WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T DIY ON YOUR WEDDING

DIY project can be very original and one of a kind. Handling some wedding tasks yourself can be a great way to personalize your event. It can also help you to save a lot of money.
For a lot of brides-to-be this idea of home crafted decorations and attractions seems like perfect solution to combine tight budget and the wedding of their dreams.

But is in fact DIY always a good idea? When time gests shorter and stress gets higher, DIY concept can do more harm than good. Wedding experts says “Don’t go too far”. Something that you can do months in advance while watching TV, can be worth doing, but time consuming activities which should be done the final days before your wedding are more delicate. What you should better leave to the professionals? Let’s take a closer look at it.

FLOWERS

Flowers are one of the biggest expenses for weddings. It seems perfect to think that you can simply collect some stems together and call it a bouquet. But you should be extremely realistic in what you can and will want to do just before your Big Day. Florist are experts when it comes to flowers, they know how to deal with them, how to make them looks perfect together and they train for years. Flowers are the soul of the decorations for your wedding reception. They arrive shortly before the wedding, leaving you only a day — sometimes even hours — to arrange everything. You’ll see that this time is precious and you’ll prefer to spend it on other important things rather than working in sweat.

YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP

 

 

Not only all eyes will be on you this day but also it will be the longest day of your life. Starting early, full of amazing but stressful events, a lot of hugs, even more kisses, dozens of dances, maybe some happy tears and all the photos. Your hair and make-up must remain perfect from the beginning till the very end. Even if you don’t have problems to do your hair and make-up every day, for this unique occasion better leave it to the specialist. A professional can do your hair and make-up twice as well as you and in half the time. They have professional product and know how to create a flawless look that don’t spoil with time.

PHOTOS

 

Wedding last only several hours but the photographs live forever. Every time you want you could come back to those memories to see how happy and beautiful you were on this day. Do not save your money on photographer. If you decide to let your friend do them instead of professional you’ll regret this forever. A picture-perfect album is the best thing to keep everybody remembering your wedding day.

WEDDING CAKE AND FOOD

Even if it seems like saving a lot of money, before deciding to prepare several-dishes menu for all your guests better think twice. A professional knows a lot of better than you how to estimate the amount of food needed to be prepared on a large scale, when and how to serve them and how to combine your and your groom’s taste into a cohesive menu. Also your guests dietary needs or restrictions aren’t a problem for him. If you really want a personalized menu discuss it with your caterer. Surely, you’ll find a way to combine your vision with his experience.

PLANNING AND COORDINATION

Even if you the most organized person in the whole world, you like being in charge and all your friends are so willing to help, you will see that having a professional on your side will completely change all you know about perfect planning. Why is it so important? Because you could relax. Even if planning is your thing, acting in stress can ruin everything. Hiring a coordinator for the day can be a lifesaver. You’ll see that your wedding will look as good in real life as it did in your head.

 

 

Before deciding to DIY on your wedding simply try if you can do it. O n the website we can find thousands of DIY inspiration. They seems easy to do, but be careful. Most fo them is prepared by the specialists. They are photographed to look easy but reality can be different.

EVERYONE HATES A BAD WEDDING SPEECH

EVERYONE HATES A BAD WEDDING SPEECH

EVERYONE HATES A BAD WEDDING SPEECH!

The good wedding speech, done in the right way, can be a genuine highlight of the reception. Causing strong emotions like tears or laughter, it can be memorable and mentioned during the years and years.

Getting up in front of a crowd isn’t the easiest task to do. Creating a good wedding speech is an extremely delicate job which require balance between saying something funny, but not vulgar, something sweet but not cheap. And trust us, there is nothing worse than a speech that do not captivate at all. This one that leaves you embarrassed and blushing.
How to avoid it and make the whole room roaring with laughter or holding back happy tears?

Ready to raise your glasses to perfect wedding speech? Here are some guides how not come to naught!

If you ever want to be invited to the wedding again, here are some simple steps you just need to follow.

1. It’s not the time to tell embarrassing stories about the bride and groom or their family secrets. Forget their unsavory past. Weddings speeches should be gracious and positive.

2. Don’t tell mother-in-law jokes. You never sure what people will consider come funny and when you can offend them. It’s better to leave this topic behind.

3. It’s also in the good manner not to mention all the ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends of the bride and groom and never talk about their previous marriages. This one special day they don’t even want to hear their names, this is sure.

4. And no dramas! If you have any resentment to the newlyweds just keep it for yourself for this one day. It’s not the time for the smutty stories. A few happy tears are wanted but you don’t want anybody to cry during the wedding.

5. This day it’s not about you. Don’t make from this wedding speech the speech about yourself. Your opinion matters but remember that the spot is on the bride and groom and not on you.

6. Do not treat it as your chance to practice your comic skills. A few jokes are good, but make sure they refer to the couple.

7. Don’t go on too long. Remember that there is a content that matters, no length. So, cut it short and leave them longing for more!

NIGERIAN DESTINATION WEDDING IN GREECE

NIGERIAN DESTINATION WEDDING IN GREECE

NIGERIAN DESTINATION WEDDING IN GREECE

Organizing a luxurious destination wedding is always a huge challenge for a wedding planner. It requires a lot of work, an enormous amount of knowledge and endless network connections. Carry out this demanding project to the very end with success is a big achievement.

In Avalon Events Organisation, we love challenges, that’s why destination weddings are simply made for us. Wherever you dreamed your ideal wedding we are eager to help you lead it to the happy ending with the closest attention to every detail.

Our last destination wedding was extremely special. The whole three days of celebration for 200 guests took place in the heart of Athens in Greece. Our lovely couple – Funmi and Larry – and all their guests were Nigerians who traveled from far away to celebrate this amazing event in the beautiful surroundings of Greece. This destination wedding in Greece was a genuine mixture of different cultures which in fact created an amazing experience. We couldn’t wait to tell you more about it!

This wedding was like a fairytale with love, laughter, dance and cordiality in the background.

The first day has a character of introduction to the Greek culture. A picturesque walk in the heart of antique Athens got everybody in the mood.

In beautiful and traditional Taverna in Plaka in Athens, couple, their family and friends enjoyed typical Greek cuisine. An excellent meal was accompanied by the sounds of traditional Greek music. One of the attractions was Greek sirtaki dancers. They were dressed in three different traditional Greek outfits. Their performance included a dance show, as well as, a dance lesson. It was a funny and engaging experience and everybody simply loved it.

Another Greek tradition was “plate smashing”. The couple broke plates, what in Greek tradition symbolize a new beginning. Funmi and Larry threw away their old life and embraced a new one together. To commemorate this evening couple and their guests had a photo session at the bottom of Parthenon.

The second day of this amazing celebration started in an unusual way. The couple and their closest friends and family headed for new kind of amusement. They spend the afternoon in the “Great Escape Room” in the center of Athens. It was a lot of fun and apparently, everybody loved it.

 

The evening passed under the sign of the great celebration. We organized a “Fire and Ice” party at the seaside Greek restaurant. The rules were simple. All the men were dressed in red and all the women in white.

 

All the decorations were also in white and red with the arrangements that symbolized this two elements. All the guests were welcomed by Eros and Aphrodite with wings, arch and love-arrows.

 

The other attractions of this amazing evening were a magician who surprised the couple on their entrance and stilt-walkers. The main highlight of the party’s entertainment was a skillful artist who played with fire. His amazing performance got a great applause. The whole evening was full of fun, laughter and of course, DANCE accompanied by extremely gifted DJ from London.

 The Big Day started with lots of scrupulous preparations.

 

 It was so special, given the bride had twelve bridesmaids and “Belles du Jour” on her side. Pimped up with some champagne and girls talk the whole morning was a pure fun. The specialists from London took care that the bride and her team looked flawless.

The couple got to the church by two vintage cars in the cream colors, one for the bride and her papa (dressed in traditional Nigerian outfit), one for the groom and his mom. Bridesmaids and groomsmen were taken by two minivans.

The ceremony took place in the catholique Greek church.

 After the moving ceremony, refreshments and Greek finger food were served. Then all the guests were taken to the reception. Before the party has begun the couple had a stunning photo session outside the venue with their stylish, vintage cars.

The arrival of the couple to the reception was purely magic and beautiful. It was made in the authentic Nigerian style. The couple and their maids were dancing while entering the venue led by the master of ceremony dressed in the traditional Nigerian outfit. It was joyful and full of happiness scenery.

 

 The whole wedding was simply filled with dance and never ending fun. It was also very emotional and moving. The speeches given by friends and family were very touchy, showing love and attachment.

 Wedding menu was composed of five international meals and buffet. The cake was served in the garden accompanied by lights and sparkles which added a lot of charm and magic to that special night.

 Venue decorations were chic and elegant. The colors were white and gold with loads of beautiful white flower, candles and mirrors. Loving couple was sitting alone at the long table on the stage like King and his Queen.

 This luxurious destination wedding in Greece was really special. Funmi and Larry got our hearts forever. We will remember for a long, long time how they were dancing, laughing and enjoying this special moment. Simply beautiful.
