Weddings are memorable events, and as such should be treated as part memorable personal event and part theater. The theater shouldn’t be for other people, although it is important that they have a lovely time for the wedding to be a success, it should primarily be for you, the bride, and your groom in kind.
The magic of your wedding starts as soon as you set the date. From the very first step, when the wedding becomes a reality, you will have an anchor point to orient yourself in action and dedication to making all the planning work together.
With the following tips, the magic of your event will continue, and there are many beautiful ways for this to happen, through all of the planning, right up until the golden day itself.
Invitations
Wedding invitations are a supremely important part of any ceremony. It is a privilege for someone to receive an invitation to a wedding, and it usually means more to them than you know. This is why it’s important for the wedding invites to be custom made, beautiful, and refined. If you like, you can imbue them with no small portion of creative flair, such as including an image of your proposal, or a beautifully rendered calligraphy of your surnames-to-be.
Wedding invitations are much more than simple standard invitations to an everyday event. They serve as memorabilia, heirlooms of the beautiful day you and your betrothed are to experience. If you can, have a few extra made to keep in your records over time, so as you return to those photo albums, you will have a complete and pristine artifact of the magic you were so lucky to experience.
Celebrations
The infamous pre-wedding bachelor and bachelorette parties can be a beautiful and amazing ceremony to experience as opposed to the overly drunken affairs they are usually made out to be. Despite how popular a messy night out with your friends sounds in theory, just think of what else you might be able to extract from this time. Why not spend the money wasted on drinks, takeaway food and taxi’s, and instead apply that to a beautiful weekend getaway with your friends?
Apparel & Individuality
This is your time to truly overdo it with your wear. As this is your wedding day, if you want a long train as opposed to a short train on your dress, you want to wear a crazy amount of flowers in your hair, or you’d like to dye your hair darker before the ceremony, all of these things should be acceptable and can help you feel like that Disney princess that deep down, you truly are.
Separation
When all of the planning is taken into account, the groom should not see the bride before the day of the wedding. It’s considered ‘bad luck’ to, but even if you’re not superstitious in this way, refraining from seeing each other can add a fairytale magic to the whole affair. It builds suspense and makes that first sight of your other half in the place you speak your vows that much more exciting, amazing, and memorable.
These tips can help anyone experience the most magic out of their wedding day as possible. As you open the photobooks when reminiscing with your family for years to come, these tips will help embed those pictures with an almost touchable sense of fairytale magic. What better an event to remember?
