What to change first
- The names, roles and lines, and each circle's initial.
- The side headers. Add or remove a person by duplicating or deleting a row group inside a side.
- The flower girl, or delete that group if there is no one to stand there.
The signature moment
The two sides face each other across an aisle
A hairline runs down the centre; each person is a row with an initial in a drawn circle toward the aisle and the words away from it. On the left side the words are right-aligned and the circle sits at the row's right end; on the right side the circle comes first. The flower girl stands alone, centred, under a rule beneath both sides.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives
Overview
The wedding party, set out the way they stand on the day: two sides facing each other across the aisle. It sits in the team section beside team-roster (a face at line size, one list), team-founders-diptych (two equal founders) and team-oval-portraits. None of those mirrors two groups on a centre line, and this one uses no photographs of people at all: each person is set as type.
The signature moment: the two sides face each other across an aisle
A hairline runs down the centre; each person is a row with an initial in a drawn circle toward the aisle and the words away from it. On the left side the words are right-aligned and the circle sits at the row's right end; on the right side the circle comes first. The flower girl stands alone, centred, under a rule beneath both sides.
On a phone the columns stack under their headers ("Nell's side", "Sam's side") and the aisle line disappears (it is the border of an empty column, which stacks to no height). The left side keeps its mirror: right-aligned words, circle on the right, so the two sides still read as facing. Flex order cannot flip at a breakpoint; looked at 390px wide, the mirrored rows read cleanly, so they stay.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
What it inherits from your theme
- Typeface. The base states no font family.
- Palette. An inversion: your
contrastground withbasetext, labels, circles and rules, so it reads as a slab in any theme.
What it decides for itself
- The circles. 3.5rem rings drawn with a 1px border and a 50% radius, each holding one italic initial. They are type, not pictures.
- The names. 1.375rem, off the ladder, so seven names read as a list and not as seven headings.

The Vow look
Part of the Vow Pattern Set, a couple's whole wedding website in one design language: wisteria white ground #f7f5fb, a wisteria band #ebe6f3, card white #ffffff and a midnight slab #1f2240; midnight ink, dusk #555a78 for secondary copy, peony #a8365a labels on light grounds and pale peony #f2b8c9 on the slab, wisteria hairlines #d9d3e6. Headings and names are Didot at 400 (Bodoni MT, Hoefler Text, Baskerville, Times New Roman, serif), body, labels and buttons Gill Sans (Seravek, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif). Cards and buttons are square; the primary button is a filled midnight rectangle, the secondary an underlined peony link. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip.
Notes
- Core blocks only: group, columns, column, heading, paragraph. No plugin, nothing to keep updated.
- No image blocks: the people are names, roles and initials.
Questions
Team wedding party aisle: common questions
Does Team wedding party aisle need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (column, columns, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Team wedding party aisle match my theme?
Choose by variation. Across the aisle takes your theme’s palette; Vow brings its own colours.
How many variations does Team wedding party aisle have?
2: Across the aisle and Vow. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Is Team wedding party aisle free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
Which WordPress version does it need?
Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
