Make more of your wedding with a few little things
wedding tips
It's the magical moments that make the memory of such a wonderful day even more beautiful. At these moments, everyone stops and just enjoy the moment.
To build these unforgettable moments into the wedding day, there are a lot of "special effects" on the market. From inexpensive to exclusive alternatives - you will find everything here.
rose petals:
We'll start with what is probably the most romantic: the leaves of the rose petals.
Especially after the wedding ceremony, the leaves of the rose blossoms can easily seduce the unbelievable feeling of having just got married.
But the snapshots also look fantastic in the photos!
Especially when the guests are waiting outside in a trellis, they look forward to greeting you as a newlywed couple with the rose petals.
Possible uses:
– when leaving the church or the registry office
– directly after the free wedding
– at the bridal couple shooting
– when entering the location
Rice:
The tradition of throwing rice at the bride and groom when leaving the church or the registry office comes from Asia. There the rice stands as a symbol of life and fertility.
Thus, the guests wish the bridal couple a happy marriage with many children while throwing rice.
However, in some communities and registry offices it is not welcomed or even forbidden to carry out this tradition. This is related to the time-consuming cleaning and attracts pigeons and rats.
Therefore, just ask the pastor or registry office beforehand if it is okay.
Possible uses:
– when leaving the church or the registry office (but beware: not allowed everywhere)
– directly after the free wedding
– when entering the location
soap bubbles:
A good alternative to the rose petals and rice are the soap bubbles.
If bubble guns, bubble machine or Bubble Tube – anything goes if there are a lot of soap bubbles.
However, the tubes have the advantage that the guests are involved and also have a lot of fun.
Possible uses:
– when leaving the church or the registry office
– directly after the free wedding
– when entering the location
– at the bridal couple shooting
- at the wedding dance
confetti cannons:
The confetti cannons are also a crazy eye-catcher, party mood maker and simply a beautiful "special effect" on the wedding photos and in the wedding video.
If gold, silver, gold Silver, multicoloured, heart , butterfly or rose petal shape – it just looks fantastic! 2 - 4 cannons are completely sufficient!
These, too, are not welcomed everywhere. The confetti is not so easy to clean, especially on the cobblestones.
However, for example in the locations it is less of a problem, especially if you leave a tip for the cleaning staff. 😉
Possible uses:
– when leaving the church or the registry office (but beware: not allowed everywhere)
– directly after the free wedding
– at the bridal couple shooting
– when entering the location
- at the wedding dance
Streamers and air trunks:
Another alternative would be streamers (e.g. in gold, silver or white) and air trunk, if they fit the concept of your wedding.
The advantage here is that you can collect them again quickly compared to the confetti.
Possible uses:
– when leaving the church or the registry office (but beware: not allowed everywhere)
– directly after the free wedding
– at the bridal couple shooting
– when entering the location
- at the wedding dance
ice fountains:
Before you start cutting your beautiful wedding cake, you have the opportunity to pause for a moment.
To give the wedding cake the finishing touch, there are the ice fountains Marvelous. It looks great in the photos and you too have a moment to enjoy the beautiful sight and atmosphere.
However, not every cake is suitable for this, as there are many options in addition to the classic shape. But there will be an extra post on that soon.
If you don't want to attach the ice fountains to the cake, but would still like to build them in, you can place a few muffins or something similar around it and stick them in there. It will be worth it!
Of course we can also incorporate a few of them into the short bridal couple shooting in the evening!
Possible uses:
- at your wedding cake
– at the bridal couple shooting
Sparklers:
Especially at the wedding dance, the sparklers create a great and romantic atmosphere.
But beware: many couples make the mistake of getting the usual short sparklers that only burn for 60 seconds. You have to keep in mind that at a wedding party it takes a while before everyone gets the sparklers lit. As soon as they are on, the first ones are already burning in the last few puffs. The enjoyment is far too short.
That's why we recommend you giant sparklers to get. These have a burning time of 90 seconds, but you definitely felt a lot longer!
Possible uses:
– at the bridal couple shooting
- at the wedding dance
- in the trellis when leaving the location, if you retire earlier before the party is over
glow sticks:
An alternative to sparklers are glow sticks, as long as they suit you and your wedding concept.
Especially when there are a lot and each guest holds at least one in their hand, they also conjure up a beautiful and colorful atmosphere.
In addition, glasses, headbands, etc. can be made after the wedding dance, which can underline the party atmosphere.
Possible uses:
- at the wedding dance
- at the party
- in the trellis when leaving the location, if you retire earlier before the party is over
Ground Fog Machine:
Possible uses:
- at the wedding dance
fire cone:
If you want to move your wedding dance outside, they can cone of fire conjure up beautiful scenery in addition to the giant sparklers and round off the end of your dance.
Possible uses:
– at the wedding dance outside
– Bridal couple photos in the evening
Fireworks:
How nice would it be to start fireworks in the evening dedicated just to the two of you?
There are also different options when it comes to fireworks.
However, more on this topic can be found in a separate article.
