4. Couples Take the Stage (Alone!)
If couples choose to have a wedding party, they are not standing next to them during the ceremony. Instead, they are seated during the ceremony with the main focus being the couple. It makes for some amazing photos and directs more attention to the couple. PRO TIP: Remember to have your officiant move out of the way for your first kiss!
5. Dress Code Etiquette
What do you wear to a wedding? That’s what many of your guests start to think as soon as they receive their invitation. Make it easier for them and let them know how fancy it’s going to be. Also, if you’re wanting to achieve a certain color palette include the shades with your dress code. This will make for a beautiful aesthetic during family and group photos and leave the guess work out of what to wear for your guests. Your Hermann Hill wedding coordinator will definitely assist you with your mood boards and are experts in Canva.
6. Live Painting
Hire a professional painter to come and document your day! It’s fun to watch your guests interact with them and watch your painting come together and then have a special memory to display in your home. We have several that we have worked with a recommend! We love this portrait from Cindy Scott Artistry!
7. The Throwback Cake
Ever looked at your parent’s wedding photos and checked out their cake? Chances are it was elaborate and had many tiers and maybe even a fountain! These are making a huge comeback. Modernize it now with fun and fresh flavors like pumpkin with espresso buttercream or lemon with blueberry. The above cake was from wedding of Samuel and Katie and was inspired by her mothers’ wedding cake!
8. Private Vows
Couples are choosing to say their vows to one another in private before the ceremony and then opting to read a simplified version during the ceremony. The Hermann Hill Personal Chapel is a quiet and private place tucked away in the woods for this.
9. Secret Elopement. Couples are going a step further and sneaking away before their wedding day and eloping. They are choosing to celebrate with just the two of them and take away from the stress of planning! Hermann Hill has elopement packages you can add on or if you’re planning a wedding elsewhere, take advantage of our solo elopement packages.

10. The Reverse Micro Wedding
What happens when you don’t want to elope but you don’t want the big wedding? The micro wedding is the in-between and holds all the elements of your larger wedding but with less guests and time spent with them. It’s been huge for the past five years and now we’re’ seeing a different spin on it. Invite your guests and have them start out with a cocktail hour and join them! After a bit, move to the ceremony and get married! It’s low key and doesn’t include the longer processions that are in traditional weddings. Our Micro Package is a perfect fit and your Hermann Hill Wedding Coordinator will assist with your timeline and make sure they are smooth transitions.
