Hosting a Virtual Wedding? This Checklist Will Come in Handy!

Mar 19, 2021

Virtual weddings in Singapore - a trend born out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the social gathering restrictions in place. It looks like they are here to stay - as long as the world is still battling with the virus outbreaks. But all thanks to the idea of virtual weddings, you can still host your dream wedding even amid this chaos!

The secrets lie in understanding how livestreams work and furnishing your wedding venue with the appropriate (and more importantly, aesthetically pleasing) decorations like flowers and ornaments.

If you have absolutely no idea how to throw a virtual wedding, fret not, because we have constructed a short checklist of items you need to consider when planning for one.

1. Audio-visual Equipment

Perhaps the most important element of a virtual wedding, you need to invest in quality audio-visual equipment to capture your special day and share it with viewers who are ‘attending’ virtually.

First, decide on what platform you want to stream your wedding as streaming channels like Facebook and YouTube have their own unique settings and features.

Next, you will need to source for equipment such as a cutting-edge video camera, speaker and WiFi connection. Having these ready on your big day enables your guests to ‘participate’ even when they are attending the wedding from their screens.

2. Floral Decorations

What’s a wedding without flowers?

Flowers are indispensable during a normal face-to-face wedding. But believe it or not, they also have a huge role to play for a virtual one. Eye-catching flowers are probably going to be one of the key highlights of your wedding pictures. Not to mention, they can easily add an element of elegance to any venue, whether you view it in person or from your computer screen.

Having said that, hosting a virtual wedding instead of a face-to-face one does not mean that you should skip the flowers. The flowers add beauty and can serve as a focal point of the special celebration that you will remember for a long time.

Here’s a list of essential floral items every wedding needs:

• Bridal hand bouquet
• Standee
• Table centrepieces
• Corsages
• Decor

When choosing flowers, take note of the colour and meaning of each flower. Go with flowers that celebrate love and devotion over blooms that convey concern and condolences.

Here are 5 of the most widely-used flowers for weddings and what they represent:

• Red roses: deep love and affection
• Pink peonies: beauty of marriage and love at first sight
• White lilies: purity and
• Daffodils: new beginnings
• Red tulips: perfect love

On top of that, you want the freshest stocks to make a stellar impression on the guests who are physically at the venue and the ones tuning in from home. Therefore, be sure to order your flowers for your wedding from a florist in advance, so that you will be sure to get the kind of flowers that you would like to have for the momentous occasion.

3. Ornaments

You’d be surprised by how much difference a simple ornament can make to an empty space. For instance, presenting your wedding blooms in a gold hoop stand can add an extra dose of grace to your floral arrangements.

Certainly, flowers add to the beauty of the decor, but there are plenty of other ways you can jazz up your wedding venue. Try lining the windows of your indoor wedding venue with some charming fairy lights to amp up the romance.

Also, consider beautifying your floral table centrepiece by accompanying it with some flameless yet sophisticated table candles if you are tying the knots in the evening.
