Alessandra 01/10/2024 0
As a matter of fact, wedding plans continue to be impacted by the emergency COVID19, but although this pandemic period, we can consider ourselves lucky to live in a digital era where information is at our fingertips, video calls are on our screens and planning our Wedding Day is easily possible from your desk.
Here, I’m going to tell you how I thought to virtually plan every aspect of your Wedding Day together with the vendors I usually work with!
Identify your Vision
Once you have a date, start identifying your Wedding vision and then start looking for a professional Wedding Planner who can make it come true.
Meet virtually with your Planner
Many planners like me have jumped on the virtual world using different platforms to plan ceremonies and make their presence felt even at a distance. Thereby, all your wedding planning worries will be at ease!
Organize a virtual venue tour
During this pandemic period, most Wedding venues are now offering personal site tours via FaceTime or Skype. Virtual tours allow the couple to see the venue in real time, you can literally have a walk through your venue with the help of your Wedding Planner asking for all the information you need without risking your safety. What better way to find your Wedding venue right from home than a virtual tour?
Meet virtually your Vendors
Virtual consultations with your future vendors are a great way to meet them and know each other. Set up an initial consultation via Skype or FaceTime with photographers, floral designers, make-up artists, bands and so on always with the essential help of your Planner. They can show you samples of their work and talk about their packages as well.
Caterer & Cake Tasting
Tasting the food is a key thing for choosing which dishes you want your guests to enjoy during your Wedding Day. Just like your venue it’s impossible to complete a tasting in person right now, you can request sample tasting of the food and cake that they offer available for a take away service.
Can’t wait to meet you and plan together…
Dreams never stop!

Meaningful Wedding Rituals for your Ceremony
Most of Wedding Ceremonies are rooted in tradition and involve a series of steps or practices that have been taken for centuries. If you’re looking for some religious, cultural or spiritual practices in order to personalize and make your Wedding Ceremony even more poignant, here you will find the most popular Wedding ceremony rituals which you and your Groom-to-be could incorporate into your Special Day!
Jumping the broom
The jumping of the broom tradition dates back to the early 19th century and has its origins in Western African Weddings. The tradition wants the couple to lay a broom on the ground and jump over it together. Nowadays, this practice represents a ‘brushing away’ of the past in order to start a new life together.
Light a unity candle
This Judeo-Christian tradition is one of the most well-known Wedding rituals and represents the unity of two people and their families too. Both the Bride and Groom hold a lit candle and combine their flames to light a third one that remains unlit throughout the ceremony. Only when the couple
exchanged their vows, they can light the pillar candle using their flames to symbolize the union of their love and their commitment.
Sand ceremony
For this popular practice, the couple pours two separate vases of sand, usually in different colors, into a larger vessel to symbolize their ‘coming together’ as a married couple forever. This practice is particularly meaningful if you’re gonna to tie the knot on a beach or want to use sand from meaningful locations.
Cord of three strands
This religious Wedding ceremony ritual, also known as God’s knot, symbolizes the joining of one man, one woman and God into a marriage relationship with a purple string, a white and a gold. The cord of three strands ceremony could be a great addition to your big day, a truly unique element that friends and family will remember forever.
Have a handfasting
The handfasting ceremony tradition is an ancient medieval Celtic Wedding ritual, this practice involves binding the couple’s opposite hands together with a ribbon or a cord to symbolize their eternal union. You could even use colored ribbons, such as white for purity or red for passion!
Foot washing ceremony ritual
Foot washing is a Christian Wedding ceremony ritual inspired by some Bible verses in which Jesus washes his disciples’ feet. It is usually done to symbolize the couple’s service, humility and commitment to each other for the rest of their lives.
Breaking the glass
The breaking of the glass is one of the most beloved traditions of a Jewish Wedding ceremony. During the ceremony, the Groom smashes a wrapped piece of glass with his foot followed by applause from the guests. Tradition says that the couple will remain married for as long as the glass is shattered!
Planting a tree
If your Ceremony will take place outdoors, you could consider this ritual! It has no official religious or cultural ties, but taking care of a tree symbolizes growth and love. During the Wedding ceremony, the Bride and the Groom will take turns adding soil from two separate containers and water to the seedling, representing two individuals coming together as one.
Whatever style of Wedding Ceremony you and your Groom-to-be will have, there is a unity ritual which can fit with your venue and your mood. It’s up to you to choose the right one for your #destinationlove

Tips for a Perfect fall Wedding
Autumn is not only the season of the first rains but also of those wonderful sunny days whose heat is not at all excessive,
in fact pleasant! I would say the climate that still allows you to think of a reception taking advantage of outdoor spaces as well.
From October and November onwards, landscapes are tinged with warm and harmonious shades of bold oranges, vivid reds, ruby hues and warm yellows.
All nuances that by the way can also be used as your wedding theme, imagine the mise en place with these colors combined with the whiteness of white!
Colors that can also be used in graphics for invitations or bridesmaids’ dresses.
About the wedding dress. The fall season offers you more opportunities to range over a vast number of models: long-sleeved or three-quarter sleeves, in lace or other fabrics, for a truly dramatic effect.
As for the look, autumn season is also perfect for going to embellish your hair with wreaths of flowers, leaves or even berries.
Most importantly, though, as far as your make-up is concerned, which, going back to the topic of temperatures,
will not run because of the heat and you will therefore be more likely to stay flawless until the end of the day.

All you need to know about Wedding Invitations
As many engaged couples who are getting married during this year, you are forced to handle a wedding postponement and reschedule your wedding celebrations too. Probably, you’ve already slowed down your planning process and went for a change-the-date, but luckily your invitations weren’t ready and sent yet!
Wedding invitations are one of the key things to focus on during your wedding planning. Here, you’ll find out everything you need to know about Wedding Invitations.
Choose Your Style
Your Wedding Invitations give your guests a first idea about what kind of ceremony your wedding will be, so the style of your invitation will say a lot about your marriage: classic and elegant… or casual and romantic?
Whatever the style of your ceremony is, your invitations must represent it to the fullest! If you want to give a romantic touch you should opt for a classic calligraphy or modern graphic design if you prefer a sparkling look.
Match with your Colours
Never forget your Wedding Colours! In order to give your entire ceremony a cohesive look, you should incorporate your colour palette into your wedding invitations as well. Basically, brides-to-be go for ivory, cream or milky-white paired with a dark color which highlights the texts… You could also opt for lively hues, pastel colours or gold and silver metallic fonts. And then, carry them throughout the rest of your wedding paper such as cards, stationery, menus combining them with your venue for example.
Play with Shapes
If you don’t want to choose the classic rectangular shape for your wedding invitations, you could focus on modern and alternative forms such as circular or squared shapes in order to give your invitations an original look!
Choose accurately Your Words
The wording on the invitations should be accurately thought. Traditionally, the main information to be included are bride and groom’s name, date of the big day, general information about location and reception and finally time of your ceremony. You might use traditional wedding invitation wording such as They celebrate their union or informal invitation wording such as Celebrate our Wedding with us, for example. Furthermore, be sure to give your guests a deadline to confirm their presence at your wedding including a final line such as The favor of a reply is requested by… or a more informal one such as R.V.S.P. Last but not least, do not forget your thank-yous!
Put a decoration
Add some personal touches to your Wedding Invitations such as a wax seal with your initials, a ribbon, a tiny flower or a scented item. Your guests will feel pampered from the get-to!
When to Send
Generally, invitations should be sent 3 or 4 months before the Wedding. You & your Hubby-to-be have been planning your big day for the last year, but your guests need to save the official date on their calendars in advance. Moreover, if you’re having a Destination Wedding, you should send out your invitations even earlier… your guests may also need to ask for time off from work and make hotel reservations.
