A fun classic: all the colors of life in a raspberry bridal bouquet

Mystery berry

Do not rush to accuse the crimson color of excessive vulgarity and vulgarity. It's quite the opposite, a bright, rich shade of red with a small amount of blue - the color of raspberry is considered one of the few pure natural shades. The advantages of the crimson color include passion and selflessness, creative flight and daydreaming. It is most often chosen by active, creative and impulsive people.

This is the color of royal poise and heroism; it was not for nothing that it was the main color of the uniforms of the royal court in England.

Clothing ideas for witnesses and guests

If the bride chooses a classic white wedding dress, encourage her bridesmaids to wear purple dresses in various shades. She will look among them like a snow-white pearl among ripe berries.

In any case, the witness should choose an outfit of the appropriate color for herself. It doesn’t have to be all crimson; one or more details will suffice. The same applies to the witness - the color of the shirt or tie will eloquently tell about the theme of the celebration.

Raspberry fresh

For an original summer ceremony, a bright and juicy crimson color will be a wonderful accent that will set the tone for the style of the holiday and bring freshness to the atmosphere of the celebration. But even if your holiday is not in the summer, look how great you can mix this spectacular expressive color. When decorating a wedding hall and organizing a banquet, crimson and other colors look completely different.

• A classic option is a combination in raspberry-blue tones.

• If you want romance and elegance, take a closer look at the design in white-raspberry or pink-raspberry colors.

• A wedding in a raspberry-mint color scheme looks tender and incredibly touching.

• For a fresh and impressive look, choose a wedding in yellow-raspberry, pear or raspberry-green combination.

• Decoration in raspberry-gold colors and shades of noble black will add elegance to the wedding celebration.

• A wedding in raspberry-violet and dark crimson style will look truly chic.

Bride and groom

We’ve decided on the idea of ​​a berry wedding, now it’s time to think about the images of the newlyweds and how the guests should dress for such an event. But first things first.

Classics of the genre

Thinking through the image of the young, you can focus on the classic version:

• snow-white dress for the bride
• blue or black suit for the groom.

If you add a dash of crimson to the newlyweds’ outfit, you’ll get the perfect couple.

In her unique outfit, the bride can play up the main color of the celebration:

• Embroidery or belt on the dress
• shoes
• Handbag
• Bouquet
• Accessories

For the groom, add crimson details to the suit:

• Tie or bow tie
• Vest
• Boutonniere

With taste

If you want a unique wedding, choose an exclusive raspberry wedding dress.
That's how the brides are in these photos. Or maybe your groom is ready to wear crimson trousers, a shirt or even a full suit to support the thematic idea.

And, in my opinion, these happy couples look very fresh and organic. Do you agree?

Mischievous and playful

Want a stylish, fun and vibrant robin's wedding? Then here are some ideas for you.

• Choose bright shoes for the bride and socks for the groom

• Wedding in dudes style with an emphasis on the juiciness of raspberries

• Sneakers, not shoes - comfortable, fashionable and playful

Color compositions

Most often, traditional white is chosen as a duet for raspberry - it makes the combination more airy and removes excessive brightness. This combination looks extremely advantageous in the hands of blondes, but girls with dark hair may also like it.

A brighter option is red. This combination is best suited for hot brunettes, and will also require the inclusion of both shades both in the elements of the bride’s image and in the overall wedding decor. Red and crimson are the choice of passionate, impulsive and strong-willed girls planning a boho, tropical or gypsy wedding.

Advice! To make the fiery combination look softer, add more fresh greenery in the form of fern leaves, bergrass, and gypsophila.

For a non-standard wedding, for example, in the theme of dudes, the ideal solution is a combination of crimson and black. It is extremely contrasting, but at the same time striking in elegance. Both shades are sure to be reflected in the bride’s appearance, for example, in the form of black arrows and crimson lips.

A calmer and deeper option is raspberry and blue, suitable for dreamy and creative young ladies.

Green and crimson are also a rather elegant and at the same time completely natural combination.

Yellow, orange or purple are acceptable, but be very careful with specific shades and remember harmony, because even the brightest bouquet should not overshadow the bride.

What about the guests?

The guests will be lucky, I’ll tell you a secret, if they receive raspberry invitations to the wedding celebration.
This is where there is room for choosing outfits. And all because for a wedding with a bright crimson playful color, almost all colorful shades of blue, orange, green, pink and yellow are suitable. Look what positive, bright and cheerful photos you will get at such a holiday. What do you say?

What else is there[edit]

• Anachronism. Yashka could hardly have known about the fashionable dance in Europe “to that steppe” - the two-step reached Europe several years after the period described in the film.
• Angst? What angst? Yashka the artilleryman, having learned that his village had been burned to the ground, was worried about this for half a minute, after which he again became cheerful and cheerful. Although he was not told that no one was injured during the destruction of the village. Maybe he just saw everything in the war, and that’s why he became mentally hardened. However, upon hearing this news, for the only time in the film, he quietly says harshly and without the slightest mockery: “These are the bastards.”
• Anti-alcohol advertising. Using the example of the Gritsian warriors, who went on a drinking binge at the end of the film, it is clearly shown how combat-ready an army is, in which “the horses are drunk, the lads are harnessed.”
• An army of thieves and whores. Gritsian's "army" is made up of who knows who - from yesterday's thieves to yesterday's "cops", a lady nicknamed Red is also present with dubious behavior. All this rabble is dressed in anything (Popandopulo presses the pedal to the floor) and is prone to robbery and drunkenness. They are armed accordingly: half of the six machine guns are faulty, and Popandopulo secretly swapped the seventh machine gun for pants. In general, it is strange that these warriors have not yet been defeated - despite their numerical superiority, an army with such discipline is capable of little.
• Poor is good, rich is bad. Balyasny is shown as a typical bad rich man. Positive villagers are not exactly poor, but they are far from rich either.
• Good sun. The film literally begins with this: the Reds arrive in the vicinity of Malinovka at dawn, and the rising sun symbolizes the beginning of something new and good.
• Bluff. Yashka, trying to take his grandfather’s boots, threatens him with a gun. When the grandfather, seizing the moment, takes possession of the gun and tries to scare Yashka, he is not afraid: he knows that it is not loaded.
• Sword fight. The climactic duel between Nazar and Gritsian at checkers. But the red cavalry didn’t have to use sabers against the bandits (otherwise it wouldn’t have been a good comedy).
• Barefoot involuntarily. Yarina takes off her shoes while fleeing Popandopulo to swim. Yashka, too, as it turned out, was forced to stomp barefoot, because some bandit took his boots from him in the morning. And then the artilleryman himself takes away the boots from grandfather Nechipor with an amusing argument: “An honest man took them off you, but a bandit took them off me” (and he’s not lying, no other dishonorable actions were noticed in him, and even this one was quickly hushed up).
• Amazon Brigade. In a comic version: Yashka trained some kind of militia from the local “Frau-Madame”. I learned not only to walk in formation with rakes and scythes, but also to shoot. True, in terms of shooting, it turned out to be his favorite “bang-bang and by”, but he managed to frighten his enemies - there were no people willing to run into a random bullet. In the finale, the warriors of the “battalion” even manage to prove themselves by capturing Popandopulo.
• A villain in love. Gritsian is really partial to Yarina in his own way and is trying to gain her favor in the best villainous traditions - in particular, by threatening to burn Malinovka to the ground.
• War is funny. Of course, this is a good comedy film, so here the Reds are cheerful and noble, and their enemies are not scary, but comical. In reality, the Civil War was still grimdark. They defeat these enemies with jokes and jokes, actually driving them away with kicks - you understand what the consequences of a cavalry attack with sabers drawn would actually look like. This also includes Yashka’s memories of the terrible First World War, which for him was reduced to a funny “bang-bang and by.”
• Even evil has standards. We all understand what Gritsian needed from Yarinka, but still he decided to do everything according to the law by marrying her. And even before talking about marriage, I was harassed mostly verbally. Perhaps he valued his reputation, hoping to win over his fellow villagers, or maybe he actually retained certain moral principles.
• Woodsexuality. Yashka talks about his beloved, dark-haired and trouble-free... howitzer, which died in an unequal battle. The interlocutor, by the way, has never heard such words as “howitzer”, and decides that he is a widower.
• Overshadow by adaptation - twice. Most people at least remember about Boris Alexandrov’s operetta, but much less is known about the Ukrainian-language operetta “Vesilla in Malinivtsi” by Alexei Ryabov, which was its basis (but staged in Kharkov due to circumstances almost simultaneously). However, the author of the film script was the librettist of both versions, Leonid Yukhvid.
• It will come from afar. In general, it is clear that Malinovka is just a collective image of a Ukrainian village, but it is obvious that the action takes place much further south than the village of Khoroshki in the Poltava region, where most of the scenes were filmed (including with extras from local residents). In general, filming was carried out in different parts of the Ukrainian SSR, including in a certain Malinovka, but no one can remember where exactly, in the Poltava region or in the Kharkov region (although they agree that it was definitely not in the Kharkov Malinovka where the Popandopulo monument was erected ).
• Improvised weapons. Running away from Popandopulo, Yarinka grabbed the peacefully standing rake and successfully performed the “bang on the back and in half” technique (not the back in half, a rake). And Nazar and Gritsian did not use anything as an auxiliary weapon during fencing.
• Cameo. In the 2011 series “The Life and Adventures of Mishka Yaponchik” there is an episode where in an Odessa prison cell one of the prisoners first sings a song about Marusya, and later turns to Yaponchik: “Listen, why have I become so in love with you?” The unknown prisoner is not called by his last name, but it is not difficult to guess who he is.
• Catchphrase. The film is generally full of quotes, but the following phrases are especially often repeated: “Why am I so in love with you?” at Popandopoulo's. Moreover, more often he says this to men, which, combined with his pretentious appearance, is suggestive.
• Yashkin’s technobabble, with which he charms peasant women: “Tube 15, sight 120. Bam, bam... And by.” By the way, this command has a very real meaning: “Set the fuse (“tube”) reading on shrapnel shells to 15 units, raise the gun barrels from the horizontal position by 120 units.” 15 - setting the fuse for the time after which the projectile will explode in the air, throwing out damaging elements. The elevation angle of the barrel is not measured in degrees (you yourself understand what an “angle of 120” would look like then) - artillerymen have their own, somewhat more complex, system. An angle of 120 thousandths is a little less than 7 degrees from the horizon. The howitzer has a minimum
  elevation angle of 20 degrees. However, maybe Yashka served on howitzer guns?..

Costume porn. The local Ukrainians are so Ukrainian that they wear festive embroidered shirts all the time. White clothes are not particularly suitable for working in, so casual shirts were simpler.

Cool smoker. Nazar, Petrya, Gritsian - smoke rolled-up cigarettes, or even captured English cigarettes.

Cool mustache. Nazar and Gritsian are mustachioed and cool. Grandfather and Yashka, although comic characters, are cool in their own way and also have mustaches. Popandopoulo wears a short mustache, but he's really only cool in words.

Musical tripper. Some songs are particularly catchy. Especially Popandopulo’s song about Marusya in pink stockings.

We would tell you, but... - Andreika and Yarina take turns singing to each other: “Don’t ask me anything, don’t pry me out, don’t pry me out, don’t ask me anything!”

Blatant lie. “I have an entire cavalry division in the monastery,” says Gritsian. This is three thousand horsemen. In fact, “there will be half a thousand faces,” and this is not just like a division, it’s not like the company of that time. However, Yashka also calls his detachment of village women a battalion, although there would hardly be enough population for a battalion (at that time at least 800 people) in all of Malinovka.

This is not a woman's business. Conversation between Andreika and Yarina: “If the Reds come to us, I will go to them. Fight” - “That’s right. And I’m with you” - “You can’t, they’ll kill you.”

Doesn't like shoes. Many villagers go barefoot - constantly or from time to time. Andreika, it seems, never put on shoes at all during the entire film. They also have shoes. The girls dance the first group dance barefoot, the second - in red boots. And this, by the way, is quite realistic: in those times and in those places, shoes were a luxury - relatively affordable for many, but still not a consumable item. The girls dressed up for the second dance, but the first happened suddenly and they had to dance as is. Andreyka, in the story, is an orphan and a poor man, so he simply has no shoes (except for some felt boots for the winter).

A disgusting wedding is a codifier!

The shepherd is careless. Malinovsky the priest got so drunk at the wedding that he was unable to stand, much less marry someone. For some reason he also touched Red’s leg, although it is possible that he was simply trying to lean on her in order to get up.

Change clothes in adaptation. Popandopulo originally wore green riding breeches - made from billiard table cloth. The film does not include a libretto explaining the bathos origin of the fabric, so the trousers in it are made red, which looks very comical on him in combination with the vest. In general, these are pants from the everyday uniform of the hussars of the Russian Imperial Army during the First World War. The previous owner of the pants could have been, for example, a hussar of the Lubensky regiment, which was stationed in Ukraine before the revolution and at one time was part of the troops of the Central Rada. Not only that, but it also leaked back onto the stage - in theatrical productions, the pants are also often red.

Suspiciously specific denial. Yashka the artilleryman and grandfather Nechipor learned that they were fellow countrymen and were trying to remember each other. “It wasn’t you who spied on the bathing girls, and then they dumped you naked in the nettles?” - “Behind the mill, where are the two willows and the cliff? No, not me! Wasn’t it you who drove through Yankovka on a cart with hay and fell asleep, and meanwhile your oxen were taken away?” - “The oxen are gray, one with a spot?” - “Yeah.” - "No, it's not me".

They trample on boots from the Universe - “Pan-Ataman Gritsko Tav... What are you selling?!”

Funny money. A bunch of pieces of paper with the signature and seal of “Minister of Finance Popandopulo” with a total face value of one hundred million. “Take everything, I’ll draw more for myself
.”

Smyshchnoy axent. For Ukrainian-speaking viewers, it looks funny how Russian-speaking actors portray Ukrainians. As a rule, to do this, it is enough to occasionally introduce Ukrainian words into your speech - pronouncing them in the Russian manner. Classics of the genre - “lads
”
,
“
devices
” , “good
”
and so on. Although many people also have correct-sounding variants. The 1937 play, by the way, was originally written in Ukrainian, although the premieres of the performances took place simultaneously in both versions in Ukrainian in Kharkov and in Russian in Moscow.

It rumbles like a machine gun - grandfather Nechipor constantly reproaches his beloved wife Gapusya for this, don’t rush, they say. Although, in general, she doesn’t “rumble” that much from the viewer’s point of view - she (or the actress) simply doesn’t have enough air to chat quickly. Her friend Tryndychikha, as the surname obliges, also loves to trynd (although, again, she could do it faster).

Steal the show. As often happens, the main characters look less bright than the auxiliary comic characters - Yashka and Popandopulo. However, this is an operetta, a similar phenomenon occurs often in this genre. The reason is trivial: the main characters must sing very well, so it is relatively difficult for them to actively play the role (and often it turns out worse - actors who are universally good at everything at once are very rare), as a result, the main acting work, as well as providing comedy, is planned to go to the characters of the second plan.

Good parents. Yarina and her parents are very lucky: she has a very good relationship with her mother, and her father, although he has not seen his daughter since infancy, will tear anyone to shreds for her.

Blackmail is a nasty word. “I’ll make him a chieftain,” Gritsian bursts out in front of Yarina, “I’ll take him into my gang, that is, damn it, into the division.”

I fought for my enemies. Popandopulo was not particularly pleased to learn that his fellow gang member was a former policeman.

I write with an "E":

Viewers often hear "a" instead of "u" in the Greek surname Popandopoulo, and some characters seem to call him that way. It just sounds more Slavic, although still comical. By the way, in the film they also changed the emphasis: in the play he was called Popandopulo. The stress on the penultimate syllable is actually exactly correct in Greek (the final “-s” in the Pontic dialect spoken by Russian Greeks is dropped), but in other languages ​​it regularly creeps forward a syllable.

In addition, the main character's name is Yarina, and not Irina, as viewers sometimes call her. Andreika really pronounces “Yarinka” like “Irinka”. Yes, the first of these names, according to the most common version of the origin, is derived from the second, like “Arina,” but no one calls Pushkin’s nanny Irina Rodionovna.

Floristics

To be honest, decorating a ceremony with fresh flowers on your own without experience working with these delicate creatures is unlikely to work. Unless you're a florist, of course.

I still recommend turning to professional florists for help. They will certainly create luxurious floral arrangements for you to decorate the banquet hall, off-site registration and car.

They will make for you a unique bridal bouquet and a boutonniere for the groom for the cost that you are willing to allocate for this expense item. Here's a look at what beautiful bouquets you can order for a berry wedding. Share your opinion in the comments.

Images of newlyweds

Brides who want to stand out and surprise guests dress up in dresses in blue tones, but those who prefer the usual white wedding dress can safely choose it and complement the look with various accessories of the appropriate color. Also, don’t forget about the girl’s makeup; focus on the eyes using shadows, eyeliner or mascara in a suitable color scheme. You can also add the desired shades to your wedding manicure.

It would be appropriate for the groom to wear a blue suit and a white shirt or a light outfit, diluting it with attributes of the desired colors.

Almost any flowers are suitable for the bride’s bouquet - it can be crocuses, tulips, chrysanthemums, roses, violets, lilies, forget-me-nots, phlox or irises, it all depends on the time of year of the holiday. Decorate the bouquet with a beautiful satin ribbon in the color of your celebration.

Or surprise everyone by appearing at the Soviet Victory in crimson. The delight of the audience is guaranteed. Especially if it is a 1954 Pobeda convertible. But be prepared for the fact that witnesses will have to be put in another car. This baby has only three seats.
