How did we organize a fairytale wedding?
Have you always dreamed of a fairytale wedding where the princess appears in the carriage with her prince? The wedding we organized at Casino Sinaia lacks the carriage, but all the other elements transport you into a fairytale. Read on to find out what the set looked like and what the organizational details were behind it.
The wedding plan
Even though the story of this event got off to a rocky start, as we had to reschedule due to the pandemic, the end result was spectacular. For this wedding we were entirely in charge of the planning: choosing the location, the menu, tasting it, recommending and finding all the suppliers, creating the decor concept, producing and implementing it, etc. As the bride and groom don’t live in Romania, they couldn’t be present for all the decision-making. They relied, however, on our dedicated wedding planner, Milena. And they gave her all the confidence they needed to organize a successful event.

Milena listened carefully to the needs and wishes of her clients and then translated them into reality. The organizational process was not easy, with many guests requiring accommodation and transport from many parts of the country and the world. They were accommodated in a nearby hotel. This made it easier for them to access Casino Sinaia on the day of the event. It was also the venue for the welcome dinner the evening before the wedding.
The welcome dinner
With the welcome dinner, the bride and groom wanted to have a relaxing time to catch up with their loved ones before the excitement of their wedding day. This was accompanied by a live jazz band, which created the perfect atmosphere for the guests. And the evening turned into a dance party, the perfect anticipation of the unforgettable moment they were about to take part in.
The religious ceremony
The wedding day was a much-deserved result after a lot of hard work by the IDYLLIC team coordinated by Milena. The event started with the religious ceremony held in the casino garden. For the ceremony, we created a flower decoration to complement the scenery. We composed it of arrangements in pearl pots placed on white pedestals, a flower aisle to the garden altar, and several half arches under which the bride and groom were married. Similarly, the floral arrangements continued to the fountain. We intended to create with every element of the design the impression of a garden filled with flowers in shades of pink, peach, white and green. The decor wasn’t the only highlight of the ceremony. It was accompanied by a quartet that set the mood for guests as they waited for the bride and groom. But also once the couple walked down the aisle.

The wedding reception
After the ceremony, we led the guests to the foyer, on the staircase also decorated with flowers in the color of the event. There we greeted them with various drinks and canapés. We also brought a piano to the foyer and a pianist played throughout the reception. We also decorated this room with spectacular floral arrangements to respect the design of the event and enhance the architecture of the casino. Also, during the reception, the doors of the Hall of Mirrors and the Baccarat Room were closed to keep the decor a surprise.

The bride and groom were the first to wait outside the door for it to be opened. And the rest of the guests stayed behind. Their reactions can’t be described in words and unfortunately for privacy reasons we can’t post pictures of them as the doors opened. So you’ll have to take our word for it that they were moved to tears. And for them the decor was a surprise too. Even though they had received a rendering of the concept, it’s hard to imagine exactly what the final result would look like.

In the Hall of Mirrors we created a flower alley leading to the photo corner. This consisted of a panel adorned only on the right side with flowers, and on the left side were hung atmospheres with candles and the bride and groom’s names written in gold. We created floral arrangements under the mirrors to highlight them. Also in this room were the hors d’oeuvres buffet, candy bar, specialty coffee bar and champagne bar. Through this room we made the transition to the Baccarat room, where we set up the tables and dance stage.

The wedding party
The wedding party was held in Baccara Hall. Tall flower arrangements were placed on glass stands on the tables. At the base of these we created shallow arrangements in golden vases of pink lisianthus only. We completed the table decor with candles in tall stemmed glass cups, gold rimmed plates and matching cutlery. Next to the menus, on the plates, we placed spiral knotted peach napkins. Another important organizational detail to mention is that Milena did the menu tasting, as the guests were unable to make it into the country at the time. Thus, the menu was changed just 3 weeks before the event to give the couple the best experience. The role of a wedding planner is to take action and make the necessary changes that they feel are beneficial to their clients.

Another decision Milena made to make the couple’s vision a reality was to decorate the casino bathrooms. First, she replaced the neon lights with LEDs and architectural lights to create a more intimate atmosphere. Then, the walls were adorned with flowers and greenery, creating an oasis of tranquility and comfort.

Every event comes with its challenges, but even those have their beauty. And the memories created along the way are priceless. At the same time, the connections between people discovered in the process can be transformed into lasting friendships. We have always been passionate about working with people and making their wishes come true. There is something unique about every event we organize and we always learn something new from our experiences with our clients.
