There is always something new popping up to consider during the ceremony. Today its hair and veils.
Let's begin with hair. If you (bride/bridesmaids) are having a special hair style done that is prominent on one side, then make sure you know which side of your profile will be facing the guests. This way you can get that side of your hair done and not waste money if you are facing the wrong way for your hairstyle to be seen. This happened in a recent ceremony I did. I was the only one who was able to see the bride's beautiful flower (on her left side) that she had in her hair. The side facing the guests was nice, but plain. Ask your officiant ahead of time which side your profile will be on.
Blushers (veils in the front) are another thing to consider in the logistics of the ceremony. I don't think any of my brides wore a veil in the front last summer. I've already had 3 or 4 this summer. Logistically, a good place to move the blusher is after the Giving Away the Bride. At this point the bride's father (or whomever escorts her) may lift the blusher and place it over the back. This makes for a nice transition in the ceremony. Another way to do it is to have the blusher remain down until the end of the ceremony when the groom kisses the bride for the first time. Either way is more than acceptable. You will want to talk with your officiant about the approriate time to move the blusher if you are wearing one.
