4 INFINITY CREATIONS by Dace Danga•Guoba

Wedding for two - an opportunity for a flexible scenario and spontaneity

If a couple chooses to spend their wedding day alone, they can adapt to their feelings and moods at that moment. As Dace sees it, it is an opportunity to let go and experience the wedding day intuitively. No stress because there's nothing to catch up on. this wedding concept is suitable for couples whose everyday life involves careful planning, because, for a change, they can indulge and not plan. Also, this concept is also suitable for couples for whom everyday life is unpredictable and there is no time left for themselves. In that case, their wedding day together can be completely planned for themselves.

In addition, such a wedding for two can remove the psycho-emotional burden that could arise if you had to spend the wedding day among the guests, think not only about your well-being, but also their well-being and follow the day's plan.

the biggest advantage of such a wedding concept is that the scenario of the day is very liberating and provides a lot of room for maneuvers, improvisation and spontaneity. It is possible to change locations and even go on a trip immediately after the wedding ceremony. Here, however, Dace recommends planning the time between the ceremony and the flight, so that there is no need to rush anywhere and you can indulge in the emotions that prevail after marriage.

When choosing to spend the wedding day as a couple, it is necessary to decide whether you will really be alone, or whether some service providers will be involved. If you do not foresee support persons, wedding organizers and others involved on the wedding day, then it is a responsible task - to coordinate the background processes so that everything goes smoothly and smoothly. there will certainly be such practicalities to be settled and you will have to be approachable.

When making this choice - to be alone or to attract someone who will take care of the smooth flow of your special day, you should understand whether such practical nuances will not cause you difficulties and will not take away the focus from each other. But for others, it can work very well and give them a good feeling that they themselves are aware of everything that is happening around them.

Protect intimacy and privacy

As you know, a wedding is an intimate event. Therefore, it is important to mutually understand what kind of concept the couple wants to put themselves in on the wedding day. For some, it is important to have people around who see and experience their special and intimate moments. But for those who want to keep it all to themselves, a wedding for two is a great way to make it happen. Dace believes that, in any case, the involvement of people on the wedding day is a delicate aspect to consider.

Maybe there are special people in your life who will tell you the right road words. Then it is worth involving them in some part of the day. A wedding is a day for you and you don't have to choose between all or nothing.

Weddings also take a lot of emotional and energy resources. By choosing to spend the wedding day as a couple, it is possible to keep the attention that otherwise goes to the guests and service providers to yourself in such a scenario and, therefore, to maintain the maximum level of peace. If the couple is relatively closed people, then it may happen that it is on the wedding day that the people around them create stress, even though each of them is close and loved individually.

For example, on the morning of the wedding, you can be nervous not only because it is your wedding day, but also because you know that you will be in front of all these people. If other people are not present on the wedding day, the couple can devote themselves to each other in a completely different quality.

Dace emphasizes that the valuable thing in this wedding concept is that you get maximum privacy and the already mentioned undivided focus on each other. All the couple has to obey is the time of the ceremony and the program of the morning. On the other hand, everything that is post-ceremony can be fluid and fluid. It is an opportunity to experience maximum intimacy on the wedding day, as there are no people to count on, except for the photographer and videographer. As individual and unique as each couple is, so will be the wedding day.

According to Dace, it is a piece of cake for both the couple and the wedding planner and other service providers. To experience the concentrated closeness of the couple, attention to each other, a day where every detail is a story about them - this is the most fantastic thing to experience on a wedding day. Dace believes that these moments are a richness and a level of superior intimacy. You can't even ask for anything more on your wedding day.

First look or a solemn moment for two

Speaking about wedding planning and how important it is to provide time for double solitude in the wedding scenario, Dace points out that the first look or the first meeting is a moment that is often not thought about and that tends to be underestimated. It is a special moment, even before others see you, even before you go to the ceremony site. As Dace describes it, you are the most beautiful and winged version of you and at that moment the emotions hit a fantastic high, so it is a very personal and precious moment. It is the moment when the couple bonds, where warmth flows towards each other and all the feelings spent preparing for the wedding escalate.

Also, if you spend the wedding day together, it is beautiful if there is this magical and conscious moment when you see each other and even without words you get on the same page emotionally and in feelings before going to the ceremony. It is important that you can be just the two of you at this moment and there is no need to rush. It is a moment that must be spared. It is also important that the environment and space are cleaned, down to earth, muted. The chosen environment can be different, but it is essential that someone makes sure that intimacy, silence and peace are provided to enjoy this moment.

Remember that even when planning a wedding day for two, no one forbids you to attract an organizer, coordinator, as well as ushers, who can help ensure all of this and keep the peace, so that someone does not disrupt the magic of the moment by technically solving something in the background. You can allow yourself this luxury - a calm and harmonious flow of the day, which will be helped by the relevant specialists, loved ones and/or other persons you trust.

Indulge in refined and sophisticated experiences on your wedding day

When thinking about how to fill a wedding day, if you are spending it as a couple and you don't have time, space or guest restrictions, the final factor that determines everything is the budget. A wedding for two is a grateful concept, because what other couples spend on a larger wedding, booking a celebration place, renting various attributes, floristry, catering, musicians, arranging guests, and so on, is an opportunity to divert as much as possible to yourself and experience something truly extraordinary.

Dace suggests that couples prepare for the effect of surprise and excitement on their wedding day. To create memories, to direct the funds intended for the wedding day to get to know each other on a new level, in new places, in new circumstances. If the budget is bigger, then everything can be invested in a trip, which is a beautiful option for such a concept wedding.

Pamper yourself by booking the best hotel, restaurant, the place you've always wanted to have dinner. Attract top-ranked service providers. Provide yourself with a feeling of luxury - that you don't have to worry about anything, that everything is done perfectly for you, that everything has been thought of, that everything is perfectly done.

As Dace explains, through such exclusive rituals you will only lift each other up and raise your collective energy. If we energetically look at getting married and what this moment gives to the future life, it is an incommensurable flow of energy that is laid in the foundations of marriage. Therefore, on this day, you must afford everything from the best.

Of course, luxury means something different to everyone. Think about what exactly gives you a sense of exclusivity and make it happen. It can be massages, SPA, or visiting a concert at the VIP level. Include something extravagant and interesting in the experience of the day. Anything on the list that you've always wanted to try but never got around to.

What aspects of planning are not canceled by a wedding for two

Although we focused on the freedom of a wedding as a couple, Dace reminds us that there are also organizational and practical issues that need to be resolved. There are things that need to be arranged, booked, ordered. Some of them will take time, you will have to wait and re-align. And someone has to do those preparations. Also, on the wedding day, various issues will have to be resolved on the way and on the spot in the locations you have chosen. It is worth weighing your priorities and engaging a wedding organizer or coordinator.

An important nuance to remember is that there may be items to be paid on the spot on the day of the wedding. However, it would be good if the couple would make sure that this section is in order as much as possible before the wedding day - so that all contracts and payments have been made and you don't have to think about it on the day of the wedding.

It is possible to organize a wedding for two very quickly, especially if you do not have a specific date in mind or a particularly requested venue. It will be easier to book service providers because everything will take less time on the wedding day as well. But what you should also start thinking about in time is the wedding dress and suit, and of course the wedding rings.

When the date and locations of the wedding are already known, you should also think about the desired beauty treatments, which will help not only to spoil yourself, but also to relax and mentally prepare for the wedding day. It is essential to find out the desired duration of each planned procedure, as most of them must be scheduled in time. Shortly before the wedding day, you should not make drastic changes in appearance or go for procedures that may cause various skin reactions, such as sensitivity and redness.

Finding and negotiating the right make-up artist and hairdresser for the bride on the morning of the wedding takes time and communication. A man should also clean his beard and eyebrows before the wedding day, these procedures should be planned accordingly. On the other hand, on the morning of the wedding, you can schedule a ritual of hair and beard styling and facial rejuvenation.

Dace adds that wedding stationery and printing are also an aspect to consider. Perhaps you want your mood photos to include this visual evidence of your wedding day. You can specially design and print a daily plan or vows. Here you can also think about other wedding day accessories. They are not only a material memory and proof, but also a photo and video are recorded.

Scenario sketch for a wedding for two

As already mentioned at the very beginning, this concept allows for variation and does not exclude the possibility of engaging an organizer to draw up a realistic and suitable day plan for the couple. The scenario for a wedding for two is built around two central events - the wedding ceremony and the morning part in which the couple prepares for it.

Wedding morning

Even before the couple has started planning for the wedding day, it is possible to plan something and express your vision. It can be a joint morning ritual or a joint breakfast, which can turn into a morning photo and video session, which, in turn, can smoothly move into the stage of pouting. Dace adds that if you have a photographer and videographer arriving during breakfast, you should think about what the environment will be like, how you'll look and feel comfortable.

There are two options - to spend the night before the wedding and the morning until the wedding part separately or together. However, you should already be nearby on the morning of the wedding, so that the photo and video team can fit into the time frame, get to both as quickly as possible and create high-quality and complete material. If the budget allows, of course, you can prepare separately and everyone can have their own photographer. But the second scenario, in which the couple is together until the moment of the ceremony, is gaining more and more popularity. The couple can prepare together, it can take place in one larger room, and besides, such a scenario not only brings the couple closer together on the morning of the wedding, but also makes the work easier for everyone involved.

When planning the morning of your wedding, Dace says it's imperative to pay attention to who the service providers will be by your side. Especially in such an intimate and private concept, where you spend your wedding day together. It is not recommended to have more than two people around, as too many people dissipate energy and focus. On the one hand, this hustle and bustle creates a pleasant buzz, but on the other hand, it can be draining.

Therefore, you should consider that they are pleasant people who are not only able to create a positive atmosphere, but also respect your privacy and loneliness.

The next step to think about is how to arrange the wedding morning plans of the bride and groom, because the bride spends at least two hours, while the groom's time is shorter. Once the bride has started getting dressed, the optimal time to schedule the arrival of the photographer and videographer is an hour later. Since the groom takes much less time to get ready, he can plan some additional activities of his own, followed by a first look when the bride is ready. The groom can use the free time to settle the last details of the wedding day. Also, the groom can use this time to arrange flowers or make a surprise for the bride. such small responsibilities and activities will make the groom feel focused and useful, he will not have to spend the morning of the wedding simply waiting anxiously.

When both are completely ready, it's time for the first look, which is coordinated with the photo and video artists, ideally if you can spare an hour for it. If the couple is calm and there is not too much excitement, this moment can be combined with a light lunch.

Speaking of additional practical nuances, it would be nice if fresh flowers were arranged, a candle was lit, snacks, drinks and water were provided instead of the morning shower. It would be polite to provide all this to the service providers as well. If the couple is having a breakfast that includes photographers and videographers, it is polite to serve breakfast to them as well. It is essential to think about the music in your wedding morning location. If there are only two of you and there is no accompanying staff, then you have to take into account that putting on the dress also requires time and skills.

It depends on the type of outfit, but in any case, you have to think about the fact that what you wear before putting on the dress is easy to take off without damaging your makeup and hairstyle. Preferably a robe. It is necessary to calculate this time to get dressed. You also have to expect small corrections from the make-up artist after putting on the dress. at least half an hour should be allowed for this process, so that nothing is damaged in a hurry. On the morning of the wedding, remember about rings, vows, if any, and identity documents.

It's great to think about marriage license covers, because otherwise it's very easy to wrinkle this document and it's good to have somewhere to put it right away. You should also prepare your handbag with the things you need on the wedding day. The other necessary things - outerwear, change of shoes, transparent umbrellas, water, napkins - can be put in the car with which the couple will travel on the wedding day.

Marriage ceremony

After the beautiful morning act, the ceremony follows. Where and in what format it will take place is up to the couple and should be planned accordingly. If a couple wants to quickly and easily correspond in the Department of Birth Registers, then it fits perfectly into this concept. If it is a specially chosen and decorated place, if there is live music during the ceremony, then it goes without saying that it is necessary to plan both how it is all organized and then collected. After the ceremony, a photo and video moment is traditionally scheduled.

In the continuation, you can already go on your chosen daily activities. here you can decide - the photographer and videographer leave or they follow you and capture some more moments of the day. If there was a ceremony immediately after the first look, then this is the moment to go eat. If the photo and video artists continue the day with you, then it is polite to provide lunch for them as well.

The further scenario of the wedding day is entirely up to you. Desires can be various. The main thing is that everything important has been thought of in advance. If you plan the day yourself and it will be just the two of you, then accordingly you will also be responsible for everything that happens, you will keep track of when and where you have to be, you will answer the calls.

Conjure up a holiday for yourself

According to Dace, even in this wedding concept - a wedding for two - it is worth attracting a person who helps you in the planning process. Even if it's just a consultation, you can have peace of mind and know how to get the most out of your wedding day. If you choose to hire a wedding planner, you will have less stress and your planning will be more efficient, because you will basically be communicating with just one person, who will have already solved a lot of things in the background. If you want to enjoy not only the day, but also the planning process, then don't be afraid to attract the organizer as your assistant, because he will be your support and security even if you want to be just the two of you.
