Due to the limitation of scale, the color selection and collocation of small weddings are more important. Indeed, generally speaking, warm colors will make the space smaller, but the choice of colors should be determined on the premise of venue conditions and the number of guests. If the banquet is held indoors, due to the limitation of the size and height of the restaurant, the use of strong colors will cause certain visual pressure. You'd better discuss it with the planner.
Use lighter colors, table flowers, decorations and other accessories use bright colors. If you hold a banquet in an open-air green space, there are not so many restrictions. Sometimes, bright colors can bring vitality and tension, making the banquet more colorful.
Create a warm atmosphere at the scene
Because the venue is relatively small, you are in close contact with the guests, so the interactive program will fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm. Let's take a photo with a toast, repeat your wedding vows with everyone, clap rhythmically, and even sing a chorus. All these are good games that can mobilize enthusiasm without much room for activities. Of course, this requires you to communicate well with the host.
Take excellent wedding photos
Don't worry, as long as you have enough details of your party, no matter how small the venue is, you can enrich the wedding photo album. The secret is to emphasize the details of the shooting. Nowadays, most professional wedding photographers pay more attention to the performance of the couple at the wedding. It is understandable that they follow all the movements of the couple at the wedding and never miss a memorable scene. Our opinion is that before the banquet begins, please ask another photographer (or a friend who is interested in photography) to help you photograph the details of the wedding reception. You need to give him a shooting list in advance, which shows all the wedding highlights you think are creative, so as to ensure that you will not miss the wonderful links. Generally speaking, these details include: table flower, door handle flower, flower door, sign-in desk, ceremony desk, greeting card, ring seat, return desk, wedding cake and so on.
Neat and orderly dining area
The first thing to consider is the safety of the wedding venue. Because there is not enough room for activities, we should make thoughtful arrangements as far as possible, so that guests can walk as little as possible and reduce the possibility of accidents. There are two necessary measures that must be arranged in advance: first, expand your space as much as possible, ask the waiter to help you remove all unnecessary cabinets and extra tables and chairs, put the beverage boxes like hills outside the venue, pick up the balloons scattered during the ceremony and take them away ... second, reduce unnecessary decorations. As the venue is not very large, it is suggested that you don't decorate too many decorations in the dining area-table flowers should not be too high and chair flowers should not be used. This will make the guests feel more at ease when they walk around, and they don't have to worry about knocking over anything when they turn around.
Secondly, if there are many people and the space is small, it is best not to use buffet. The traditional way of dining at the table will obviously reduce the chances of guests walking around. Besides, you should prepare a special person to serve drinks and share cakes for the guests, and all things should be done by the service staff, which will not only make your party very orderly, but also make the guests feel that you are thoughtful.
Finally, attract guests' attention with some interesting highlights. It is very clever to set some interesting scenes and guide guests to designated places for activities. You need to observe the venue from multiple angles and record in detail which places can create a warm and interesting atmosphere. Generally speaking, small corners are easy to decorate. You can use your photos to create romantic scenes by inkjet printing, and guests can stand here and take photos; You can also arrange a whole wall with photos of the guests, so that they can find themselves on it and write their blessings.
Finally, I would like to remind you that many couples who hold weddings outdoors will insert many umbrellas in the venue to protect everyone from the sun. Although this practice has a good sunscreen effect, it will affect the visual effect of your wedding photos. It is suggested that seats with umbrellas be placed around the venue for everyone to rest, but it is best to arrange umbrellas in the center of the venue as little as possible to block the line of sight, and it is best to invite everyone out when holding the ceremony. Small venue and big scene
Everyone wants to make a small venue into a big scene, and there are some good ideas to help you realize your dreams. The first is about the arrangement of flowers. Because the space is small, you can make good results with less money. In addition to the ordinary flowers used in the venue, the most important thing is that the flower gate and the bride hold flowers. Let's talk about Huamen first. Also due to the limitation of the venue, the large semi-circular flower gate is obviously not suitable for you. A small, inverted U-shaped flower gate not only highlights the romantic atmosphere but also does not increase the pressure of space. The color of the flower gate should be consistent with the overall tone of the venue on the premise of fresh and elegant.
The bouquet is the focus of the wedding. A small round bouquet may add a lot of color to your wedding. Slightly different, you can choose bright colors and use more flowers to add color to the bride, create rich and exquisite effects and bring fresh and lively atmosphere to the wedding.
As mentioned above, tall and gorgeous table flowers should be used less in the dining area, so how can we make this venue not monotonous? It's a good idea to use small table flowers. Before each guest's plate, there is a small bouquet of bright flowers with his name on it, which will make the guests feel that you attach great importance to him and bring a delicate and romantic feeling. Petals are also indispensable partners, on the table, on the ground, on the dinner plate ... they are like elves at the wedding, no matter where they are placed, they will not appear abrupt and redundant, and will always make your wedding more colorful.
Give me some romantic atmosphere.
Maybe you are already familiar with the ways to create romance, such as sprinkling petals and drinking a glass of wine. Give you some latest and greatest suggestions: some people say that the feeling of hearing is the highest level of romance, so I tell you that the feeling of perfect combination of hearing and vision is the most romantic. Inviting a string band can create a romantic atmosphere more than an ordinary electronic band. The cello plays soothing music, and the violinist shuttles between the guests, stirring the mood of the scene with cheerful music.
More creative than this? Don't miss the romance of smell. A little scent will make people more refreshed. Don't use too much fragrance. A few incense sticks and a touch of perfume lily can achieve the effect. Don't forget to decorate your party with some more practical romance, such as putting out a beautiful big cake and an appetizing snack table. Guests will enjoy romance and their appetite will be fully stimulated. Finally, use a bubble machine at the climax of the ceremony. The fantastic effect will be unforgettable for everyone. In addition to mastering the wind direction in advance, you can also give each guest a bottle of soapy water that can be blown, so that they can also become romantics. Isn't it great?
Wedding props are nothing more than welcome cards, invitations, seat cards, sign-in books, ring clips, gifts and other items. As long as all the props meet the requirements of the wedding venue and color, the wedding will be better set off. At the same time, western-style props are generally more foreign than Chinese ones. For a small wedding, all printed materials should have a unified design, that is to say, complete sets, otherwise the scene will be chaotic. Generally speaking, a kind and casual invitation may be more suitable for a small wedding reception. It reveals the close relationship between you and your guests. You can write your nickname and oral invitation on it. Welcome card can choose your cartoon avatar or some simple and generous designs; The autograph book should also be small and exquisite, which is more in line with the temperament of the whole wedding banquet.
There is an obvious difference between a small wedding and a large wedding, that is, a small wedding needs clear and simple road signs to intuitively tell guests where the bathroom is and where they can receive gifts, so as to avoid unnecessary confusion.
Dress for a small wedding
Perhaps, you think that the guests at the small wedding are the closest people, and you can show the "real" side in front of them. But don't forget, this day is a wedding, and it is the most important ceremony in life. You need to dress up and show everyone your happiness and beauty. This is not only determined by traditional factors, but also the attention and respect for guests. Here are some clothes suitable for small weddings. These valuable experiences will help you to keep beautiful while reducing a lot of trouble. If the wedding day is in sunny summer and the wedding is held outdoors, you should choose a light and breathable wedding dress, and the veil should be simple or simply omitted, so as not to make people feel sultry, but also to make you perform well at the wedding reception. If it is held indoors and the space is not very large, it is best to choose a wedding dress with a smaller skirt, otherwise it will be easily caught by the legs of the chair.
The choice of shoes is also very important, depending on your preferences and the floor at the wedding site. Before selecting, you need to feel the walking feeling of the floor repeatedly, because the friction between wooden floor, stone floor, grass and carpeted floor is definitely different. For example, if the wedding venue is a wooden floor, you can't choose high heels, because it is easy for you to slip; You'd better wear a platform shoes on the grass, or the stickiness of the land may tear your shoes off your feet. Of course, there are still many problems to be solved, including the matching of hand flowers and hats. Let your family and close relatives and friends help you refer to it!
Bride tip:
If it rains on the ceremony.
If you choose to hold a small wedding in the outdoor courtyard, pay attention to the weather. You need to take preparatory measures in advance, such as preparing enough big umbrellas around the site and spreading a layer of sand on the ground (sand is permeable,
Will not cause too much water). Seats are also reserved indoors near the restaurant, which will be moved in time if it rains heavily. Prepare enough rain gear, so that warm care can make the unpleasantness caused by the weather disappear.
Always feel that outdoor family weddings are not classy?
This is actually a wrong idea. Although the luxurious decoration and exquisite ornaments of the hotel wedding add a lot of color to the wedding, they are not exclusive to you. Although the venue and scale of a small wedding can't compare with that of a hotel, it can attract guests' attention because every detail is designed by itself. As long as you are thoughtful and creative, there will be unexpected surprises. Of course, if the budget is still very loose, you can also buy some exquisite decorations, such as beautiful garlands and elegant tableware, which will be the highlights of your wedding reception.
Worried that the quality of food will not be guaranteed.
This question is really important. Good food can change a person's mood. Sometimes people worry that small restaurants may not be able to provide enough exquisite food for their guests. First, you have to try their dishes yourself, and then decide on the venue. Secondly, if you have no experience in receiving wedding banquets here, you need to talk to the restaurant manager or chef and tell them that you want a more grand dish, preferably appetizers, snacks, main courses, various drinks and desserts, and see if they can give you a special wedding banquet menu.
