Tips for (un)traditional weddings

A Church Ceremony Remains the Most Preferred

A wedding is a significant milestone for any couple, creating memories that will last a lifetime. In the weeks or months leading up to the big day, couples carefully plan every detail to make their celebration perfect. Choosing the right venue for the ceremony is a crucial part of this planning. Traditionally, the church has been the most popular choice, followed by a classic celebration that continues into the next day.

However, many couples are increasingly opting for unconventional alternatives. While these unique venues can provide a distinctive and memorable experience, they also come with their own set of challenges. Despite this, the classic church wedding remains a favored choice for its timeless appeal and significance.

A wedding experience

The choice of venue where future spouses exchange their vows depends on both their personal preferences and financial considerations. Castles, châteaux, and mansions have become increasingly popular choices for weddings. With many such venues available in our country, couples have a range of options to choose from and can book a date that suits them.

However, it’s important to note that these venues often come with a higher price tag. Renting a historical monument can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of euros, depending on the size of the wedding, whether the reception is held at the same location, and other factors.

A wedding in a castle offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Beautifully decorated with elegant textiles, these settings provide a memorable experience for both the newlyweds and their guests. Many venues also offer period furniture, adding a touch of historical charm. A wedding in such a historic environment can transform the special day into a fairy tale, with its inherent romance and grandeur.

 

Choosing a Garden Wedding

If a lavish style isn’t to your taste, a garden wedding might be the perfect alternative. This option is growing in popularity, especially in Western countries. Compared to weddings in historical monuments, garden ceremonies are generally more affordable and offer a range of benefits.

The lush green backdrop allows for creative decorations, making any design stand out against the grass. Whether you opt for a classic white tablecloth or a more vibrant theme, you can create an extraordinary experience for your guests. Garden weddings also tend to be more intimate, often held within a circle of close family and friends. For this reason, it’s advisable to keep the guest list smaller to ensure everyone enjoys a comfortable experience.

However, there are some challenges to consider with a garden wedding. The event is dependent on the season, making it less feasible during winter months. Weather can also be unpredictable, so it’s important to plan for potential rain. Providing large tents with ample space is a good way to protect guests from the elements.

If you choose to organize a garden wedding on your own, be prepared for numerous responsibilities. From setup to service, you’ll need to stay on top of every detail to ensure everything runs smoothly.

 

Weddings Abroad

Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular, with couples seeking out sunny beaches, mountain peaks, or other unconventional locations to celebrate their union. Many companies specialize in organizing these "turnkey" weddings, handling all the details so you can enjoy a stress-free experience.

Imagine exchanging vows on a picturesque beach at sunset—such a setting adds a unique charm to the occasion. Destination weddings also offer the advantage of combining the celebration with a honeymoon, allowing you to immediately enjoy your first moments as a married couple in a beautiful location.

Whether you choose a beach, mountain, or another outdoor setting, the natural beauty will serve as your backdrop, creating a special and memorable experience. However, these weddings are typically more intimate, often limited to a small group of close family and friends, rather than a large guest list.

 

How About a Farm Wedding?

Even a rural setting can provide a unique and charming atmosphere for a wedding. While a farm wedding might seem unconventional and is not yet widely popular in our country, it offers a distinctive and memorable experience. If you're open to experimenting and standing out, a farm could be the perfect venue for your special day.

There are countless creative options for an unconventional wedding. Couples can choose to marry in a variety of unique locations, from a ski slope and an old mill to a museum or a meadow. Unconventional settings are also popular for wedding photos—posing in front of a rustic barn or amidst nature adds a distinctive touch to your album. Many couples even travel to find the perfect backdrop for their wedding.

Despite the growing interest in unconventional venues, the classic church wedding or an official ceremony at a local registry office remains the most preferred choice. Regardless of your venue choice, we hope your wedding day is truly special, and that you enjoy and cherish the memories for a lifetime.
