You can decide every aspect and detail of the celebration and organize it as you prefer. Let\u2019s see how.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\n<h2><b>WHAT IS A SYMBOLIC MARRIAGE<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symbolic marriage is not a legal union, and is usually preceded by a civil ceremony in order to make it legal. However, there are also those who prefer to perform only the symbolic rite without a civil marriage.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ceremony has no fixed ritual, but is based solely on the sacredness of the couple&#8217;s love and history, retraced through memories and important symbols.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symbolic ceremony is not recognised by any religion, but it takes on great meaning for the two people who decide to unite their lives.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, it gives enormous flexibility in terms of organization, the spouses can decide to celebrate the union in any location and they can create an arrangement that incorporates the values, ideas and preferences of both.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Italy, symbolic marriage has begun to spread especially in recent years. Nowadays there are many people who decide to use this rite to get married, personalizing the ceremony even more.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\n<h2><b>TYPES OF SYMBOLIC MARRIAGE\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different kinds of rituals to celebrate a symbolic marriage, each couple can choose the one that best reflects their union. Here are some examples:<\/span>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Sand rite\n<li>Ceremony of light or candles\n<li>Ritual of the tied hands or handfasting\n<li>Symbolic Chuppah ritual\n<li>Tree planting ceremony\n<li>Ring Warming or rite of love infusion\n<li>Ritual with the oath stone\n<li>Ritual of the memory box\n<li>Sugar rite\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2><b>HOW TO ORGANIZE A SYMBOLIC WEDDING<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symbolic marriage is free from dogma and rules, so couples have a lot of leeway in planning the event.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is good to include some elements to make the ceremony a meaningful event for both partners.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to prepare for a symbolic wedding?<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Writing vows &#8211; The vows are the most important part of the symbolic wedding, as they symbolize the promises made by each partner. There are no fixed rules for the vows, except that they should be said from the heart.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Exchange rings &#8211; Couples can choose to exchange rings just as in civil and religious weddings.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Have a witness &#8211; Even a symbolic wedding should be witnessed, to make it even more meaningful for the couple and those attending the event.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Have a celebrant \u2013 He\/she can be a professional but also a close friend, a family member or someone the couple considers important.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span>\n<h2><b>ORGANIZATION OF THE CEREMONY<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even a symbolic wedding needs the right organization and a budget from where to start, so that the ceremony and the subsequent celebrations can be perfect.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After choosing the right location,\u00a0 we move on to the set-up, which should reflect the wishes of the bride and groom and the character they have decided to give to their event.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decorations can include the arch, altar, path, chairs, flowers, and anything else that is in line with the chosen style.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The music that accompanies the bride toward the altar cannot be missing, and should be chosen carefully in order to make the moment of the \u201cYES\u201d even more emotional.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, as we have already said, there are no rules, the symbolic wedding leaves you free to handle everything according to your wishes.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a wedding planner, I assist the bride and groom in all kinds of wedding rituals. Contact me if you want to free yourself from the commitments related to organizing the ceremony and setting up the location where you will hold the reception.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-aed5258 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no qodef-elementor-back-btn-skin-default\" data-id=\"aed5258\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d7bb0a4\" data-id=\"d7bb0a4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-070300a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"070300a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/es\/@enginakyurt?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">engin akyurt<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Respect for the environment is an increasingly central theme in our daily lives, and those who care particularly about it, want to carry it forward even on their wedding day.<br \/>\nOrganising a vegan, eco-friendly and ethical wedding to reduce waste and protect the environment is possible.
