Wedding Rehearsal Tips
Wedding Rehearsal Tips can be helpful to keep the rehearsal running smoothly and not have your rehearsal look disorganized. Imagine your bridal party is anxious to go to the rehearsal dinner or maybe they still need to get ready or unwind after a long flight. You want to make sure that the details have been flushed-out before you get to the rehearsal. The majority of our rehearsals over the last 16 years have gone well, with the exception of a couple where I did not follow the tips listed below.
Here are my top wedding rehearsal tips:
- Decide ahead of time on who will be walking down the aisle. If you have a planner, please give your processional list, along with their relation to you (sister, MOH, bride’s brother, etc.) at least one week before your wedding. Also, please include any name pronunciations if someone has a unique name. If you are trying to pair up your wedding party by height, ask your bridesmaids and groomsmen ahead of time to confirm their height and ask your bridesmaids to confirm their heel size. Do not try and do this at the rehearsal – it will be a disaster while everyone waits.
- Once you are at your rehearsal, please introduce your wedding planner after your bridal party has arrived.
- Start the rehearsal in the middle – this will show everyone where they are standing.
- Practice the recessional after the ceremony practice.
- Line-up your bridal party in order and practice the processional.
- Practice the hand-off, so it is smooth on the wedding day.
- If your wedding party is large, take a photo of the bridal party in the lineup incase there is a question the next day or someone is not able to attend.
- Practice the rehearsal a couple times until everyone is comfortable.
