Ideas and tips for a Christmas wedding
If you have always dreamed of a wedding in December, in a venue with chimney, lights, candles and a very Christmas decoration, here I give you some ideas and tips for a Christmas wedding.
THE VENUE
It would be ideal to make the banquet in some room of an historic mansion or a castle, with big chimneys that can be left on for the occasion, creating a very romantic atmosphere.
THE DECORATION
Without a doubt, a Christmas decoration will give the magic touch to the wedding.
A big Christmas tree in some corner of the reception hall, will be a must.
Use elements like moss, candles and garlands of lights. And a color palette that includes shades of marsala and green, will create an unforgettable atmosphere for you and your guests.
Don’t forget to decorate the chimneys!
Garlands of greens and candles will give a spectacular touch to the space.
THE MENU
When choosing the menu, you can ask your caterer to add a typical Christmas dish. And for the snack during the open bar, what better choice than cups of hot chocolate with churros?
THE BRIDE
A wedding dress with long sleeves and velvet details, are ideal for the Christmas season.
Your bouquet may have velvet ribbons that can go in combination with the colored shoes of the same fabric.
A romantic and fairytale wedding, which will bring together all those important people for you and your partner, in a very special time like Christmas.
Would you like to get married in the magical month of December?

Wedding season is fast approaching so we discover the trends for 2018.
More and more couples choose to have INTIMATE WEDDINGS, with a limited number of guests. With this kind of weddings, couples can choose different venues, out of their country, so they can spend this important moment with closest people. In this way the couple can give more importance to details and also they can reduce the costs of reception and others vendors.
In these last years we have seen that OUTDOOR WEDDINGS were at its peak and this year we will also see ceremonies in amazing gardens, forests and beach. But we will also see INDOOR WEDDINGS in industrial venues, museums and libraries.
As we know STATIONERY is very important in a wedding, and invitations are their letter of introduction. The last trends that we will see this year are: watercolor and calligraphy.
In these last years we have seen that the use of calligraphy in wedding stationery were increasing and it will be also in 2018. Calligraphy is a style that give an elegant and sophisticated touch to the wedding.
If your wedding is romantic, the best choice is watercolor so you can have a delicate invitation.
Also this year we will see the use of MACRAMÉ in decoration that will give a boho-chic touch to the outdoor weddings.
Last year we saw that in fall and winter weddings VELVET were used in bows for the bridal bouquets or in some accessory as shoes. This element will also be a trend this year giving a sophisticated touch to the weddings.
Other elements will be widely used in 2018 are GEODES that will create a magic atmosphere. Seating plan, cakes, wedding favors, will make your wedding in a mystic and charming place.

The PAINTED CAKES will be the protagonist of the sweet moment. Real works of art in which to paint flowers and other decorative elements.
The typical Candy bar will be replaced by CAKES TABLES, in which there will be different kinds of cakes.

Magical kids corners at your wedding
When you start planning your wedding, you cannot forget the children, to which you have to attend and pay special attention.
If there is a great number of children, it’s always recommendable to hire an entertainer service so they can help children to eat, and then entertain them with games and activities. So children can have a good time and their parents will also enjoy the party.
First of all you have to create a cheerful, colourful and magic atmosphere.
How to do it? Through table decoration, corners, etc. Here you can find some ideas.
You can decorate the kids tables so that they are attractive for chidren, but they have to always fit with the rest of decoration.
If chidren are younger, a good idea is to put a special kit with coloured pencils and books.
Another idea is to put on the table some little gifts as disposable cameras, bubble blowers, cards games or a flower crown for the little princesses and a feather crown for the boys.
You can replace flower centerpieces with balloon or simply to give a touch of color with a tablecloth in the same colors of the rest of decoration, colored bows for chairs, etc.
If your wedding is outdoor and with a rustic style, you can replace the typical table with a pallet table decorated with cushions. Children will love to eat as if it were a picnic!
If your wedding has a tropical theme, the best way to decorate the kids table is with greenery, flowers, pineapples and flamingos!
You can also prepare a special space for them and where they can do activities with their entertainers.
You can do corners with an indian tepee with blankets, cushions, and some toy. It is always advisable that everything has the same palette color and same theme of the rest of decoration. There is a useful tool that helps you to obtain the perfect decoration in your big day and I talk about that in this post.
There are many ideas so you can create a magical atmosphere for children in your wedding.

The charm of a winter wedding
I admit it! I love a Winter wedding more every day.
It create an original and romantic atmosphere. The elements used for decoration of the ceremony and banquet, and the styling of the bride, make very different weddings.
Imagine a bride with a long sleeve dress, some detail of lace, a velvet ribbon, and covered with a stole or a cape…You feel like getting married right in December, isn’t it?
You can also use elegant fabrics in the decoration of ceremony and banquet, and a color palette in earth tones, green, white, wine and marsala colors, and, why not, a touch of black.
A fireplace full of candles and decorated with greenery or flowers, can be the perfect backdrop for a ceremony in a medieval castle or in an old stately mansion.
You can use wood tables to create rustic corner for the “sweet moment”, or a banquet decorated without tablecloth and with green garlands with eucalyptus, olive leaves and various candles.
Branchs, dried leaves, pinecones, and cotton, can replace perfectly the flowers and they create a warm and original feel.
But if you love flowers, there is a new trend this year, that are hanging floral decorations.
And what do you think to put hot chocolate and churros corner, instead of the typical candy bar?
Another benefit to get married in Winter, is that many vendors offer to the couple discounts and sales, so they can save money.
Certainly, a day of december can give life to a unique, elegant and different wedding, that will leave your guests open-mouthed!

Tendencias de boda 2017: ideas originales y diferentes para vuestro gran día
Ya ha empezado la temporada de bodas y como cada año, las tendencias cambian y nuevas ideas llegan pisando fuerte, ofreciendo una variedad de propuestas que crearán bodas originales y diferentes.
DECORACIÓN
Este año hay varios estilos que predominan en la decoración de los espacios para la ceremonia y banquete.
El estilo boho-chic introduce un nuevo elemento que en realidad tod@s conocemos muy bien…El macramé es el protagonista que dará un toque chic a las bodas de esas parejas un poco bohemias y amantes de la naturaleza.
La vuelta a lo natural y minimalista se impone sobre los elementos rústicos y vintage. La sencillez es la palabra clave de este estilo.
Para los enamorados de los colores fuertes, estampados, flores y naturaleza, y que quieren ofrecer a sus invitados un viaje entre color, alegría, fiesta, playa y un buen mojito, pueden optar por una decoración tropical utilizando, en la elección de flores y manteles, colores anaranjados, verde, fucsia, azul y amarillo. Los cactus son los nuevos centros de mesa y rincones especiales como una estación de mojitos sin duda volverá locos a los invitados.
Cuando empezamos a diseñar y planear la decoración del espacio, uno de los primeros pasos es la elección de la paleta de colores, que por supuesto tiene que ir acorde al estilo que queremos darle a nuestra boda.
El 2017 es el año del Greenery un verde que recuerda la naturaleza y que permite crear ambientes elegantes. El greenery además se puede combinar con diferentes colores y texturas como la madera o el blanco de los clásicos manteles.
Otra tendencia 2017 son sin duda alguna los colores vivos, como fucsia, amarillo, naranja, verde, azul…Tonos que evocan la cultura de México o las calles de Cuba. Una explosión de colores que hace de vuestra boda una auténtica fiesta.
El dorado vuelve con fuerza y combinado con el clásico blanco crea un estilo elegante y que nunca pasa de moda. Pero también puede combinarse con tonos pastel para dar un toque romántico, o con el negro creando un efecto llamativo y atrevido.
También en las mesas podemos ver una decoración que huye de lo convencional para dejar paso a la mezcla de piezas diferentes, colores vivos, manteles estampados, madera y centros de flores o plantas que dan un toque desenfadado a la boda.
La decoración de flores que cuelgan del techo es otro must de las bodas 2017.
Y en cuanto a iluminación, las velas no dejan de ser las protagonistas dando un toque romántico al espacio. Pero no se quedan atrás las bombillas desnudas, ideales para las bodas al aire libre.
MENÚ VS CÓCTEL
Se impone cada vez más el formato del cóctel en lugar del clásico menú, donde los novios optan por un buffet con diferentes puestos de comida y showcooking o cocina en directo, que crean un ambiente informal y que facilita la interacción entre los invitados.
Otra tendencia de este año son sin duda los foodtrucks, caravanas y furgonetas que ofrecen una forma diferente de invitar a los comensales a probar cócteles, crepes, helados, hamburguesas, etc.
TARTA
También en 2017 sigue difundiéndose la tendencia americana de las naked cakes o tartas desnudas, que se caracterizan por su sencillez y un toque campestre para esas bodas desenfadadas e informales.
Las parejas que eligen un estilo más clásico y elegante, pueden optar por tartas nupciales con flores que pueden ser de fondant o flores naturales.
Cada vez más de moda son las drip cakes y las tartas estilo geoda, ambas con un acabado llamativo y original.
Como podéis ver, muchas son las ideas para crear una boda única y original, pero no olvidéis que cada boda tiene que reflejar vuestra personalidad y vuestra historia, para que todos puedan vivir con vosotros ese momento tan especial en un entorno ideal.
