What kind of wedding form is more meaningful?

The busy wedding is finally over. The ceremony is very simple. Only 60 guests were invited, half of them were family members and half were close friends who grew up together. They are the people who know me best and care about me most in the world.

I told my little brother when I was planning the wedding. In fact, I never liked the wedding of hundreds of China people around the hotel round table. Everyone doesn't know each other and cares about each other. After lunch, I gave some money and left. As a participant, I feel very lonely.

The most ideal ceremony must be in spring, on the lawn at sunset on Saturday evening, and Beijing with catkins is the most authentic. Friends and relatives have arrived in Beijing from Paris, Toulouse, Vancouver, Seoul, Busan, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Changsha. In the evening, they lit candles, exchanged vows and rings, tearful kisses and hugs, gratitude and love are a long story. Then let's dance, take out our usual collection of good wine and swing with the band until late at night with the people we like.

The foundation of transnational marriage is that both families need to be open enough to respect each other's culture and values. I have always been grateful to my parents for their tolerance and education, living independently and doing what I like. They never mentioned such a thing as a bride price, nor did they intervene in any wedding details. My parents' attitude is enough to show their trust and respect for us.

This is likely to be an unconventional wedding. No bridesmaids and bridesmaid dresses. The best man and bridesmaid group is basically composed of married people and minors. They are our truest friends and family. Just wear the same color and your favorite clothes. For example, my banana sister wears a greasy head and a white suit to make herself more beautiful.

A long time ago, my vision for the wedding was that I wanted a retro feeling of all wood. I asked two wedding planning companies in Beijing, and the whole set of quotations started at 50,000 yuan (it was said that it was arranged by one hand, including helping you choose some ugly Taobao gifts).

Later, I accidentally entered an appointment, and the price design of the wedding package (host+photography+camera+makeup+floral) was more reasonable. When I meet an activity or consultant who especially wants to take your case, I will also give lighting, floral upgrade and other services. Compared with other high-end planning companies, Youyue's staff and service attitude are very enthusiastic.

Fortunately, I have an appointment to upgrade all my projects and help me to hire a very good camera teacher, the best bilingual host in Beijing.

I'm more concerned with the details of the wedding. I have to buy table paper and table runner as small as the table, so after giving the general direction to Nana, the wedding planner, I enjoy the time of Taobao and Haitao props in the middle of the night every day.

In the field construction, about 1 1,500 meters of string lights and about 1 1,000 candles were used, and other headlights were built. There is no problem with the lighting and photos of the wedding at night.

location

Beijing fuloufa restaurant

Fulou, a century-old Paris brand, has a very good reputation and service in Beijing. Violet, the marketing manager, is very dedicated and professional. Every communication in the past six months has confirmed that holding a wedding here is our best choice. In addition to having a pleasant exchange with the staff here, the decoration in the restaurant is also retro in Paris. There was not much decoration in the room on the wedding day. It was really beautiful.

The restaurant chooses crimson with dark wood decoration. You should still like this photo when you look at it in ten years. No matter how you change it, you can't stop loving retro things.

I tried it twice and finally got the set meal. Considering that the appetites and taste preferences of male and female guests may be different, I asked the chef to cook two sets of dinners specially. The main course for girls is Icelandic flounder (my personal favorite), and the main course for boys is French favorite roast duck leg with foie gras.

In fact, our wedding thoughts are all about eating, drinking and drinking. A wedding with good wine, good meat and good friends is the most perfect. Among them, 20 bottles of champagne and ice wine were brought back from France and Canada by relatives and friends, full of true love.

It's interesting to marry a Frenchman at FLO restaurant. Surrounded by French friends and delicious food, French managers and chefs came to congratulate them and brought champagne with them. The atmosphere didn't realize that they were still in Beijing. Also, the photographer took a cute picture of my little brother.

wedding dress

Brand: Pronovias

Rent from: Sese Wedding Kingdom

My expectation for the wedding dress is simple and lace-free, and it should be suitable for lawn activities. Therefore, according to this expectation, it is really difficult to buy wedding dresses in China, so we can only choose some foreign brands.

SeSe Wedding Kingdom in Blueport has a large storefront, which is convenient to provide one-stop services from dresses to wedding planning. The choice of brand styles at home and abroad is rich, which is more suitable for people like me who don't like shopping around and only believe in love at first sight. The rental package price is also reasonable. My handmade Spanish Pronovias wedding dress rental+little brother's dress customization is about 10 thousand.

Although many girls think that once they get married, they should customize and buy their own wedding dress. However, I insist that buying a foreign wedding dress in China is too uneconomical. Seeing a favorite Oscar de la renta in a wedding dress shop in Guo Mao costs hundreds of thousands, or finding a domestic high-definition brand to spend 30,000 to 40,000 to customize a wedding dress may not be high. Many so-called original styles are also copied from foreign designs.

Foreign countries can buy a beautiful latest Pronovias for 2000-4000 euros, and this price is suitable for purchase. However, it is actually the most ideal choice to find a place with reasonable price in China and rent a foreign high-definition wedding dress.

This backless wedding dress looks very simple, but the petals and pearls on it are all hand-embroidered. The high waist skirt is slim and the yarn is light and close-fitting, which is suitable for lawn wedding. It is said that this Pronovias wedding dress has been in the store for so long that it is the first time for me to rent it, because most girls prefer traditional lace dresses. I've tried many styles before, such as fishtail skirt, which is not wear-resistant and can't open my legs at all, nor can a tube-top fluffy skirt, because there is no chest! Therefore, a fitted wedding dress must be comfortable to wear and can cover up its shortcomings.

I didn't buy my own wedding dress in Beijing because I had a wedding. After accumulating this experience, I will save all my patience and surprises for the church wedding in Germany the year after next:)

Grace & Daniel (male name)

Our wedding band actually plays a duet for part-time couples. Grace is the lead singer and Daniel is in charge of the accompaniment. Our cocktail party after the ceremony and the after-dinner party depend on them all night.

At that time, under the introduction of friends in the Philippines, I met the couple who sang in Schindler's Weekend in Sanlitun. Compared with those foreign bands managed by brokers, the couple who are interested in music have stronger preheating ability and affinity, and we are lucky to meet them.

My German mother-in-law keeps jumping, so cute ~ On the wedding day, everyone's dress code is: girls wear white, and boys just wear suits. In fact, wedding photography is the most taboo for guests to wear too fancy clothes, and white photography has a good effect.

Small article

I make candy boxes into snack boxes. I love French elephant tea bags and German Ritter Sport chocolates, so I will let my parents-in-law bring them back from Europe. In addition, I added some Japanese marshmallows, ultra-mini Tic Tac, Loacker wafer cookies, jujube cakes and Haribo bear marshmallows. Anyway, the snacks in each box are different ~

The menu on the dining table is customized with the guest's name written on it. The advantage of a small wedding is that you can be careful everywhere.

Many kinds of wine were prepared at the wedding. At the cocktail party after the ceremony, everyone began to drink champagne and Canadian iced wine. When eating, boys use red wine with roast duck legs, and girls use white wine with flounder. After the banquet, Sangria sparkling wine, champagne and Armagnac wine were prepared, which are the specialties of southwest France. This bottle of Armaniak in the picture is also a customized collector's edition of our name. We have been very careful in the preparation and selection of wine, and everyone is happy to drink it.

For jewelry, I actually love Japanese design brands. When I got married, I finally chose Tasaki. My brother's is a platinum ring, and mine is a semi-circular broken diamond, which was bought from Tasaki International Trade Store.

Actually, we went to see the wedding ring after my brother proposed in Kyoto last year. We especially like a wedding ring brand called Ahkah. Unfortunately, Ahkah has no shop in China and does not support any mailing. He asked to fly back to Japan a month later to get the ring himself. Next time I have the opportunity to write an article about my little brother's pleasure in proposing marriage in Japan and the Japanese wedding ring brand. )

I remember when I first met my little brother, it rained heavily and we were trapped in Starbucks in the southwest of Shuangjing for 4 hours. Then I told my banana that this was the first time I had an overwhelming affection for a boy. This kind of love and happiness continues to this day, and every time I think of living with each other for a generation, I can't help but raise my mouth.

Sometimes happiness comes from practicing deeply enough, taking so many detours, suffering so many grievances and finally meeting the right person. Then, please give me more advice for the rest of my life.
