In this guide, we&#8217;ll take you through the wedding words that matter most, along with some suggestions on wording to use inside a wedding card.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.ubmz7cgmzfb1\"><strong>Your Wedding Words Guide<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Have you ever found yourself wondering what the difference is between a processional and a recessional? Are you puzzled about the different dress codes for weddings, like formal attire or cocktail attire? If so, take a look at some of the most important wedding words to know whether you\u2019re planning a wedding, or attending as a guest and writing a card for the happy couple.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.t06sw2fl405a\"><strong>Ceremony<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sure, weddings can feel like a day-long party, but the most-loved moments happen in the wedding ceremony. It\u2019s the focus of the day and the official start of the newlyweds\u2019 adventure as a married couple.<\/p>\n<p>This moment comes with a lot of unique vocabulary, so here are some of the wedding words that focus on the nuptials. Use them to create a fun pun in a wedding card \u2014 like the idea of ushering in a new era. Or, let these words inspire your vows by including how you\u2019ve always dreamed of standing at the altar with your beloved.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aisle:<\/strong>\u00a0Whether\u00a0it\u2019s past church pews or casual chairs on a beach, the aisle is where the wedding party will walk to make it to the officiant and the altar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Altar:<\/strong>\u00a0When it comes to weddings, the altar doesn\u2019t just represent the traditional religious structure. Here it can refer to any location where the exchange of vows takes place, like an archway in a stately home or in front of a garden sculpture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best man:<\/strong>\u00a0Think of the best man as the groom&#8217;s right-hand man at the wedding. This equivalent of the maid of honor is there to support the groom and usually stands alongside them during the ceremony. He is considered the most important of the groomsmen.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bridesmaids: <\/strong>These are the people who precede the bride down the aisle. They usually consist of the bride&#8217;s close female friends and family, but in modern ceremonies, bridesmaids may include male friends and family as well. They are there to support the bride on her big day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celebrant: <\/strong>Alongside family and friends, the celebrant is one of the most important people at a wedding. After all, they\u2019re the official that can pronounce the happy couple as joined in matrimony. Anyone can be a celebrant, but popular options include members of the clergy, justices of the peace, or close friends.<\/li>\n<li><strong>First look:<\/strong>\u00a0Instead of exchanging first glances as you walk down the aisle, a first look gives the couple the chance to greet each other before the ceremony begins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flower girl:<\/strong>\u00a0As the name suggests, the flower girl scatters petals or floral confetti down the aisle as they walk behind the bridal party. Flower girls are often young females in the newlyweds&#8217; family but may be the children of close friends, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Groomsmen:<\/strong>\u00a0These are the people who support the groom on his big day. Traditionally, they are the groom&#8217;s close male friends or family members. But, in modern ceremonies, groomsmen can include the groom&#8217;s female friends and family too. They will either wait with the groom at the altar or accompany the bridesmaids down the aisle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maid of honor:<\/strong>\u00a0The maid of honor (or matron of honor if she is a married woman) is found by the bride\u2019s side at the ceremony and usually handles the bridal shower and bachelorette party, and helps with other preparations. This will usually be one of the bride\u2019s best friends or a close family member. She is considered the most important of the bridesmaids.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pageboy:<\/strong>\u00a0Like the flower girl, the pageboy follows the wedding party down the aisle. They&#8217;re often a family member or the son of a close friend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Procession:<\/strong>\u00a0The procession is one of the most memorable moments of a wedding ceremony. It\u2019s where the bridal party walks down the aisle, followed by the bride. This is easy to confuse with processional, which is the music that plays as the procession takes place.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recessional:<\/strong>\u00a0Just as the processional marks the start of the ceremony, the recessional ends it. This is the music you\u2019ll hear the happy couple walk out to as they start their journey into married life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ring bearer:<\/strong>\u00a0Simply put, this is the person in possession of the wedding rings or wedding bands at the ceremony. This could be anyone, but often it\u2019s a young family member of the couple.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Usher:<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re ever lost on your way to your seat, these are the people who\u2019ll help guide you. Ushers are friends or family members that take a proactive role in the day, helping the couple with arrangements and making sure things run smoothly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wedding vows:<\/strong>\u00a0Here&#8217;s where the happy couple declare their love for one another and make promises about their union. Some couples opt for religious or traditional vows, while others write their own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h.g5aqdbgziadu\">Dress Code<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-858.png\" alt=\"Wedding words: two ceremony chairs decorated flowers and signs that read &quot;forever&quot; and &quot;always&quot;\" width=\"850\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-858.png 1050w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-858-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-858-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most weddings have a dress code, even if it\u2019s a very casual affair. This helps guests choose the perfect outfit without worrying about how they\u2019ll fit in.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re sticking to a dress code you\u2019ll want to include this on your wedding invitation cards. Keep it simple with a request for black tie only, or make a play on words around your beachfront wedding attire. Here\u2019s a quick run-through of some of the dress codes you might encounter as a wedding guest or choose for your wedding day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Beach formal: <\/strong>Imagine beach formal just like formal but with a focus on being comfortable and practical at the beach. Think summer suits, khakis, dress shirts, and elegant, light-weight dresses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black tie:<\/strong>\u00a0Guests should wear tuxedos or an evening gown or cocktail dress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black tie optional:<\/strong>\u00a0This is similar to black tie, but it\u2019s a little more relaxed as guests can swap out the tuxedo for a formal suit instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Casual dress:<\/strong>\u00a0This laid-back dress code doesn\u2019t mean anything goes. Instead, guests are likely to wear a suit\u00a0or slacks with a shirt and blazer or opt for a cocktail dress, sundress, or casual gown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocktail attire: <\/strong>This is a dress code that calls for something sophisticated and glamorous. Dark suits, ties optional, and knee-length or longer dresses work well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Formal attire:<\/strong>\u00a0This dress code is much like black tie optional but with a more relaxed feel. Guests\u00a0can opt for a tuxedo, a two- or three-piece suit, or a formal cocktail dress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White tie:<\/strong> This is the most formal dress code where guests are expected to wear a tuxedo with a white tie and white shirt or dress in an elegant, long gown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h.d2afd3pupmeo\"><strong>Floral Arrangements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From spring to winter, weddings are often filled with beautiful flowers that complement the couple\u2019s tastes. With so many different arrangements and ways to feature flowers at weddings, it can get confusing.<\/p>\n<p>Here are\u00a0some of the most common floral features you\u2019ll see at a wedding. You could reference them on your wedding invitations, like how guests can use a hashtag to share photos by your flower wall. Or, you can weave in a mention of the meaning of your bridal flowers as part of a toast or dedication.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bouquet:<\/strong>\u00a0This is the name given to the bunches of flowers you\u2019ll see walked\u00a0down the aisle by the bridal party. Most notable is the bridal bouquet, often tossed into the crowd as part of a long-standing wedding tradition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boutonniere:<\/strong>\u00a0A floral decoration worn on the left lapel of the suit jacket. This is often a single flower or bud, coordinated with the bridal bouquet or ceremony flowers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Centerpiece:<\/strong>\u00a0The gorgeous floral arrangements you see on tables at the ceremony and wedding reception are known as centerpieces. These flowers help tie the decor together and add interest to the tables.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corsage:<\/strong>\u00a0While men traditionally wear boutonnieres, the women in the family often wear corsages. These small floral arrangements are worn on the wrist.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flower wall:<\/strong>\u00a0These beautiful, striking displays make the perfect backdrop for guest photos. Flower walls are made from real or artificial blooms, usually in the wedding colors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garland:<\/strong>\u00a0Like the traditional garlands that decorate tables during the festive season, these long, delicate floral displays are also found at weddings. They often feature greenery, flowers, and other natural elements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nosegay:<\/strong>\u00a0These small, delicate mini-bouquets are usually held by bridesmaids and members of the bridal party. They often complement the bride\u2019s bouquet without taking attention away from it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h.6g8ur6t21s8p\"><strong>Food and Drink<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After the ceremony, it\u2019s time to indulge in some delicious food and drink. A wedding day is the perfect time to serve and enjoy great food, specialty cocktails, and themed snacks. These are some of the culinary wedding words you might run into.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s always helpful for guests to know what food will be served, so you may want to mention this on your wedding invitations. A sweet reference to your wedding cake or how amazing it was to share the meal with them could also go into your thank you notes\u00a0to your guests after the wedding.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Canapes:<\/strong>\u00a0These bite-sized snacks are often served during cocktail hour, the period between the ceremony and the formal wedding meal. Think of them as small appetizers to keep your guests sated till dinner.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Head table:<\/strong>\u00a0This is the table where the couple enjoy their formal meal, usually surrounded by their closest family and friends. It\u2019s also where you\u2019ll see speeches being made before or after dinner by the best man, father of the bride, or other loved ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open bar:<\/strong>\u00a0Instead of offering only wine at tables or a set number of drinks, some couples opt for an open bar. Here, you\u2019re offering a full range of bar drinks to your guests, which means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonappetit.com\/story\/open-bar-wedding-without-spending-fortune\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it can get pretty expensive<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rehearsal dinner:<\/strong>\u00a0Named so because it usually happens directly after the wedding rehearsal, this meal is where the couple welcomes close family and friends to eat together ahead of the big day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wedding cake:<\/strong>\u00a0This sweet (or savory) treat is often the centerpiece of the dessert table. Wedding cakes are traditionally made from fruit and sponge layers, but some non-traditional picks include cheese, donuts, or ice-cream.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h.34zmlmr521cp\"><strong>Stationery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_6918\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6918\" class=\"wp-image-6918\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-856.png\" alt=\"Wedding words: A wedding invitation with a photo and envelope\" width=\"400\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-856.png 550w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/pasted-image-0-856-258x300.png 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6918\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design: Ashley Ottinger<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Weddings generate a lot of paperwork, but the good news is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/when-to-send-wedding-invitations-timeline\">wedding stationery<\/a>\u00a0is all wonderfully decorated and perfectly on theme. From save the dates to escort cards, these are some of the stationery-themed wedding words you might come across.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Escort card:<\/strong>\u00a0These small, useful cards help guests find their seat at the wedding meal. They\u2019re often found at the entrance to the reception or in another easy-to-find location.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invitation:<\/strong>\u00a0Whether it\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/designs\/wedding-invitations\">digital wedding invitation<\/a>\u00a0or something you send by post, a formal invitation lets guests know they\u2019re welcome to celebrate this big moment with the happy couple.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Save the dates<\/strong>:\u00a0Before formal wedding invitations are ready, the couple will want to make sure guests keep the date free.

There\u2019s no set wording you need to use and you can forget formal traditions that suggest you avoid writing \u201cCongratulations!\u201d in a card. You could opt for a wedding quote about love or wish the happy couple a happy marriage in your own words.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re stuck for ideas or need some extra inspiration, here are a few sweet wedding phrases you could include in a wedding card.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cCongratulations on your beautiful day!
