The time you decide to have the wedding and ceremony will define many aspects of the celebration, from the groom and/or bride's outfits, the food and even how some of your guests will wake up the next day. What is the perfect time? Here are some ideas to consider when choosing the best time for the wedding.

Daytime bride and groom

A daytime wedding has many elements that set it apart, aside from the schedule. They tend to be outdoors, country style, and can even be a bit more relaxed.

You can start the celebration with a mid-day ceremony, followed by an outdoor cocktail reception and lunch, or, if you're opting for a civil marriage or non-traditional ceremony (which tend to be a little shorter) you can welcome your guests with the cocktail reception, then move on to the ceremony. That way no one is distracted by being a little hungry.

Event Center

If you want to get married outdoors and enjoy the light and natural surroundings, getting married in the middle of the day may be the best option. Daytime marriages have several benefits The daytime allows guests to move around more easily, so you can look for event venues that are a little further away.

Costumes

As we said before, daytime marriages can be a little more casual This will allow both the groom and the bride to play with their looks.

The groom can opt for a printed suit or untraditional colors, combining colors such as the traditional look of beige with navy blue, perfect for a wedding by the sea and dancing during the afternoon.

In the case of the bride, you can choose a bohemian look, using colorful accessories and natural flowers that are related to your environment. For the fabrics of the dress, you can opt for natural fabrics or a little heavier lace. But be careful, just because it's daytime doesn't mean you won't be able to have the glitter or princess dress you had in mind, but you have to consider the environment so that you can have the perfect dress.you feel comfortable.

Decoration

How to decorate a daytime wedding? It's very easy! If you choose an event center that is in a natural environment such as a forest or field, half the work is already done. To decorate even more, we recommend choosing natural elements such as flower arches for the altar, and use reusable decorations (we don't want to generate extra garbage outdoors) such as fabric garlands, bottle candlesticks, among others.

Get up and prepare calmly, without having to get up early or rush around. If that is your perfect plan for your wedding day, then you should choose an afternoon ceremony. It can be as early as 5 pm if you are having a long ceremony.

Getting married at sunset has an extra benefit which is the romanticism that this light will give to the environment. In addition, the so-called Golden Hour or that golden light of the sunset, will be your best ally for the bride and groom's photo session.

Event Centres

If the wedding is at night and do not want to spend time outdoors, you can choose a hotel room and take advantage of all the amenities they have for this type of event. Some of the benefits of choosing this type of event center, is that almost a call is enough to solve all aspects of marriage. The hotels have excellent facilities, so you do not need to call the hotel to make your wedding a success.They also have their own kitchens so you can adapt the menu to your needs and everything will arrive perfect at the table.

If your ceremony is going to be right around sunset time, take advantage of this moment to shock everyone with incredible views of your city by choosing an event center that has a panoramic view.

Costumes

It's time to throw the house for sale and bring out your best looks! The night has no limits for the bride, and this is where you can choose dresses full of rhinestones, lace, feathers, all the details you want. Dresses a little sexier or with large amounts of fabric and tails or eternal veils as you enter the hall. It's the perfect opportunity to leave everyone with their mouths open.

As for the groom, you can opt for more elegant fabrics and some textures. Ideally you should keep your suit in shades in the range of blue or grey, but it's all a matter of personality. If you want to draw attention with a bolder look, a velvet jacket is perfect to surprise your partner and guests.

Decoration

Light is an excellent element to decorate at night and create romantic and intimate atmospheres. With paper lanterns running through outdoor spaces, or lights hanging from a tree creating the perfect place for all your guests to have their official wedding photo taken. Hanging lamps, garlands of lights, chandeliers and centerpieces with lights, are very versatile and can be used to create the perfect place for your guests to take their official wedding photo.complement with accessories that help them to show their personality in every detail.

The time for your wedding will define almost every aspect of the celebration, except the guest list and the desire you have to take this step and celebrate in style.
