Carnival wedding - is it a good idea?

In winter, the most popular time for weddings is around Christmas. These ceremonies usually have a sublime, solemn character and an unusual atmosphere. Christmas decorations of the hall, church and streets play a large part in its creation. However, winter offers one more excellent aspect that is still underestimated by many couples - it is, of course, a carnival wedding.

Carnival wedding - it's time to party!

Carnival is the time of winter balls, masquerades and games. The tradition of carnival games was born in Italy in the Middle Ages. It is now cultivated in many regions of the world. In Poland, this period is known as Zapusty. Millions of tourists visit Rio de Janeiro every year because they all want to take part in the city's famous carnival. Although each country has its own carnival traditions, they have many things in common. This is the moment when we want great fun, colorful costumes and decorations, music, dancing and singing and masquerades. A carnival wedding fits perfectly into such a dancing, unusual time.

Costume party

Can you imagine better circumstances for organizing a wedding? And if we add that in winter wedding halls and service providers often offer young couples various promotions, it is impossible to pass by this option indifferently. Winter wedding it really has many advantages!

Carnival wedding - white magic

It is often referred to as a "magical wedding" or "a fairy-tale wedding". What does that really mean? It's not just about the ceremony being buttoned up and all the guests having a good time. That "something" is still needed. A unique setting and atmosphere that will allow us to move to the world of fairy tales and stories and make this day truly special. It will provide us with three elements.

First, the winter weather – white fluff covering everything, snowflakes falling around, the glow of torches, lanterns and candles… In such surroundings, the wedding takes on a truly fairy-tale character. Another important thing is our wedding venue. In winter, wedding receptions organized in the mountains have something magical about them. Nothing compares to riding a horse-drawn cart to the wedding hall, passing mountains, forests, valleys, castles and palaces along the way.

As our wedding expert Joanna Hoc-Kopiej emphasizes: “No less important is yourself wedding venue – here a perfect example is the manor house Ballroom in the Crown of the Karkonosze Manor. This is one of the highest rooms in the region (9 m), with a restored 100-year-old wooden vault and a truly royal, crimson color of the walls. This creates the perfect atmosphere for a fairy-tale wedding, and every bride can feel like a real princess,” she concludes her statement.

Winter wedding in the mountains

A carnival wedding means a winter wedding. So you can take advantage of attractions that are available only at this time of the year. And actually only in the mountains, taking into account the climate. Wedding in Poland in the mountains, for example in the Karkonosze Mountains, in winter means an atmospheric event during which we can break wedding patterns. And if it's a carnival, why not? Why not arrange parties surprising, different from all?

Sleigh ride first! The sleigh glides on the snow in a beautiful forest, next to magnificent mountain peaks, and the starry sky above us. Then mulled wine by the fire in the garden, and only then will it be time to have fun in the dance hall. There are so many attractions that guests will remember this wedding for a lifetime. And then how much laughter will be when watching photos and videos. Such memories are worth a bit of effort when organizing a wedding.

Themed wedding - perfect for the carnival

Themed weddings or theme weddings are becoming more and more popular on the wedding services market. Many young couples want to somehow stand out and personalize their wedding, and at the same time show what style is close to them, what interests them. And great! It is only worth remembering that arranging a wedding with additional attractions or theme wedding it is best to entrust specialists. Professional event agency, preferably with its own facility and extensive experience in organizing various types of events, will easily cope with setting dates, finding subcontractors and coordinating the entire wedding event with the theme. Let's dazzle our guests with a wonderful carnival ball combined with a magical wedding!

A carnival wedding certainly has the advantage that it is a time for fun and madness on the dance floor. We can provide our guests with special props: feathers and other colorful gadgets, or organize a themed wedding, for example in the style of the years. 20. It's not only great fun, but also a great souvenir in the form of a wedding film. Themed weddings are governed by their own laws, and if the guests are as strongly involved in them as the Bride and Groom, the effect can be staggering!

Furs (artificial of course!), pearls and diamonds, long shiny dresses, curls, high heels… Which woman wouldn't want to present herself like that at a wedding and reception?

Gothic wedding

It will also be great for a carnival wedding party gothic style. There are many lovers of these somewhat dark climates, and by contrast with the typical wedding style, our wedding will stand out even more. Black, red, heavy shoes, patent leather, lace, corsets, dark and expressive eye and lip makeup... We can take inspiration from Wednesday's outfits from the popular series. Let's remember that the point is not only that the Bride and Groom's outfit resembles a costume at a carnival ball. It will be most interesting if the guests, or at least most of them, will fit into the theme of the wedding we choose. And then we can dance the famous Wednesday dance together.    

Casino wedding

You can also use the period of winter balls as an excuse to arrange a "total wedding" - decorations, costumes, games - all subordinated to one theme. Crazy fun in the casino will transport guests to a different world, where the opportunity to get rich is just waiting to be used. Of course, the game and the winnings are fake, but the emotions are real!

Something that will allow them to express themselves, show their passions and interests. A movie wedding is also a great opportunity for guests to show what cinema they like, what movies and themes fascinate them.

Carnival wedding - winter is not so bad

Many young couples, due to the winter season, are still afraid of organizing a wedding in the carnival. The main contraindication is, of course, low temperatures. However, snow can be turned into an asset, and frost is not a drawback at all. The winter aura, especially in areas outside large agglomerations, is really beautiful and captivating! After all, it is in winter that we go to many European ski resorts and wait for winter to freeze the peaks and mountain slopes. 

When choosing a winter wedding in the Polish mountains, for example in the Karkonosze Mountains, we have free sledding and building a snowman! Joanna Hoc-Kopiej from Dwór Korona Karkonoszy in Sosnówka notes: "Many young couples have already appreciated the charms of winter and decided to wedding party in the winter months. Many still fear it. If nothing convinces you to a winter wedding, you have to expect a longer wait for a free date and a higher price, but in return you can enjoy the sunny weather and, for example, a wedding in the garden. Something for something. The choice depends on your priorities and financial resources. 

What you feel better in depends only on you, but it is worth taking into account many factors, for example, the willingness of guests to arrive. If you know that half of your family goes on vacation at different intervals during the holidays, it's worth thinking about winter, in which we often miss such meetings and occasions to celebrate. It will be much easier for guests to get to wedding in the mountains in winter, because then there is not such a high probability of holidays, trips, etc. Even if someone works abroad, it will be easier for him to get out of work in the winter to get to the wedding. This time is therefore optimal in many respects, although still often underestimated by young couples. It's a pity, because a wedding in the carnival pays off!

Wedding in the carnival - a real masquerade ball

Carnival is a time of great masked balls, which are also a great idea for a wedding! A carnival wedding gives us a great opportunity and lots of opportunities. Of course, we don't have to make a performance out of this event, but we can organize the entire attraction only during the wedding itself. Guests will then be a bit more relaxed and will certainly approach this idea with more enthusiasm.

Masquerade style wedding it also needs a good setting when it comes to the menu. When it's a themed wedding, it's worth considering a unique menu that will attract the attention of guests. Also pay attention to candy bars – he is usually a real hit at carnival weddings. Together with the confectioner, we can organize countless ideas when it comes to wedding sweets.

In addition, it is a great idea to hire a magician or illusionist for a carnival wedding, because this theme perfectly combines with the masked ball theme. A somewhat mysterious atmosphere will be conquered by even more mysterious mountains, the view of which stretches over the entire area of the Crown of the Karkonosze Manor. Thanks to this, guests can admire unique landscapes even at night, which, believe us, are never forgotten. It is not without reason that there are situations in which guests come back to us every year, and they discovered us for the first time during a wedding. It's amazing to be part of someone's story.

Carnival wedding themes

Carnival wedding dates are particularly well suited to themed weddings and those with a lot of additional attractions. A carnival wedding has a lot of possibilities. For example, an illusionist show or dancing with fire, karaoke, and games, competitions or quizzes for the Bride and Groom and guests. This period begs for colorful costumes and accessories, and for a unique room decor.

What wedding themes we choose, depends only on our imagination. It can be, for example, a Venetian-style carnival with masks, a steampunk wedding or referring to the fairy tale about the Snow Queen in her ice palace. Or maybe choose to vintage wedding? Nothing stands in the way of the leitmotif being Alice in Wonderland, your favorite music genre or era. It all depends on how you imagine your fairy-tale wedding. At Dwór Korona Karkonoszy, we make sure that both the decoration of the room and all decorations and dishes are adapted to the theme of the wedding. Themed weddings continue to grow in popularity, so it is worth considering combining them with the carnival period.

Let us just remember that the duration of the carnival is different every year - its beginning is determined by the Epiphany, and it ends on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. So the beginning of the carnival falls on January 6 (wedding in January it's a great idea) and the fun period ends between February 4 and March 10, because Ash Wednesday is a movable feast.

Will the carnival wedding please the guests?

The date of the wedding is your individual matter. Of course, many guests are of the opinion that weddings should only take place in the summer. However, the younger the generation, the more modern and definitely more flexible about the wedding. It is also worth paying attention to the financial aspect - winter wedding is a way to save money.

Those guests who do not like the date of the carnival can be given several important arguments to defend it. First of all, it is a chance for the long-awaited carnival ball, which not every guest can afford. A wedding is a great opportunity to have fun and a bit of carnival madness. It is no wonder that many guests immediately like this idea and feel great in such an idea. It is therefore worth considering this option due to all these important factors.

How does a carnival wedding relate to tradition?

Of course, as we mentioned, many people are used to spring and summer weddings. However, there is a problem with the availability of wedding halls and dates with service providers. No wonder young couples are looking for alternatives. The tradition does not directly relate to wedding dates. Regardless of whether it is a church, civil or humanist wedding, both the month and the day of the wedding are an individual matter for future spouses.

It is worth remembering that until recently, everyone imagined a wedding only on Saturday. Now, however, many couples choose a different day of the week, due to the dates and much cheaper offers. We can meet now weddings on Fridays, and even wedding on Mondays or Wednesdays. All to get married as soon as possible. If a couple dreamed of a wedding in a specific place hall for the weddingand the availability of dates does not allow them to organize the ceremony quickly, wedding in a week it's a great idea! Tradition is actually nothing more than getting used to certain rituals in a smaller or larger community. What prevents you from slightly modifying the current traditions?
