How to Make Your Wedding the Most Romantic Ever
Even though the love you have for your soon-to-be husband is more than enough to sweep every one of your guests off their feet, wee have some ideas for adding just that little bit extra romance to your big day.
SPEND TIME ALONE
No matter how many photos you want to take and people you want to say hello to, make sure to spend some time alone. Simply be with each other, hold each other and recognize how meaningful this moment is to you both.
LIGHT IT BY CANDLE
This falls under the category of “obvi!” But, we cannot stress enough how much candles, fairy lights and other “twinkly lights” make for a sense of magic and romance from the ceremony to the late-night dancing.
MARRY IN THE ROUND
Create a much more intimate experience both for the two of you and your guests, by setting your ceremony in the round.
TOAST ROMANCE
Take time to toast everyone at your wedding whose example you have followed or will follow in your married life. And, more importantly, ask them to take a moment to connect with their partners and remember the moment they found each other. The love in the room will overtake everyone!
