Your wedding should, first and foremost, be a romantic affair. You’ve got a duty to ensure that your friends and family have a fun time on your special day, of course, but let’s not forget that the whole point of this day is for you and your partner to celebrate your love for one another. So it’s worthwhile taking steps to ensure that it’s as romantic as can be! In this blog, we’re going to run through some useful tips that’ll keep the romance levels high.
Pick the Perfect Venue
Your wedding venue sets the scene for your special day. Opt for a location that exudes romance, and you and your guests will be swept away by the love in the air. On top of this, romantic feeling locations will be the perfect backdrop for your wedding photos- think places with stunning gardens, incredible staircases, gorgeous rooms to get ready in and perhaps a lake to get some mesmirising reflection shots. Venues such as Winters Barns are the perfect example of a romantic setting, and they'll set the mood from the moment you arrive.
Create a Twinkling Atmosphere
Twinkling lights can create a magical atmosphere and add a touch of romance to your wedding. From fairy lights to lanterns, these lights will make your outdoor space feel warm, inviting, and loving. Candles on the dining tables will also add to the ambience, and plenty of flowers and foliage always look incredible at weddings. If fresh flowers are out of your budget, hiring a company that uses silk or faux flower arrangements can work out cheaper but still provide a fantastic effect.
Spread the Love
Your wedding day is the perfect opportunity to spread loving messages without it feeling cheesy. Hang beautiful love quotes on cards from trees or have them displayed on the tables. Write thank you notes to include with your wedding favours and encourage people to write heartfelt notes in your guest book. These messages serve as gentle reminders of why you're all gathered together on this special day.
Set the Mood with Music
Music is a powerful tool when it comes to setting the mood for your wedding. Consider having someone play a classic love song on the violin as you walk down the aisle. Create a playlist of beautiful love songs for guests to enjoy during the reception. And of course, choose the perfect song for your first dance as a married couple. A live band or musician playing beautiful music can be an incredible addition too.
Add a Touch of Romance to the Food and Drinks
Food and drinks are an essential part of any wedding celebration, and they can also add a touch of romance to your day. Consider serving foods that are considered to be aphrodisiacs, such as oysters or chocolate. You could also have a signature cocktail that's symbolic of your love story.
By following these five tips, you'll create a romantic atmosphere that you and your guests will remember for years to come!
