Conclusion Most people think that winter weddings are boring and monotonous. But you just have to show a little ingenuity, think through the small details that will fill the atmosphere with comfort, choose a good room and invite the most to turn a “cold” celebration into the most sincere and warm holiday.
I will remember this holiday for the rest of my life! This is our wedding! We celebrated our wedding on December 31, 2003. I got married at 30 years old, and my beloved was only 18. I would like to note that this is the first marriage in my life, and I approached it very seriously and responsibly. Naturally, I had enough experience for my age, but my beloved still looked at everything through rose-colored glasses, and there was a certain youthful maximalism in her. I wanted to celebrate my wedding, as expected, in the fall, but my other half stubbornly defended the winter. I didn’t argue because I know it’s a useless matter. Although, to be honest, some of her demands were excessive.
We set a date for our wedding, although this is loudly said. She set the date herself: December 31st! Can you imagine? I was already indignant, how come 31? Who will come to our wedding? And, in the end, this is everyone’s favorite holiday - New Year! But arguing with her... It’s useless, in response she just waved her hand, saying that whoever needs it will come! Okay, I’ve come to terms with this, now we’ve started to list the guests and fill out the invitation cards.
For some reason, she refused to be photographed for the invitation card, citing the fact that she wanted to be seen only after “Betashar” (the ritual of revealing the bride’s face and showing her to the groom’s relatives and guests). She didn’t let me fill out the invitation cards either: having filled everything out herself, she sprayed varnish with glitter on all the tickets (I still don’t understand why), then she tied a gold ribbon or braid to each one...
It seemed like I had dealt with all this, now I had (the hardest mission) a shopping trip ahead of me. No, I don’t mind going to a store at all (for example, an auto store), but going shopping with her... It’s just the real thing... I don’t even know what words to choose! Shopping started, naturally, with a dress. We visited all the bridal salons, and only two weeks later she finally made her choice. We chose a dress, veil, shoes and other useless little things, I don’t understand how she remembers and distinguishes everything? For her, everything is wrong and everything is wrong, but for me, all the dresses are equally beautiful and for some reason they are all the same. The only thing that made me happy at that moment was that she saved me from choosing a suit for me, and I chose the suit for the celebration myself.
I was happy - it seemed like everything, these shopping trips were finally over, but I forgot about manicure, pedicure and something else? Hairstyle, etc. They put some kind of long nail on her nails: either chips or clips, in general, a couple of them managed to fly off, and in a rage she tore out all the rest, and the stylist was invited to the house so that some kind of embarrassment would not happen again.
Adventures of all kinds did not bypass me either: in such confusion I touched and broke an expensive crystal vase. Everyone rejoiced, citing that it was luck. But that's not all that happened to me. Her close friend decided to show off her culinary skills and bake some of her signature cakes and asked me to hold the running mixer. At that moment, my back itched, and I decided to combine business with pleasure: scratch myself with a mixer (completely stupid!). And I scratched myself... The mixer began to squeal feverishly and began to twist my freshly ironed shirt. This moment was like a scene from a movie when criminals are caught and their arms are twisted. As a result, I “remixed” myself, and I couldn’t do it without help. You should have seen how everyone laughed at me, although laughing is too mild a word. More precisely, they laughed like crazy. So, with the “remixed” shirt, we went to the registry office, and then to the celebration itself.
But I was wrong about the guests, almost all the invitees arrived, after the wedding no one wanted to leave: as you remember, the new year 2004 was already coming!! Those who wanted to stayed in the restaurant, others had already gone to bed (we also provided everything for guests: wedding carried out in a hotel complex). And my friends and I all went to the ice town. No matter how much I begged her to change her clothes, my stubborn girl again insisted on her own way and rode the slides in a dress and shoes! It’s good that at least she put on a fur coat. Some did not hide their surprise, and some even managed to take a photo with us as a souvenir. I confess honestly: it turns out that it’s very pleasant when strangers They sincerely congratulate you and even have time to drink to your health!
Now our joy is growing - our sweet daughter is a jewelry maker, but she has stubbornness... Even more than her mother, next to her my wife’s stubbornness is just flowers!! By the way, I want to note that she is my birthday present: she was born right on the eve of my birthday, September 28th.
This is how our wedding was. I’m even very glad that our wedding took place on New Year’s Eve, because for me this is a double reason to give gifts to my loved ones. Wedding anniversary gift and, of course, New Year's gift under the bed.

review from Erber
We arrived at about 3 minutes, the group had already left. There was only a security guard in the lobby and he said: catch up. But he didn’t say that at this time there were two groups - we went down and joined the group - as it turned out later, the group was not ours. At the end of the first part, Nastya and I met and realized that we had mixed up the group; another girl was with us, who also ended up in someone else’s group).
Maybe someone will find this review useful. My son is 7 years old, and he loves cartoon characters more, and we haven’t read all the fairy tales.
I liked the part with Alla, but he was clearly bored with the second, perhaps because the children in the group were a little older, but the search for the Snow Maiden went on without him.
In any case, thank you very much! I was interested myself.
Best regards, Olga.
review from shokoladka
Thank you for the excursion to the Literary Museum. Very informative, active and tasty. It was interesting for both children (9-10 years old) and adults. Everything is as stated in the program (with Alla - Games, fortune telling, master class, all the children participated, the museum guide is a very nice lady (she “kept” the children for almost an hour, constantly involving them in the process and presented the information in a very interesting way). The refectory of the temple is very beautiful It is painted, there is also something to see on the territory.
Alla, well done: she sang, danced, and immediately got the children moving. It seems like 9-10 years old, they say we are already big, and she gives them fortune telling for grooms, weddings, carols... Everyone got involved!!!

For me, New Year is my favorite holiday since childhood, a holiday of miracles and magic. I still expect surprises and believe in a New Year's miracle. Our family collection is replenished every year. New Year's toys made of paper based on a cylinder. While on our Christmas tree next to the traditional ones Christmas decorations from the glass you can see Little Red Riding Hood, the Steadfast Tin Soldier, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden - toys based on a cylinder, made of colored paper, which I design myself.

There is something sacred, sacred and mystical about celebrating a wedding on New Year’s Eve, because, as you know, the New Year will pass the way you spend it.
A wedding ceremony on this date, an atmosphere of love and harmony and a festive mood - all this will create a truly memorable event that can be remembered with a smile for many years.
Our educational program for the New Year's wedding will help you understand all the intricacies of organizing the holiday and tell you about the latest fashion trends in organizing weddings and holiday themes.
pros
All newlyweds who celebrated the main event in their lives on December 31 will confirm that this particular date was sacred and significant for them, and the holiday itself on New Year's Eve was remembered by both them and the guests. There are actually a lot of advantages to organizing a wedding on New Year's Eve.
1.
The atmosphere itself gives rise to a festive mood and expectation of a miracle: frost and sun, white snow immerse us in the fairy tale “Morozko”.
2. The parallel celebration of the New Year will turn from ordinary gatherings in front of the TV with a plate of Olivier into a unique and memorable celebration.
3. Celebrating a wedding on December 31 is convenient and economical - in December the cost of rent and photographer services will be significantly lower than in other months.
4. Finally, the New Year's wedding will bring good luck to the newlyweds. No matter how we treat signs, as practice shows, they still work.
Minuses
And what “pitfalls” does the New Year’s wedding celebration hide? If we discard the romantic flair, it turns out that organizing a holiday in winter will be much more difficult than in the warm season.
The bride and groom will need to take care of outerwear, and the bride will probably need a fur coat (another item on the budget). But, to be honest, these shortcomings still do not deprive the New Year's wedding of its magic.
Which style to choose for a New Year's wedding
December 31st is still one of the most popular wedding dates. But not all newlyweds, especially those relying on European traditions, want to spend the most main holiday in your life with the involvement of professional decorators and designers.
Consider the series interesting ideas on choosing a style for a wedding for the New Year.
Wedding in the style of “Russian Fun”
The table is set in the gazebo. The gazebo is decorated in folk style: towels, Christmas tree decorations, bows. Christmas tree required. This style is best used outside the city at a recreation center or in a sanatorium. The use of horses, the Russian Troika, is mandatory. Carrying out games and competitions on the street: stilts, pillow fights, tug-of-war, round dance, etc. Making a fire, hot New Year's porridge and barbecue will decorate the wedding. The Russian accordion is a necessary attribute of style. Strong drinks (alcohol and, of course, tea) in sufficient quantities. Competitions for best suits, dancing, Original gifts in the specified style. The gazebo for guests and newlyweds should be insulated or there should be a room nearby to warm the guests. Folklore song and dance groups are welcome to invite you to the festive event.
Style "Evening of fairy tales"
Registration in fairy tale style. Posters with fairy-tale characters with the faces of guests. On the tables are boxes with magic wands (glow in the dark). The place for the newlyweds is decorated with scrolls, snowflakes, and unprecedented paper flowers. The celebration is permeated with the plot of a fairy tale, where there is a king, queen, princess, prince, Baba Yaga, Koschey the Immortal (who will kidnap the bride). Actions include a magical kiss and a merry feast. Guests in the role of wizards will cast a spell and defeat evil forces with their magic wands. Buffoons will cheer up the sad and good will triumph over evil. Don’t forget about the magical musical fanfares and the song “Suddenly, like in a fairy tale, the door creaked...”
Wedding event in the style of “Lighting up the stars”
The event is planned with the invitation of “stars” or “pseudo-stars”. Design using models of stars, asterisks, starry sky, musical symbols. It is better to spend it indoors in a restaurant or cafe. Let's not forget about the magic. Suddenly, Santa Claus turns into Valery Leonyev, and the Snow Maiden into Lolita...During the holiday, you can “light up the stars” in the field of art, choreography, singing, musicality, clothing style, gait, mood, making toasts, throwing banknotes, in the area of “non-participation in events”, etc.
Wedding in the style of “Travel around the world on New Year’s Eve”
Decoration in the style of a station. We travel by plane or train. The musical accompaniment matches: either the whistles of a steam locomotive, the sound of wheels, or the noise of engines, the sounds of people talking, the noise of a station, a dispatcher. During the trip, the atmosphere of the country where the newlyweds and their guests will go is created. Cheerful melodies will create a general festive mood. We think through the menu taking into account “movement across countries.” We can recommend a movement: Poland (on New Year's Eve there is a real farce here: men dress up in women's suits and paint their faces with paint. The fireworks show is carried out in the form of shooting balloons) – Italy (All old dishes, utensils, furniture are thrown out at night. A fortune pie is baked) – Germany (it’s a good omen on New Year’s Eve to see a chimney sweep and get dirty with soot, at 12 o’clock all the people climb on the tables and chairs and “Jump” into the New Year!) - Africa (In Kenya, it is customary to spit at each other - as a sign of wishing great luck in the new year, holding fiery dances, electing a tribal leader, presenting prizes - loincloths) - America (praising the Statue of Liberty , skyscrapers. Mention of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger) – Japan (spring cleaning is underway in this country) – Russia (fun with dancing and games). The result of the holiday can be a symbolic gift - a trip to a honeymoon!
New Year's elections
On the one hand, the topic is narrow, on the other, it is unusually broad. Winter decoration. There are attributes of “elections”. Voting booth and stationary box. Everything is decorated with garlands and snowflakes. The main elections of Father Frost and Snow Maiden. In addition, you can choose everything: presenters, witnesses, even the bride or groom. The main thing is a prepared audience and imagination!
New Year's Night of Lovers
I remember celebrating Valentine's Day. Since miracles happen at night, you can bring any holiday closer. Decoration: angels, hearts, kisses, candles, rose petals, etc. All conversations and actions are imbued with “falling in love, tenderness, romanticism.” The game “mail” with “Valentines” is used, love songs are remembered, and slow compositions are danced. In addition to the newlyweds, you should choose the most more in love than a couple from the guests. The launch of wishes takes place at the end of the festive event. You can offer the newlyweds to symbolically plant their tree of love on this day.
The banquet hall should be decorated in white with splashes of pink, blue or gray. There should be garlands on the walls that create interesting lighting effects.
The table can be decorated with a tablecloth with a winter pattern, candles, fir branches in glass bottles, sprinkled with artificial snow. The photo shoot should be outdoors, preferably in a snowy forest.
Christmas wedding
To create the desired ambiance, you should decorate the banquet hall with garlands and spruce wreaths, flavor the room with cinnamon and tangerines, make pomanders from citrus fruits with spices, and put red and gold accessories on the table.
A photo session in a studio where there are all the attributes of Christmas, gifts and a decorated Christmas tree is what you need.
Sports wedding
Newlyweds leading active image In life, weddings are often held on December 31 at skating rinks, as well as ski and snowboard resorts.
Wedding in a narrow circle of guests. Some newlyweds generally refuse full-scale organization for the New Year and spend the holiday with their family.
Rental of premises and decoration
Most newlyweds prefer to hold their wedding celebrations in banquet halls.
You need to agree in advance with the administrator of the selected club or restaurant to book a room for the required number of guests, as well as discuss issues of decor and entertainment program.
To create a New Year's mood, you need to invite animators. Classic version– Father Frost and Snow Maiden, who will act as toastmaster. Singing New Year's hits, competitions and presenting gifts to newlyweds - all this can be performed by animators.
You can also make a themed holiday, for example, invite animators who will play the roles of characters from the cartoon “Anastasia,” the fairy tale about the Nutcracker, or any other New Year’s story.
Decoration of the motorcade
What can I say, on New Year’s Day everything should be fabulous, unusual, magical. After all, not only the newlyweds, but also all invited guests are waiting for a New Year's miracle. As the motorcade passes through the city, it should complement the created winter flavor of the city, delight the eyes of ordinary people and give them hope that magic is nearby. Therefore, ideas for decorating a wedding procession should be unusual, New Year’s.
1. The groom’s car is decorated with elements of the headdress of Santa Claus and his girlfriend - after all, first the groom rides in this car, then the newlyweds - namely: on the hood there are voluminous caps of red and of blue color. Well, there are rings with bells on the roof. The rest of the cars are decorated with the composition, one cap at a time. For girls - red, for boys - blue.
2. The first car has a basket with large Christmas tree balls on the hood, the rest have 2-3 Christmas tree balls (possibly with a fir branch).
3. The newlyweds’ car is decorated with an open bag, from which New Year’s boxes (tied with ribbon of different colors) protrude. The rest of the transport has decorations in the form of shiny tied boxes.
4. New Year means champagne and oranges. Create prop compositions from this set and place them on the hoods of the wedding cortege cars. It will definitely be unusual!
You can also purchase special reflectors and LEDs that will make the wedding procession unforgettable in its design.
Generous table
What should you treat your guests with?
The classic New Year's table includes dishes such as salads:
- "Mimosa";
- "Herring under a Fur Coat";
- "Olivie";
- "Garnet bracelet";
- "Quail's Nest";
- pies with various fillings;
- sandwiches with red caviar and butter;
- mini sandwiches with sprats.
Salads can be served in an unusual form if you order them from a molecular chef - some masters make ice cream from “Herring under a Fur Coat”.
For main course, you should serve stuffed pig, beefsteak or beef steaks. Red fish is also a welcome guest New Year's table, especially if it’s salmon steaks or slices of lightly salted trout for an appetizer.
It is better to order a New Year's cake from a private pastry chef. Let it be decorated with New Year's attributes: fir branches and mastic snowflakes, chocolate and almonds or powdered sugar that looks like snow.
Drinks you can offer guests: both alcoholic and non-alcoholic - orangeade, lemonade, fruit drink, spicy masala tea.
From strong drinks you can choose: whiskey, cognac, Becherovka and Jagermeister liqueurs, smelling of tangerines and spruce branches. Well, let's not forget about champagne - an integral attribute of a New Year's wedding!
Printed and hand-made products
You can make your celebration truly unique and add some zest to it with the help of hand-made invitations, banners, posters, table decorations, etc.
They should be decorated in the spirit of the upcoming holiday: Christmas trees, snowflakes, confetti, garlands. Wooden signs with the names of the bride and groom or paper streamers in the shape of snowflakes, made by professional designers and illustrators, look impressive.
The services of a printing house, as well as designers and illustrators, will cost a total of about 10 thousand rubles.
Florist services
For a New Year's wedding, it is better to choose bouquets of winter flowers. The ideal choice would be red and white anemones, ranunculus, and roses. An unusual bouquet can be made from succulents or dried flowers.
And for a New Year's wedding you can use another one original idea: decorate bouquets with thin spruce or larch branches, elderberry and hypericum berries, cineraria leaves, white and transparent, as if covered with a thin crust of ice.
But creating such a bouquet with New Year's mood It is better to entrust it to a professional florist. His services are an important point in organizing a wedding celebration. You need to discuss in advance with a bouquet specialist the choice of flowers and decor, the number of bouquets and other nuances.
The cost of one bouquet will cost the newlyweds an average of about 1.5 thousand rubles; samples made from exotic flowers, for example, phalaenopsis, have a price threshold of 2.5 thousand rubles.
Outfit of the bride and groom
A New Year's wedding requires a special dress code. The bride's dress and the groom's suit must be selected with special care.
Choosing matching dress, you should focus not only on its beauty, but also on the fabric and texture. It should be warm so that the bride does not freeze: you have already planned an outdoor photo shoot, right?
It is better to choose two pairs of shoes: one for the room, the other for the exit. Shoes and sandals for indoors should be made of genuine leather and have a comfortable shoe.
You need to break in a pair of shoes in advance to understand whether they are too tight, whether the toe is pressing on your toes, and whether the last fits the shape of your foot. For outdoor wedding events, you will need boots or ankle boots, preferably with natural fur.
Let's not forget about outerwear– a fur coat made of natural or faux fur(white is better, but black is absolutely not suitable).
You can make a New Year's accent by choosing accessories a la the Snow Maiden: coupling from white fur, long white gloves or a neat hat with fur will decorate every fashionista.
The groom should give preference to suits made of wool, kremlin or tweed - these fabrics retain heat well and are comfortable to wear in the most severe frosts.
The price range of wedding dresses is as follows: a dress for the bride will cost on average 30 thousand rubles, a suit for the groom - 20-25 thousand rubles, a fur coat for the bride from natural fur– 80 thousand rubles.
Photoshoot
New Year's wedding photos will delight the newlyweds for a long time, but for a high-quality result you will need to put in a little effort.
Firstly, find a professional retoucher photographer with whom you can discuss all ideas for a photo shoot.
Secondly, invite a decorator to create the desired environment.
Third, decide whether everything will take place in the studio or outdoors.
Perhaps for the New Year's photo shoot you will need:
- a gazebo with a themed fir tree decoration;
- a bottle of champagne;
- glasses;
- confetti;
- Garlands.
You need to be as natural as possible in your photos. Classic photos can be taken against the backdrop of a richly decorated Christmas tree.
Photos of the bride and groom decorating the Christmas tree and presenting gifts to each other will look very touching.
The cost of one New Year's photo shoot from a professional photographer will be: on average about 13 thousand rubles (shooting + retouching + printing several photos).
Honeymoon ideas
After congratulations and libations, the striking of chimes and making wishes, the bride and groom can go to Honeymoon, especially since travel packages for newlyweds on New Year’s holidays will be cheaper - expert Marina Bragina, owner of the Travel Expert travel agency, says this.
For example, in August tour “Italy, Rome-Venice-Milan” costs 105 thousand rubles, and on December 31 the cost will be 85 thousand rubles per person.
We can recommend holding a wedding or honeymoon in Karelia, Transbaikalia or Kamchatka.
A special event for the newlyweds will be joint horse riding in Altai– such tours are offered by the companies “Akkem Tour” and “Kon Tour”, the price of the issue will be 19,500 rubles per person.
A New Year's wedding will sparkle with new colors if it is held in Scandinavia - the land of Christmas miracles and Santa Claus.
Newlyweds can go to the Finnish city of Kuopio, where the house of Santa Claus is located.
There are a lot of attractions there and even the opportunity to ride with the New Year's wizard in a reindeer sleigh.
If the prospect of savoring Olivier and watching “Blue Light” causes a natural yawn, then there are several non-trivial ideas on how to turn a New Year’s wedding into a fairy tale.
1. Amateur photo shoot in Christmas trees.
A very simple and positive way - just take a camera with you and go to a Christmas tree farm.
Give each other hand-made gifts: it could be a postcard using the scrapbooking technique, a sachet or soft toy. And in Japan, on New Year’s Day, the bride and groom give each other baked goods in beautiful boxes.
2. Go to the theater.
On New Year's Day, Swan Lake or The Nutcracker are often shown. Why not enjoy the romantic music of Tchaikovsky on your wedding day?
Pamper each other with perfumes with the scent of the New Year: champagne, cinnamon, tangerines or spruce.
The best option is Hermes Eau des Merveilles and Five O`Clock au Gingembre from Serge Lutens (the bottles cost about 6,000 rubles in the Ile de Beaute store).
Organizing a wedding, especially on New Year's Eve, is always a big responsibility, but by introducing an element of improvisation and spontaneity into it, you can create a truly memorable event for the newlyweds and guests.
New Year's Eve is a very special and, without a doubt, the most magical time for a wedding. Everything around shines, sparkles, and it seems that the whole city is dressing up for your celebration. To make your holiday doubly beautiful and successful, you should harmoniously combine both wedding and New Year’s elements. The easiest way to do this is to use the symbols of 2015 - the Wooden Goat and her favorite colors: blue, white, green and gold.
Wedding look
Since the main color accent of 2015 is blue, you should definitely use it when creating wedding look. So, you can take a risk and choose an azure or pale blue dress, thereby emphasizing your uniqueness. And if you are more attracted to a classic white outfit, then we recommend decorating it satin ribbon blue tint. Moreover, the luxurious colored bow on the dress is one of current trends season.
You can complement such an expressive look with rich blue shoes and, of course, a matching bridal bouquet. By the way, you can and even need to experiment a little with it. Fir branches, miniature Christmas balls or sparkling decorative snowflakes will remind you of the holiday theme and create a stunning winter mood. And if you replace ordinary flowers with a brooch-bouquet in blue and silver tones, you will get a New Year’s miracle!
It is also worth carefully considering the image of the groom. Blue tie and a matching boutonniere are perfect for any man. And if you want to add a little humor to the image of a respectable gentleman, we suggest wearing funny socks with embroidered Christmas trees!
Hall decoration
When decorating a wedding hall on New Year's Eve, the most important thing is to create the mood of a double celebration, but not to overdo it with winter paraphernalia. To do this, you can use such inexpensive and, in general, universal accessories as pine cones and Christmas balls. For example, you can fill clear vases with them to decorate tables or make cute holders for place cards.
From New Year's garlands you will get an incomparable background for selfies with friends, and a painted Christmas tree will be a worthy alternative to a wish tree (remember, this is a tree drawn on thick paper on which guests leave colored fingerprints with wishes). And if you decide on a live Christmas tree, then you can put wedding gifts. Just don’t put a toy Santa Claus under it - still, don’t forget about the real reason for the celebration.
A delightful decoration of the wedding table can also be... food! Cookies with Christmas trees or a dial made of glaze, cake balls in the form Christmas balls, a wedding cake in white and blue colors - all this will undoubtedly appeal to the guests and will wonderfully emphasize the overall concept of the holiday.

However, such a celebration has its pros and cons that you should pay attention to:
Disadvantages of a New Year's wedding:

2. The cost of renting a banquet hall is higher than if you were celebrating your wedding on a regular day.
3. Many guests will not be able to come to your wedding because they will have their own plans for New Year's Eve.
4. You will need to buy gifts for your guests. Moreover, think over them so that they symbolize both your wedding day and the day of the New Year celebration.
5. You will only be given gifts for a wedding, about new Year gifts Of course, no one will remember.
6. Combining two holidays is not always possible good idea. After the chimes strike, your guests will start calling everyone they know to congratulate them on the upcoming holiday, forgetting about the wedding celebration. 
Pros of a New Year's wedding:
1. Your wedding will remain in the memory of your guests for a long time.
2. Many guests will be happy to attend such a wedding, because for them it is a chance to have a wonderful New Year in a cheerful company.
3. You won’t need to think about where you will celebrate this New Year, what outfit you will wear and where you will go after 12 o’clock.
4. can already be done in advance in New Year's style, so you won't have to spend money on decorations.

Of course, whether you should have a wedding on New Year's Eve or not is up to you to decide. First, ask your guests if they are ready for a double celebration. If many people refuse the invitation, but you really want to have a wedding in the New Year's style, then perhaps you should pay attention to other days during the New Year holidays. Many of the advantages of such a celebration will remain the same, but it will be a completely different atmosphere, because what could be more beautiful than the kiss of the newlyweds while the chimes are striking?!
