About
Hi! I’m Susie and I live with my family near the beach in Byron Bay. People say they enjoy that my ceremonies are relaxed, personal and delivered with warmth and fun (at the right moments). My combined interest in ceremony, the fact that I just LOVE a good love story, and my experience as a corporate facilitator naturally let me to become a Celebrant. 1100+ weddings on, I still love shaping, and sharing in, these powerful moments with inspirational humans.

Is there a traditional left and right side for the bride's family and groom's family?
Does the bride's side traditionally sit on the left or the right at the ceremony?
Susie Figgis Byron Celebrant
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).
