How to make the right choices to organize a perfect wedding

“ But if it’s the first time I’m getting married, how do I know what to do? “

I’m sure you’ve thought this sentence too, at least once until now.

What are the steps to follow, assuming there is a specific order, what are the costs to be faced and where to start?

These are the initial doubts when deciding how to start in organizing the wedding.

How much confusion will there be in your head?

Now I will not dwell on the criteria for evaluating suppliers and their proposals – indeed, for this aspect I invite you to read the post dedicated to the subject – but I will tell you how often we find ourselves having to make more general decisions.

Before even starting a real search, stop for a moment.Grab a pen and paper, close your eyes and try to think carefully about what you have been dreaming of since you were a child and what it represents to you.Maybe you have already shared it with your boyfriend and together you have already dreamed of what you would like to achieve – and perhaps you have even discussed some details a bit -.

It is only after you have a clearer idea of ​​the place, the context, the type of party, that you can make the best choices that will reflect all these fundamental aspects.

Think about it: how can you think of finding the perfect location for you if you haven’t even imagined it yet ?

Today’s market is able to offer you any solution you are looking for ! In fact, you will find some that you can’t even remotely imagine right now.

My role in this case is fundamental, I am here to help the couple to evaluate together everyone and the pros and cons of each choice.

It will be easier for you (compared to other brides who do it independently) because, after having told me all the details, the search and selection of suppliers and professionals – who are right for you – will initially be up to me, so you will have to choose among a range of proposals, already filtered, that reflect your tastes and your budget.

And then what can help you will be the time at our disposal: the element that allows you to choose with the right calm.

This is the reason why I always advise to leave early (usually about a year earlier) and not to postpone until tomorrow what we can already do today – as long as it is done wisely.

Being ahead of a deadline does not generate anxiety, on the contrary, it charges us and gives us enthusiasm.

You enter that pleasant “vortex” from which it is almost a shame to leave once the preparations have been completed.

Not to mention how many unforeseen events we can avoid if we play in advance, we prevent them and, in the worst case scenario, we have all the time necessary to manage them in the best possible way.

So, in conclusion, even for the management of the preparations the right approach is to “let yourself go”: dreaming and imagining are not just beautiful words that you will often hear in the “world of weddings”. It is a real starting point to start the selection and arrive at the result you have always wanted.

How I organize a vintage style wedding

In Maryland, between the hills and the plain full of fields and rice fields, I found the perfect combination of landscapes, structures, the atmosphere that reigns and one of my favorite styles for the preparation of the wedding.

How I approached this style

I’ve always had a passion for objects that have a story to tell, it’s stronger than me.

My husband and I have fun discussing this because I would spend my days among the antiques markets, while he prefers objects with a modern and ultra-colorful design.

After a few years of experience in my sector and after having been able to experiment with various types of set-ups, I naturally oriented myself towards what satisfies me most, amuses me and represents me.

What you need to set up in a vintage style

What I like most about this style is being able to mix many elements with each other, oscillating in multiple declinations (such as the cousin ” Boho style “, different for some things but similar for others), because there are more genres depending on the era of belonging (20s – 50s – 70s).

The “highlight objects” that I use often and willingly are:

typewriterphonegramophonebooks, papers and old postcardstin cans and bottlescameras

and in addition to objects, I really like to recreate sets with pieces of furniture such as armchairs, rugs, bedside tables, mirrors and trolleys.

 Risks to avoid: too much is good

I am not a “total-vintage-addicted” in the sense that my life is not all like this: I don’t just wear long rust-colored skirts, or lace and lace, nor do I have a retro haircut, indeed, I love everything that glitters, I go crazy for everything that is golden, yet there is something inside me that makes me fascinated by everything that bears witness to a past life.

In fact, from the photos of the weddings that I make you can see it.

Maybe it’s because I don’t like to exaggerate, I always tend to dose well the style, a theme or a color, so that it is not heavy, neither in the personal aspect, nor in the design of the wedding.

How to recreate a vintage atmosphereI told in this previous post how the style must be present – although in my opinion well measured – even with everything else (location, flowers, dresses,…).Vintage is therefore not a collection of ancient objects placed here and there.It is a very delicate style, which must be taken care of, but pretending to do it in a casual and sometimes almost “messy” way.As always, before taking action, a precise design can help you, through a moodboard or, why not, a personalized consultation.Try to evaluate these two hypotheses, even with the preparations underway, and find out what I created with my couples for their wedding day (vintage).

3 tips to find out where to start your wedding preparations

Do not start the search for the location, do not contact the photographer to ask him for his rate card, do not book the wedding dress trial if you do not yet know what you can or want to achieve.

Among the most important choices to make when starting the organization of the wedding, as I told you in the previous post, there is to think in depth what kind of wedding yours will be.

First of all, you have to work with your imagination.

Do you remember when you were a child?

Try again, but don’t stop dreaming only of the dress of your dreams.

Start with the style, which must reflect your couple: who you are and what you like.

It is he who will help you to filter all the other searches you will do.

Let me explain: if your tastes lead you to dream of a rustic wedding it will be useless to evaluate the proposal of an ancient and royal castle or a modern and baroque location.

Even the photos, and the video, will have to respect your style. Even the music! As well as everything else.

It is not just the locations, based on their structure and design, that have a particular characteristic.

Every wedding professional has her own.

In your search you will find photographers or wedding planners specialized in their own specific style and you will immediately realize it, because it is like recognizing a brand, their imprint.

For example, I realize what the spouses ask of me, as they wish, but with a strong inclination to vintage taste, to retro and you will notice it from the photos of my set-ups.

Try starting with these questions:

Where do you want to get married? In a wood, in the green, by the sea?What kind of reception would you like? A big and cheerful party or a more formal banquet?What reflects you the most? Do you prefer to focus on romance or other characteristics?

These are basic questions you need to ask yourself for every detail you are going to evaluate.

Without having first clarified your ideas, you could risk finding yourself choosing a princely dress, wildflowers and a completely inappropriate context.

Everything must follow a precise logical thread (fil rouge) and in addition this “mental scheme” will help you calculate the wedding budget.

How To Choose The Right Paper Textures For Your Brochure Design

If you have planned an advertising campaign for your firm, handing out brochures is a smart and effective way to attract new clients. But how do you choose paper for your brochures so that the quality meets your expectations and the price doesn’t hurt your pocket? In the printing press you can order the production of excellent quality booklets, which will cost inexpensive. But you should understand which paper is used for large orders, and which for small ones. In this article we explain all the basic details of the process. Let’s discuss all in order. First of all, you need to define the purpose of the advertising campaign. Even if you are going to make a relatively small order, depending on the objectives pursued, the right choice can be a paper of varying quality. And it will not always be right to order the cheapest paper. How To Choose The Right Paper Textures For Your Brochure Design?

Types of Paper

Designer paper – serves as a material for high quality products, which rarely include booklets. The highest quality and special texture make it a material for a catalog or magazine rather than for a simple booklet. However, if you need to produce a short run of excellent products for a private exhibition or for distribution to a narrow circle of clients or potential customers, its choice may be justified.Digital printing paper – excellent for printing small and medium-sized batches of booklets, with excellent material properties and excellent appearance. Its quality is inferior to designer paper, but it is the most common choice for booklets.Coated paper is the choice of large orders where it is important to get the largest volume of quality products for a reasonable fee. This is the easiest of all options, however, for wide distribution of booklets in crowded places such paper will be the most correct option. With proper processing, the quality of the products will be quite presentable and solid. About this further.

To begin with, let us draw your attention that a large order should be considered a party of +3000 copies of booklets. How to choose paper for booklets for a large order for a wide audience? Very simple – the right choice will be coated paper with a protective film or lamination. These means will keep the delicate surface of the product from moisture and abrasions, thanks to which the presentable appearance will be preserved for a long time. Glossy lamination will emphasize the brightness of colors, and matte surface keeps the sheets from fingerprints.

Now that you have an initial idea about the choice of materials for booklets, you can calculate the expected variants of the order. If you have difficulty in drawing up an order, simply contact the experts, describing your preferences in detail.

How To Come Up With Ideas

There is often a stupor: you need to come up with a new idea for a website, a favicon, a slogan or an app. But there are no ideas. What to do? How To Come Up With Ideas?

The first way to come up with an idea is morphological analysis

You need to draw a cube, each side of which is divided into 8 small parts. You get a cube that is made up of small other cubes. What to do next? The next thing is to come up with ideas, for example: we want to come up with a new way of getting around. To be able to start from something, we have to specify something. On one edge we write a way of getting around: standing, in a chair, in a hammock, lying down, etc. On another facet, we write the source of energy: wheel, internal combustion engine, electricity, etc. On the next facet, write the medium where we will move – wings, ropes, on the ground, etc.

At the intersection of the sides of the cubes and meet our interest, new combinations and what does not yet exist. Of course there will be repetitive solutions: moving sitting down with a steam engine on the rails is a locomotive. I’m sure this method will give us a chance to look at the problem from a new angle and come up with something new: in one of the cells we’ll find a jet engine device that moves underwater, with people lying on couches. This gives us the idea of underwater travel at high speeds.

Bisociation is a powerful way to come up with new ideas

It’s done this way: you write any 6-7 word answers on the right, taken from a dictionary, newspaper, magazine, or said by a colleague. For example, we need to come up with a new concept for a chair. And we start “colliding” these words with the chair. This may take some time, but it is possible to “birth” a new idea, new material, etc.

Moodboard helps web designers

Looking for an idea, look at the pictures, paste the liked picture in Photoshop, and then add new pictures. So you create a completely new picture. This solves a lot of problems – styling, colors, branding, creates a mutual understanding between the customer and the web designer, etc. It’s cheap and cool! Great way to find lots of new ideas for your work.

Mental maps (mind maps)

In the center you write the required concept, for example – website design, or an online store of nautical things. Then, all the words and associations are written on the sides of the center.  If ideas come up, relative to the association, these words are written on the side of that association. A lot of useful information fits into a minimum of space.

In everyday life, people are hampered by blockages to come up with new ideas. These are blockages of perception, blockages associated with professional activities, cultural blockages associated with place of birth. We need to be aware of them and push the boundaries of blockages.
