Modern poems for wedding ceremony readings (that aren’t cheesy)

Your wedding ceremony should be a reflection of you – fun, unique, and anything but cheesy.

But it can be hard to find a reading that fits your day and your relationship. Classical poems often feel stuffy and outdated, like homework assignments. But we’ve got some suggestions for modern poems that fit modern relationships.

Wednesday Wedspiration: short (and not overly sweet) wedding readings

Wednesday Wedspiration: long readings for your wedding that DON’T suck

Our wedspiring wedding readings mini-series has looked at romantic wedding readings that aren’t cheesy, wedding reading ideas from children’s books, and geeky readings, with references to zombies, time travel, and, erm, three-ways. (Edit for your own audience as required!)

Today, we carry on with some long, non-traditional wedding readings. Nothing sappy. Nothing soppy. And nothing you’ll have heard at the past five weddings you went to.

Wednesday Wedspiration: cute (but not too cute) wedding readings from children’s books

Let’s talk about children’s books:

1) They’re written to be read aloud, so they’re melodic and easy to read, even for the most nervous speaker.

2) They’re short and sweet, and give everyone who hears them the warm and fuzzies.

3) And they usually give a good, clear message about love, respect, kindness, and embracing adventure.

Sounds like a pretty good place to look for wedding reading ideas!

Continuing our mini-series of wedspiring wedding readings, today we’re looking at cute – but not too cute – children’s books you can read during your wedding ceremony.

Wednesday Wedspiration: romantic wedding readings that AREN’T cheesy

I talk a lot on here (well, you knew that – but specifically) about finding ways to bring your personality into your wedding day and making it feel like you.

I’ve spoken about bringing some personality into your invitation wording, your boutineers, your wedding send-off, your table plan, even your cake topper. But I haven’t spoken about the easiest and most natural way to bring some fun and some personality to your wedding: having a ceremony reading.

To make up for this truly grevious oversight, I’m running a whole Wednesday Wedspiration mini-series on ideas for non-traditional – and non-sappy – wedding readings: long readings, short readings, readings from children’s books, readings most definitely not from children’s books, and – what we’re kicking off with today – romantic wedding readings that aren’t cheesy.

Our speciality is creating (gorgeous) wedding webs Our speciality is creating (gorgeous) wedding websites that take the stress of wedding planning off your shoulders.⁠

But you can still send out (gorgeous) invitations to go with your website, giving your guests the magical anticipation of opening up mail that ISN'T a bill! (It's rare!)⁠
⁠
A paper invitation gets your guests excited for your wedding in a way an email just can't.⁠
⁠
And it gives them a reminder of your day they can pop on their fridge - something to remind them your wedding is coming up and get them looking forward to it!⁠
⁠
We make paper invitations to match all our websites - and we can even customise the design with each guest's unique password!⁠
⁠
Check out our range of invitations on our website. (Link in bio.)
Whatever style of wedding you’re having, wedding Whatever style of wedding you’re having, wedding veils are one tradition worth considering.⁠
⁠
Whether it’s matched with a cocktail dress, a three piece suit, a puffy white dress, or a jumpsuit, a veil marks you out as the person getting married and elevates your entire ensemble into something more special and less every day. ⁠

Table names are a fantastic place to work in some more personality without feeling cheesy or distracting; they need names anyway, so people can tell them apart!⁠

Wedding suppliers aren't just people you hire to t Wedding suppliers aren't just people you hire to take photos or make stationery.⁠
⁠
They're the people who make your wedding happen. ⁠
⁠
So it's important to find people you click with, who get your sense of humour, share your values, and match your style.⁠ People you'd invite to your wedding if they weren't working it!⁠
⁠
If you're eco-conscious, hiring a cake maker who doesn't know what sustainability means probably won't end with you having the low carbon footprint wedding you'd expected.⁠
⁠
If you're having an alternative festival wedding with fun fair games and food trucks, hiring a traditional planner with a portfolio of church weddings probably won't be best placed to organise the day you’re picturing.⁠
⁠
It's important that you find people on your wavelength to help with your wedding.⁠

And some of the worst offenders are parents, siblings, and people in the wedding party, who assume they don't have to RSVP because you already know they're coming - forgetting about meal choices, plus one details, allergy information...
