WEDDINGS ABROAD DURING COVID RESTRICTIONS

WEDDINGS ABROAD DURING COVID RESTRICTIONS

Are weddings possible during Covid bans in foreign countries and what should be taken into account if you want to implement them without waiting for the cancellation of all possible restrictions, advise Alice Kolosova/ Boutique Event Planning

*As Alice Kolosova reminds: " The world belongs to the brave !" If you really want your special wedding experience the ritual on an exotic island or in charming France or Italy - do it!

*However, it is important to keep in mind and take into account that the extent of restrictions and rules are different in each country. Countries in the zone where the rules change every little while are better not to visit because there are there is a high probability that after a month the beautifully planned wedding will have to postpone . And you already know that an emergency situation is full of challenges for all of us, restrictions can change suddenly.

Before choosing a country to go to, it is important to study the situation there .

*It should be noted that the situation in different countries can be variable, even unpredictable. Alice Kolosova says on weddings already being organized: "We are currently coordinating weddings in Italy, Bali and Mexico, planned for the period from March until the end of August. At this stage, specific dates have been selected and reservations have been made, but it should be noted that the situation is very volatile."

* It will be more practical and easier to carry out a wedding ceremony abroad if the couple officially gets married in Latvia before the planned of travel . Alice says: "Eighty percent of couples choose to formally correspond in Latvia - in jeans signs a paper without giving it a symbolic meaning, but keeping the ceremonial and ritual meaning for an outing. Under these conditions, it is safer to sort out the legal side already in Latvia."

*If you have decided to sign the marriage documents in Latvia without a special ceremony , deciding who will be your real one love celebration date , listen to your in the heart ! It doesn't have to be the date the papers were signed if you feel that the moment you experienced is what matters the real wedding - the ritual of concluding marriage ties, saying the word "yes" in the presence of the closest people.

*Alice suggests having a small wedding . If there is a desire to hold an impressive party with 70 guests, you should expect that restrictions may arise. One solution is to prepare do not send both the full and the small guest list and invitations to everyone at once.

* Boutique Event Planning currently, foreign weddings are organized only in cooperation with verified foreign wedding service providers in Bali, Italy and France, choosing partners for location, technical execution and caterers. In addition, exploring new places is relatively difficult at the moment, as there are hotels and villas whose operations have shifted to seasonal work, therefore it is not possible to view them at the moment.

*If the couple's original dream was for a different location, Boutique Event Planning offers to view equivalent alternatives , places that will be safe to work with in these difficult Covid restriction times . Customers are offered to view videos and photos already from an arranged wedding to make the decision easier.

*What if the idea of a wedding abroad arose spontaneously and there is a desire to realize it after a month ? Alice says: "Traveling has become more complicated, you have to take it into account, but it's worth it! You have to keep track of every national regulations – one country requires Covid test , in another - not, self-isolation must be observed in one country, not in another. We can plan the process, but it may happen that after a few weeks the wedding in Ibiza is no longer feasible. The conditions must be taken into account - for example, in France after there is a curfew at 8:00 p.m., which means celebrating until midnight just won't be possible.

You have to be very creative right now. It can be, for example, a ritual wedding in the forest only for close family members .

I would recommend focusing on intimate weddings.

If it is important that this event is realized in the near future, it is worth departing from the plans for a hundred people in the palace. We need to evaluate why this event is important to us, why is it important to implement it right now? If it is important right now, then it is a value for us. Wedding we minimize the concept - we ask for fewer guests, we don't organize the event until the morning, we use the time that is allowed for active act, for example, by holding a marriage ceremony at sunrise.

We focus on the event in the open air and the time of day - more intimate and a more concise event, which is likely to become even more special than the dreamy big wedding. Bonus for a small wedding - for that the budget itself can organize much higher-quality events with a more personal effect, by devoting financial resources to those positions that otherwise might there would be a lack of funds in the budget."
