"Planning a Wedding on Your Original Date: Real-Life Examples of 'At-Home Weddings' with Your Partner"

A Home Wedding for Two♡

Due to the impact of COVID-19, many newlyweds whose weddings have been postponed are holding "home weddings" on the original wedding date that was planned.＊

Even if the wedding is postponed, the day it was supposed to take place is still meaningful for both of them.

By decorating the house, buying a cake, dressing up for photos, and upgrading their anniversary dinner or lunch to make it special, they can create a memorable day filled with fun♡

Here are some real examples found on Instagram of how brides who held home weddings spent their time and what they prepared♩

➡List of Items and Schedule for Home Weddings＊

Wonderful Home Wedding ①

Setting the table with a tablecloth and decorations for a truly festive party atmosphere♡

They made the wedding cake from scratch together in the morning!

Making the cake tiered like a wedding cake adds to the special feeling♡ They used the motif of “8,” which was the theme of their wedding＊

Wonderful Home Wedding ②

A home wedding with a cake, flowers, and candles♡ They used some decorations they had prepared for the wedding.＊

They exchanged rings, cut the cake, and did the first bite ceremony♡

Wonderful Home Wedding ③

A home wedding where they practiced the ring exchange and did the first bite ceremony＊

It seems they don’t plan to do the first bite ceremony at the actual wedding! One of the charms of having a home wedding is being able to incorporate elements that won’t happen on the big day♡

Wonderful Home Wedding ④

They decorated their home wedding with stuffed animals, ring pillows, initial objects they used during their pre-wedding shoot, and lots of bouquets♡

It’s perfectly fine to stick to the same theme as the actual wedding or to go all out and have a completely different decoration style＊

Wonderful Home Wedding ⑤

A bride who made a wedding tapestry for her home wedding♡ Having a tapestry instantly creates a professional and stylish atmosphere＊

On the day of the event, they thought, "I wonder if we’re at the venue now?" and "It’s almost time to start!" while reminiscing about the actual wedding.

They ordered a drip cake from a shop, just like they did for the real wedding♩

Wonderful Home Wedding ⑥

A home wedding that included photo shoots, vows to each other, ring exchanges, cake cutting, and the first bite♡

They donned their dresses and tuxedos and arranged items that were planned to be displayed in the welcome area＊

The veil matched the dress and was a Maria veil. She had always dreamed of wearing a Maria veil, but she had to give it up because she couldn’t have the veil down on the actual wedding day.

It’s wonderful that they can incorporate something they gave up on the actual wedding day into their home wedding♡

For the real wedding, they chose a single-tiered wedding cake that was cute with a lot of strawberries and pink, but for the home wedding, they went for a different design♡

They made it tiered and decorated it with blueberries♩

Wonderful Home Wedding ⑦

A couple who enjoyed their home wedding throughout the day＊ They prepared place cards and menus, creating a truly festive party atmosphere♡

While enjoying their meal, they watched the opening and profile movies and discussed, "Should we make it of a higher quality?"＊

In the end, the bride also gave him a letter♡

Wonderful Home Wedding ⑧

Some also had a ribbon shower during their home wedding♡ With the flower shower and ribbon shower planned for the wedding, they could capture some cute photos＊

If your wedding is postponed, try a "Home Wedding"!♡
