My
ceremonies are designed under the guidance of theatric
principals, which is why my bridal parties face their
guests. This visual access ability must be maintained
at all times during your ceremony, especially when lighting
your unity candle or when you wine share or use your
blessing tree etc. Those accessories (and what's holding
them) must compliment your imagery- not detract from
it. Photography and videography will suffer too if this
is ignored. Therefore, place your ceremony options on
a pedestal as shown above.
Three kinds of "structures"
are used to hold wedding

ceremony
accessories:
The Pedestal.
As shown above Pin and Nina are using a pedestal and they
have chosen well. The pedestal is masonry and is being used
in a masonry environment. In a natural setting, a wooden pedestal
or stand would be a good choice. (See the photo on the bottom
of this page.)
High Boy or Cocktail
Table. This waist high stand is what your venue will
provide for you if you do not secure a pedestal. It is better
than a table, but because of it's greater size, it is not
as good as a pedestal.
Covered Table.
The least desirable structure to hold your accessories. A
table, typically draped by a white cloth, creates a huge white
featureless mass in your photography as well as masking you
from our view. |
