The wedding by itself is already unforgettable, but there are a few moments that stay forever in both our and the hearts of our guests. Here is how to turn your wedding into something neither you nor your guests will ever forget.

The dance

Wedding First Dance

Sure, everyone can have a basic first dance, but in order to really wow your guests and add a personal stamp, consider doing something unconventional and choreographed. For example, start off with a slow song and after a few seconds play something such as Party Rock Anthem or Macarena and start jumping around the hall! You can also hire a choreographer to help you make it all look even better.

The location

Now, luckily, your choice of venue is no longer limited to a church, hotel or a registry office. So, do your homework and find a venue that suits you best, and don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Have in mind that things like beach, building rooftops etc. can also be considered.

The dress

 

The saying “Dress to impress” exists for a reason. After all, like every bride, it is normal that you also want your dress to be THE TALKING POINT of the wedding day. That is why you have to spend a few weeks, if not even months researching. There are countless shapes and sizes in order to ensure that no matter what your body type is, you find something that will look great on you. Oh, and don’t forget the details that will complete the whole look such as the parasol, tiara and bouquet.

The arrival

Everyone will remember the arrival, especially if you arrive in style. That is why many couples book companies such as Queenst Car hire, where they book exotic as well as foreign cars (from Beamers, over Lambos all the way to Rollies). After all, a special event calls for a special arrangement – and that arrangement includes it all, from best caterers, over photographers all the way to a luxury car to arrive in. On the other hand, if you are having a waterside ceremony, you can also arrive in a yacht or a speedboat for example.

A surprise

If you want a fairytale wedding, what could be better than celebrating by releasing a bunch of white doves? There is a legend, actually, which claims that seeing a dove on your wedding day will bring you a long and happy life together, and dove release will give the most beautiful finishing touch to your ceremony. Other romantic surprise ideas include fireworks at midnight, lighting floating candles, having a horse-drawn carriage that will take you two to the reception etc.

An extra personal touch

It is a much better idea to write your own vows instead of reciting the stale old words. It will make the ceremony more memorable to everyone and there might even be some tears of joy from your closest ones. Take those traditions and turn them your way.

The cool cake

Instead of a classic three-store white cake, go with something completely unexpected and unconventional. You like colour purple and zebra pattern? Go for it! You both binge watch Harry Potter or Star Wars at least once in two months? Yes, please. This is the era of freedom, and that is why the centrepiece of celebration should really be something memorable.

Have these in mind while planning your ceremony and you can be certain that everyone will remember it forever! If you have some more tips you would like to share with us, feel free to comment below.

MEET
GABRIELE

Scripting electric storylines in Milan's designer-scene Gabriele's stylistic approach culls from fashion-campaigns & photojournalism.
His wedding images tap on the modern side of Love meld with
Italianate sapor.

As a fashion portraitist I've treaded between reality and fantasy, identity and inclusivity, time, space, culture and (be)longing. These all influenced how I photograph real people, urging me to create images that offer -in their simplicity- a connective tissue and counterpoint to my subjects. I tell stories of how chance encounters between strangers come to form families, and capture how their shared space, experiences, values and time bring about the little magic the future needs. It's all very Italian, and so universal at the same time.
