After ceremony question , and matr'd question?

I want to have the picture of everyone throwing the rose petals as we walk out. Do we have to set this up? OR do we have to figure out a way to have everyone go out before us? Do we stand at the doors and say hi to everyone as they walk out? and then we go out?

I just want an idea of how it will work.

Also, we are picking up the flowers and taking them with us to the RH. It is only the memorial table bouquet, and 2 centerpieces. If I have them in the limo, does someone like the Matr'd come out and help get them out of the limo and set them up??? Is that like a given, or do I have to set that up with the RH?

As far as the picture goes, tell your photographer and he will set that shot up.

As far as getting the flower set up, I'm not sure how that works.

We walked out first during the recessional, so we stayed in the back of the church and did our receiving line as the rest of the BP and guests exited... that way everyone was outside before us.. then you do your exit for the pics.

My church was going to do it a little differently, but I said at the rehearsal that I preferred it this way.

Have your ushers hand out the rose petals to your guests as the come into the church for the ceremony. We had a receiving line in the vestibule of our church and people walked outside after greeting us. When everyone was out of the church, our bridal party lined up on the steps and we came out the doors. At this point, your guests would throw the rose petals. I would confirm with your church, if you are allowed to throw petals - some feel it is a safety hazard. We used bubbles which looked amazing in our photos.

As for your RH and the items in your limo. Our bridal attendant met us at the limo and took what we wanted inside. I would let your RH know that you will have centerpieces, etc. with you and that they will need to be set up prior to your cocktail hour. It's better to pre-arrange this so that you won't have to scramble on the day of.

For the chruch photo just tell your photog you want that picture and they will do it for you.

Sometimes the limo driver will bring the flowers inside for you when he drops you off, but speak with your RH, maybe your maitre d can help bring them in from the limo.

I figured I would have them hand out the rose petals after the ceremony. This way people don't drop them on the floor or w/e. Thank you girls. :)

I just didn't want it to be awkward when we left lol like 'okay, we walk down the isle now....okay now go back down to the alter and wait for people to leave so you can come out' hah I just didn't want it to be crazy.
