Wedding Glossary – Toronto Wedding Planner

Wednesday, 13 March 2019 by eventsbywhim

THERE ARE WAAAY TOO MANY WEDDING INDUSTRY WORDS, TERMS AND ACRONYMS, AM I RIGHT?!

I remember when I was planning my own wedding, it felt like there were so many acronyms and so many terms that were thrown at me in every meeting with every vendor. I felt like i was out of the loop and didn’t always understand the lingo.
Since launching Events by Whim, one of my biggest passions was to help couples feel empowered in their planning decisions by removing some of the mystery around the wedding industry. I hope this glossary helps you!

Aisle Runner: fabric or other decor that runs the length of the aisle

A-Line: a dress shape that has a fitted bodice and a slightly flared skirt starting from the waist

Appliqué: a french word that means ‘applied’ and in the wedding industry refers to decorating fabric by applying and layering other cut pieces of fabric over it

Arbor: a group of branches or latticework that forms an archway for a bride and groom to stand beneath during their wedding ceremony.

AV: refers to audio/visual – most venues require you to work with an AV vendor to determine your sound and lighting requirements. Often work hand in hand with a DJ.

Ball gown: a tight, fitted bodice and definite waistline with gathered or pleated full skirt.

Ballet: a veil that falls somewhere between the knee and the ankle. Also known as a Waltz veil

BEO: Banquet Event Order – this is the document that outlines your final selections for food, drink and service times with your reception venue. This powerful doc will determine your service for your reception and must be signed off by the venue and the couple

Bentwood Chair: a popular option associated with laid-back, effortless elegance

Birdcage veil: skims the face and head, never falling below the chin

Black Tie: A formal dress code that calls for tuxedos and evening gowns

This wedding glossary contains over 100 essential words and terms, so instead of making this the longest blog post ever, click this image below to receive the full version! Or email us at [email protected] 🙂
