Provinces

Many registry offices in the regions also practice “semi-official” painting (that is, with an employee traveling to the ceremony site) only in the summer months.

But here the situation changes every year, so making any forecasts before January of the year for which you planned the wedding is pointless.

It is better for residents of the province to decide how to organize on-site registration by contacting the registry office of their city.

If you are refused at one registry office, do not despair - the management of another may be more loyal and will agree to register you outside the registry office without any problems.

Decoration of the ceremony venue

In the warm season, you can hold the ceremony outside, but in low temperatures, the idea of ​​combining a banquet and registration area is relevant.

How to decorate with your own hands on the street

Choose a beautiful green lawn in a park or forest. If possible, the scene could be a beach or waterfront.

In case of bad weather, provide tents, but the best option is to organize one large tent.

an arch in the center of the selected area , which can be made of fabric, flowers or balls. The combination of these elements also looks beautiful. For a “village” wedding, a stepladder, an old wardrobe or a bookshelf can serve as an arch. For a celebration in the Slavic style, you should choose a Russian stove.

Arch made of translucent fabric and flowers

Don't forget about the table for the presenter , on which the folder for the marriage certificate and other necessary things will be placed. A wine barrel or an ordinary table covered with a beautiful fabric will do. The one with forging elements on a high leg also looks impressive.

Barrel-shaped table

Next, we decide on places for guests . They can be seated on benches, chairs, haystacks or even beautiful sofas. In any case, you will most likely need drapery fabric. To complement it, choose bows that are attached to the backs of chairs. Typically, chairs are placed on two sides, one row should consist of 3-5 seats. Leave at least 0.5 meters between them for free passage of guests.

Benches for guests without drapery fabric

Pay due attention to the design of the path along which the bride and groom will walk to the “altar”. If the covering is tiled, you can simply sprinkle it with rose or lily petals. If there is sand or soil in the recording area, cover the area with a long path. Choose the color according to your taste or in accordance with the chosen theme of the celebration.

Path of white petals

Also take care of flower arrangements . On the sides of the path, place stands with stucco for vases with flowers. Place pots or baskets with tulips, roses, orchids, etc. on them.

Original indoor wedding decoration

There is no fundamental difference in the design of the registration area indoors and outdoors. You will also need flowers, drapery fabric, and a runner.

Decoration of a Protestant church, in the same spirit you can decorate any room

The advantage is that in this case you can use the walls. Attach flower crowns, garlands, balloons, and parrot cages to them. Paper garlands stretched under the ceiling also look very beautiful.

A bright banner with the names of the bride and groom, the letters “Love”, “Love”, “Family”, etc. will help add a special touch to the celebration.

Stretch on the wall

candy bar both outdoors and indoors .

It is best to place a table with treats against the wall, on which it would be nice to hang a sign with the name “Candy bar”. Here you can fix a rope on which long strips of fabric will be strung.

Candy bar

Guests will be able to refresh themselves at the candy bar before the banquet begins. Place thick multi-colored candles, glasses of champagne or other drinks, and cupcakes on the table. Don't forget about vases with sweets, nuts, and fruits. The main decoration of the wedding banquet – the cake – can also stand here.

What can you save on?

You don't have to rent a luxury car at all. A beautifully decorated Nissan Murano or Toyota Corolla will give it worthy competition.

Wedding dresses can be rented. Not many people can afford to buy a chic wedding dress, but rental budget will allow it.

Restaurant expenses are an item that can be seriously cut. It’s better to do the decoration of the hall yourself, doing everything to your liking. A restaurant in the city center requires more expenses than the same establishment, but on the outskirts.

A weekday wedding day will reduce the wedding budget, since the payment increases on weekends. The season also affects wedding expenses: in warm weather, the banquet can be held outside.

How to create a photo zone

If you want to provide your guests and yourself with vivid emotions, organize a photo corner. For this, 10 sq.m. is enough. You can place on them:

• a beautiful sofa or sofa, but if we are talking about an eco-wedding, a haystack covered with fabric will do;
• a neat table or wooden boxes, randomly stacked on top of each other;
• a banner with flowers, picture frames, signs with various inscriptions;
• wicker fence;
• flower pots;
• bike;
• a replica of a car, next to which there is a sign with the inscription “On a family voyage”;
• carts;
• old, shabby doors;
• bookcases and more. etc.

Decor of candles and candelabra

Decorating candles is considered the key to a happy and family life. Modern models of these products differ in their shapes and sizes. In cases are they used?

The most popular are considered:

• Dance of the young. Miniature candles are installed around the perimeter of the hall;
• Formation of a new cell. For this purpose, large candles are used, symbolizing the emergence of a new family union. They should be set on fire by the parents of the bride and groom.

Thanks to candles, it is possible to create a comfortable and warm atmosphere in the celebration area. Designers advise combining a burning hearth with floral arrangements and additional decorations in the form of large beads, feathers and satin ribbons.

Buffet

The buffet awaits guests outside the marriage registration hall: in a room specially designated for this purpose or outdoors. You can skip this part of the celebration if immediately after the registry office everyone goes to the banquet hall of the selected restaurant. If there is a long period of time between painting and dinner, guests should be pampered with modest snacks.

Advice! For an outdoor buffet, don't forget to take trash bags. Even on a holiday, you cannot remember the cleanliness of your hometown.

You can entrust the preparation of the buffet to a catering company, but it is cheaper to arrange a small snack yourself. For the buffet you will need symbolic treats: sandwiches, sweets, fruit and champagne. Don't forget that there are often small children among the guests. You should prepare juice or baby champagne for them.

You can place the snack on the hood of the car or on the parapet. There is no need to bring expensive dishes. Disposable cups and plates are fine.

After the buffet reception, the newlyweds go on a festive walk around the city.

A few points to consider

When choosing to register outdoors, keep a few points in mind:

1. The presence of a restaurant, cafe or banquet hall nearby, provision of electricity and, as a result, music.
2. Backup plan B in case of unexpected weather conditions. Agree on a canopy or tent with the organizers in advance so as not to get into an unpleasant situation when a strong wind suddenly rises or it rains.
3. Consider in advance the availability of industrial insect repellents - mosquitoes, flies, wasps. Unfortunately, no one canceled this “trifle”, and if this point is not taken into account, the celebration will be ruined.

Taking into account all aspects, an alternative option for on-site registration could be a banquet hall in a hotel, already fully decorated from “A” to “Z” - with tables, chairs, and podium decorated in a certain theme.

Here they usually install an arch with a path and allocate a place for a photo zone, filled with various thematic attributes. This is where a great family photo session is held.

Varieties of arch design

There are several types of wedding arch shapes and a huge number of options for decorating them.

First, let's look at the main types of arch designs:

• arcuate;
• rectangular;
• quadrangular with roof;
• heart-shaped;
• alcove.

To decorate all types of arches considered, garlands of fresh and artificial flowers, combinations of fabrics of different textures and colors, various ribbons, bows and decorative elements made of tulle are used.

The decoration uses balloons and artificial butterflies, which are associated with the fulfillment of wishes.

In India they believe that if you whisper your wish to a butterfly, it will carry it to the sky on its wings, and it will certainly come true. In many countries around the world, after making a wish, a balloon is released into the sky.
