Thinking of having your wedding at home? Here are a few things to consider today…
Matching the Florals to the Site:
When it comes to adding flowers to your wedding venue at home, then it’s a good idea to take inspiration from the existing landscape in order to create a floral altar and ceremony place that is simply stunning. To create an element of cohesion between your home and the wedding ‘venue’, then try to pick flowers that already exist in your home. Another great tip is to pick flowers that go with the season- to that if your wedding is in winter, you don’t have spring flowers for decoration.
Be Picky with the Guest List:
More often than not, your home isn’t quite as big as a wedding venue. Because of this, you may have to be selective with who you invite to your wedding. It’s important to be realistic when comparing your guest list to the size of your property. The thing about weddings is that a lot of the time, smaller weddings are the preferred type as they are more intimate. Don’t feel pressured to add as many people as possible to your wedding- as a tightly packed house can be more uncomfortable and claustrophobic than anything.
Inform Your Neighbours:
Whether you’re close with your neighbours or not- it’s important to make them aware of what is going to be happening on that day. If you’re going to give them an invitation- that’s great! They can get involved in the celebrations and join you on your special day. However, if you’re not that close with them, it’s important to do the courteous thing and notify your neighbours that a wedding will be taking place on a specific date at your home.
Have a Plan B for the Weather:
The weather can be very hit and miss- especially if you live in the UK. If you’re planning an outdoor ceremony, then you may want to create a plan B in case the weather takes a turn for the worse. At the first sign of drizzle or wind, your guests are more than likely going to run for cover. A great way to get around this is to set up a tent in your home to act as a second option in case the weather takes a turn for the worst.
Setting Up Your Home:
On your wedding day, you are more than likely going to want professional pictures. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that your home is going to look its best. Whether that means hiring professional cleaners to help declutter and spruce up the place, or a team of interior designers or venue decorators to make your home as magical and beautiful as possible. Other things you need to consider include:
- Caters
- Music/DJ
- Invitations
- Parking and transport.
