A lot has changed since the start of the global pandemic, especially in how we celebrate important moments in life, from birthday gatherings and holiday gatherings to religious milestones like baptism and bar mitzvah. However, one of the events that will be affected the most on a global scale is undoubtedly weddings. So, what awaits couples and their guests at weddings in the years following the pandemic? According to wedding experts, we wanted to share the predictions that await us for weddings in a post-COVID world.
- Weddings will be much smaller and more intimate.
Even before the pandemic crisis knocks on our door, it is believed that the large and high number of guests will be a thing of the past, even if the special guest lists of the ecology and sustainability movements will continue.
-There will be an increased awareness of germs.
Viruses, germs and bacteria are nothing new, but the current pandemic has certainly highlighted the fragility of human life, especially when it comes to the spread of effectively effective infections. Buffet presentations and food service with plexiglass barriers, or appropriate servers with gloves and sterile, have changed the perspective of what safety really means in food service. And it seems that it will continue to maintain its importance as it is.
-There will be more contracts and they will look different.
With the resumption of COVID, it is stated that many wedding vendors have rather vague contracts regarding force majeure, postponement and cancellation. Cancellations, reduction of the number of guests, etc. It is hoped that ceremonial contracts for occasions will also contain highly detailed and different clauses than in the past.
-Hospitality will be bigger and better than ever before.
As we continue to live and experience our new normal in the world, it is hoped that people will be more inclined to show their love for each other.
-Outdoor activities will continue.
Even with the approval of paramedics for us to gather indoors in larger parties, it is thought that spaces with open space will continue to be more desirable.
Try Feel-Good Snacks
A feel-good snack, but with an elegant presentation. Don't say no and a bite-sized amount of grilled halloumi cheese paired with a serving of tomato soup in small, few-scoop bowls… Feels great? Such small warm details and delicious food will delight your guests.
Make Your Own-Brunch-Bowl
If your party will be a cocktail party or you will get together around noon, you can prepare a brunch concept. When you think of brunch, you may think of pancakes and egg plates, but there are other options. If you are looking for a unique variation or variation on breakfast dishes, you might consider serving acai bowls. These are smoothie bowls with various toppings on the floor. Make the experience interactive by including a station filled with different ingredients (think: fresh fruits, seeds, nuts, and granola).
Cone Deli
It's no secret that everyone is obsessed with deli shops and feels hungover there. However, even if you're serving a delicatessen buffet at the ceremony, it can be difficult for guests to serve themselves in the crowd. With this creative wedding menu idea, you can distribute scrumptious salty snacks to your guests with an unusual presentation: a delicatessen cone!. You can present pre-prepared cheese, dried meat, crackers and fruit varieties in eco-friendly wooden and paper cones for your loved ones to enjoy.
Seasonal Vegetable Tastings
The abundance of the wedding season is also abundant, so why not offer this abundance to your guests with a tasting full of delicious fresh vegetables? You can distribute flavored seasonal vegetables, traditionally boiled or grilled, with a nice presentation and they will look absolutely stunning in photographs. Another advantage? Everyone can enjoy this dish without any restrictions to your guests who are on a diet or on a vegetarian or vegan diet. You can serve the tastings in the style seen in the family home or as an entree.
French Fries Containers
We didn't want to end our list of wedding menu ideas without fries! As you know, it is a popular snack late at night, at every meal as a child, and at every escapade that brings happiness in adulthood. It is a dish that can be everyone's favourite. Fill your guests' senses as well as their stomachs in a nostalgic and unforgettable way by preparing fried potatoes for snacks home-style and serving them in small bowls and the accompanying sauce! :)
]]>If you've never had a custom-made jewelry made for you, the thought of getting your wedding or engagement ring done in this way can seem difficult!
But getting a unique engagement or wedding ring is actually much easier than most people think.
1- Custom Design Takes More Time
Just like having a custom wedding dress made, getting a custom engagement or wedding ring takes longer than ordering a ready-made ring. To create a special piece of jewellery, you need to know the styles you're inspired by, have your design in mind, add subtle changes to your design and more or less visualize your ring, all of which naturally take time. On average, it takes about 3 to 6 weeks to create a custom engagement or wedding ring, so if you're going to be making a custom engagement ring, be sure to allow for this extra time in your schedule. :)
2- It is important to determine your budget first
In the same way, you should set a budget before talking to a designer jewelry or jewelry designer, just like having a custom-designed wedding dress sewn. This will ensure that you don't accidentally pop in your budget once your ring starts being designed. Also, your jewelery designer will help adjust your design to maximize your budget and make sure you prioritize what matters most.
3-You Can Get Inspiration From Anywhere
It's common for people to bring inspiring images at the beginning of the design process. People usually take away samples of engagement or wedding rings they like, which is awesome. But you can actually get design inspiration from anywhere. For example, other types of jewelry… Or the architecture that draws you in, the colors in a photo you took while on vacation, the description of something in your favorite book, and so on…
4- It's Useful To Understand The Materials Of Wedding Rings
It's understandable that you want to understand both your style options and your material choices when designing an engagement or wedding ring. There are two types of materials to consider when creating an engagement ring: your gemstones and your precious metal. You can find your style by delving into the world of gemstones and metals.
5- Enjoying the Process is Important
Before we finish our list of tips on what you need to know before getting a custom-designed engagement or wedding ring, we want to point out that creating your ring should be fun. Getting a custom-designed engagement or wedding ring is a special once-in-a-lifetime experience. You should enjoy the creation process as much as you enjoy the final product. So, if you feel stressed out, take a step back and try to re-centre.
