This can be for many reasons: wanting the first glance to be a private and intimate experience or snapping some pictures while the bride\u2019s hair and makeup are still fresh.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_bridesmaids_must_wear_the_same_dress\"><\/span>All bridesmaids must wear the same dress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your bridesmaids have agreed to be there for you on your big day, so why force them to spend a boat-load of money on a dress they may not ever wear again? By allowing them to pick a dress that works for their bodies (you can still provide some guidelines like color or length), your bridesmaids will feel more comfortable dancing the night away at your reception party.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strict_seating\"><\/span>Strict seating<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Traditionally, seating at the ceremony is split\u2014bride\u2019s guests on the left and groom\u2019s guests on the right. It is not uncommon to have an unequal amount of guests, so why not allow guests to sit where they please? You may also consider leaving the theatre-style seating arrangement entirely behind. Lounge-style seating, especially for outdoor receptions, has recently become quite popular.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_249290386-edit.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding seating plan ideas without a bride and groom side\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_249290386-edit.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/shutterstock_249290386-edit-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Honeymooning_right_away\"><\/span>Honeymooning right away<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The wedding day can be an exciting but is also a very busy day!
