While it’s always exciting to hear that a couple is getting married, it’s more exciting to hear that they are doing it in a way that reflects their personalities. Those who know them well say that their relationship is as classic as the Montblanc and the Patek Philippe watch they got married in. The bride’s family is from the Swiss capital of Geneva, which is home to a number of famous watch manufacturers, and the groom’s family is from Lausanne, the city where Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe are based.
The couple have decided to join the many other couples who have chosen to wed at a wine bar by having their wedding dinner in the most unique of surroundings: a fishing boat. The venue was chosen because it represents the couple’s shared passion for fishing. The bar’s owner, who also happens to be a wedding photographer, felt that the setting would add a magical touch to the photos he was going to take of the event.
It wasn’t long before guests were being served a gourmet meal that would make a fishmonger jealous. Each course was served by the couple and members of their staff in a stunning location. What’s more, guests got to keep everything as a memento of this unique day.
The Venue Is Signature Sb Vibe
If you’re looking for a way to add a little romance to your wedding day, nothing says romance quite like a sunset wedding. After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests made their way up the beach for a wedding meal fit for celebrities. The wedding party and their guests made their way up the aisle in the tiny French Riviera town of Antibes in a vintage car, followed by a giggle-worthy wedding cake. The meal itself was served on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
For the main event, guests made their way to the Hotel Les Bastions in Saint-Martin-de-Ré for the reception. The hotel is located on a tiny islet just off the coast of France, between the Caribbean Sea and the town of Saint-Martin. The ceremony and the reception were secluded yet stunning, with views of the open sea and the sunset (for which the hotel is known).
What makes these events so romantic is that they give the couple and their guests a chance to get away from the crowds and the hustle and bustle of the day and get some time to themselves to celebrate. It’s easy for guests to get wrapped up in the excitement of the wedding, but something about getting hitched at a sunset or an antiques-filled hotel really puts the romance in the air.
How Do You Plan To Celebrate Your Wedding?
It’s always exciting to plan a wedding, but equally exciting to see how other couples choose to celebrate their big day. From luxury villas in the Maldives to urban loft apartments in New York, the way in which you plan to celebrate is personal and unique to you and your spouse. While many couples decide to save money and choose a smaller venue or even an intimate dinner party, those who want to indulge can plan a luxury celebration.
Whatever your decision, it’s important to consider what you want from your wedding day and the type of celebration that will make you feel that you have made the right choice. A good wedding plan includes all of the following:
- A beautiful ceremony venue
- A fantastic meal
- Luxurious drink
- A good band
- Wedding cake
- Goody bag
- A fantastic photographer
- A good planner
Ensure that all of these elements are incorporated into your wedding day and you will have a celebration to remember.
The Luxury To The Maximal
If you’re looking to add luxury to your wedding day, there are plenty of ways to do so. From a bespoke suit for the groom to a diamond tennis bracelet for the bride, there are plenty of luxurious items you can personalise for the big day.
If you want to go whole hog and incorporate luxury into every aspect of your wedding, why not consider an all-white wedding? A beautiful white wedding dress can be custom made to fit the shape of your body. For the groom, you could plan a bespoke suit tailored from the finest material. And for the bride, a diamond tennis bracelet and a matching necklace are just some of the luxurious items you could consider.
The choice is entirely up to you. You might like the idea of adding luxury to your wedding day but don’t want to go over the top with it. This would be a shame, as going over the top is one of the things that makes a wedding so romantic.
If you want to be authentic and want to go for an old-school approach, it’s often said that choosing a vintage car for the bride’s entrance would be a good idea. From the 1920s to the 1950s, cars were a sign of a wealthy man’s status, and the more prestigious the make and model, the more luxurious the event. You could also do something different and choose an amphibious vehicle or a hot-air balloon as a way of getting to your wedding venue. It’s up to you!
The Personalised Approach
Perhaps one of the most romantic things about weddings is the fact that they allow for some level of personalised celebration. If you want to include your family and friends in the joyous occasion, you can do so by planning a ceremony and a reception at a place that is personal to you and your partner. This could be a villa in the Balearics or a loft apartment in New York City. These are just some of the places you could hold the ceremony and the reception. It’s your big day, so you could do as you please.
When it comes to the reception, you could choose to have a sit-down meal or another type of celebration, such as a street party or fireworks display. For something different, you could include a circus act or a light show as part of the entertainment. It’s your wedding, so you can plan something new and innovative.
Saving Money
If you want to save money and want to keep your wedding small and intimate, there are plenty of low-cost alternatives to the most luxurious of weddings. For the ceremony, you could choose a small and unassuming venue such as a church or a town hall. For the meal, you could serve canapés and cocktails at the venue, followed by a three-course banquet served by professional caterers.
Instead of a sit-down meal, you could serve a buffet at a wedding breakfast. If money is no object to you and your partner, why not consider hiring a band that can play all of the classic wedding party music? A good band will certainly make your guests feel like they are at a high-end restaurant.
Wedding Cake
Another thing that makes wedding cakes so romantic is the fact that they are such a prominent part of the celebrations. A wedding cake is such an iconic image, and something that all of the guests will be talking about for months, if not years, to come. When it comes to choosing a wedding cake, it’s important to keep a number of things in mind:
- Colour
- Flavour
- Style
- Price
As with any other aspect of wedding planning, these factors will influence the decision you make.
If you are on a tight budget, you could choose a simple chocolate cake with cream cheese icing for something different. Alternatively, you could opt for red velvet cake with cream cheese icing, which is often associated with luxury brands such as Dior and Louis Vuitton. Your guests will be munching on these cakes for hours, so it’s important to keep their tastes in mind when planning your wedding.
If you are feeling adventurous, you could opt for a tiered candy cake with chocolate, salted caramel and cherry toppings. Not only is it a great photo opportunity, but it will also leave your guests with a sweet tooth that will linger long after the wedding cake is eaten.
Wedding Dress
As we’ve established, weddings are about the couple getting married, so it’s only natural that they would want to wear something that symbolises the special day. If you are planning to get hitched in a stunning dress, it’s worth considering a selection of bridal gowns that you can choose from.
