The Pandemic has brought a lot of chaos as well as a chance to reflect for us all. For weddings, many couples had to postpone their big days because of lockdown or closure of the venues, however, nothing can stop us love one another. Many couples, after experiencing all these chaos, choose to get married in this unprecedented period of time. Some couples would also grab this opportunity to have a small wedding of their dream without breaking the bank. Lockdown has been lifted slowly, are you planning to get married soon? For intimate weddings and multi-days celebrations, we have posted our top tips in some posts.

大流行給我們帶來了很多混亂,也給了我們一個反思的機會。 對於婚禮,由於各國場地的封鎖或關閉,許多新人不得不推遲大日子,但是,沒有什麼能阻止我們彼此相愛。 經歷了這些混亂之後,許多新人選擇在這個空前的時間裡結婚。 一些新人也抓住這個機會,舉行一場夢想中的小資婚禮。 封鎖已慢慢解除,您打算很快結婚嗎? 我們發布了些帖子中提議小型婚禮和多天的慶祝活動建議。

Below, we would like to introduce elopements type of wedding and describe how we can serve and celebrate with you.下面,我們想介紹私密婚禮的類型,並描述我們的服務和我們如何與您一同慶祝。

You can wake up when you feel the warmth of sunlight instead of waking up because of the alarm and knowing you will rush into a war zone early morning for ‘getting ready’. 您可以在感覺到陽光的溫暖時醒來,而不是因為鬧鐘吵醒,叫您將在清晨進入“作戰區”。

You can wear anything representing your character, white is not the only colour. 喜歡穿甚麼缺穿甚麼,白不是唯一的顏色。

You can invite as few guests as you want, or choose not to invite any at all, instead of having parents and in-laws invite people you may not know well. 您可以邀請少量的賓客,或者不邀請任何賓客,而不是讓父母和姻親邀請您可能不認識的人來您們的婚禮。

You can have the ceremony anywhere as long as the paper is signed. 只要簽署文件,您就可以在任何地方舉行慶典。

You can go bowling with your best friends and share a large bucket of chicken wings and pizza instead of having a formal drinking reception. (You can have it as well if you want.) 您可以和好友去打保齡,共享一大桶的雞翅和比薩,而不必參加正式的酒會。 (如您想的高,當然也可以有酒會。)

You can sit around the campfire and share love stories instead of passing the mic for giving formal speeches which sound like a half an hour lecture. 沒有人喜歡像講課一樣的演講,其實您可以坐在營火旁分享愛情故事。

With or without first dance, to cut a cake or not, these are all your choices, not a must. You don’t need a ‘sparkler exit’ if you don’t want to. In fact, we would like to photograph the way you begin your new life. Getting married in your style – that’s elopement. 無論是否跳舞,要否切蛋糕,這些都是您的選擇。 您不喜歡的話,也不需要以煙花來作散場。 實際上,我們想拍攝一下您開始新家庭的方式。 按照自己的風格結婚-那就是私密式婚禮。


      Tips for planning 規劃提示:

  1. Based on your Love Story – Where do you like to hang out with your partner? What kind of activities represent your character? 根據您的愛情故事製定活動 – 您想在哪裡與伴侶共處? 什麼樣的活動代表您的性格?
  2. Think about the whole day arrangement – Most people just think of the registration ceremony. In fact, it is worth celebrating your love for the day, not just for 1 or 2 hours. This wedding day for you (Regardless how small it is; you see it as the day to sign the paper only; or it is a separate day of your coming bigger celebration) is as important as big weddings. It is because you and your other half worth it. 考慮一下全日的安排 – 大多數人只想到註冊儀式。 實際上,您的愛情值得用一天去慶祝,而不僅僅是1或2個小時。 對於您而言,這個婚禮日(無論它多麼小或您將其視為僅簽署文件的一天,又或者是您即將舉行的大型慶祝活動前的另一天)與大型婚禮一樣重要。 這是因為您和您的另一半值得這樣的慶祝。
  3. Invest in the items and activities that celebrate your love and preserve your memory. 投資在能讓您們保留愛的回憶的物品和活動。
  4. Invite guests who are important to you both.邀請對你倆都重要的賓客。
  5. Be Creative, feel free to take below examples as reference. 用創意去計劃,可採用下面的例子作為參考。
