Again, if the mother of the groom agrees with this proposal.

You can also combine black with gold, light pink, silver, blue and other bright colors. Well, if in this case the fabric is with the tide. Good choice - dress in soft colors. It may be green or blue dress, light purple and peach.

6. When choosing a dress for the mother of the bride or the groom, should take into account features of the figure of women. If there are problem areas, of course, the best option would be a long evening dress or a fitted silhouette free.

The presence of the sleeve will be a good option for owners Large hands. It does not have to be a dress with long sleeves, it is enough to choose the model dresses with boleros, which will cover elegant shoulders, and if necessary, you can remove it.

For women with a small waist suit with close-fitting dress or top can emphasize the waist by a belt. The dress in the Empire style, or with a high line of bodice will cover protruding belly and waist clearly expressed.

But this dress will fit harmoniously into the environment when the need will be met by a young couple on a marble staircase at the entrance to the restaurant.

In such a case, you should get two outfits - thereby evening dress my mother's dream and suit (or dress) is more modest, for day ceremonies at a wedding (ransom registration).

Extending the work of the banquet hall
• Editor's Note

Sometimes there are certain cases in the work to which I want to tell, but a separate article about them will not write. Exactly for such cases exist, our heading "Editor's Note". We hope it will be useful. And now I propose to talk about such a sensitive issue, as an extension of the work of the banquet hall.

Since the start of the wedding season personally I witnessed two diametrically opposed cases related to the extension of the work room. First case: the couple decided to cheat a ballroom. I must say that it is very difficult, as administrators halls are usually quite a lot of experience and they've all seen and everything ready.

These newlyweds room was up to 22 hours, then hourly for rent - 6 000 rubles. They assured the Administrator preliminary meeting, that they have the wedding will begin at 18 hours and will be completed in 22 hours, not later, so the extension they will not take.

In fact, the couple said so only to the administrator, all other specialists: master, photographer, videographer reported that the wedding will be up to 23 hours. As a result, all of a sudden came to light at the wedding, when at 21.30 the administrator suddenly discovered that the wedding will be up to 22 hours, but not to 23, as the lead. Newlyweds refused to renew.

The facilitator had sharply, half an hour to carry out what he was going to hold for the next hour and a half. The final turned out to be, naturally, crumpled. 22.15 The administrator said to include a great light, turn off the music, absolutely all, and the waiters began to quickly collect all the plates from the table. Photographers and videographers have nothing to shoot, master - nothing to spend.

As a result, the final wedding was not what what was planned. Guests do not quite understand why they are not allowed to eat up the cake, all quickly (within an hour) put it mildly, "exposed" to the street. Maybe then it will be the banquet hall of the negative information from visitors that they rather abruptly asked to leave the restaurant, but if you look, the administrators are not to blame: no one wants to work for free.

This logic of the newlyweds is clear: to ask the master to complete the program in 20-30 minutes earlier and gradually return to their homes. Do not be the same kick out of the chat room - and that's how it turned out. However, in any case, a leading brightened and a final wedding, so many did not notice what had happened, and immediately proceeded to the final part of the street.

Another situation - reverse. At the newlyweds in the agreement it says that the service is carried out before the end of the banquet. If the administrator has repeatedly said that they will have a dinner with 19 to 0 hours, to which she replied that everything is in order, no way to pay more will not have to. At the wedding, she went at 22.30 and warned that free time will end in 23 hours, and will need to pay for the extension.

Newlyweds opened and saw the contract small print postscript that if the feast ends after 23 hours, you must pay for each hour 5000 rubles. They certainly have paid, but the fact of not talking about good relations administrator for the newlyweds.

In general, I recommend to all, in any case expect that the room will have to renew and advance to find out how much it will cost and whether it is possible at all. Sometimes an extension is not possible, especially in the various nightclubs, where up to 21 hours of the wedding, and 22 hours - is a disco on the ticket.

2. The kids will not interfere with my parents there.

6. Children may be in a separate room in which to play the music that they like, and not one that will be ordered drunken guests.

7. Animator can create a real children's concert, reading congratulations or even a small show. This is a very touching and unusual gift for the newlyweds. And most importantly, the parents of the kids are just happy to see their children on stage.

8. You do not need to personally come up with what to do with the kids at the wedding to think about what games and competitions for them to carry out, for you it will make an animator.

You have been invited to the wedding as a guest
• detailed instructions that will take place at the wedding

You have been invited to the wedding as a guest, it's nice and responsible, but maybe you're a little nervous, because to be a guest at a wedding - a difficult art. How "not to lose face," and how not to get lost among the camera lens.
1. If in the morning you are invited to the bride to get ready, you in any case can not be late.

You must come in advance, even if you do not help in the training camp. Your delay will annoy bride. Find out in advance the address. If circumstances force you to stay, in any case, do not call the bride. Your calls with updates and questions will annoy her and distract from the work of make-up artist, hair stylist, photographer and cameraman. Call for better parents or friends who are close to the bride.

2. At the wedding, it is desirable to be fresh and sleep, your wrinkled face and fume will not add an atmosphere of conviviality. Guests arriving in the morning, be prepared for what they will be removed. No need to hide from the camera, as well as "climb" in the lens, photographer and videographer do you turn to when you want to remove.

3. Improvisation - is good, but the best greetings and other nice things to think about beforehand. They then will be available in the registry office or at a banquet.

4. Where redemption takes place at the entrance, do not climb into the front ranks, and try to keep the children with them. First comes the bride groom, followed by a photographer and videographer. It is not necessary to break the sequence. Do not be offended, and remember - you are supporting characters in this "act", stay a little away. Do not be afraid to miss anything, it is for you to take pictures and videos, in addition, experts have to give a little space to work.

5. It would be best if all the guests will hold a meter from the pair met in the group. In this case, even in the stairwell of a good specialist will be able to remove the really nice ransom.

6. Do not pick flowers with the apartment. Coming to purchase, you need to know in advance what kind of car will leave. Leave flowers and gifts in it, on the redemption they will only get in the way. Flowers daryatsya after registration, and gifts - at the banquet.

7. If you were asked to leave the room - do it in an orderly and prompt and stand away from the entrance, waiting for the young will come, greet them at a distance of applause or cheers. If you leave out the front after the young, do not try to get ahead, even if you really need and you somewhere late. You run the risk of damaging important and beautiful frame.

8. On the walk, do not look into the camera lens, behave naturally. People with cameras do not remove your portraits. If you saw the camera, you will begin to pose and smile for installation you still cut out.

9. photographers and videographers must be removed rejoicing people watching the event, your emotions and your reactions to what is happening at the wedding. If you suddenly want to be your portrait, you will say about this. Smile, look at the camera, say a few words.

10. If you see that the couple posing, not run up to them, they do not draw attention to themselves. You still have time to congratulate them, hug, kiss and drink a glass of two in honor of the holiday.

11. At registration take flowers with them. Depending on the format of registration sit on chairs (first rows occupied by close relatives) or stand along the wall (if the registration is held in the registry office). Do not try to get into the first row, pushing the other guests, or getting up in front of them.

12. The main scourge of modern weddings - remove guests. Many couples even began to make a mark in the invitation to ban shooting at registration. Do not try to take the best places to do some pictures on your phone, tablet, or your camera. Newlyweds have hired a photographer and cameraman, they work, including, for you.

13. If at the time of registration you sit, in any case, do not get up and go out into the aisle, to make the frame. Even if you think that you do not interfere with the photographer or operator, you can "screw up" the overall plan of the camera, which stands behind. In addition, the standing you reduce the number of possible movements and angles for shooting specialists. You think that you do not interfere, but in fact specialists can simply wait for you to sit, to move to another location.

14. If, however, you really want to make a couple of shots for himself, just raise your hand from the camera.

15. At registration you should not chew gum or keep something in your mouth (toothpicks, straws, candy). Try to control your emotions and gestures, even if you had something to not like. Do not want to smile - just look at the newlyweds, but in no case should not be bored person for other people or working professionals.

16. Often the wedding are two operator or two photographers. One is a pair, the other takes guests. To get successfully filmed a common plan, professionals have to shoot a lot. About 70 percent of the material captured on registration, dropping out because of bad manners guests.

17. On arrival at the restaurant wait that says lead. Lead is likely to appeal to guests and tell us how you celebrate the newlyweds when giving gifts, and what will happen. Do not immediately line up in some way, taking a loaf and run to meet the young. The meeting arranged with the lead, and he will tell all.

18. If you plan to steal the bride, or even steal something, then ask your host when it can be done. There are times when it just is not worth doing. For example, before the first dance, or at the time of giving gifts.

Also, do not steal the bride at the end of the banquet, after the cake, or at the very beginning - before the meeting. We have a clear program of wedding, script, and it does not mean that it will be some formulaic and uninteresting, the program may be unusual and fascinating, but even from such a program have a script.

19. Microphone. If you plan to publicly congratulate the young, to make a toast, you should do it in a microphone. Even if visitors do not have much, and you have a good voice, it is better to use a microphone.

This is to ensure that the guests did not have a sharp dissonance between the speech of the leader, who spoke into the microphone a few hours before you, and your speech. They are in any case will have to listen, guests will be distracting background noise, and the impression of the spoken words you will not either.

The timing of when planning a wedding walk
• how to avoid mistakes

1. Many brides planning a wedding day is lost: how long to leave for a photo shoot for a walk? Universal answer to this question. We can say that more than three hours (including travel) for many, you get tired.

2. If the marriage occurs in one place, without moving, for example, in a country cottage, the photo shoot can be divided into two parts. The first - before the arrival of guests. If the photo session takes place in one location, it will take from 30 minutes to one and a half hours. The second part - in the evening. The setting sun - the light of the most favorite of most photographers. If possible, take a shot at least 15-20 minutes.

2. If the wedding in the city, the biggest loss of time - this time to travel. It is advisable to choose such a place to shoot, to which you can quickly reach. At your wedding itinerary always have three addresses: a meeting place for the bride and groom, the place of incorporation and place of the banquet.

It is advisable to choose places to walk close to those addresses, thereby reducing the time on the road. It is not necessary when registering in the first palace to go to the 300th anniversary of the park, and then return to the square. Alexander Nevsky.

3. It is important to pre-plan your route wedding walk and not coming up with it on the go. Forming a route, be sure to consult with your photographer and videographer. Planning, try to take into account the traffic situation and the possibility of entrance to a particular place. Often, wedding car driver can make significant adjustments to perfect your look at the route. Have a backup plan.

4. In our city many beautiful parks where you can make beautiful pictures. Walk in the park should be carefully considered, especially if a large park. Sometimes "the same tree" at one end of the park, and "the same bridge" entirely different. Think you are ready to foot the transition from one place to another. This applies to almost all the suburban parks and some of the parks in the city, Central Park, for example. On a walk in the large park to be laid at least two hours.

5. Another common mistake - to plan a few places for a photo shoot. You risk turning your wedding day to the quest on "in time for a couple of hours to visit the thirty-three places." Usually, nothing good comes out of it. If you want variety, and you have left at least 2.5 hours, schedule two (maximum three) places that are next to each other and do not require a large deviation from your main route (see. Previous item).

But be prepared to sacrifice some locations, if you do not keep up with the time. And it is desirable to choose this location in advance so that did not happen, that most of you would like to be photographed in the third place, but due to the traffic jams from him was dropped.

6. If you choose a few places, one of them should still be basic, where you will spend at least 30 minutes just to shoot, while the other two will take no more than 15 minutes. For example, it is not necessary to plan the Yusupov Palace, Tauride Gardens, and Museum of the water at the same time. Another important point, you should be able to drive as close to the place of shooting, it also saves time.

7. If the trip is long, scroll 15-20 minutes for a cup of coffee or tea in the middle at the end of the walk. If you have time - you can sit in the cafe when the time is short, take in a cafe or coffee to be reserved in advance thermos. All this, too, can become part of a photo shoot, and will help maintain your energy throughout the day.

8. The wedding walk can be divided into two parts - before and after registration.

9. Consider a photo session with guests. This is a required moment, but do not take all the guests to the park to walk 15 minutes to the place, make a couple of group shots and leave for an hour or two with the photographer, distinguished guests case of champagne. Keep in mind that not all guests are eager to take part in a long photoshoot, especially the older generation. It is better to take pictures with them or at the registrar's office or near the place where a banquet will be held.

Friends of the young, by contrast, most expect that the bride and groom will have time to take photos with them. Think where you can spend a photoshoot. In group shots would require 15 to 40 minutes, depending on the number of guests and their activity.

10. Be sure to think through an option in case of rain. Do not forget to put in the car umbrellas. And that's where photographed in the rain - a topic for another article.

11. In our city there are many great places to walk the wedding, some are known to all, many others, and the existence of the couple and the third suspect. Try to formulate their wishes to a place for a photo shoot and consult the professionals - the photographer and videographer.

Be prepared for the fact that the Internet is not all experts are ready to reveal the "other" newlyweds "their" place. This allows you to be unique routes for walking.

12. Although, as we know, not a man paints the place. The main thing - it's you and your feelings. Do not worry if a long walk does not fit into your plan for the day. Believe me, a remarkable series of love can be removed even against the background of a white wall.

Features choice of "live music" for the wedding
• all the subtleties and nuances

Live music is usually used in the marriage registration for the musical accompaniment collect guests for scoring restaurant (gastronomic) pauses at the beginning of the program, as a bright musical greeting numbers in the program, as well as for "living" disco.

The classical, ethnic, jazz, pop musicians have become the perfect complement to the classic programs and thematic wedding!

Sometimes these costs exceed the fee themselves artists.

Some musicians can play and sing "in acoustics," ie, all without any amplification of sound: they do not need a microphone or the so-called "Minus" (sounding from the speakers instrumental accompaniment, backing vocals, effects, etc. - quality analogue of karaoke, the artist himself while playing / singing live).

This is a very convenient option for field registration, if the collection takes visitors on the street or in a separate room from the main room of the banquet: it is not necessary to spend money on an extra set of audio equipment.

To the musicians, who do not need additional technical conditions are: accordion, accordion, harp, piano / piano (subject to availability of the tool on the site), duets with any tools listed above, bagpipes, Armenian duduk; instrumental ensembles, starting with the trio (strings, brass, folk, mixed, pop - a string trio, a trio of guitarists saskofonistov quartet, brass Brass Quintet, and others.), a full orchestra.

2. miking. We are talking about the use of sound-amplifying equipment: wireless microphones or microphones on stands or special switching (for some power tools) + sound system (speakers, mixer, amplifier).

Need for miking instruments of quiet when it comes to the Wellcome Visiting registration or on which there are many guests. In the hall where the banquet is usually podzvuchivayut all musicians. It requires little or no additional cost, or limited only by the extra microphones, because Kit brings sound DJ.

Podzvuchivat can be all of the musicians in the preceding paragraph, if the Visiting registration or Wellcome there are a large number of guests. If the musicians perform in the program is mainly a banquet hall - a little podzvuchit need almost all, or at least the sound will vary greatly with the sound from the speakers (except may be, perhaps, a brass quintet or brass show drummers). Also in need of amplification vocal ensembles a capella.

3. Minus. Usually accompanied by soloists-instrumentalists playing on monophonic instruments (violin, electroviolin, saxophone, solo guitar, flute, etc.), And almost always coexists with miking. * No "minus" these tools will sound "bald", no self-respecting the musician will not agree to "play for 20 minutes on a violin one": it is easier to refuse the order, than to look ridiculous.

Minus One also singers are acting solo. For the full sound in nebanketnoy zone needs at least a small set of audio equipment with a microphone. If an artist performs in the main banquet hall - Sound Equipment DJ is enough (but that did not work overlays - be sure to let the invited musicians beforehand communicate directly with DJ: ipolniteley all its nuances).

* Some instrumentalists may bring with them a small column or a boom box with a sounding of Minus One and play without sound reinforcement (budget option for street / Wellcome / exit registration).

4. Provide technical rider to fully "live" group. Several musicians - it is at least a few microphones, but usually is not limited to all microphones. Technical rider major groups (jazz, ethnic, cover bands, teams with the author's repertoire of pop stars) must be trusted professional sound engineer or a company car vendor of professional equipment for presentations.

Tehrayder at all different: the stars may have special requirements, even to the stage design and the light, but absolutely all groups have clear wishes of the sound, ranging from manufacturers of equipment to the unit located on the stage.

Because the drum does not fit the vocal mic, guitar and keyboard are connected by means of a special switching vocalist needed monitor line and remote processing of vocal and violin, saxophone or trumpet, too, have their own specific connection.

Before the performance, about 2-3 hours before the event, the group holds a mandatory check sound (acoustic rehearsals) with a sound engineer.

Technical rider of the average cover a group of 5-8 people can cost from 30 to 80 thousand rubles.

Household rider.

There are musicians who would not mind just a snack during the event, but will do very well without it, and there are bands, food and comfort to ensure that (a comfortable dressing room, steam iron, ironing board, mirror, coat rack with hangers, etc. ) is required when ordering.

Conditions are different, and often depend on the time spent by staff on site: someone will arrange sandwiches, tea, coffee and water, and someone will insist on the snacks, hot, certain non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, even the elite. When artists come from out of town - a domestic rider added the cost of travel, accommodation and meals throughout their stay in your city, transport support. If you think that is not willing to pay for additional services - refuse performance of the selected group.

Helpful advice. When you call a musician / band administrator for the purpose of invitations to speak at their wedding - something other than the cost (fee), please specify:

1. The number of people coming to the event.

2. The number of people on stage (may vary with the total amount, if additional visits, for example, an administrator or a sound). It depends on the size of the stage space.

3. Technical rider - a necessary sound, light and stage equipment for the performances: that brought her, and what the customer has to provide.

4. Household rider.

5. Appearance of artists: what clothes they go on stage, how many times a night dress up.

6. What is supposed to go on stage and how long they last, and the total time of presence in the area (there are groups that make, for example, 3 outputs, but these outputs must meet at 3 o'clock, or price increases, the sound check before the event is done, regardless of the above conditions and is not included in the stated time).

7. How much time before the event, the artists come to the site, the necessary time availability.

8. Payment procedure, with whom, and at what point to conduct calculations at the event.

How to make a themed wedding does not become a cheap play?
• detailed instructions

Many newlyweds make a huge mistake of thinking that if they ask guests to dress in the style, and the leading spend a couple of thematic competitions, they will have original and unforgettable wedding. In fact, the wedding will be a cheap parody of a quality holiday.

Qualitatively, there is no celebration of gaps (either in the design or in the program or in the organization of the whole day). So, what points to consider when preparing a thematic wedding:

1. The theme is determined in advance and do not follow fashion trends blindly.
Finally, something important happened and reverent event - you have made a marriage proposal, and start preparing for your wedding. It is here and should be conceived the idea and purpose of the holiday (before application to the registrar and invitations guests). To begin with, you should sit down with the second half and to determine the list of invited guests. Once the list is compiled, you know the approximate number of guests at the party and their ages. Further, it is already possible to choose the theme.

First, think about what you like best, or that plays a significant role in your relationship. Perhaps the offer was made in Paris, and then we can make the wedding in a sophisticated French style, or you have a favorite movie, the plot of which is bright and rich in content for the transfer format of a wedding celebration. Throw a couple of ideas.

A further contrast these ideas with the number of your guests and their interests. For the wedding, where only one family, is unlikely to get too extravagant or a chur modern wedding (Hippie Rock, Anime). Of course, this is your day, but is worth all the effort and money if your guests feel alien and out of place throughout the holiday? Try to find a compromise to be nice to you and interesting guests.

2. Pay special attention to the choice of the venue of the banquet.
From the venue of the festival it depends very much, sometimes she creates a marketplace already the atmosphere in which you want to immerse guests. For example, sea wedding best - boat or a restaurant with a pier (water, river), a restaurant, decorated in the style and with the speaker called "Sail", "Pierce," "Breeze", "Beach".

For bright celebration with the theme "Hipsters" does not fit the classic dark room. Perfect white tent, which can be as a canvas to paint with bright colors or thematic area with a juicy interior, retro-style cafe in the Soviet era. In choosing the location can not be wrong, because even the most wonderful banquet program, guests will not be able to feel the right frame of mind if the room would be contrary to the overall concept.

3. Before work on the little things and details seriously grasp the timing and preparation of the overall scenario plan.
Once you have selected the location and themes, you need to sort through and the minute all your ideas. It is advisable at this stage to communicate with your already leading organizer or wedding (if it is assumed). Perfect organizational plan your day looks like this:

8:00 - up, breakfast,
9:00 - 12:00 - charges the bride and groom,
12:00 - 13:00 - Move to a place of thematic photo session of the newlyweds,
13: 00-15: 00 - photoshoot (2-3 places)
15:00 - gathering of guests, buffet, Welcome-area entertainment
16:00 - visiting a thematic registration of marriage,
16:30 - photo session with the guests,
17:30 - the beginning of the banquet program.

This daily routine newlyweds do not need to get up at 5 in the morning, they can sleep quietly. It is better to abandon even the theme of redemption with an interesting scenario, and as an alternative to carry out the theft of the bride and buy at the banquet, also in non-standard form.

This form of marriage is always better to choose a marriage registration. For you will not be able to translate your ideas into the wedding ceremony: there'll be traditional, but this is contrary to the concept of the day. And guests will not be painful early charges and heavy long wait.

This is the time they can spend on training their way to your holiday. Those. the timing plan solves the main task - to prepare for the holiday guests. Let's say you have chosen the theme of the red carpet or the "Gatsby", this topic requires guests to wear evening dresses, make beautiful hair and makeup, and as such it is very difficult in the morning to move along with the newlyweds.

4. Come up with an original invitation, which will intrigue guests.
So, you already know the number of guests, theme, venue, date and timing of plan of the day. You can easily make and send out invitations. This is not just a wedding accessory, it's a ticket for your holiday, it is here that we begin to prepare the guests to the event. Therefore themed wedding pays special attention to the design and form of invitations.

For example, if your wedding will take place on February 14, you can invite an animator in the image of Cupid, who will personally deliver the invitations to your guests. Or, if you are planning a wedding on a plot of the film, remove the video parody of the kind invitation of the trailer or teaser to your wedding. It is also necessary to specify in the invitation the time of collection, and if you want to ask the guests to come in a certain appearance, it is sure to mount it.

5. Think about not only his image, but the image of the groomsmen witnesses or with friends.
The bride and groom - the protagonists of all the action, so your clothes have to match a certain style theme that you have chosen. If we recall the example of the French-style wedding, the bride can be a fluffy skirt tea length, short gloves and hat of the original design.

Bridesmaids dresses can repeat the style of dress of the bride. But in any case, do not forget about your friends, that is, If you do decide that you will be best man and bridesmaid, then with them think over the appearance, it is in voluntary themed wedding wish "guys, be in the red" very bad impact on the later photos and general impression. Let us remember the main rule themed wedding - attention to detail and the detail!

6. Determine the dress-code for all guests and motivate them to its observance.
Of course, with rigorous approach to the organization of weddings, appearance is important not only to the main characters, but also all the guests and staff. How to persuade and motivate visitors to observe the rules of appearance?

Firstly: it is required to specify in the invitation that will show your seriousness in this matter, and what you come up with the theme at the last minute, and prepare in advance.

Second, create a group with the preparation for your wedding in contact and put the album out there with examples of dresses guests and mount it that the best way in the evening get a super prize from the newlyweds.

Third: often tell how seriously and thoroughly you prepare for the holiday, in which case guests will be simply inconvenient to forget about your requests.

And certainly, when you comply with all the items, they will be happy themselves to dream and prepare for the wedding. After all, they are interested in and fascinated your event, and this is probably the most important rule. Captivate! But it is always necessary to remember and focus on the financial situation of your guests, do not put people in an awkward position.

Suppose you are planning a party in the style of a chic "Oscar" and puts the group expensive evening gowns, if someone can not afford such a luxury, rather refuse the invitation at all.

As for the staff - photographers, host, waiter, there must also be respect for dress-code. It is not necessary to require waiters and photographers themed outfits, but if you have social events, it is a classic shape for a restaurant - a white shirt and a butterfly - it's not hard! Lead - the card of the evening, so it must be the most conform to the image of the plan than other professionals.

7. Find a suitable location for a thematic photo shoot, move away from the classical canons.
At the end of the wedding you will definitely get a lot of beautiful pictures and collect them in an album, you can give a name corresponding to the style of the entire event. Therefore, the photo shoot the newlyweds should also be carefully planned. You can break it into two parts - one is a classic, and the second stylized.

Typically, for a stylized photo shoot themed decor is made a certain area on the nature or choose a suitable interior design studio, it can also be a location (museum, theater, roof, pier, a medieval castle, etc.) corresponding to your idea. Diversify shooting props helps, it makes it more interesting and memorable. Be sure to discuss all your ideas with the photographer, what should be the treatment of pictures - in the fairytale wedding, you can take some pictures with the art retouching wedding in retro style hints at the colors monochrome or sepia (of course, not all of the photos and small series).

8. Discard the registry office in favor of marriage registration.
As already mentioned, on a themed wedding is better to choose an exit registration of marriages, and go to the registrar in advance the narrow family circle. On-site registration, you are free to do what you want to translate all dreams and ideas. If you are planning a holiday in the medieval style, you can not exchange rings and pendants, charms by some handmade and engraved, pick up the music of the time or invite Piper, ask the registrar to write an individual text.

It will be a completely original action to realize that it is simply impossible in the Wedding Palace. If you have chosen a thematic marriage registration, be sure to think over its most important points: design (arch, path, places for guests, table registrar, trivia: pillow for rings, marriage certificate), music, text and the appearance of the registrar, attribute to reviews (instead of rose petals, can be bells, butterflies, bubbles, etc.)

9. Select a considerable amount of time and for the preparation and development of design.
This is one of the most important points! We can not forget about it in any case. All areas of your holiday must be made in a certain style, immersing guests into another world created by you. In some areas especially worth paying attention at registration: arch-site registration, the Presidium of the newlyweds, guest tables, ceiling, buffet area and candy bar, photo zone at the banquet (thematic banner or something else).

The atmosphere is created in addition to the large areas of various little things and nuances - small presents (candy boxes for the guests: if you do a wedding in rustic style, in small pots, you can give money tree seedlings, or tree of happiness), the original book wishes seating plan and so on.

10. Think of transport by which you move and where you appear in front of guests.
This is another important nuance of the wedding. Agree, a strange and stupid to come newlyweds in modern cars for a holiday in the Russian style or retro wedding. Transport should be given special attention, because It is not only a spectacular appearance in front of guests and the newlyweds a thematic element of the photo shoot, but it is also a means of transportation, and to do long journeys on horseback or old car is not prudently and properly, in terms of time spent.

Therefore, effective transport is usually waiting for you is closer to the place of the banquet, you can spend a little photo shoot with him and go to the guests.

11. Be sure to organize a Welcome-area with entertainment for guests.
At the banquet, which features more than 30 minutes of newly-married couple, you need to think about entertainment, in this case - the case. It was at this wedding Zone Welcome desired item script. After all, in this time period, guests get used to the mood of the holiday, plunged through entertainment and the overall atmosphere charged with fun and positive.

For example, at a wedding in the style of "Alice in Wonderland" for the guests can have a tournament of cricket, and at a wedding in the style of "Gestbi" or "Chicago" book visiting the casino, and the winning chips offer to exchange for gifts. In the area Welcome must always be at least 2-3 different activities for guests of nature, so that everyone can find something for everyone.

Sample content Welcome-Zone:
1) reception (this can be a chocolate fountain and visiting cocktail bar, and a bar with fresh fruit and berries, candy-bar),
2) wishes of the book in an interesting format,
3) a master class (micromagic from the magician, forged coins, create their own flavor, etc.)
4) active, competitive area (mini-golf, a casino, X-box),
5) recording interviews or memorable photos (fotobudka, Polaroid, flip-booth).
At sea, you can give the wedding guests a small map with bays that they have to go and get a special prize. All entertainment should be as the notes of a total harmonious melody of your holiday.

12. Select the supplementary budget for entertainment.
So we got to direct the celebration of the wedding. The program must be corrected, and to discuss with the host, it must necessarily be a theme, and this means that some traditions it may simply not fit, or you can make some alternatives. It is important to specify all the nuances, because the French Russian wedding loaf - a strangeness and absurdity. For themed wedding also better reflect the original style of the first dance of the newlyweds, after the first dance is also a part of the wedding show. The real decoration of the program may be original genre artists who approach the concept of the evening.

For example, at the wedding, "Hipsters" can not do without a jazz band in the style of Russian retro or school dances with professional dancers and master classes, as well as animators in the images of a party worker, a speculator with bright tie and jacket in lipsticks, etc. On themed wedding is always necessary to allocate a budget for additional artists is invited to make the holiday accommodation so vivid and unusual that guests remember for a long time afterwards about what he saw, and interactive competitions and master, in this case, support the mood. Without additional artists can do, but the holiday will be less bright and spectacular.

13. Hire a person responsible for monitoring the fulfillment of all claims and compliance with the timing of the day.
As you can see, themed wedding - a huge mechanism of various bolts to all of them worked properly, without knocking watch the wedding, you simply vital coordinator. You can not control all the wedding items: registration, marriage registration, a program of artists. And if suddenly there will be some covers, the coordinator will help to get out of the situation without loss of time and unnecessary worries.

If you do not contact the agency for the preparation of a themed wedding, and organize everything yourself, after you have decided over the listed items, get coordinator and loyal to him all the information: the timing plan, contact the staff. He went on with all the associated, said the details of the wedding day and takes full control over. Do not expect a holiday in this format on their strength - in which case you just can not relax!

14. Plan a themed wedding is not less than 3 months.
If your wedding is a month, maximum two, and you do not plan to contact the organizers, you'd better abandon the idea of ​​a themed wedding. Have a professional organizers and wedding agencies there is already a huge number of contractors who need a hand out assignments.

In your case, however long it takes an independent search specialists, with whom you must meet, and sometimes more than once. If you are free from work and other responsibilities, it is possible in a short time to make a quality holiday, otherwise 90% of what you do not have time to implement, and half of their creative ideas, as well as incredibly tired.
