A wedding is a story about a particular couple, their values, personalities and interests. That is why the wedding style should include all these aspects. It doesn't matter what kind of wedding other people had, the most important thing is how the particular bride and groom want to see it. A wedding is a story, and only the couple can decide how best to tell that story.

Imagining your wedding as a beautiful wedding movie

Wedding decorator and organizer Iluta Piternika / MintDeco says that in the past weddings were planned based on traditions. On the other hand, currently couples can design their wedding day by fully listening only to themselves, their wishes and feelings.

"The wedding ceremony can also take place at nine o'clock in the evening at sunset, and no one has the right to criticize this idea. Imagine that the two of you are sitting alone in a cinema hall, watching a beautiful wedding day movie. Close your eyes and feel what is happening in this wedding movie - what emotions are there, what are the people there, what special and touching things are happening there? Define what is most important on your day of love and build the rest of the wedding day around it plan and vision. For someone it is the first meeting, for someone the first waltz in the palace hall, for someone a delicious dinner, and for another a trip by boat," suggests Iluta Piternika.

She also points out that when looking at other couples' wedding photos in various blogs and magazines, the couple can become overloaded with information. "In the vast array of information, it's easy to lose the core of your wedding feeling.

I would wholeheartedly recommend hitting the brakes at some point with Pinterest and other sources. Instead, I recommend that the bride and groom sit down opposite each other, sip a glass of wine and dream and discuss their wedding concept and style."

Structure your desires

After the bride and groom have understood what the overall mood of the wedding might be, it is necessary to structure their wishes. In this way, the further wedding planning process will be facilitated. For example, if a couple wants a classic wedding, then they need to understand whether it will be a modern classic or an ancient classic. If you like both options, it would be better to choose one that will allow you not to overdo it with an abundance of various details.

Likewise, if the couple has chosen, for example, the art deco style, then it is not enough that the bridal dress will be in this style, but it is necessary to think about smaller and larger nuances that would help create the overall story. It should also be understood that when choosing a specific style, something may have to be specially ordered or produced, if it has not been relevant for anyone else so far, therefore additional costs may arise.

The choice of wedding style is quite clear

Liene and Kärlis knew from the very beginning what style of wedding they wanted. They realized that they would not have a typical wedding, but a wedding festival over several days.

"Since we secretly corresponded almost a year before, leaving the most important moment only between us and our witnesses, we were able to plan the social part of this event with a completely different perspective and ease.

The most important detail was the artists we booked a year in advance. We didn't just want background music, but performances and concerts that can be enjoyed in an open-air festival atmosphere.

We treated the wedding feast in the same way - we wanted to provide the guests with the feeling that they can eat when they want, drink what they want at the bar, and ultimately find the most comfortable place to sit in the meadow.

During the wedding celebration, we had the opportunity to swim and warm up at the ball, but the next day we played football together, so everyone could find their favorite activity, and we didn't have to worry about having to follow a specific event program," said Liene and Kārlis.
