First of all, talk about the color of French wedding. White is the main color of romantic French weddings. No matter the flowers used for decoration, the bride's dress or all the decorations, they are all white, and white also represents all purity and beauty.
Then there is the venue. The wedding process in France is very different from that in China. Generally, in China, a notarization ceremony is held first, and then a wedding is held on another day. These two ceremonies were not held on the same day. The wedding process in France is to hold the wedding in the church first, and the mayor will personally witness the wedding at the scene, and then go to the French restaurant where the bar area and the dining area are separated for cocktail parties and wedding banquets.
As far as clothing is concerned, at the French wedding, the wedding dress with the tail clip device must be worn at the church ceremony. The longer the tail clamp, the more formal it is. It will be decorated with long veils, crystals, pearls and other ornaments that can bring a sense of nobility, while the groom will wear a formal black dress.
Generally speaking, in French weddings, the bride only wears a white wedding dress. When holding cocktail parties and banquets, it is convenient to walk, toast and dance. The groom can also change into a slightly casual black suit.
Before the wedding, it should be noted that the white wedding is usually a very formal wedding, so please indicate on the invitation: Please wear formal clothes to attend. At weddings in France, many women will wear elegant suits and wide-brimmed hats of European aristocrats. Of course, there are still several kinds of French weddings, because in history, French classes were heavily stratified and nobles were often noble and gorgeous, but now there is no such big difference. Many French weddings advocate pastoral style and strong rural flavor, and everyone sings and dances together.
One of the most soul elements of French weddings is music. Many times it can be seen from the music that this is a French wedding, such as four-person orchestra, retro court music, and now the more popular Rococo style, with DJ, is also very popular and very popular with young people. I like watching old-fashioned French movies, such as Le Ballon Rouge, The First Kiss, Two Little Boys and No Guess, etc. It will be more interesting to put the soundtrack of these movies in the French wedding process.
Flowers are the best supporting role in a French wedding. White tulips have simple lines and beautiful shapes, and have French elegance and romance. With beautiful white roses, they have some fashionable feelings in tradition.
In addition to French red wine, French dinner is also a world-famous meal. Therefore, in a pure French wedding, it is a kind of enjoyment for the guests attending the wedding to join the French classic dinner and enjoy the real exotic customs. A typical French menu includes appetizers, appetizers, main courses, cheese and desserts. Among them, there are countless famous dishes, among which foie gras, seafood, snails and cheese are the most familiar. The most common desserts in France are tower, Melaleuca cake, puffs and so on. There are thousands of variations in the size and filling of the tower. Melaleuca pie is a layer of cake and a layer of stuffing layer upon layer; Puffs are filled with stuffing, so it is absolutely necessary to stick puffs into a mountain shape with syrup in a French wedding.
In a formal French dinner, strictly speaking, there are two desserts, one after the main course and the other is tea and coffee. Most of these snacks are chocolate, some are sprinkled with hazelnut slices, and some fruits are directly wrapped in chocolate.
Then introduce the pure French wedding, which is generally divided into four parts, each part has its own characteristics and significance. The French have no trouble choosing an auspicious day to get married. Most of them choose to get married on Saturday afternoon. On the one hand, the mayor can get married in his spare time, on the other hand, guests can revel and drink all night. There is a rule that must be observed: civil ceremonies (government-approved ceremonies held in the city hall) must be held before religious ceremonies.
The mayor's marriage certificate is the first song in the French wedding process. Generally, it starts at around 3 pm, and only one couple is married in a day. Although it is a simple notarization ceremony, the mayor must wear blue, white and red French epaulettes to ceremoniously serve the citizens and get married. In the French wedding process, when signing the marriage certificate, the French who used to be joking are quiet at this time to show respect for the legal process. After the wedding ceremony, we turned to the Catholic Church for the next ceremony.
The church wedding is the second part of the French wedding process, and the religious ceremony takes about one hour. The bride and groom walked across the carpet leading to the altar, and the priest prayed, sang hymns and swore to be husband and wife. In fact, civil marriage has legal effect. Holding a wedding in the presence of God is a lifelong agreement between heart and heart. At the end of the ceremony, the church bell rang and everyone stepped out, got into the car and attacked the cocktail party. Every guest is excited about the next climax program and is ready to celebrate with the newcomers.
The cocktail party in the third part of the French wedding process is about 6 pm. The newcomer greeted the guests at the entrance of the venue. The guests lined up to congratulate the couple one by one, finished kissing on the cheek, and then entered the buffet reception. The bar offers all kinds of drinks and snacks. The guests spoke freely and had a good time. The cocktail party lasted until about eight o'clock, and we had to leave for the wedding reception.
The fourth and last song in the French wedding process is different from the cocktail party attended by all the guests. This kind of high-class dinner only invites relatives and friends, which is similar to the custom in China. The invited people should give red envelopes as gifts. The elegant French dining table is decorated with beautiful flowers and exquisite candlesticks. Everyone takes their seats according to the seat card, and there is a small bag of beautiful candy in the center of the plate for the guests. After the first appetizer, accompanied by a live band or DJ, the guests began to dance wildly regardless of gender, age and age, and the couple even led the dance in wedding dresses. The main course of the second course won't be served until around midnight. After dinner, dessert is at two or three in the morning, with coffee and tea, as well as delicious cakes, pies and ice cream. When the elders left, everyone followed, ending the marathon French wedding of 12 hours.
Such a pure French wedding will definitely make you unforgettable for life. However, people in China still have wedding customs in China, so the domestic French wedding process need not strictly abide by the above four parts, but should pay more attention to the above-mentioned elements of French wedding. Nowadays, many newlyweds like French weddings because they are romantic, sacred, pure and exotic. Nevertheless, the wedding with the characteristics of the new couple is unforgettable and unique after all, so even if it is a romantic French wedding, don't forget to incorporate the new couple's own love story.
