Original wedding ideas
Modern weddings are increasingly deviating from the accepted standards; today they are bright and memorable events. Most newlyweds give up boring gatherings with the usual contests and entertainment - they were replaced by creative events, stylish decor, new, bold, and at the same time touching traditions.
Wedding in a narrow circle
Weddings with a wide circle of friends and relatives are a thing of the past long ago; many brides and grooms prefer intimate events, in a small circle with their parents and closest friends. More and more often, families are organizing an economy celebration in order to immediately go on a romantic trip for two. But even such an event can be made interesting and undoubtedly touching. Consider a few wedding ideas that will not require you to invest heavily in money.
A holiday in nature
It is known that the overwhelming part of the wedding budget is sometimes "eaten up" by the rent of a banquet hall, which is why an open-air ceremony will significantly reduce the overall cost of the holiday. If you plan to invite no more than 10-15 guests or stay alone, then you can choose options such as a party in the country or a picnic in nature. In the first case, you can organize a celebration in a romantic style, and in the second, you should dwell on the eco-theme.
Themed wedding
Many people don't even suspect that a themed wedding is actually quite a profitable event. There are some concepts that do not require a lot of investment. For example, a rustic wedding is a great option for a budget celebration.All you need are large wooden tables that you can put together from inexpensive boards with your own hands and put in the yard or in a pretty forest clearing. It makes sense to hang garlands on the trees and make the simplest decor using materials such as burlap and old newspapers.
In this case, they usually put vases with wildflowers on the tables and complement the decor with compositions of fruits and vegetables. It is not at all necessary to dress in Russian folk costumes - a kokoshnik and a sundress can be safely left in the store. The usual white linen dress and flowers in the hair will harmoniously fit into this style.
Wedding breakfast
Yes, yes, you heard right. Arrange your holiday not in the evening, but in the morning. By the way, this idea is gaining more and more popularity in big cities. As a rule, banquets held in the morning and afternoon hours are much cheaper - at this time of day, rent, menu, and the host's services will not "hit" the wallet too much.
Celebration at the museum
Surely in every city there are small cozy museums or botanical gardens, which are happy to provide their halls and courtyards for ceremonial marriage registrations. Such locations in the old noble style create an incredible atmosphere of immersion in antiquity, give weddings a touch of aristocracy and grandeur, while the price tag for such services is usually very democratic.
Ideas for a magnificent ceremony
For a magnificent wedding, there are also many interesting and non-trivial ideas for organizing a wedding banquet. Usually, in this case, the emphasis is on wedding decor and creating a special atmosphere. Let's consider the most stylish techniques for beautiful and expensive ceremonies.
Construction of a wedding arch
This option is optimal for off-site registrations. In this case, the ceremony is held outdoors, and the arch is decorated with roses. Shrubs and trees are hung with bright ribbons and flickering decorations, candles and lanterns.
Photo booth
This is a trendy and quite stylish entertainment that will help fill in the pauses that arise during a gala event. Surely absolutely all guests will look into the photo booth, because it is incredibly fun, and, of course, each of them will have images as a keepsake, which can then be used to design a book of wishes for the young. Some booths are designed in such a way that a projection of photographs appears above the dance floor - this is a very unusual way to illuminate the hall, and also such an idea is fun and non-trivial.
Drapery
This boring name hides a technique that can completely transform a hall or street where registration takes place in a matter of minutes. This is a rather expensive part, but it is definitely worth the money spent on it. Stylists advise draping stair flights with white or red material - thus, the passage to the banquet site will be solemn and ceremonial.
Lounge zone
It is imperative to equip an area where guests can communicate during small dance breaks. It is worthwhile to think over all the nuances in advance: arrange cozy chairs, tables and other pieces of furniture, put pillows, decorate the atmosphere with flower wreaths and vases with bouquets. It also makes sense to serve light drinks and snacks. You can go further and even achieve a wow effect. For this, the resting place is closed with a curtain and special lighting is selected.
There are a few more little things that will turn a magnificent wedding into a real work of art.
- Boutonniere bar. You can prepare a small surprise for loved ones - let a stand with small boutonnieres await them near the entrance, which they must attach to their clothes. This will add a unique charm and charm to the atmosphere of the event.
- Favorite pet. Surely many newlyweds have favorite pets - cats or dogs.If the animal is well trained, then it can be entrusted with an important matter, for example, it can take out the sign "The bride is coming" before the young woman leaves for the wedding ceremony. This is a very unusual and touching idea, however, if you are not sure that the dog will be able to "adequately" leave, then it is better not to start such a performance.
- Tattoo bar. If you have a youth wedding, then you can equip a small area where everyone will get a temporary tattoo. Only one condition is recommended here - the picture should be directly related to the theme of your event. Let it be a date or a phrase from the series "the best day", or maybe someone even wants to fill in cool images of young people - the imagination here is almost unlimited.
- Boom zone. This is also a very entertaining entertainment that will undoubtedly delight guests: a large stand with inflated balloons for popping. This idea will especially appeal to children, who are often among the invitees and, as a rule, are bored.
- The tale of the young. This is another entertainment for the youngest guests of the holiday. You can prepare a small coloring for them - pictures depicting the story of your incredible love with you as the main characters.
- Book for recommendations. This is a traditional attribute of any wedding, but nothing prevents you from making it more stylish. Let it be a mailbox in which everyone can throw their congratulations or a typewriter, where anyone can type warm words. A good idea would be a plate where the invitees can write whatever they would like to say to the young.
In recent years, such a custom as the dance of the young has become very popular. Usually the spouses rehearse it in advance with specially invited choreographers. Such a beginning of the holiday always looks elegant and aristocratic. In order for the dance to be as beautiful as possible, you should choose a sensual melody that will evoke the best associations in both. However, it is quite possible to make a cut of several tracks in a wide variety of styles - from polonaise to incredible passionate tango. And to be more original, you can accompany the performance not with the usual delicate rose petals, but, for example, with soap bubbles or fancy confetti falling from the ceiling. Bengal fireworks will also be quite solemn - such special effects always cause genuine delight among others.
Remember that when planning a magnificent wedding, you need to pay special attention to detail, absolutely everything must be perfect, only in this case your wedding will be taken as a standard and a role model.
Theme party options
If you want your wedding to be truly creative and original, then you should arrange a themed celebration. Let's dwell on the most popular ideas for such an event.
Game of Thrones
One of the most watched TV shows in the world gives you tons of wedding party ideas. When else, if not on this holiday, young people and their guests can plunge into the medieval atmosphere and feel like one of the representatives of the Seven Kingdoms. At the same time, make-up and hairstyle should not be particularly bright, everything must fully correspond to the atmosphere of that period. The bride can complement her outfit with massive pendants, as well as a crown, a stylish cape with a hood, but a fur cape will suit the groom to appear in front of his guests in the form of Jon Snow.
Chicago
The style of America of the 30s of the last century is very often used at theme parties. Young appear in the guise of a mafioso from the time of Al Capone. It is quite simple to choose an outfit here: defiant make-up, a bright openwork bandage on the forehead decorated with feathers, a dress with beads, sequins and rhinestones, and now the bride already looks like the beloved of the respected Don, and he himself appears before the guests in an impeccable three-piece suit, and definitely wearing a gangster hat.
Hobby
If the young have some common hobby, it will be very original if it is reflected in the wedding event itself. For example, at the wedding of bikers, a motorbike cortege is good; for divers, you can offer a thematic photo session under water in an exotic place.The procedure for exchanging rings in a balloon looks very mesmerizing - there the spouses can both register themselves and go on a trip. By the way, this fully reflects the common saying about the fact that marriages are made in heaven.
Venice Carnival
This is a very stylish idea for a wedding celebration: all guests must be given stylized masks, and the ladies are also given fans. The holiday itself should be replete with fireworks and confetti explosions. By the way, at the end of the event, you can arrange a fun competition for removing masks, for sure such a party will remain in the memory of relatives and friends of the young spouses for a long time.
Organization of celebrations depending on the season
Each season has its own characteristics that must be taken into account when planning.
In winter
When organizing a winter celebration, New Year's, as well as Christmas, ethnic or fairy-tale stylistics are most often used. The Christmas and New Year theme assumes an abundance of glitter, red-green decor and, of course, tinsel. Weddings in the Russian style are no less popular, while quite often they arrange a photo session in a snow-covered forest against the background of a wood-burning hut with an obligatory smoking samovar, ruddy bagels, earflaps and nesting dolls.
But the most popular winter idea, without a doubt, is a winter fairy tale, here the bride resembles the Snow Queen or a princess, her image can be complemented by a crown, a horse-drawn carriage. It will be very appropriate to have their own fairy tale story, which the young will play in front of their guests. In winter, you can arrange a lot of different entertainment:
- rent a skating rink for those invited;
- play snowballs with a team of groom representatives against a team of a young bride;
- take a snow fortress in which a young woman is hiding;
- take a ride in a carriage decorated with bells.
All of these games can be a great alternative to the usual walk around the city.
Summer
In the summer, you can implement almost any wedding idea. Warm weather, a riot of colors and sunshine provide plenty of room for the imagination. In summer, outdoor holidays are very popular, for this you can choose a cozy forest clearing, the shore of a picturesque reservoir or the top of a mountain - do not be afraid to invent something non-standard and new. Here are just a few summer wedding ideas:
- berry festival - here fruits and berries become not so much a treat as a part of the decor of the room;
- ceremony in nautical style;
- a ceremony on the roof of a multi-storey building overlooking the city;
- holiday in the village;
- picnic in a forest clearing.
Greek-style celebrations are no less popular - the beach is the best place for them.
In the spring
Spring is a wonderful time when nature awakens, and dull gray cities and villages transform before our eyes and become bright, juicy and lively. This is why spring weddings tend to focus on color. Ombre becomes a very stylish solution in the decor of the table and the entire wedding room. In spring, eco-weddings are often held, when the menu includes a lot of fresh fruits, and the sweet table is replaced with berry ones. And, of course, in the spring you can add the decor with such touching details as cages with birds and fluttering butterflies. You can order them at any specialized agency.
In autumn
Autumn is an unusually beautiful time of the year, which has its own special atmosphere and charm in its charm. Moreover, beauty can be seen in the golden decoration of trees, and in leaden clouds, and even in drops of rain dripping from the sky. Banquets at this time are especially cozy and warm, and to make them even more romantic, you can make some stylish accents, for example, decorate the banquet hall with fruit compositions, vases with ears of wheat, decorative branches and dried flowers.
During this period, Russian folk weddings are often held, but pumpkin parties are really creative and stylish. Here this vegetable becomes the main decoration of the event: pumpkin vases, small pumpkins in a young bouquet, a photo zone with pumpkins are in demand. Even small vegetables can be used instead of a special ring pad.
