Europe is one of the main trendsetters of wedding trends, but at the same time it also preserves the image of a traditional wedding, which is associated with a lavish celebration surrounded by family and friends. A European-style wedding on Samui in Thailand is a combination of European traditions with Thai nature and seascapes. European couples pay special attention to the location of the ceremony, wedding decoration, gala dinner and think through every detail of the celebration.
As a venue for the ceremony, couples choose a hotel, private villa on Samui, country house, park, vineyard. The main criteria are the availability of an open space where the ceremony itself takes place, the possibility of organizing a dinner in a catering format and, most importantly, a private setting.
A wedding ceremony in Thailand can be held both in an open area: a green lawn, a beach, a pier, a terrace, a garden, a roof; and indoors, for example, in a banquet hall, a library, a ballroom, etc. The size of the room is selected based on the number of guests and the overall theme of the wedding.
Most wedding ceremonies of Western European couples are held in a certain style, which corresponds to every detail of the celebration, from the image of the bride to the design of the wedding cake.
The most popular wedding styles are "Rustic", "Vintage", "Rustic", "Romantic", "Modern", "Nautical", all elements of the wedding decor correspond to the chosen style. Particular attention is always paid to the design of the place where the ceremony itself will take place; not only a classic arch can serve as an altar, but also a silk tent, flower arrangements in vases, as well as bolder decorations made of fabric, ribbons and other materials.
No celebration for European couples is complete without a gala dinner, which is served at the venue of the ceremony. The newlyweds turn either to a local chef, if it is a hotel, vineyard, or to catering services, which provides all the service personnel for the banquet, dining furniture, textiles, as well as open bar services.
The dinner can be served both in an open area and indoors. The format of the dinner depends on the season and the type of wedding venue. An open area gives more opportunities in terms of decoration, where almost any idea can be realized. An indoor dinner room has its own style, so the decor of the wedding dinner must certainly match the style of the venue.
The decoration of a wedding dinner consists of dining room furniture, textiles, floral arrangements, lighting solutions (garlands, candles, lanterns) and other decorative elements.
Depending on the type of seating arrangement, round, square or rectangular tables are used, which can be combined according to a certain pattern, or in the case of round tables, stand separately. All table linens for European couples are usually custom-made, maintaining the overall color scheme and style of the ceremony. Table napkins are often monogrammed with the name of the bride and groom; it is the attention to such small details that is the main distinguishing feature of wedding ceremonies of Western European couples. Each guest's place at the table is marked with a name card, the couple also expresses their gratitude to each guest with a "Thank you" sign located next to the cutlery, and a small symbolic gift that the guests take with them.
Beautiful and elegant table setting is an integral attribute of a wedding dinner, therefore, in addition to the classic table setting with cutlery, serving plates and exquisite decoration of napkins with rings, flowers, ribbons and other decorative elements are added.
The wedding table is decorated with flower arrangements and candles that are lit after sunset.
The open area for the dinner is usually decorated with garlands, paper lanterns, and large flower arrangements. European couples also organize a candy bar with various sweets for children, and an open bar with alcoholic drinks for adults.
Preparing for such a celebration requires a lot of effort and free time, so it is better to resort to the help of a wedding agency or a wedding planner who will think through every detail and help you organize an unforgettable wedding of your dreams.
