Having a wedding in the country doesn't have to mean that it will be totally rustic or casual. There are ways to balance the natural beauty of a country setting with the elegance of a wedding. Here are some thoughts on how to host a country chic wedding...
An elegant country wedding is all about striking the right balance. You want to play up the things that are so special about the countryside, while still finding ways to have a chic ceremony and reception. If the pendulum swings too far in one direction or the other, the effect will not be quite right. For instance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it would be silly to try to have the same style wedding in a field as you would in a city loft or the Ritz-Carleton. You would lose what makes your setting beautiful and it would also look like you were trying too hard. On the other hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that doesn't have to mean seating your guests on hay bales and serving fried chicken for dinner either (unless that is your thing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!).
The bride's attire will always set the tone for a wedding, so that is a good place to start. Country chic means choosing a gown that will be in harmony with a natural setting, but one that still has that dash of sophistication and elegance about it. For an outdoor wedding, it is better to stick with softer embellishments, and avoid anything too bright or sparkly. A gown in a great cut that is created in an all-over lace or an organza would be an excellent choice. On the other hand, a rhinestone encrusted wedding dress with a cathedral length train would just look silly.
You should keep the same balance of elegance and proportion in mind when selecting your [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] for the wedding. Handcrafted bridal jewelry is a nice choice, because it can be sophisticated and stylish, without being too over the top. Having bridal jewelry that is handcrafted just for you means that you can get the perfect pieces to complement your wedding gown. The other main [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to think about are your shoes and your veil. For an outdoor country wedding, you want to make sure that your veil does not drag on the ground,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that your heels will not get stuck in the grass.
Food is key at any wedding, and for a country chic style,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will have many terrific menu choices. There are many chefs who specialize in preparing local food and regional favorites in a delicious yet unpretentious manner. A country wedding should certainly celebrate the bounty of nature, and yet at the same time, the presentation can be thoughtful and beautifully designed.
The same concept can be applied to your wedding flowers. An outdoor centerpiece doesn't have to mean daisies in old crockery (although that can in fact be a great look), but nor should you have centerpieces that compete with the inherent beauty of nature. Instead, think about designing bouquets and centerpieces that are inspired by the local landscape, and choose vessels that are stylish but not ostentatious.
A country chic wedding is a wonderful concept. It is really about finding a compromise between natural elements and the style of the bride and groom. Adding a touch of elegance to the great outdoors will make for a truly lovely wedding design.
The manageress and a guy behind a till were the only people in the shop and I made my way to the walk-in beer fridge at the back. Over the months they had got to know me well and no doubt had their own thoughts about me. But I was probably one of their best customers so they always treated me politely. They could not have failed to notice the huge amounts of booze that I was buying.As I made my way to the beer fridge the shop assistant appeared out of nowhere and greeted me. "Sawubona,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he said. He seemed to stare right into my very soul. I wondered what was he thinking. He sometimes helped me to the car and today would be no different. No doubt I was a shock to him as well. Maybe I was too paranoid. Sure I was gaunt, filthy and sickly-looking but then maybe there were plenty of people like me coming in and out of the bottle store every day. Maybe all that intrigued them was where the money was coming from. That must be a mystery as I looked like a typical down and out. Bugger it. Let them ponder.
The cold beer fridge revived me a little and I always stayed a couple of minutes longer than necessary. I found my beer and asked the assistant to help me carry the case to the till. There I fumbled for the money and handed it over to the guy. He remained silent and passed me the change which I gave to the assistant. He mumbled a quiet "Siyabonga," and carried the case to the car.I felt that I had no choice any more. The liquor consumed all my mental and physical energy. The people who came and went in my life saw me as a babbling wreck. I comforted myself with the thought that they should see me when I was deprived of my beers.I stopped at the fridge long enough to sink a cold one and then walked into the office. My entrance went unnoticed and only Mary looked up and asked how I was feeling. Plonking myself down, I couldn't fail to notice that it had turned into a lovely day.
