"More and more couples are not following the traditional path of first comes marriage . . . many of our couples have already started their families before they are married, and this opens the door to incorporate your kids in meaningful ways on the wedding day.
We have seen some sweet ways to incorporate kids. Some choose to present their kids with a special gift during the ceremony, such as a piece of jewelry. Some include them in their vows and give the kids a chance to say a few words as well. Floral is a great way to incorporate kids as well, so the kids can have matching but smaller versions of bouquets, boutonnieres, floral crowns, etc. If the kids are too small to walk, we have seen brides or grooms carry them in to start the ceremony. The other nice thing about including your kids in your wedding is that you can get some epic family portraits after the ceremony, so we encourage people to build a little extra time into their photography timeline for that. It makes the ceremony extra special and something the family will remember for a lifetime." — Simple Maui Wedding
