Born
in the 90s, weddings I saw during my childhood are quite different from what we
see these days. Weddings of today seem to be a great task, and if you’re caught
up in the heat of the moment, you may be a habitual procrastinator. I mean,
living under the clouds of social media, one would have to create a hashtag,
and even provide phone-charging stations at your wedding… and that’s the least
of your headaches. But hey, wear a big smile. Top Weddings Africa has got you!
What
would we define as the ideal wedding? A
wedding which is well planned and executed to meet your classical desire. As
others fancy huge flowers, expensive gowns and drone photography, some people
prefer keeping it simple. The choice is yours. The point is to make it
enjoyable, and serve memories.
The
youth have started catching a new craze; investing a lot into wedding
photoshoot. Everyone wants to outdo the gallery he/she glimpsed recently,
reason why Aero Shutter always has weekend duties. The average active young man
or woman is currently attracted to what he/she sees or watches more than what
he/she reads as a text message, poster or invitation card. They’d probably want
to be mesmerized by how you twin outfits with your partner, the relief features
in the background, or how ‘hippy’ the next couple is. Hence, pre-wedding
photoshoot has become a necessity.
It
comes with selecting the right clothing, choosing the best sights, hooking with
the finest make-up artist, employing an expert photographer to visualize the
best of you through his lens, and probably putting up your best of moods.
Not
to do away with the traditional invitation cards, which has become a battle of
innovation and creativity now. I clearly recall the first time I got mind blown
about such cards was when it had the design of the WhatsApp theme. It was so
accurate! Music fans can’t wait to click the Play button on a new Kanye West
video because he always has something new to feed the hungry eyes. That gives a
clue that no one would want to see your usual form of invitation card. Spice it
up with a creative theme which will still contain all the necessary details.
The
most asked question when weddings are being discussed these days is “Which
colours did the couple choose?” Colours represent a lot in our world. The
Catholic liturgy indicates that violet represents penance, humility and
melancholy, whilst green signifies hope and life eternal. You don’t have to
choose a colour because it’s the new wave. There should be reason attached. It
should reflect what you as the couple represent, the theme, and fit into the
time of the year, etc.
Preparations
would have to go into planning and budgeting for one of the most memorable days
in your life. A lot!
