If you don't have a definite opinion on what your wedding should be like, then this article is for you. We hope it helps you make your decision easily.

Budget

Do you have free money to organize a banquet for 70 people?

Undoubtedly, guests and relatives who will come to your wedding will partially compensate your expenses with their gifts, but only partially.

We are talking about free money, and not about the fact that you have to sell a car or something else, take out a loan or go into debt. Is it worth one day, albeit the most beautiful and joyful one, to use the last bit of strength to get money for it, denying yourself something else? And if you have several hundreds of thousands free, wouldn't it be better to buy something useful for your family with them or make a down payment on a mortgage?

Guests

Someone likes big and noisy companies, for someone they cause something like panic. Do you want to feel like real stars among the sea of ​​fans?

Often parents of young people insist on big wedding they say, “it’s accepted”, “relatives will be offended,” but you should always remember that this day is only yours, and only you can decide how and in what company you want to spend it.

Then of course big wedding Is your option. You can invite both relatives from distant cities, and all colleagues at work. This will be yours finest hour, because they will all gather for your holiday.

In the case when the bride and groom are literally allergic to increased attention to their persons, a chic banquet will only be a burden. Imagine, because the whole evening you will have to not only sit at the head of the table, but also take pictures with everyone, and kiss in front of hundreds of people.

Ceremony

A luxurious wedding with many guests means that you will be celebrating it in hometown... It is quite difficult to take 70 people somewhere abroad, even if they will pay for their travel and accommodation on their own.

"Wedding for two" gives where more options for a beautiful wedding ceremony.

Most likely, you will still have to officially sign the documents and put stamps in the registry office of your city, but these are little things. By the way, having decided on a ceremony in another country, you will successfully combine a wedding and a honeymoon trip!

You can go to an exotic country and take part in some amazing rite when the bride and groom are decorated with wreaths or garlands of flowers.

Or travel to Europe and get married in one of the magnificent town halls. You can even go to Las Vegas, and there, as you know, young people are offered
many of the most interesting options to cement their union. For instance, wedding ceremony can be held by the king of rock - Elvis Presley!

Time to prepare

A big holiday will require a lot of time, effort and nerves to prepare. Few brides (namely, they are most often picky about trifles) manage to do without a sedative on these hot days.

There are cases when, on the night before the wedding, the heroine of the holiday sewed tablecloths for the guest tables so that everything was perfect. Although, if you look at all this from the other side, the anticipation of the holiday is often better than the holiday itself. And all these chores, no matter how difficult and nervous they are, are still pleasant. In addition, you can spend more time with your mom and girlfriends, choosing a dress, decorations for tables and cars, and other attributes.

Undoubtedly, there will be no such excitement around a modest wedding. Ordering a table in a restaurant and submitting an application to the registry office is not even a matter of one day, but of several hours. So, if you have absolutely no time to prepare or you are not ready to go through a full-fledged pre-wedding jitter, then a modest celebration is the best way out.

However, there is another option that is becoming more and more popular - to invite a wedding organizer. A real professional in this area will solve almost all issues: he will help you choose a restaurant and call the administration himself, suggest and invite the best presenters and artists of the city, advise organizations that decorate the halls.

All that remains for the bride and groom is to clearly articulate their wishes about what their best day should look like.

Together with your loved one, you have to carefully consider all the pros and cons, so that later there would be no bitter experiences that this fabulous day did not go as you wanted.

Wedding Dress

Main guests

No matter how modest your wedding is, you should not forget about your loved ones. Even at the most modest wedding, attention should be paid to the parents. Invite them and give them the opportunity to congratulate you on this important event in your life.

And we didn’t want to waste ourselves on trifles, especially since we had lived for 3 years and did beautiful wedding, but only for relatives, friends did not even know!

Bought rings with bryulli, they sewed the dress of my dreams (no lush dresses I didn't want to!), they also dressed up the groom.

We ordered a vip room in a beautiful restaurant and on 07/29/11 right after solemn registration went to a photo session in beautiful park... We save up the rest of the money for an apartment. In a couple of days we set off on a trip.

Oh yes, a week before we got married friends, where I caught for the first time in my life bouquet and husband suspension

This day will be remembered for a long time, regardless of the budget.

I wish you success in this business!

Yes, we have decided unequivocally that the wedding will be ours, not relatives and friends))) You are great, you look great!

Marfushenka-Dushenka, after painting, we traveled around the monuments, then our family celebrated in a cafe ... and with friends on the lake shashalyki and booze

we will also go after the painting for a photo session, and then we plan to go to a good restaurant, since we have a day of painting on Wednesday)) Everything will be free, I mean cafes and restaurants)))

My husband and I were also supporters of arranging a modest wedding because we had lived together for a long time before. They only wanted parents and everyone, because there is not much money. Well, instead of being happy for her son, the mother-in-law threw a tantrum and ruined the whole holiday, as she would not show that her son was getting married. And our opinion was not at all interested in the main thing as she says so be it. So I regret not having done the wedding like ms.Kristi. It would be possible to return everything. I did everything differently. Well, the most important thing is that we are together, and the rest is nonsense. I wish you strong family happiness and love each other! And the kids are a must!

Oh, these mother-in-law. My husband forbade me to speak to my relatives! He says they are easy-going, they will all screw up ...))) Thank you for your wishes !!! And to you love, happiness, all the best!

We arranged such a day for two in June. We had some photos in front of the registry office, inside ... well, and then a little after the ceremony. We rode around the city together, drove to work, there they congratulated us (we work in the same company), rode around the city a little more (with champagne) and went to a restaurant. And after a little more we wandered around the city center, recalled our early years(we have known each other since the end of 2005, and there are a lot of memories with walks in the center).

It was just super !!! I never wanted a pretentious wedding. Since childhood, I dreamed of a short wedding dress))))

and the next day we gathered the parents for a family dinner at home, cooked ourselves. The parents met right there)))

We, too, will be modest, only for ourselves. I go to forums, I read who and how they celebrated weddings, some are out of their way, but they just gather crowds of guests, get into debt, on loans ... they buy some unthinkable outfits ...))) No, okay if money is extra, but some do not have it, but there too))
