Top creative tips to offer inspiration when choosing wedding readings, whether it is for barefoot nuptials on a foreign beach or a winter church wedding by candle light.

Readings can be used not only to personalise a wedding, but to echo the time of year, to create a sense of place and to enrich the dramatic element of the theme.

Scottish Wedding in June

Fairytale Spring Wedding

Summer Wedding Breakfast in an Orchard

July,

and the rich apples

once again falling.

You put them to your lips,

as you were meant to.......

Autumn/ Fall Wedding Under Trees

Then, we shall walk through dusty lanes

And pause beneath low-hanging boughs,

And there, while soft-hued beauty reigns

We’ll make our vows

Church Wedding in Winter

When using a longer reading, to make it more interesting, consider splitting it up so that two or more people read. That will keep it lively and interesting.
