What is a naming ceremony ?

29/5/2025

0 Comments

 

A naming ceremony is a non-religious way to welcome a child into the world officially.  To introduce their name, to make promises for the future and to gather family and friends who will be there to support them as they grow.

Whether you are welcoming a newborn, an older child, an adopted child or step child,  it is a joyful and meaningful event that can be as simple or elaborate as you want.

Unlike a christening or any other religous rites a naming is entirly personal and inclusive.

Welcoming a new life is a moment worth celebrating.  If you are curious about naming ceremonies or want to start planning yours, I'm here to help.

Planning a Summer wedding ?

Making the most of summer evenings.

What could be more romantic than saying your vows as the sun is slowly setting and as twilight brings a magical feeling to the air.

Your ceremony could involve lighting candles as the light slowly fades around you.  The change of light also provides a gorgous backdrop for your photos .

It can be a perfect transition into your evening of celebration too.

Summer wedding locations

As Wedding celebrations are held after a couple have completed the legal declarations you are free to hold your ceremony anywhere, at any time.

There are some stunning venues which are ideal for a Summer Wedding celebration - gardens, beaches, vineyards, forests.  A Celebrant led ceremony can make the most of these venues.  As each ceremony I create is bespoke we can make the most of your beautiful setting.

​Contact me for further suggestions and ideas.

What to wear to stay cool and stylish

Summer ceremonies allow you to be a little less formal and relaxed.

You could consider relaxing the dress code and ditch the morning suits for lightweight fabrics and breatherable materials when considering what you and your wedding party , will wear.

If you are holding the cermony on a beach then you could always go barefoot.

Lean into the summer vibe and aim for a relaxed and joyful feeling to your day.

Summer rituals - embracing the season of love

Why not incorporate lots of flowers into your theme.  This year's trend is for bright and blousy flowers such as peonies and cabbage roses .

You could incorporate these in many ways 
  • creating a large floral back drop for your ceremony
  • table decorations
  • flowers for the bride and her attendants
  • Using flower petals for a confetti tunnel as you leave your ceremony
  • flower crowns

You could also use flowers withing your ceremoy by exchanging a rose as a symbol of love.

Why not weave the idea of sunshine into your vows or readings ?
