Planning Ahead
Starting around nine to twelve months ahead can give you more room to choose a budget, style, venue, and host. Around six months before the day, arrange your outfits and photography team. In the final three months, discuss rehearsals, makeup, menus, and music, then confirm the timeline and seating plan as the date approaches.LOHERB Wedding
Welcoming Guests & Making an Entrance
Your wedding party can help guests find their seats, with close family seated near the front. A ceremony may begin with the wedding party and flower children, followed by the couple’s entrance. Choose the order, seating, and companions that feel right for your families.LOHERB Wedding
The Ceremony
The host can open with a welcome, followed by a reading or words from loved ones. The couple may then share vows, exchange rings, celebrate with a kiss, and walk back down the aisle together. Keep the moments that matter to you.

Choosing the Meal
After the ceremony, allow around 60–90 minutes for food and conversation, depending on your plans. The couple can take a short break while guests settle in. Two dining styles to consider are:
A French-Inspired Wedding Set Menu: courses served at the table by the dining team, with thoughtful presentation and time to enjoy each dish. Music can add a lovely backdrop.LOHERB Wedding
A Buffet Reception: a selection of food and desserts for guests to help themselves, making it easy to move around and chat.

Reception Moments
A reception can include the couple’s entrance, an introduction from the host, a personal film, toasts, family speeches, or a first dance. Arrange the meal around these moments, then include cake cutting, dancing, or a bouquet toss if they suit your celebration.LOHERB Wedding
Sharing the Fun
A little time for conversation or a simple game can help guests from different tables get to know one another. Choose an activity that feels comfortable for your group, so everyone can share in the couple’s happy day.

Saying Thank You
As the celebration draws to a close, the couple and family can gather near the exit to thank guests. Wedding sweets or small favors offer a lovely keepsake. Arrange the farewell in the way that feels natural to you.LOHERB Wedding
A wedding timeline gives the day a gentle rhythm, with plenty of room for your own style. Discuss it with your planner, host, photographer, and venue team so each person knows where they fit and you can enjoy the celebration.
