It’s Time for Fusion
Almost each and every fairytale ends up in a grand wedding, and in this part of the story it is expected for the prince and princess to live happily ever after. But what if fairytales do happen in real life? If you consider your own love story to be a fairytale romance, then why not spice it up a bit by having a hip, modern, trendy wedding?
It’s time to break away from that traditional white wedding; times have changed, and since you’re already living at the 21st century, it’s about time to add some new magic to your wedding, beginning with the motif down to the ceremony. You now have the freedom to fuse all the creative ideas you can think of and unite them into one big extravaganza. Besides, your wedding is not just any mere event; it’s a celebration of love.
Fusion Tip No.1: East Meets West
Most traditional weddings cling to a certain routine or cultural standard. But why not take a big leap and meet the differing cultures that exist today? You may opt for a religious ceremony, but when it comes to reception, why not have the world in your dance floor by mixing hip-hop and rumba, trance with salsa? These varying cultures add more life to your wedding and hence the celebration becomes more alive.
Fusion Tip No.2: Fusion Food!
Restaurants and caterers have a standard menu for wedding receptions, and you may find these play-safe meals boring. Why not experiment this time and introduce new cuisines to your guests? Nowadays fusion cuisines are becoming more and more popular since people from different parts of the globe get to interact more often. It’s nice to get to know their dishes as well.
Fusion Tip No.3: Let the Colors Unite
Who says white is the color for weddings? You can choose to be a bride of your favorite color, especially nowadays when the fashion trends go bolder and brighter. You can see a lot of red hot brides these days, so why not be one as well. Believing in your chosen color would unleash your inner beauty, thus you’ll become a real hot bride on your wedding day.
You can also experiment on different colors on your wedding motif. There’s no need to stick to one color shade; you can use the whole palette if you want to, as long as you come up with the right harmony.
Fusion Tip No.4: Set the Tropics Indoors
If you’re planning for an indoor wedding but still want it to be unique, then you can turn the venue into a tropical island getaway-even if it’s located indoors. You can actually do this by propping up tropical flowers all around the venue, with matching candles which have to be lit during the reception. Letting the breeze inside your venue is also recommended, so you and your guests would feel nature’s breath flowing into your wedding.
Fusion Tip No.5: Personalize it!
Finally, the best way you can enjoy a modern wedding is by adding a personalized touch in the whole event. Seek less help from the wedding consultants, and take time to prepare the invitations and souvenirs with your groom. Adding self-composed messages totally delve away from traditional practices, and you get to optimize your freedom by expressing your feelings of love, joy and commitment. This way all your guests would feel that you and your groom truly are a match made in heaven, and are destined to live happily ever after.
