What is a Twilight Wedding?
A twilight wedding is for those couples who wish for a relaxed yet romantic wedding. These types of weddings start after 5:30 pm, thus skipping wedding breakfast and lunch and going directly to the reception. Anytime after 5:30 pm is the right time for the twilight wedding. This is a great option if you want to avoid the pressure of entertaining the guests for the whole day, and it simultaneously reduces the expenses and is a major budget saver.
Let’s not wait anymore and get to the details!
Sunset Romance
Isn’t it wonderful how the sky turns out to be the perfect palette of colors, with the calming blue, striking red, and soothing orange hues around the glowing yet dim sunshine?
That would be the perfect background for your grand day. But if you want it to be perfect, it should be done after long research. Why not pick a stone eternally beautiful as moissanite could convey the romance in an entirely candid form. The first one would be the timing; this is subjective and depends upon the time zone of the location. Here, the weather apps come in handy, but as people say, we can’t always depend upon technology. It is always recommended to check resources and monitor the sunsets in the days moving up to your big day.
After getting an overall idea about the timings of sunset, make sure that you start the ceremonies 30-40 minutes before, so that your photographer can get the best candid sunset wedding shots.
The Beauty of Stars
What is more beautiful than being under the stars and looking deep into the eyes of your loved one during your first dance as a married couple? There are no secrets; however there are some secrets to happy wedding.
If you are considering the idea of a traditional wedding, you may not find time for such beautiful moments, as it would be a long and draining ceremony. By the time of the dance, you’d want to call it a day!
So, to avoid such problems, choose the twilight wedding ceremony where you and your guests can get all the rest you want in the morning, and then dance the night away!
Just because the ceremony is during the night, that does not mean that the fun should be any less. You can book fire dancers, get some sparklers, disco balls; organize light shows, and other entertainments that are specially made for the nighttime.
Midnight Snack
There is a saying that if you want to make someone happy, the way is through the stomach!
The ceremony would indeed start later, but that does not mean that you can let your guests starve! You should keep them fed and happy!
All that late-night fun would be quite exhausting, so it is always recommended to keep lots of snacks available for all your guests, like Chunky Chips, Macaroni & Cheese, Noodle Boxes, Hot dogs, bacon betties, pizza, and cupcakes. The late-night meal can be quite fun and delightful, but that’s all up to you.
Locations of Twilight Wedding
All the locations are not the perfect setting for the perfect sunset wedding. It may be beautiful and aesthetically pleasing in the day, but during the sunset or nighttime, it may not have the same effect that it had during the daytime.
Therefore, it is necessary to visit all the sites at night and at the time of the sunset to get an idea about how it would look during your wedding and picture it with your designs and decorations in mind.
Outdoor Wedding Venues
It is always recommended by wedding planners to look for an outdoor wedding venue in order to get the most out of mother earth’s beauty. Outdoor wedding venues are helpful in many ways, as you don’t need to stress about the perfect lighting.
You can use fairy lights and candles to add a perfect touch to the beautiful sunset, thus highlighting the beauty of the view, and when the sun goes down, it will act like a beautiful yet strong light source. While looking for outdoor venues, make sure that it is an accessible area, but at the same time, it should be unique.
Indoor Wedding Venues
If you are choosing to hold the ceremony indoors, make sure that the decor goes in sync with the idea of a twilight wedding. Ask yourself these questions:
- Would the sunset affect the ambiance of the wedding?
- Would the sun change the color scheme of the room?
- What type of lights can be added to enhance the beauty?
- How much lighting is needed to make it bright and beautiful?
- Would it be cold after sunset?
