BRIDE'S LIFESTYLE

The anatomy of honesty of actors Dārta Daneviča and Niklāvs Kurpnieks.

Openly about honesty, resentment, love and why they still call each other partners, not husband and wife.

ENGAGEMENT

Despite historical and religious twists, nowadays engagement is mostly a cultural construct of a couple's relationship. A prelude to wedding both for themselves and for society. Engagement has taken on the squealing excitement aura of Hollywood romantic films, in which everyone joins in – starting with the couple themselves, publicizing this new status and related details, ending with the neighbor's janitor and supermarket window slogans – knocking even the most self-sufficient of us off our feet. /D.Daneviča/

WEDDING PLANNING

6 CONCEPTS FOR DIFFERENT WEDDING

Often wedding concepts can be as different as the couples themselves, but it is the wedding concept that is the most important question to start the special day's planning process. A big wedding for 3 days or a secret elopement from everyone with just your loved one – in what wedding format will you feel best? We offer to get acquainted with the six most popular wedding concepts and aspects to consider when choosing one of them. /L.Pālēna/

STEP INTO WEDDING SHOES

The proposal has been made, the relationship status on Facebook has changed, the ring is on Instagram, and girlfriends are already asking hundreds of questions: when will you get married and where, who will photograph you, have you already chosen a decorator...? If just a moment ago the bride was an ethereal and happy being, after announcing the engagement she has become almost a ball of stress. Suddenly, many advisors appear, teaching how to get married correctly. Especially if they look at other couples' wedding photographs, the feelings of the new couple themselves about how they would like to celebrate their love often get lost in all of it. /I.Piternika, Mint Deco /

IN THE MOST WEDDING ROMANTIC DESTINATION IN THE WORLD – VENICE

Venice is often called the most romantic city in the world, so it's no surprise that countless couples would like to say their vows there. Among the city's canals, hundreds of bridges, gondoliers dressed in striped shirts, and some of the world's most magnificent villas and hotels lies the key to romance that every lover wants to find. Venice is an exclusive, yet for us Europeans, an accessible destination, so if there is a dream to celebrate wedding there, then you should definitely go and fulfill it. /L.Pālēna, Šarmants /

ORGANIZING WEDDING OURSELVES

The big 'yes'. Finally, you can pull out the box from under the bed, where since childhood you've collected magazine clippings for a dream dress, a dream setting, and a dream white horse, and get to it. Well, well. That's how it's shown in movies. But getting to organize the wedding day yourself is not a movie script. It's both quite real and normal. And not just for the bride. For both. Without the participation of a wedding organizer./I.Cipruse/

CREATING OUR OWN WEDDING SCENARIO

The first thought or dream of the bride and groom about wedding and its visual image is often the most genuine, and sometimes even after several meetings, the couple returns to the starting point, even if, as the celebration approaches, doubts and a feeling that something needs to be changed arise from anxiety. /I.Bērziņa, bannte events /

BEYOND THE USUAL – CHANGES IN THE WEDDING SCENARIO

For Wedding, not everything has to happen like clockwork anymore. Changing the scenario is one of the biggest wedding industry trends of recent years, and crossing seemingly established time boundaries is recommended by both wedding industry professionals and couples who have already taken this step. /L.Pālēna/

BEST MEN THEN AND NOW

“Will you be our best man?” That’s how my journey began to a summer where I witnessed a beautiful new beginning. Was I alone? No. My fellow best man was another friend, certainly not my other half. Did we prepare a whole wedding program and repeat our evening host skills? No. The new couple wanted us by their side merely as witnesses and emotional support on their way. /I.Cipruse/

KRISTĪNE GRĪNVALDE: PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY DAZZLING JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF FEELINGS

YES AND NO IN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Wedding photography is one of the few elements of the wedding day that will live much longer than the wedding day itself. Flowers will wilt, the cake will be eaten, the rum will be drunk. All that will remain – the bride, the groom, the rings, and memories. /I.Lankovska/

WEDDING AESTHETICS CODE

The first thought or dream of the bride and groom about wedding and its visual image is often the most genuine, and sometimes even after several meetings, the couple returns to the starting point, even if, as the celebration approaches, doubts and a feeling that something needs to be changed arise from anxiety.

Colors and flower names don't matter – How much does it cost? – Factors influencing the visual image of the celebration. /K.Jakadela, Augu māja/
