 Hi
I do not post here very often at all, but I love the website! All the people that do post here seem like a lovely creative bunch, soooooo... I wondered if anyone has any nice wedding ceremony, reception ideas. I am getting married on summer solstice, and wanted to use the festival as inspiration for the day. Any ideas would be gratefully received!

MM Firegem,

Firstly congrats on your forthcoming ceremony. Ideas for getting married on a Soltice? difficult to say really without knowing a time. Most of the sites would be busy in the morning for sun up but in theory would be empty toward the latter parts of the day.
I did attend a wedding and hand fasting a few years back at nine ladies which was wonderful,
One of the best weddings / receptions I have attended was held in someones back garden, firearches, the works.

Congratulations! A solstice wedding sounds wonderful. I don't really have any suggestions as to how to do it but just wanted to congratulate you.

Hi Firegem, and Congratulations! :)

My partner and I were going to have a solstice ceremony, we had to change our plans / dates to suit some family members (kind of regret that now) but it was still a lovely day. We had a barefoot ceremony in my parents garden, with a small gathering of close friends and family, and hung ribbons in the trees. (Dad later planted a rose bush to mark the occasion - called the Wedding Rose, and it's beautiful!!). My bouquet was a small bunch of flowers, grasses, herbs and wheat we picked in the morning during a relaxing walk to calm down before everyone started arriving lol (I still have it too). I made my own dress (it ended up being a top and skirt as a dress seemed a little much for my first attempt at dressmaking lol)... and one day we're going to have another ceremony... just because we can! :)

Personally I'm not really one for any of the big sacred sites (especially not on festival days/nights - as Pagonwolf said, most of them will be busy too) I'd much rather go for finding a place that is special for personal reasons, or a place that has that 'spark' feeling.

Any ideas for how / where you'd like to have your ceremony yet?
