Some elements to organize your wedding well

Some elements to organize your wedding well

Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to hire the services of a wedding planner to set up their wedding ceremony. However, with a little organization, you can have more than satisfactory results.

Formalities

When we talk about marriage, people often forget that before finding themselves before a civil registrar, mandatory formalities must be completed. I will explain this to you in detail because it is a bit cumbersome and prevents any wedding on a whim! Thus, before dwelling on the choice of your original marriage announcement, first start to compile your marriage file that you will submit to the town hall where your civil union will be celebrated.

Do not forget to attach the marriage contract in case of existence of this notarial deed. And if I remember correctly, when the wedding project is received by the Mayor, the latter or his representative will summon the two bride and groom for a hearing. The objective here is to ensure that the decision to marry is free, as well as voluntary for the two concerned and therefore without any constraint. Thereafter, the ban is published ten days before the date of the ceremony.

The place

After the formalities, I will dwell on the place where the reception will take place because, after all, the places are part of the important elements which intervene in the success of a marriage. Referring to my case for example, as I opted for intimate and private festivities, the house of my in-laws was large enough to accommodate all the guests. Otherwise, I strongly recommend making the room reservation several months before the wedding date, especially if the coveted place is in high demand.

Moreover, in most cases, it is the availability of the place that defines the date of the wedding. Hence the need to take care of it first. Many criteria will have to be taken into account when choosing the place and the first of them is obviously the budget. It goes without saying that renting a castle will be more expensive than reserving a communal hall or an associative space. But it will also be necessary to take into account the reception capacity of the premises, its access, the parking lot, the duration of the rental...

The wedding cake

I will end with the wedding cake:choosing it is one of my favorite steps in the wedding preparations after buying the dress and writing the list of gifts. Indeed, many tastings were on the program! These were real moments of happiness for the great foodie that I am. But do not forget that the cutting of the "wedding-cake" is an exceptional moment eagerly awaited by the bride and groom and their guests. The selection of the cake should therefore not be taken lightly.

Thus, for people wishing to respect tradition, the classic mounted pieces of caramelized cabbage filled with vanilla pastry cream sealed with nougatine will be perfect. This type of wedding cake is usually shaped like a pyramid. Otherwise, the cabbage can also be replaced by macaroons. I particularly love them with their many colors. Of course, tiered cakes are also hugely popular.
