Honor Your Brother In Your Wedding. Here's How!

There is no denying the fact that your partner completes you in every possible way, but it is also true that no one gets you quite like your sibling, especially your brother. The most loving yet the most irritating creature God created for your life. Having a brother is indeed a blessing. Your brother has been there through thick and thin, good hair days and bad, and all the messy breakups and makeup of your life! So, let's show some love for your brother on your big day by involving him in your wedding. Well, there are chances that they may show some embarrassing childhood photos in the slideshow at your rehearsal dinner or try to humiliate (in a good way) you during their toast at your wedding reception that will get everyone laughing their hearts out, but you also know that you would not have it any other way! So, if your world is incomplete without your brother, here are some really incredible and also cute ideas for honoring your brother at your wedding! Trust us, you are gonna love these unique and extremely loveable ideas of making your brother an integral part of your wedding day and also in your wedding portfolio.

 

As Handsome Bridemen or Bridal Party Member

Standing up at the wedding altar with your brother is not what your wedding guests would have expected on your wedding day, but it’s your wedding day! You have the complete right to do whatever you want. Well, let us tell you that there is no such rule saying that your bridesmaids or bridal party members have to be women! Gone are the days when our brides were used to sticking to all the wedding traditions. Our modern-day romantic brides are adding their twist to the wedding traditions while making them more personalized! So, in place of your bridesmaids or someone for your bridal party, you can just nominate your dapper brother as your bridesman or even make them part of the bridal party and also include them in the processional. All you have to do is deck your brother in the coordinated outfit to look stunning in your wedding portraits captured by our professional wedding photographers. Whether the dress code for your wedding is matching tuxedos or light-gray suits that will also perfectly complement the dark gray the other will be wearing on your wedding day, we are sure your brother will pull off that attire in the most rocking way! The coordinated look of everyone and your brother blending in will give a lot of wedding photography opportunities to your wedding photographers to capture you and your brother in swoon-worthy frames! You can also consider tying your brother into the bridal party with ties that match your lovely bridesmaid's dresses and boutonnieres that match your bridal bouquet, and also send them down the aisle ahead of you! 

 

Have “Him,” say “YES” to Your Wedding Dress

A brother and your designer wedding dress do not make an ideal combination. Your sister will most definitely be with you as you try on your wedding dresses before settling for your dream wedding dress. But, to bring in a little twist, you can consider involving your brother to stop when you think you have found “The Dress of your Dreams!” If you and your brother share a great bond we know that his approval will mean the world to you, so give him a chance to weigh in before your big day.

 

Send Your Wedding Day To-Do List To Your Brother

No one, like seriously no one, not even your parents, knows your sibling as you do! You know your brother like the back of your hand. You understand their special and all the hidden talents, too. If your brother likes to build or is damn creative, you can let him create your wedding ceremony arch. By doing this, you will allow your brother to get involved in all those little details of your wedding day which will surely make your big day feel oh-so-personal and super-duper special! 

 

Your Brother = Perfect Usher for Your Wedding

Well, if you want to keep your bridal party exclusive to your ladies, you can still include your brother as an important part of the ceremony processional as an usher. Your charming brother can escort your wedding guests to their seats and hand out programs before the procession, and then can jump in the line and walk your grandmother or your lovely mom to have their seat for your “I do” moment. If your brother is too young or we say is a kid at heart, then he will make great escorts for the nervous and adorable flower girls and ring bearers! Your brother can either wear the attire that perfectly matches the handsome groomsmen's attire or can also go for something distinct but coordinated to look great in all your wedding photographs. 

 

Let Them Help You While You Get Ready For Your Big Day

It is true that growing up with your brother you often had experimented with fashion and beauty by giving your brother makeovers and at times doing manicures together! And not to forget raiding his closet for those hoodies and sweatshirts! Relive all those happy times by asking your adorable brother to go-to wedding dress shopping with you. And you can also ask your brother to be there and help you out when you are getting ready for the big day, even though he is not a part of the bridal party. While you get ready for your big and special day and your brother is helping you out, it will give adorable and beautiful moments to our creative wedding photographers to capture the bond of brother and sister in the best of frames. Well, you can also bring your family into your bridal suite, and once you are all decked out for the day, you all can pose for some lovely family portraits. Don’t forget to pose for some bridal portraits while you get ready and some getting-ready shots to add to your wedding day portfolio! 

 

Make Your Brother A Part of Family Processional

For a very close family, it might be hard to imagine heading down the aisle without them by your side on the most special and memorable day of your life. After all of your lovely bridal party members and a handsome squad of groomsmen have processed, honor your parents and other siblings with a family processional. Have your handsome brother walk down the aisle ahead of you together, and then you can follow him as you process with your parents in your arms. This exact moment where you float down the aisle behind your dashing brother will give endless wedding photography opportunities to our talented team of wedding photographers to document magical wedding photos in the best of frames.  

 

Your Brother At Your Wedding Altar

Jewish weddings are a great inspiration for bringing in your families to join you on your wedding altar in place of your gorgeous-looking bridal party. All you have to do is just simply reserve the front rows of your bridesmaids or wedding party and dashing groomsmen or the groom party and not to forget your siblings’ dates, and just ask them to take a seat after their big walk down the aisle. Well, then you can have both your parents and your sibling and of course, your brother stand at your beautiful decorated wedding altar with you and your darling as you both exchange your wedding vows, symbolizing their support, care, and the union of both the families! 

 

Turn To Them as Your Wedding Day DIY Pro

It’s your wedding day and the wedding tasks should not feel like a chore! It should be enjoyable for everyone involved. Allow your brother and other siblings to enjoy the most special day of your life’s preparations by playing up their talents to the fullest. A crafty brother can be your DIY wedding decor pro. He can DIY your wedding reception centerpieces, while if you have a food-loving brother can take care of the barbecue for your rehearsal dinner. All you have to do is just to make sure that you show some love and appreciation for their incredible efforts, and don’t forget to enjoy the memories you make with your lifelong partner in crime. And some photographs are a must, so do take them! 

 

Use Something That Belongs to Your Brother in Your Big Day

If by any chance your brother is already hitched before you, you can always count on them. You use something special from their big day! That will be a perfect and memorable addition to your “something old” on your wedding day. You can ask for your brother’s cufflinks or his pocket square for your “something borrowed” also! 

 

Let Your Brother Walk Your Grandparents Down the Aisle

If you are planning on having your grandparents process down the aisle on your wedding day, then we have a superb idea! You can always count on your brother to walk your grandparents down the aisle, especially if one of your grandparents is walking alone. Not only will your brother help avoid any aisle mishaps, but will also result in some really pretty and amazing wedding pictures captured by professional photographers.

 

Your Brother As a Reader

Just before it’s time for you and your sweetheart to exchange your wedding vows and be together for the rest of your life, you can ask your brother to stand up and share a few words with all your wedding guests. You can ask your brother to skip the serious words, and in place of that ask them to read the sections from one of your favorite children’s books. You can also look for a selection from books like Oh! The Places You’ll Go, Winnie the Pooh, or The Velveteen Rabbit! 

 

Ask Him To Be The Game Master on Your Wedding Day

Is your brother a huge sports fan or a die-hard competitor? And if you are planning an outdoor wedding ceremony in incredible greens, all you have to do is ask your brother to choose a few outdoor wedding games to keep all your wedding guests entertained and occupied during the cocktail hour of your wedding day celebration. Well, lawn games are not only one of the newest trends but are indeed a great way for all your wedding guests to meet and mingle while cherishing and enjoying every moment of your wedding celebration! 

 

A Brother Make the Best Toast Giver on Your Wedding Day

Wedding toasts are usually reserved for the maid/bridal party member of honor and best man/groom party member of honor, but if you and your brother are damn close to each other then trust us there is no better person than your brother to give the toast. Nothing is stopping you from asking them to make a toast for you and your darling on your wedding day. Trust us, brother makes the best toast givers! Your brother can speak after your parents’ welcome toast or can even hop in the line behind your maid of honor or the bridal party member or even the best man or the groom's party who will be giving a toast. You can also ask your little or older brother to speak during the rehearsal dinner, or even can treat their toasts as the main event at your morning-after brunch. 

 

A Loveable and Memorable Brother-Sister Dance

Do you remember, Monica and Ross, “Routine Dance” from FRIENDS? Those choreographed moves seriously gave out some sibling dance goals. It seems and feels great to know that every set of siblings has some sort of family dance, whether it is the moves they choreographed as kids or a song you both love to rock out in the kitchen when you all are home for special occasions, like Thanksgiving or Christmas. So, just like Ross and Monica, you can also tune your choices to get plates during the reception and ask your brother to join you in the middle of the dance floor to bust a move and get some sibling dance moment perfectly captured in great frames! 

 

Well, there is no denying that nobody understands, loves, and irritates you better than a sibling. You and your handsome brother share a special and unique bond that spans from a carefree childhood into buddy adulthood. You're able to share laughs over family jokes, awkward adolescent years, and silly arguments of years past. No matter how much you bickered with your brother growing up, he will still mean the world to you-which is why you want him by your side on your big day. As brothers are the best keepers!
