How to organize a bride price in a private home?
A wedding is a wonderful and long-awaited holiday for lovers. The procedure for holding weddings in Russia, including the redemption of the bride, has its roots in antiquity. In Russia, not a single wedding was complete without a ransom. This tradition has survived to this day.
Fundamental rules
This stage of the celebration is one of the most memorable, along with the painting of the young and their wedding. Redemption of the bride from a private house gives free rein to fantasy for its organization. The ransom can be in an elegant classic style or, conversely, mixed with comic contests for guests and the groom, especially since the place of its holding is not limited by a narrow entrance and the annoying attention of disgruntled neighbors.
The ransom of the bride can be prepared by a professional organizer or toastmaster, but bridesmaids will also be able to do this. The only thing is that it is important to remember the basic rules for its implementation.
- The ransom of the bride should set a positive tone for the start of the whole celebration. This part of the wedding provides an opportunity to meet friends and relatives, to arrange everyone's mood for pleasant communication and a festive atmosphere.
- The ransom should be quick so as not to tire the groom and, of course, the guests. It must be remembered that this part of the event is not a streak with obstacles for the future spouse, but mostly the organization of a meeting with the bride. 15-20 minutes will be enough.
- Jokes, jokes and contests should be understandable not only to the main heroes of the occasion, but also to everyone present, so that interest in the holiday process does not fade away.
- You need to decide on a budget for creating decorations and preparing props.
- It is important to choose the person who will "command the parade". If your wedding budget is tight, then a bridesmaid can do the job just fine.
- When planning a buyout in a private house, it is necessary to take into account the time of the year in which the celebration is held.
Ransom decorations
If the young people decide to carry out the ransom, then it should be bright and memorable, and for this, an important part of it is the decoration of the courtyard of a private house and, of course, the house itself.
The territory of any private house is fenced off. From it you can start the decorating process: decorate with balls, flowers, ribbons. The gate can be decorated with a flower arrangement, a doll in the shape of a bride, or a poster indicating that the bride lives in this particular house.
Comic ransom a priori implies unusual, bright and cool decorations.
In this case, the ideas for decorating the place of redemption can be endless: lanterns, fancy figurines, bows and balls that can even be placed on trees.
A garland with photos of the newlyweds will be an excellent decoration technique. She will definitely attract the attention of all participants in the celebration.
Funny posters, cartoons can decorate the walls of a private house. Wall newspapers made by friends' hands with all kinds of applications and drawings will be a great addition to the overall festive atmosphere.
Decorations made of natural or artificial flowers look tenderly and, even without exaggeration, solemnly at a wedding. An arch of them can serve as an excellent basis for a photo zone. And, of course, you must take into account the time of the year of the wedding. Decorations that can be used to decorate a yard in winter can look ridiculous in summer.
In the winter season, flowers can be replaced with fir branches, cones, garlands with snowflakes, and small bright lanterns will create a fairytale atmosphere.
Redemption in a private house provides an excellent opportunity to organize it in a rustic style, therefore, decor with notes of eco-style in colors of yellow and beige tones is perfect.
Possible scenarios
Fairy
The bride must be seated in the gazebo or veranda of the house. But the groom will need a white horse, on which he will rush into the courtyard of the house for his beloved. The whole action is accompanied by beautiful music. The groom should present the wedding bouquet to the bride, and to the girlfriends - symbolic gifts.
It is necessary to organize a buffet table for guests in the gazebo.
After drinking champagne, the young and guests of the holiday go to the official part of the celebration - the painting of the newlyweds.
Rustic
Here, of course, one cannot do without an accordion player and funny wedding ditties.
Bridesmaids should meet the groom at the gate to music with themed amusing sentences and sayings. It is imperative to force the future husband to sing a Russian folk song and dance. And only then let them into the courtyard of the house.
The traditional test for the groom is cutting a log. The newlywed is blocking the path with a log. They give him a saw to cut it and go to the bride.
At this time, the bride can be hidden, and according to the signs, for example, from the towels, he must find her.
Examples of funny and short ditties for bride ransom:
- Here the groom came to us
Oh, what a young one,
So that the bride and groom live together
Right before the wedding gold!
- We are our beauty
We won't let go without money
And if you are rich,
Then we'll run it into the yard.
- And we have a rich groom,
But very economical,
For the bride 100 rubles -
The capital is huge.
- Do not bargain, you girlfriends,
After all, today is not that day!
100 rubles for your fun
And to give is because we are too lazy.
- Darling, you are our fiance
Do not skimp on gifts
After all, our bride will take
Euros, dollars, rubles!
- Happiness to you, more children,
Replenish your country
Rely in our life
You can only go to your wife!
With the gypsies
It will be great if you organize the groom's entrance to the courtyard, where the bride is waiting, on a troika of horses with gypsy men.At the entrance, bright, cheerful gypsies should be expected, led by the host - the "gypsy baron".
The groom needs to have bills and coins with him in order to "gild the handle" of the gypsies. All the fair sex will need to distribute shawls and organize gypsy-style music in the courtyard of the house.
At the entrance, the "gypsy baron" asks why the groom has come, and explains to him that without fortune telling and money, he will not be able to take the bride. The gypsy must tell fortunes to the groom on the cards. To do this, you need to make cards with photographs, one of which will depict the bride. Until the groom finds the card he needs, he must pay the ransom to the gypsies.
Through the door of the room where the bride is waiting, bring out several ends of multi-colored ribbons, each of which is tied to the bridesmaids and the bride herself.
Until the groom pulls out the bride's ribbon, he must pay the ransom.
Bondiada style
Surely everyone watched the movie "Casino Royale". The groom must pass the tests and confirm to everyone that he is no worse than agent 007. The bride is waiting for her liberator in the hands of the bandits.
To pick it up, the groom is tested: shoots a toy pistol before hitting, raises a barbell from balloons, passes a lie detector. The groom on the detector will have to answer short questions about the bride: is it true or not.
To maintain the overall color of the wedding, everyone who takes part in the ransom should be given hats and an appropriate entourage should be created.
In the classic version
In this program, the main components should be rigor and romanticism. As a rule, such a ransom does not imply comic contests. The future parents should meet the groom with his friends. The yard can be decorated in a vintage style using fresh flowers, ribbons in pastel colors. Beautiful classical music must be heard.
The groom should wait for the bride with friends in the decorated area with a wedding bouquet. The bride herself goes to the groom with her bridesmaids along the path lined with rose petals or decorated with beautiful decorations.
