Show originality and sprinkle your wedding with delicate attentions that will surprise both children and adults! There are many sources of inspiration today… social networks, website, magazines, Pinterest… How to stand out and bet on originality? We give you a few ideas to work on and adapt to your tastes!
As a bride, you will be on the final preparations when the first steps of your guests will be heard on the gravel…. they are early!!! Yeah, because what’s worse than being the last one to arrive? This is the fear of each one of them. Needless to say that everyone will take a more or less important margin, so they won’t miss any moment of your entry! But here it is, they will have absolutely no right to watch, nor to admire all that you will have prepared. So making them wait turns out to be a good idea! The welcome drink, that’s your solution. In the summer, flavored waters, homemade lemonades and iced teas will refresh the congregation and avoid thirst during the ceremony! In winter, you can opt for cinnamon tea, mulled wine and Christmas cookies to warm up even the coldest guests. It’s also a pleasant moment where everyone meets and waits together to be invited through the door…
Of course, we do our best to guarantee a little shade around you and your guests… but we don’t command mother nature! And in Vullierens, even in the shade it can be hot… here again, your proactiveness and kindness will be noticed and appreciated! Small bottles of fresh water, personalized fans, kleenex for mum (yes they will be useful ), sun umbrellas, mist sprayers, sunglasses, straw hat… all personalized with your initials… we are full of ideas!
Let’s celebrate!!!! The champagne is flowing, the glasses are clattering and everyone is wearing their best smile…. Being original in the refreshments is also possible and even very nice … Various spirits, vintage containers, Prosecco cocktail with citrus fruits, compete with ideas and inspiration, it’s time to dazzle your guests!
Let’s talk about the special attentions… Because the gardens and the gravel is very beautiful and bucolic… but not so much for the pretty shoes of the ladies! Think of the little bag of heel protectors to offer at the entrance, the pair of flip-flops that will do some good later, and in winter the good comfort plaid. How about we all put a pretty flower in each other’s hair?
The gentlemen will also be charmed by a barrel on which you can arrange for a cigar or whisky tasting.
Do you have any little kids among your guests? If so, think of them (and of their parents!) as well. Some ideas of activities that will allow everyone to fully enjoy our beautiful terraces and these good times. Bouncy castles? Yes, but not exclusively! Great creative workshops to offer as gifts to the bride and groom, outdoor games, orientation courses, treasure hunts… everything is possible in our 30 hectares of gardens, including a kingdom dedicated to children!
Also think about the uniformity and visual identity that you will have chosen as a couple … Reception panels, table plans and workshop boards. What a pleasure for the eyes that the whole is combined with discreet reminders. Nowadays, ideas are flowing on social networks and it’ s up to who will have the most audacity for the table plan…tree, hanging leaves, world map, the possibilities are endless! It is imperative that the visual harmony of your wedding looks like you and that it can deliver a message that everyone will remember. Your date? The places you’ve enjoyed visiting together? Yes, but not only… Take all the time you need to think about it together!
It might sound a little strange, but it is a common gathering place during a wedding… a place for chatting, make-up and hair adjustments! What could be more delicate than to have pretty baskets filled with products that everyone dreams of making themselves beautiful again? Deodorants, combs, perfumed waters, hand cream with floral aromas, lacquer, a lot of rubber bands… enough to impress your friends with your altruism and we guarantee that the gentlemen will appreciate your gesture just as much!
Château de Vullierens produces 5 wines whose labels are surprisingly original, but can also be personalised. Your guests will be delighted to drink to your health and memories! Scented candles, honey pots, engraved wine stoppers, personalized cookies, but also personal creations if you feel like a DIY soul! Homemade toffee, homemade cookie kit, fruit jam, brandy… you can also differentiate between male and female gifts… Makeup remover embroidered with your two initials?
Because when the party’s going full swing, time flies! 4am is approaching and the first ones are already home… A final touch for the departure? The survival kit for the next day is always highly appreciated … as well as the little wink that everyone will have when they open their eyes the next day, to once again think back to the wonderful and unforgettable party they will have experienced at your side!
Receiving the card is always a pleasure, as well as the pictures to discover that usually go with it… but have you thought about the chocolate plate with your text engraved on it? Magnet to say thank you or personalized kaleidoscope? In short, billions of ideas to make your wedding a unique and magical moment!
Above all, we wish you much, much, much pleasure in these wonderful preparations and in the pleasure of discovering your nice treasures 😉
