The article contains photos of wedding ceremonies, suggestions and recommendations on the design and organization of wedding celebrations.
The classic version in the registry office
When choosing a place of marriage, it is important to plan the time so that moving in vehicles does not tire the bride and groom. It is better that the place for a walk, the registry office and the restaurant are not far from each other. Thus, time will be saved and it will be possible to spend it profitably. Most registry offices hold ceremonies only on Fridays and Saturdays. On all other days, not solemn registration of marriages is performed, which looks like the formal signing of a “contract”. The bride and groom sign in a book of record of acts in the presence of an official. Relatives and friends can be invited to the ceremony.
When choosing a place and day of registration, it is important to consider what day of the week the wedding ceremony is scheduled. In wedding palaces, unlike ordinary registry offices, a festive event can be held on any day of the week, so if you wish, you can submit documents to any of these institutions.
When inviting guests to a wedding, it is advisable to specify how many people can accommodate the ceremonial hall. After all, the halls of some registry offices may simply not be roomy. The average limit on the number of guests is 25-30 people.
After submitting the application, at least one month must pass before the marriage is concluded, in accordance with the law. But in special cases, under certain circumstances, an exception can be made.
Restaurant wedding
In the banquet room of the restaurant you can sit in any weather. When planning a wedding on the street, it is impossible to know for sure what the weather will be like on the street. On this significant day, the celebration in the restaurant will be pleasant and cozy.
Professional restaurant chefs prepare a variety of dishes with which you can treat the guests of the celebration and enjoy the newlyweds themselves. Wedding organizers can choose a special menu for every taste.
The selection of musical accompaniment, host and photographer are very important stages, the mood of guests and the atmosphere of the whole holiday will depend on them. It’s better not to save on a photographer, because photographs should remain as a memory of such a solemn event for many years. Experienced specialists make portrait or staged photos of the bride and groom, collective photos, as well as videos.
An important element of the celebration is a beautifully decorated room. The design of the hall itself can look as you like, and you can choose the right decorations for it and design it again to your liking, or choose from ready-made options that the designers offer.
Outdoor wedding
An outdoor wedding ceremony involves organizing events in nature, outside the city or in a park. The general style of the celebration depends on the time of year, weather and the chosen place.
A wedding in nature has several advantages:
- Unlimited territory.
- There is no time frame for a banquet.
- Fresh air.
- The original ceremony, no doubt, will be remembered by all participants for a long time.
In nature, you can let pigeons, balloons, arrange fireworks.
Unfortunately, adverse weather conditions can overshadow the celebration. And insects in the warm season can greatly spoil the mood.
A wedding ceremony in the cold season is hardly worth holding in nature. It is wiser to arrange it in a hotel or restaurant. You should not keep guests in the cold for a long time. In the elite hotel, which looks solemn and rich, the bride and groom can hold a photo shoot, and at this time, guests will be waiting in the banquet room for the arrival of the newlyweds with snacks and drinks. Good hotels will be rewarded with a great impression and aesthetic pleasure, and the pictures will also be magnificent.

The celebration can take place on the seashore, in the forest, in a medieval castle, in a restaurant, on a ship and many more. Ideally, if a picturesque, uninhabited place without extraneous noise will be chosen for the event.
The ceremony is not tied to the registry office, and therefore the bride and groom themselves choose the time and day of the wedding. Photographers will have more time to capture important moments, and the bride and groom will tell each other all the cherished words. At such ceremonies, the number of guests may not be limited, as well as the size of the hall. Room decoration and decor remain the choice of the bride and groom. For the wedding ceremony, you can choose a country cottage, having decided the issue with the place of rest and a photo shoot. This will allow you to enjoy a wonderful day and not worry about time and travel.
