About
Hi! I’m Susie and I live a short bike ride away from South Golden Beach (just north of Byron Bay). I’m a health-conscious, sunshine-loving truth seeker and I LOVE nature, dancing, camping, travelling and adventures of all kinds. I also love Margaritas, Earl Grey tea and laughing in unison with anyone, anytime. It brings me great joy to help shape and share in these wonderful marriage moments with lovely people in beautiful places sharing happy tears and smiling faces. I

Does the bride's side traditionally sit on the left or the right at the ceremony?

I'm provide advice on this one thats a little bit radical. I suggest that the Brides family sit on the opposite side to where she's standing and same for the Groom .. this is so that the respective families can see the full face of their child while they are making their committments, rather than only being able to see them from from behind. It makes such a differnce to family's viewing pleasure.
Regarding which side traditionally is Grooms on right if you are guest looking towards the front, but this can be switched for many reasons .. including the position of the sun (better for Groom to get sun in his eyes than th bride) and sometiems a bride feels she has a better side or a hairdo that she wants to stand on one particular side

Its a special invitation, so I'd say to choose a moment that feels special, and do the same with your ring bearers and witnesses.
I also suggest having a conversation around what it means for you to be asking these people to be your "bridal party". What are you offering and what are your expectations of them? For example make sure your Maid of honour knows that she will need to help with your dress when you arrive down the isle, and perhaps again when you turn to face your fiance mid way throught your cermony. (It's amazing how many brideamaides / MOH's aren't prepared or pre-warned that they need to do this!)
Another cool idea that lots of my couples like these days is to actually offer the bridal party a chance to sit down 1/2 way through the cermony so thay can also see and experience your faces while you are saying yoru Vows. This just involves creating a few reserved signs so they can have good viewing when they are invited to take a seat (usually 2nd row).
