Parties and weddings on the sea directions and tips

What direction to choose for a holiday by the sea and how to make a festive menu? Gathered tips for those who want to have a party or wedding celebration to the accompaniment of the sound of sea waves.

Destinations for celebrations at sea

The most popular destinations for weddings and parties on the sea in 2019 are the traditional maritime cities of Europe. Sicily is perfect for bright parties in the suburbs of Palermo, in Porto Cervo in Sardinia, you can have a luxurious beach party, and in Greek Mykonos a pool party with dancing until dawn.

A popular destination for maritime weddings in 2019 is the south of France. Here you can have a great holiday weekend, where a pre-wedding dinner will be prepared by one of the best Michelin chefs, and a luxurious wedding ceremony will be held in a private villa, from the terrace of which you will have an incredible view of the Mediterranean Sea. If you are looking for a platform for a big wedding at sea - take a look at Antibes. The nearby Cannes marina is famous for its luxurious private villas.

The noisiest island in the Mediterranean, Ibiza, is the perfect choice for those who are planning to have a big party for friends in the summer. After a loud party to the music of the best DJs on the planet, you can spend a couple of days on the peaceful north of the island. Enjoy a relaxing weekend at the SPA at Hotel Hacienda Na Ximena in San Miguel. The main local pride is a cascade pool with sea water at the edge of a cliff.

If you are planning a big celebration this summer - take a look at the island of Capri. Suppose there are no big nightclubs, but you can have a private party at one of the villas, lost in the lemon groves. A great place to dine with guests is the Il Riccio Beach Club, which is just a few minutes from the famous Azure Grotto. The local restaurant is a Michelin star owner.

If you want to have a party by the sea, but at the same time appreciate privacy - a party on a private yacht would be an excellent choice. The holiday on the yacht provides a huge scope for fantasy - even the country in which the celebration will take place, you choose for yourself. To add variety, you can have a great swimming and move a few parties to dry land. Plan ahead to stop - and arrange holidays for friends in every major city along the way.

Parties and weddings at the sea: decor, menu and entertainment

The traditional colors for weddings and parties at sea are white and all shades of blue. If you want something original, you can move away from the nautical theme and choose one of the trend styles of this season for decoration of the celebration. For example, the style of boho-chic. Build fabulous tents for guests, furnish them with rattan furniture and decorate them with bouquets of pampas grass, dream catchers and fabrics with bright prints. Or you can move away from the specific style and emphasize the natural beauty of the seashore - light fabrics, light and decorations in pastel shades.

When thinking about the decor of a wedding or a party at the sea, always think about the comfort of guests. If you are planning a ceremony on the beach in the morning, then put a shed where guests can hide from the sun. If you are dreaming about the ceremony on the beach - warn guests about this. Dancing on sand or grass in heels is not very comfortable. Or, with the organizer of the wedding, develop a design with a hard surface for guests to walk in regular shoes.

How to make a menu for a holiday at sea? The latest trend wedding menu - healthy lifestyles. This trend is the best fit to the concept of a wedding at sea. Avoid heavy dishes and focus on fresh vegetables, fruits and seafood dishes. The main thing is to make sure that there are no products in the menu that do not fit together. If a large part of the wedding menu consists of fish and seafood, discard the heavy dessert with butter cream or complex salads. It will be enough to add snacks, vegetable salads with exotic dressings and a separate food bar with fresh fruits and berries.

Do not forget about fun. Yes, the waves of the sea and the white sand themselves create a romantic atmosphere for the guests - but it is better to arrange some additional surprises so that the wedding or party will be remembered for a long time. One of our favorite options for entertainment by the sea is fire shows. People fascinates fire. It is well-established fire shows that usually leave the largest number of bright emotions among the guests.

Cocoon Events Tips for Parties and Seaside Weddings

It's all about the details. Do not assume that the quality of minor things can be sacrificed, if they are not striking. When planning a luxurious wedding or holiday abroad, no detail is too small or unimportant. Everything is important.

Make an impression from the first seconds. The first impressions are the most important, so immediately impress the guests with an impressive start to the celebration. Put a stage at the entrance for music performances or create a path of flowers for the guests to the venue of the ceremony.

Prepare gifts for guests. Prepare for each guest a gift that will remain a useful and pleasant reminder of the day of your wedding. If it is a wedding at the sea, then light silk scarves, bottles with sand and shells or beach bags, on which the initials of the pair will be embroidered, are perfect as gifts.

Wedding Decorations

The Decorations of each wedding is an individual story that reflects the character of the couple. Just as musical works are made up of only seven notes, so the design concepts are created from a combination of individual decorative elements. About the most popular options we will tell today.

Printing: invitations, cards and seating plan, menus and thank you cards. The small printed image boxes underline the overall concept. This is the option when "small spool, yes roads."

Fabrics: tablecloths, napkins, draperies in the decor. Any hostess knows that with just one curtain, you can change the mood in the room. The same situation in the design of the banquet hall. Color, texture and even folds should be chosen perfectly.

Tableware: table setting today is an art. A huge number of elements will allow to pick up glasses, substrates and even forks, perfectly reflecting the idea of ​​decor.

Candles and other sources of light: add a little flicker and comfort will never be over. Garlands of retro bulbs, lamps and candlesticks are sure to play your good service. The main thing is to choose the right design and coordinate all technical issues.

Pillows and blankets: supplement them with a rest and / or registration area. Comfort will appreciate every guest.

Photo of the couple: a banner, a gallery of photos, a garland of Polaroid pictures. Show guests your love story, children's photos, once again remind everyone invited how you treasure them by printing joint photographs - this is a good idea, the main thing is not to overload both guests and the site with extra information.

A table with activities: a book of wishes, souvenirs and / or treats. Any activity should be not only interesting, but also beautiful, fit into the general idea of ​​design.

Flowers: compositions on the guests' tables, presidium, photo zone, registration area. Flowers! Add solemnity and transform any room. Very expensive, especially for large-scale events, but worth it. In addition, there are many options for how to reduce this cost, not a loss in quality and quantity. But we will tell about it in one of the following articles.

Most important wedding to-do list

The most important wedding to-do list is a schematic to-do list that needs to be done during the preparation for the wedding. We often and in many details tell about all the nuances of preparation, but in this article we want to outline in general terms the whole process of preparation. Big is better seen only at a distance.

How to determine the wedding budget?

The budget is the foundation of the whole wedding. Of course, the most magical weddings largely depend largely on good and well-thought-out preparation. You can create a stunning chamber wedding for ten people, or you can make a banquet for two hundred people a huge fiasco. But, no matter how much we want, the budget is what plays a significant role in the preparation.

What does the wedding budget mean? In order to assess your capabilities, you need to roughly calculate how much you are willing / can spend on the most important components of a wedding:

1.       Banquet

2.       Decor

3.       Organizer

4.       Leading

5.       Photo / Video

6.       Show program

7.       The image of the bride and groom

8.       Location for morning fees

9.       Transport (cars for newlyweds, transfer for guests)

Next, consider the format and basic concept. Do you plan to arrange a luxurious banquet for all your friends, or do you prefer to spend this day in the company of your closest ones? Do you need an exit registration?

Be prepared to make compromises. Decide which of the ideas is the most desirable for you. Perhaps, for example, is it worth giving up the same dresses of bridesmaids for the sake of fulfilling a dream to celebrate a wedding in a restaurant on the water? This allocation of priorities will help to quickly adjust the budget to the necessary framework.

Do not forget about the little things! Penny saves the ruble. Of course, 1000 rubles in preparation for the wedding is a drop in the ocean. But even they need to be considered. They can develop in very large sums.

And further! Most often it is cheaper to order a third-party specialist than to do something “out of friendship.” When only working moments connect you with a performer, it is much easier to achieve the desired result.

Come to us for coffee. We will personally discuss all the nuances regarding the budget and begin to create your magic wedding!

For all those who are planning a wedding in 2019, they collected the main trends of the new wedding season.

Decor trends

The Pantone Color Institute named coral the main color of the year. Therefore, this year the demand for decorations of this color is greater than ever. If you are planning a summer wedding, then coral shades will fit perfectly. They can be bright spots of design - or, for example, the color of bridesmaids' dresses.

Another trend that has been held for several years is the bohemian style. Boho style is the spirit of freedom and creativity. The most popular boho-style decorations are colored glasses, handmade carpets, pampas grass and printed fabrics. Also another trend of a wedding decor - feathers will perfectly fit into the boho style. Feathers can be used not only as accessories, but also as a central part of the scenery.

Rattan furniture has taken a special place in the design of weddings. Such furniture is great for outdoor areas, plus due to the neutral color can fit into a large number of different designs. Rattan furniture is perfect for a tropical wedding by the ocean or for an exotic wedding setting in tents in the Sahara Desert.

At the same time, the opposite trend is also developing - the fashion for using cold materials in wedding decorations. Metal elements look particularly good in contrast to the traditional components of a wedding decor - light fabrics and fresh flowers. In addition, transparent elements are in fashion. Anything can be transparent - from furniture and decor to wedding invitations.

Trends of wedding entertainment

The fashion for wedding contests and patterned jokes goes away. Weddings are becoming easier and more relaxed. The new task of the presenter is to maintain the atmosphere without diverting too much attention to himself. In the center of the celebration should always be the newlyweds. In general, there is a Europeanization of weddings - master classes, performances of artists and performances for guests are replacing competitions.

A separate trend of luxury weddings abroad - themed areas. Split the space into several separate zones - they may even differ from each other in style. So you can arrange a variety of entertainment for guests who would otherwise be difficult to fit into one concept. In one zone there can be calm live music, many live flowers and cozy white sofas, and in the other - bright décor and a barman show, where for everyone come up with a personalized cocktail based on his personal tastes.

In addition, weddings turn into a real show - with a change of speakers, a script and several unexpected numbers that amaze guests. We especially love fire shows. The fire has always fascinated people - so nothing will impress the guests of the wedding more than a beautiful fire show. At the same time, not all countries are allowed to hold open fire shows. But, for example, in Morocco there are no problems with this. Desert dinners and spacious gardens provide the perfect backdrop for a vibrant show.

High cuisine and healthy lifestyles

The trend for a healthy lifestyle has gotten to weddings. Now the main goal is not to feed the guests to the dump, but to arrange for them a gastronomic journey with delicious and - most importantly - healthy dishes. Ecologically pure products, sugar-free dishes and culinary experiments come to the fore. In addition, high wedding cuisine is in fashion. For many luxury weddings, an exclusive menu is being developed - the chef creates new dishes inspired by the tastes and love story of the bride and groom.

Another original wedding trend is food bars. These are separate islands with snacks and drinks - a modern alternative to wedding buffets. It is possible to place several separate zones at a celebration - and in each different dishes will be served. Separate stands with snacks, desserts and cocktails. Or arrange a round-the-world trip for guests - and make several zones with cuisines from around the world.

Modern technologies

Modern technologies make it possible to transfer the celebration to a new, even higher level. As an agency of luxury celebrations, we are especially pleased to be able to create a concept using a 3D plan. This really facilitates the work and helps to avoid misunderstandings while planning the decor. Another very useful technology for celebrations is wireless sound and light. These systems make it possible to minimize the amount of equipment on the site.

Another useful technology that is often used at weddings is different types of light. Achievements in the field of holiday lighting allow you to visually change the space several times a night. Dynamic intelligent light will help create an atmosphere and mood for guests. In addition, you can use light effects - rain of stars, the effect of the Milky Way, the names of the newlyweds and phrases from lasers. Such effects help to emphasize the emotionality of important moments.

An important part in modern celebrations is played by the Internet and social networks. Chats are created for guests, online broadcasts and entire websites dedicated to the wedding - now you can get access to all the information and photos in a couple of clicks. Many even print invitations on QR codes that are automatically transferred to the website or the desired application.

Main trend: individuality

Gone are the days when weddings were stamped according to the standard scenario - changing only the names on the invitations. Today, the trend of creating these exclusive works of art, inspired by the history of each pair. As a result, each new wedding is not like the others - because there are no two identical love stories.

How to add a wedding personality? Build a concept around the stages of your relationship. Let the guests plunge into a journey through your story during the wedding - from dating to the wedding day. This can be achieved with the help of decor, thematic zones, telling about a certain stage of relations, or a built-up scenario of representations. You can also choose an unusual location for the wedding. Why stop at a restaurant if the spirit of adventure and a wedding in the Moroccan desert is closer to you? You can realize any fantasy.

When a new couple comes to Cocoon Events, the first meeting we just listen to them enthusiastically - we will learn everything about their history and the tastes of the bride and groom. And only then, inspired by this story, we come up with a script for a wedding celebration. Dreams, plans and stories of the couple are reflected in the overall scenario, and in the smallest elements of decor - from decorations to dishes on the menu. So we manage to create a truly unique wedding.

All the details of organizing a bachelor party abroad

The last party as an unmarried girl should be no less fun and memorable than the wedding itself. The ideas for organizing a bachelor party are incredibly many. You can go with your friends to the SPA-salon or restaurant, arrange a theme party or go to the club. But there is a more interesting option - to spend a hen party abroad! Make it much easier than it seems, and now you see for yourself.

Planning a budget

Those times when only very wealthy people could afford to travel abroad were in the past. Modern airlines and travel agencies are so generous that sometimes a ticket to warm countries costs even less than having dinner at a restaurant. The main thing is to choose the dates of your trip in advance and carefully monitor the price changes.

There can be several travel payment options:

The latter option is ideal for cases where girlfriends do not know what to present to the bride for the wedding. Such a surprise will undoubtedly be remembered for a lifetime, and certainly will bring more positive emotions than a table set or a washing machine.

When planning expenses, consider the cost of tickets, accommodation, food, entertainment. And do not forget about possible unexpected expenses.

Choosing a place

When choosing a place for organizing a bachelor party abroad, be guided primarily by the preferences of the bride. For example, if a girl is crazy about the beauty of the mountains and skiing or snowboarding, go to year-round ski resorts in France, Austria, Switzerland or Finland.

It will appeal even to those who are completely unfamiliar with this kind of outdoor activities. Or you can choose a win-win option - go to the endless sea (ocean), gentle sunshine and palm trees. Then look for tickets to Spain, Italy, Thailand, Turkey or Greece.

An equally successful option is to give yourself a week of shopping in Milan, the UAE, New York, Paris, Hong Kong or Seoul. Or arrange a bachelor party as in the legendary "Sex and the City" and go to Morocco.

The whole world is open for you! Feel free to choose a point on the map and start packing your bags.

Come up with entertainment

The entertainment program of a bachelor party directly depends on the venue of the event. For example, if you are going to the sea, you can arrange a beach party with a photo shoot in the same swimsuit for bridesmaids. Or rent a yacht. A perfect addition to the image can be a cap with the words “Bride” and “bridesmaid's”.

If you find yourself in Europe, we recommend visiting the world's best SPA resorts. In eastern countries, you can take a variety of master classes in traditional art forms, for example, dancing. Or arrange a gastronomic tour, but the main thing is not to lose shape! Simple, versatile and very symbolic entertainment at the bachelor party will be “launching a maiden name” on balloons. Or you can make a huge engagement ring (also air) as a symbol of the event.

We take into account the details

In order for your bachelor party abroad to be perfect, without any force mature, it is important to think through all the nuances in advance. Check if everyone has a valid international passport, book tickets, learn the rules of baggage transportation. Assign a date for your trip as soon as possible and postpone important matters

If possible, do not give up carrying a bachelor party abroad. Such a trip will bring you great pleasure and allow you to truly relax and tune in before the wedding!

Star wedding performers

A wedding is always the most long-awaited day in the life of any bride, and that is why he must certainly become extraordinary and memorable. On this day, dreams should be fulfilled, even if this dream is about a star from the sky or just a star of the world scene ...

Today it is very fashionable to invite celebrities to private events. At the same time, the “star” has long been understood as not just a popular singer of hits, but also well-known presenters, top DJs, participants of television show or people from the world of cinema.

And here I want to make a reservation right away that even if the wedding budget allows you to not deny yourself anything by making a real “star fall”, it is still better to decide on the basic desire and let the newlyweds shine at the wedding.

But about the difficulties that await you in organizing the performances of the artist, and what to envisage without fail, we will tell in our article.

Household and Technical Rider

Firstly, each popular artist has an individual household and technical rider, in which there are strict requirements for implementation, and sometimes very non-standard ones. Technical rider includes sound, light, stage software parameters, which are mandatory. Separately, the requirements of the domestic nature, including the state of the dressing room, delivery to the banquet place and others. If the organizers of the celebration fail to fulfill the conditions of the star, then the performer has the full right to refuse to perform and not to pay damages to the customer.

Therefore, it is recommended to study the technical rider of the artist very carefully and in advance. Help in the selection of the necessary equipment will be able to employees of the company that provides sound rental. It is important not to try to save money by choosing a sound equipment rental company with low prices. We recommend dealing exclusively with proven companies whose reputation is impeccable.

It should be borne in mind that the connection of equipment is carried out, as a rule, 3-6 hours before the event. It is mandatory to conduct initial testing of the equipment, and then a sound check, in which musicians take part.

If the scenario of the star’s performance involves visual effects, then lasers and smoke machines, soap bubble generators, snow, foam, fire simulators, and other equipment may be needed.

Artist's Fee

In addition to the fact that the size of the star's reward is very high, it is also non-permanent. The Executive Manager will call the exact amount of remuneration only after a lengthy conversation with the customer.

There are numerous factors that can significantly change the size of the fee:

1 season. During the holidays, the cost of performance of the artist can double.

2. The location of the venue for the performance. If the artist will have to make a long trip to perform at the wedding, it is likely that the amount of the fee will increase.

3. The number of staff. In addition to the star itself, the musicians, backing vocal group, dance group can take part in the concert. The performer is often lucky with a costumer, makeup artist, personal protection. Of course, all these people will have to pay for tickets, food and accommodation.

4. Factors associated with the activities of the star itself. The price of the performance may vary depending on the release of the artist’s clips on TV, the current rotation of songs on the radio, the frequency of the tour.

Discussion of Repertoire

With the artist you should definitely discuss in advance the repertoire, which will sound at the wedding banquet, that not only to avoid surprises, but also to observe a single concept of celebration.

Preparation of The Site for Performance

In most cases, the preparation of the venue for the performance falls on the shoulders of the host country. If your wedding is organized by an event agency, then all responsibility will fall on the management team and you need not worry about anything. If the bride and groom order the show on their own, then they will have to engage in the rental of sound equipment on their own.

Separately, pay attention to the requirements for the dressing room. In the immediate vicinity of the scene should be a dressing room - a room equipped with mirrors, lamps, chairs, tables, sockets for connecting a kettle, hairdryer, curling iron and other appliances. In most cases, performers want to get a room that would be locked with a key.

However, if it is impossible to equip a room next to the stage under the dressing room, then some artists are ready to seek a compromise.

In addition to the minimum requirements for the dressing room, the rider can be spelled out specific requirements: a separate dressing room for the leader of the musical group, the presence of a shower, food and beverages of a certain manufacturer.

Safety Stars

Almost all star rider includes a clause on the need to ensure the safety of the performer during a concert and stay in a foreign city. To fulfill this requirement, the organizers can contact one of the departmental organizations or hire a chop.

The guards will not only have to prevent any conflict situations, but also carry out a set of security measures.

Additional Star Requirements

The price of pleasure to see at their own wedding stars often increases due to the special requirements of artists. So, the performers may need the services of porters, make-up artist, etc.

If your desire to see your favorite artist at your event after reading is still strong, then we will continue. The popular artists and musicians have an extremely tight schedule of performances - it is advisable to inform the agency in advance of the date of the celebration, venue, number of guests, etc.

If you decide to invite a foreign star, then it is cheaper to invite an artist when he is on tour in our country. However, it will be quite difficult to agree on the date of the wedding and the expected arrival of the star. It should also be noted that recently Russia has tightened the rules for organizing concerts of foreign performers, which have been equated with guest workers. To enter the artist from abroad will need a work visa, the design of which is troublesome and time consuming.

Nevertheless, all these “tests” are worthy to pass, because a well-organized performance of the artist at the wedding can become one of the decorations of the holiday, make it unforgettable and bright.

Wedding planning start

None of us is born with the thought "Oh, what will be my wedding." We study, work, dream, hang out with girlfriends, discuss gossip, read books and think we don’t think that in a moment He will present a ring and life will change a lot in the near future. There are only two options for the development of events:

1. You have always dreamed of a wedding, you are aware of all the latest trends and know in your heart that you are the Queen of the Ball.

2. You consider all this at least as tinsel and petty-bourgeois and you are smart, educated, with a bright, feminist agenda in history, just ashamed to try on the image of an alien and ridiculous girl.

Whatever type you are, I would like to draw attention to the fact that the desire for a good holiday is inherent in all of us. For someone, this is a magnificent wedding with many guests, for someone a quiet cozy evening in the circle of the closest, and there are those who will be happy to run away together to the ends of the earth. But as you know everything needs good preparation and careful organization.

1. Start with the fact that you can not change - the wedding date. Carefully analyze the pros and cons of the season, month and day of the week. Keep in mind that if you choose the most popular dates - the second and third Saturday of July, the first two Saturdays of August and all dates with repeated numbers and even more so on Saturday  - are very popular and you should hurry with booking sites, leading and photographers.

2. Place for a wedding. If we say that I would like to arrange a holiday and register abroad, then it is necessary to lay about 1.5-2 months to issue the necessary documents. (Later we will discuss how to do it yourself or find honest and adequate counter parties). If the dream of a wedding abroad on a popular and luxurious site, then most likely, you are already a little late. These sites are best booked for the year.

3. Start dreaming and present in details which one you would like to see your wedding. Pay attention to the nuances of a thousand small things in the end will form the perfect canvas of your celebration.

4. Preliminary for yourself designate the budget of the wedding, later we will touch upon how best to approach this issue.

5. Guests. Think about the guests. Who they are and whether they are, how old they are and whether you want to take into account the interests of the guests or you would like to focus only on your ideas about how things should go

Follow the publication, we promise to reveal the entire mechanism of preparation for the wedding.

Wedding concept where to begin

Start preparing for the holiday of your dreams is a simple reflection on the topic "and what we still want." I do not use "we" for nothing, it is a holiday for both of you, and here your opinion on the concept should be one. 

So advice: discuss with the groom how you see your wedding. 

Try to answer a series of questions: 

1. Is your ideal wedding in Russia or abroad? 
2. Are you two, only with relatives, only with friends, or is it a big holiday with a magnificent ceremony and many guests? 
3. Do you prefer a conceptual wedding with large decorations, thoughtful details, designed in a strictly defined style? 
4. You are ready to experiment, do not want like everyone else and this is a holiday for you two?
5. Would you like photos of your wedding to be an inspiration for other couples and appear in one of the wedding magazines? 

Answering these questions you will eventually come to the conclusion about the scale of the holiday that you want. Then we will need to think and calculate the budget of what you dream. 

I would like to emphasize that not every picture that you see in wedding blogs is part of a large multi-million project. Very often, your atmosphere is really spelled with much lighter strokes

Wedding at Etna

One of the creative ideas for your celebration can be the organization of a ceremony on ... Etna! Among the lunar craters and with an incredible panorama at an altitude of more than 2000 meters!

Sicilia Bedda Events shares the most interesting facts about this magnificent volcano:

1.       Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe - 3,340 meters above sea level.

2.       On its slopes, at the beginning, you will see vineyards, olive and nut groves, then forests of oak and chestnut, and how lava flows together, pines, larch and birch coexist. By the way, somewhere in the middle of the road to the top, nature is very similar to the middle zone of Russia.

3.       You can climb to a height of 2,300 meters by cable car, then up to 2,900 by jeep. On foot it is rather heavy, since the air is discharged, and to go long enough.

4.       The temperature difference between the "bottom" and "top" can reach 20 degrees.

5.       The age of Etna is about 600,000 years old! The area of ​​the territory is 1,190 square meters. km, and the perimeter of the base - 140 square meters. km

6.       There are about 400 craters on the volcano. On average, the eruption of lava from different craters occurs every three months.

7.       Etna is always active and does not save all her power in herself, therefore she is not as dangerous as many consider. Places say when they look at white smoke from the top: “Etna fuma” (Etna smokes). If the smoke is red, then an eruption is near. In clear weather from many Sicilian towns can be seen as the lava slowly goes down.

8.       On the slopes of Etna you will see many areas of agritourism, where you can eat very tasty and stay for the night. There are also many wineries where you can have lunch and taste Sicilian wines or organize your holiday!

9.       And lastly a secret: few tourists know that you can take a ride on the Circumetnea train around Etna. The railway that connects the towns around the volcano is called “Ferrovia Circumetnea” (Railway Etnok). Usually this is just one old trailer, which in three hours will rush you around to show stunning panoramas and small towns. Romantic, right?

Retro Wedding Decor

Would you like to organize a vintage wedding? Many couples prefer a wedding in Italy in the retro style of the 20s or 50s of the last century. If this idea is to your liking, it is worth highlighting a lot of details when creating a celebration, so that they remind of the chosen theme. This is, of course: a wedding dress with appropriate accessories, a groom's suit, a retro car for the newlyweds, floral elements of the bride's bouquet and the decor of the wedding venue. One of the very original and interesting details in the design of the celebration can be a buffet of sweets.

Let's start with the table top. In order to get a more original effect, instead of the classic table, you can choose pieces of furniture that are intended for other uses. For example, a white closet with glass doors in retro style or the famous carriage with ice cream or Sicilian granite. Only 50 years ago such carriages with sweets could be seen on all the streets of Sicily. And now - this is a great idea to create a buffet with sweets for a vintage wedding. Ornaments can be fruit: oranges and lemons. The visual effect will certainly surprise all those invited! Finally, if you don’t like white, you can always choose antique tables or bedside tables in the natural color of wood.

Now you can think about the items that will be used to decorate the entire buffet. Vintage itself is a very cozy and informal style that can cover various types of elements. For this occasion, glass jars can be used as a beautiful candlestick, or which can be filled with colored pebbles or flower petals. In addition, you can decorate the buffet with lanterns. And finally, the picture is completed with elegant white cakes and cupcakes.

For a wedding with a vintage touch, cakes of a wide variety of tastes are ideal: for example, apple strudel, chocolate or vanilla cake. For those who love sweets, prepare delicious cups containing mousse in different flavors, decorated with fruit or cream.

Have you already thought about a sweet wedding buffet?

Wedding on the coast of Chennai - a dream or a reality?

Wedding, birthday or any special holiday on the beach is not a dream, but a reality!

Wedding Aaha will help you choose an exclusive place by the sea, where you and your guests will spend an unforgettable time in a romantic and secluded atmosphere.

For a ceremony on the beach, a more suitable time is, of course, an evening when you can enjoy the beauty of the sunset and the sun sinking beyond the horizon.

The most exciting and touching moment is undoubtedly the exchange of rings and promises between the bride and groom.

The noise of the waves and the light breeze will help to decorate the selected music: a guest musician or a favorite romantic soundtrack during the ceremony itself, and a selected playlist during dinner. And then you can arrange real dances in the company of incendiary Chennai musicians!

For decoration of the ceremony and dinner zones, you can choose stretch structures, elegant white tables, or have a real picnic on the pillows.

For example, the last option can be safely planned from May to the end of September, the time of year when the rain on Sicily is practically an anomaly. And when there is a small chance of rain, your allies will be beautiful gazebos on the beach.

Beach parties most often imply a looser dress code for guests. You can, for example, choose the main colors of the celebration, or theme, and in the invitations to write guests about the wishes for the choice of clothes. Of course, you should think about comfortable shoes. But if the area is equipped with wooden walkways, then elegant high heel shoes will also be an excellent choice.

Together we can think about gifts for guests!

How do you find an interesting idea - to organize a small corner with hats for ladies and Chennai men's Coppola caps? And for fun, you can organize a mini master class in drawing, and each participant of the celebration will be able to portray the seascape and take back his creation from memory.

Wedding in Sicily

The key to understanding Sicily is tradition!

The traditions and customs that are passed down from generation to generation in Sicily are unparalleled, because deeply honored on this earth and in our modern time. Wedding day is a unique day, including to gather around you many relatives and friends.

Earlier in Sicily, as in many other places, they were married much earlier, at about 18 years of age. Most of the women before marriage were always under the supervision of the family, older brothers and sisters and parents, most often they were at home, where they were engaged in any craft. Many girls dreamed of getting rid of such a conclusion and supervision as soon as possible, and therefore were looking forward to finally meet their prince. In order to quickly fulfill their desire and find out what the future husband would be, they did various ceremonies: they put three beans under the pillow, one peeled, one in the peel and one half peeled. Waking up, the future bride got at random one of the beans. In the peel - meant that she would marry a rich man, half-purified - of the middle class, and completely without the peel - poor.

In order to ask for the hand of her future bride, the young man came to her father, and after reaching an agreement with her mother, a whole list of the dowry was made, which she had to give to her daughter. During the week this dowry was exhibited in the house so that all relatives could admire it. There is still a custom, when relatives and friends come to visit some time before the wedding and all together arrange a real holiday: with songs, dances and music, a photo session, and then dinner, they collect the bride and her things for future family life. And if the parents were against the wedding of a young couple, the lovers made an escape and friends usually helped them with this.

Another tradition in Sicily is the preparation of the bed for the newlyweds. A few days before the wedding, friends and sisters of the bride, among whom an unmarried girl must be, come to the spouses' house to make the bed, usually with a set and linen or silk cover. The bed should be covered by an unmarried girl under supervision, as a rule, to a mother, a woman who conveys wisdom and experience. And between the sheets put money, confetti, grains and rice - symbols of wealth and joy.

After the date of the wedding is chosen, all expenses are evenly divided between the parents of the bride and the future husband: the bride’s family buys the bedroom and living room, everything necessary for the kitchen, the wedding dress and invitations from the bride. For the future husband-house, part of the wedding expenses: a photographer, a florist and a honeymoon trip.
In Sicily, it is also considered a bad omen if the groom sees the wedding dress before the wedding and is usually kept with relatives or friends who deliver it on their wedding day and help the bride get dressed.

There are two wedding bouquets for the bride: one gift from parents for making, a photo session in the house of the bride, and the second for a wedding as a gift from the groom.
In Sicily, the bridegroom is waiting for the bride not at the altar, but in the center of the aisle. The future husband enters the church shortly before the bride arrives, accompanied by both parents. Soon after, the bride comes, under the arm of the father and next to the mother. Two families meet in the middle of the aisle, the groom kisses the bride on the forehead, gives her a bouquet, and all together go to the altar.
At the exit from the church, newlyweds throw rice, rose petals, and then luxury cars, decorated with balloons, arrive.
After the celebration, the newlyweds escorted guests, standing at a large table with gifts. In Sicily, it is customary to give gifts not only to the husband and wife, but also to their guests.

How to start organizing a wedding?

Many have a question, to hold a celebration in your city or choose a trip, for example, to Italy? On the one hand, you can be sure that choosing Italy, the wedding will be bright, unusual and remembered by all guests. You will combine a wonderful holiday with a celebration and realize, perhaps, an old dream - to get married in this sunny country! But on the other hand, you might think that not all guests and relatives can join the trip. Or that this venture will eventually be more expensive under the budget. And someone just does not know who to turn to for help in the organization and fears that he will not be able to control the whole process.

Let's go over these doubts.

It often happens that not all guests can go on a trip to share with you this special holiday, especially because of the short time in preparation. But, if you invite guests in advance, they can plan their holidays and weekends, as well as their budget. After all, who would not want to spend an unforgettable vacation in Italy! And all the more dedicated to such an important event. Often the newlyweds offer to pay for their stay, or they tell guests that the best gift will be their presence at the festival. The second solution to this issue may be a chamber symbolic wedding in Italy. That is, you will have two holidays! You can organize a celebration for all guests in your city, and then a symbolic ceremony and dinner in a small company abroad. And you will combine your wedding abroad with travel and honeymoon!

Most often, organizing a wedding abroad costs the newlyweds no more than a wedding in their homeland. In addition, if you ask for help from a wedding agency, many services will be cheaper because of partnership agreements between the companies. Your party organizer will always control the entire process, step by step, creating your holiday, always staying in touch with you. You can be calm, as you will know every detail of the process.
