It's official now: the wedding season has opened, but in light of the Corona restrictions, the festive and exciting event is still limited to 100 attendees. This necessitated the couples who were to be married at a large wedding with hundreds invited to re-arrange to celebrate in the limited format. But instead of being disappointed, one can also discover the many benefits of having a limited wedding. 

"In fact, intimate events have the potential to be far more exciting, meaningful and experiential," encourages Inbal Rotem, owner of "Bebka Productions", which specializes in producing special experience events, where each event receives a unique character. "A small, intimate event is made up of people who really know and are close to the couple, without friends of their parents from work, cousins ​​of cousins ​​and other social obligations. In fact, those who accompany the couple in their intimate wedding will be the people who accompany them in their lives and really know them, and those Become very special and exciting weddings. "

Noa Shapira Harash, CEO of Hefi Wooding, also reinforces that saying a small wedding of 50 and 100 people can be "as excellent and fun as a 500-person wedding." She says, "In any event, even in the larger events of hundreds Guests, at the end of the party, stay 60-50 guests who are close family and friends, so there is no real change. 

"Today, 50 people can be found in a budget of a few thousand shekels," says Shapiro softly, adding: "Usually in small event gardens that are ready to provide the couple only the courtyard with the canopy for a few hours, plus a staff member who will serve drinks and an amplification system that allows connection to a playlist. The venues also offer their own kitchen for an extra fee, so there is no need to hire high-priced outdoor catering. " 

Inbal Rotem offers creative solutions for places where small weddings can be held: "50 people can enter most yards, so even if you don't have a yard you can ask a friend or family member to lend you such. Sometimes a community community center is happy to provide the closed space without Cost, and also a non-working restaurant, that would be happy to rent out its yard for an inexpensive amount. "Rotem says that as a company that specializes in intimate events, she has already produced a wedding in the industrial design studio of the Holon Institute of Technology for a couple of students who studied in the department." And you can also get married in the yard of a winery, and wherever there is currently no gatherings and gatherings of visitors. " 

Change your thinking

Having realized that even small weddings can be joyful, one can discuss the benefits that they have over large weddings, and the creative ways that allow them to be upgraded to a memorable event, even one that replaces the original wedding. 

"The idea is to change the mindset," Rotem Mbabaka says. "The fact that there is no dance does not mean that the wedding will be less joyful. Dancing is not always suitable for everyone, sometimes even the married couples do not like to dance, and there are definitely benefits to small events. You can, for example, replace the dance music with a musical composition that will give a good performance, and even try your luck with the beloved singer. You might agree to appear at a good price because it is thirsty for the audience, and performing at such an intimate event may excite and delight him. "

Rotem also offers a similar experience in the food industry, which does not work broadly and leaves many chefs free. "Guests can also indulge in a limited wedding at groom and bride-to-be-loved dishes from a particular restaurant - for example, the groom's favorite chickpeas, or the bride's chocolatier's special chocolates. You can also incorporate a mini-workshop stand to share guests with cocktails, or a favorite dish. . 

A limited wedding also allows for greater investment in personal design. Shapiro Harash offers to invest in special flower arrangements at tables, and Ruth notes that you can rent crystal serving utensils that are usually very expensive, or order cloth napkins for serving with special embroidery. "You can also develop pictures of the guests who are supposed to attend the wedding and hang them on a side wall," she adds. 

Diverse activities 

At a limited wedding that has no dance party, there is room for enrichment, and at Babka, events recommend social games based on the couple's close acquaintance with the couple, and spouses' personalities and stories, Rotem offers. "It can be in the form of a questionnaire about the couple (how it is registered with her on mobile, who started with whom, who knew them and the like) to be shared with guests and the answers to it will appear in a pre-made wedding movie. All the guests can also be produced in advance and have an exciting wedding film Another familiarity game is the KAHOOT Family Trivia app, which all guests install on mobile devices and are required to answer questions in real time, with the right answers screened on the screen, alongside guest scores. " 

And when there is a relatively limited number of invitees, there are other ways to pamper them. Rotem and Shapira softly recommend investing in personalized gifts to be given to guests at the end of the event as a souvenir. "You can order personalized gifts such as beer or wine with a label on which the couple is photographed, and even prepare for guests a recipe book from recipes collected from guests and family." 

In the styling for the home wedding, Gili Algbi, the brand's ambassador for terzema, offers some tips for dressing, makeup and hair. "Since it's a home wedding, the groom and bride's clothing can be less binding or overblown. For a groom who prefers not to wear a suit, it is advisable to go for flattering black jeans and combine a flattering shirt that compliments the body with a light and flattering jacket.

The bride can also wear a less exaggerated dress, which can also be in shades and cream and not necessarily white, and three-quarters long and not necessarily full. Even those invited to a home wedding can give up the classic attire that they wear at weddings and wear lighter, comfortable and colorful clothes. 

"If you are a bride who doesn't like makeup and prefers a lightweight wedding look, you should apply a glowy face-up makeup that will give the skin a soft, beautiful base, and instead of excessive makeup, accentuate the lips in a dominant shade of red or pink. In the tanned look of the cleavage and arms, mix a little of the makeup you used on the face with body lotion, and apply to these areas. "

In conclusion, Algabi recommends drinking plenty of water as early as the day before the event to soothe the skin with moisture. He also recommends to wash your hair with a nourishing shampoo the day before, and complete the overlap with a hair mask. "If your hair has been smooth and you need to arrange it for the event, you should go for the wild look. As a type of moisturizer. Then dry the hair remotely with a diffuser, ponytail aspherics and rollers at the tip of the skull.
