How did you come up with the idea of a wedding outside the city?

Ksenia Korennaya - creator and director of the Nuances event studio - For a couple and her family, this is truly an incomparable experience - to receive guests in your home, to feel comfortable and relaxed, while getting ready for the bride in your own bedroom, where every detail is painful familiar, where the walls inspire calm and seem to whisper “everything will be fine.” This condition is worth all the difficulties and peculiarities of working on sites of this type.

Veronika Zhukova - creator and decorator of the VZ Decor studio - The newlyweds rented this cottage for the New Year holidays, it was then that they liked the place itself, the large area (about 30 acres), the hospitable host, the proximity to Moscow and the adequate price-quality ratio. When the question arose of where to hold the wedding, the guys made their choice in favor of the cottage for the same reasons.

Irem Dvoryaninova-Ananyeva - wedding planner - The idea of a wedding in a country house was born from the following basic requirements: the ability to accommodate at least 50 guests for 2 nights; the possibility of holding a wedding both in a banquet hall and in a tent on the street, economic benefits.

Olga Garifullina - our reader, a bride who recently became a wife - A wedding is, first of all, a holiday for close friends and relatives, a reason to get together and have fun. Since we liked the rustic style, the main criterion for the venue of the holiday was the presence of a large green lawn on which various interactive zones could be placed: exit registration, a buffet line, a relaxation area, a place for writing wishes, two photo zones. The white tent did not fit into our concept at all, so we began to consider options for country houses.

How to decorate a wedding in a cottage: design ideas

Decorating a cottage for a wedding in most cases looks standard: you need to decorate the banquet hall, the cottage itself and the courtyard. Therefore, the newlyweds themselves usually do the decoration of the venue and off-site registration. Any ideas?

An excellent solution for decorating the entrance to the cottage would be a path strewn with rose petals, on which the very first photos from the wedding will be taken. Garlands and transparent balloons with bright filling inside also look unusual. When decorating a banquet hall, you should pay attention to the tablecloth and furniture covers. And when decorating the surrounding area, it is advisable to divide it into thematic zones: a place for registration, a photo zone, a place to relax, a dance floor, and then combine all these zones with decorative details in one style.

Lake house

The presenter is also the toastmaster

When planning a home wedding, people often neglect the services of a professional host. Sometimes this is justified, for example, if most of the guests are elderly people who do not want active entertainment and will be satisfied with table conversations.

If we are talking about a motley company consisting of several generations, it is impossible to do without a toastmaster. Only he can direct the wedding in the right way and give everyone fun.

For a presenter, working at home is not standard; he rarely has to deal with such orders. You need to discuss all the nuances with him at least a month in advance and together create a scenario for a wedding at home, different from the usual restaurant one:

room size;
room lighting;
organizing a dance floor (is it possible in principle).

This is the minimum list. Don't get complacent when choosing pageants for your wedding at home. The companies will be of different ages and social groups.

Ask the host to provide what kind of competitions he plans to do for a wedding at home in order to assess whether these entertainments are suitable for a small room. If you ignore this aspect, then some entertainment may not go according to plan.

Cool buy-outs for weddings are often practiced; in a private home it is much easier to carry them out. However, remember that the wedding scenario in a narrow circle at home should be different from the standard one in a restaurant or cafe.

DIY wedding preparations

We decided that we would hold the wedding with family and friends on separate days. The wedding with friends was arranged in May, and preparations began in February. We thought through everything down to the smallest detail, but it wasn’t very difficult - we ourselves work in the wedding industry and know how to make it beautiful and convenient. We held a gathering and a banquet at Sasha’s parents’ house. It was completely new, and as soon as the snow melted, we began to improve it (paint the walls, clean the area, lay the lawn); my parents helped a lot here.

Sasha built a fence, laid a lawn, and with his best friend they built a canopy under which the wedding dinner was held. I thought out the decor of the table down to the smallest detail: in the middle of it there was a path of olive branches and tall candles, we bought dishes at Ikea, my mother helped sew linen napkins, and the decorator made a beautiful table setting.

Plaskinino Wedding Park

Disadvantages of holding a celebration in a cottage

Despite the advantages of holding a celebration in a cottage, such a wedding organization also has a number of disadvantages:

Difficulty in transporting guests. If some guests have to go to work in the morning, and the banquet intends to continue until the evening, then leaving the event becomes a problem. The solution will be a transfer that can transport guests from the wedding. But this can cost a lot of money. Therefore, check in advance how many guests will stay in the cottage overnight and who will need to be taken home.
Neighbours. Most large cottages are located in villages and suburbs. Therefore, people living next to such a cottage may not like loud music and screams.
Weather. There are a lot of things you can control at your wedding, but the weather will never be one of them. Even if the forecast shows the sun on the desired date, do not rush to rejoice and plan the entire festive part in the fresh air. This is especially true for weddings in June, because it is in this month that the likelihood of thunderstorms and rain is very high. Therefore, prepare the event in such a way as to provide for all possible scenarios and not be caught by surprise by the elements.
