TREND ALERT – Rounded Ceremony Layouts - Fenix Events Wedding Blog

TREND ALERT – Rounded Ceremony Layouts

It’s a new year, and a new season of weddings. And that means a whole bunch of exciting new trends and styling for us to play with. One of the newest ones that’s starting to come through, is a mix up of the traditional ceremony set up by introducing a rounded feel to the seating. This makes the entire ceremony experience more inclusive, welcoming and modern. The old school feel of the couple being up and on display in front of straight rows of guests can be a little formal and sometimes it’s difficult for guests at the back to see. Having a completely circular, or semi-circular layout is just different enough while still keeping the couple as the centre of attention, to be a refreshing and contemporary change of pace.

PROS
– More inclusive feel for guests
– Better visibility
– New and different; no one will forget it!
– Flexibility of styling options; can be done up to be opulent, or carefully decorated to feel cozy and relaxed

CONS
– You may not be able to achieve this look, depending on the layout of your venue (luckily at Fenix, we already have a semi-circle shaped room, so you’re in luck!)
– If you want to be elevated for your vows, you may have to find a circular stage, or something that looks good from all angles!
– If you have a lot of guests attending with traditional values, you may run into some opposition
– There’s no clear-cut ‘aisle’ for you to walk down (in a full circle ceremony)

All in all, we’re excited to see what gorgeous set ups and styling 2019 brings with it, and we’re confident that our Fenix couples will showcase the best of the best!
