How to organize an original wedding
How to leave your guests speechless? Here are our tips!
Organizing a wedding is not easy. Even if you have always imagined it, when the time comes to organize it there will be so many details to prepare that you never even imagined!
When you think of a wedding, you imagine it as a special and unique day, and it really is, especially for the bride and groom; for the guests, however, weddings often seem similar and, above all, boring.
So, how to make your wedding day unforgettable for your friends and family? Here are some tips for an original wedding!
1. Choose a theme
Choose a theme that you like to customize your wedding. You can take inspiration from hobbies, favorite places, colors. Don’t just think about a visual effect, but the overall atmosphere: also pay attention to music and smells.
The theme must be the leitmotif of the day, leaving nothing to chance.
Don’t tell your guests all the details, but leave that air of mystery… you’ll arouse curiosity and expectations!
If you are an eccentric person, have no budget limits and want to amaze everyone, we recommend a medieval style wedding. Really suitable for those who do not know the meaning of the word “sobriety”!
2. Flash mob
Usually, during the event there is a moment to dance all together. An original and unforgettable thing, however, is to organize a flash mob. At the exit of the Church or during the reception, it is a fun situation that fully involves the guests.
3. Invitations
Enough with the usual invitations! One of the latest inventions is a “plantable” paper, with which you can create 100% biodegradable and ecological invitations! It also contains seeds that once buried sprout into flowers or herbs.
Use your creativity in the invitations; choose something special, inspired by the theme of the wedding or the honeymoon!
4. Wedding Favors
Choose original wedding favors, something useful as well as beautiful. Great ideas are objects that reflect the theme of the wedding or that are closely linked to the couple, for example linked to the country of origin, or food … or you could also think of solidarity ones!
In addition to the object, it would be perfect to choose a unique place to deliver your wedding favors, choosing the most beautiful rooms of the location. For example, organizing your wedding at Villa Castiglioni Fisogni, you can deliver your wedding favors in its beautiful Art Nouveau rooms!
5. Guestbook
This is an indispensable memory of your day. In the guestbook, guests can write greetings and dedications. Alternatively, you can find original ideas; a canvas with a drawing to complete with fingerprints; a frame with wooden hearts where guests can write a message; a table with a mailbox, and much more. There are so many ideas to personalize the guest book.
6. Dancing shoes for the guests
A wedding is an occasion to dress up; most girls will take the opportunity to wear elegant heels. However, when it comes time to dance and enjoy the party, it will be difficult if their feet hurt. The solution? Give them flip-flops or comfortable shoes to dance all night long!
7. Games for children
How to entertain children at a wedding? An idea that will make everyone happy is to create dedicated areas where they can have fun with games and leisure activities.
The beautiful garden in the warmer months, or the large main room in the colder ones, are the ideal places you will find at Villa Castiglioni Fisogni to reserve a space for children.
8. Bags for guests
A wedding bag with an emergency kit is a must for the bride, but you could also give one to the guests. You can leave a bag containing small gifts on each guest’s chair; tissues, refreshing wipes, heel protectors, mini sewing kits, sanitizing gel, bottles of water and, if it’s hot, even a fan. You can customize the wedding bag based on your theme and colors or with your initials.
9. Tableau de mariage
The tableau de mariage is a billboard it is a board that, upon entering the reception room, indicates to each guest the table where to sit. You can customize it as you wish, according to the theme you have chosen… you can also create a “treasure hunt“: the guests will have the opportunity to have fun reaching their seat.
10. Polaroids as souvenirs
In addition to having a professional photographer, an original idea is to have someone take instant polaroid photos during the party. Guests can take it home as an instant souvenir, or you could organize a table to collect all the polaroids and make an original album.
11. Choose an original location
An original wedding requires an original place; natural locations are the most beautiful. If you are looking for a unique place in Italy to celebrate your wedding, take a look at Villa Castiglioni Fisogni in Tradate, a unique location where classicism and originality blend together.
In addition to the beautiful garden and the elegant ancient rooms, inside the Villa there is also the Fisogni Museum, Guinness World Record in 2000 for the most complete collection of fuel pumps in the world; a unique and original gem to amaze your guests!
