She, him and an island called Ibiza

 Choosing Ibiza as the setting for a wedding is always a wise move. For the couple will be an extra effort, for the guests too, but in twenty years everyone will remember those days on the island. And what does Ibiza have that everyone in love? Basically, it has it all. There are a thousand islands in one: the one of fun, the alternative, the luxury, the leisurely (this, according to when, it costs more to find it, but still exists), the paradisiacal … And among all of them, . The choice of Ibiza as a destination for the wedding celebration of couples from around the world has exploded in recent years. Who does not want to give himself the yes I want to the seashore while the sun sets and then leave to celebrate it? Requests from many places arrive, although not all the couples end up throwing themselves to the adventure. But for those who do, there we will be if you want the road to be easier.

It is not necessary to ask what are the main attractions of the island for this type of celebrations … Its climate and its geographical location are key to its success, but in recent years we have to add the increasing professionalism in the field Of weddings. More and more restaurants are dedicated almost exclusively to this business and many hotels already have an area dedicated to their organization. There is no shortage of people, like us, who offer themselves for the integral organization of the whole wedding, a job that is often indispensable considering that the bride and groom are often many kilometers away and can afford few trips to the island before the big day.

And it is that with an area of ​​572 km, 210 km of coast and bordering already 150,000 inhabitants, Ibiza offers a variety of alternatives depending on the budget and the taste of each couple. It is a small island, true, but it can overwhelm those who do not know it well or who do not have enough time to travel it. Perhaps you love the tranquility of the north zone but the restaurant that offers you a better alternative is on the west coast and also, from there you can see the sunset. Or it may happen that you have found a villa that you love at a reasonable price, but that this is located in a municipality in which councilors do not offer the service of moving to celebrate an official ceremonial. There are many variants to take into account, but do not despair, we can give you a hand in charge of the integral organization or a simple online advice.

While you make the decision, here is a list of tips in case you are planning a visit to the island:

  • Do not rule out the possibility of holding the wedding inside. All couples have in their heads the image of them giving themselves the yes I want to the seashore, but the truth is that this island hides beautiful interior corners worth knowing.
  • Visit the ancient city, Dalt Vila, as the Town Hall offers the possibility of celebrating the ceremony in one of its bastions, with incredible views of the sea.
  • Although the island will surprise you with the green of its fields (something to be thankful for the humidity and the large number of pines that populate it, hence the name of the Pitüses by which Ibiza and Formentera are known), you have to Visit also the Natural Park of Ses Salines, a unique landscape in which there are several premises that celebrate weddings and a coquettish church called Sant Francesc, located on the edge of one of the salineras.

Which kind of ceremony could I organize?

Many of the ceremonies that open the Ibiza weddings are far from traditional. And is that if you decide to get married in Ibiza what you are looking for is precisely a celebration that leaves the pile. Ask where and how you want it to be and who you would like it to officiate and little by little you will be giving shape to one of the most important moments of your wedding. To help you give you some clues as to which are the most popular options, the most feasible and even which to discard to avoid unpleasant surprises.

  • Official or fictitious ceremony? A very widespread option among our clients is to celebrate before the trip to Ibiza a civil or religious ceremony in their city (which saves the transfer of files and carry out paperwork in a city that Is not yours) and hire on the island an officiant who will hold a ‘not legal’ wedding but, yes, tailored to the couple.
  • If you decide for an official civil ceremony you should know that there are municipalities in which the councilors do move to the place of the ceremony and others in which they do not; Therefore, it is an issue that you should keep in mind when it comes to booking a restaurant or renting a house so that you do not take the surprise.
  • If instead you are clear that only you are looking for a symbolic ceremony you will find more facilities since they will go wherever you want. There are many officiants on the island who will do a good job adapting to your requests, either in the form of a more traditional ceremony, more comical or even with that mystical touch that is so much on Ibiza.
  • Another aspect that we think is convenient to clarify is the celebrations on the beaches. Many couples arrive with the idea of ​​giving themselves the ‘yes I want’ to the seashore. The problem is that such a romantic desire is not allowed and there are weddings that end up being paralyzed with the consequent disappointment of the couple, who will also have to pay a fine. The beaches, as you know, are for public use and to be able to hold a private celebration would require a Coastal Demarcation permit, if it is granted. Therefore, if you want to hold a ceremony near the sea with guests and a minimum of furniture we advise you to choose to book in a restaurant located on the beach and avoid risks.
    We hope to clarify some of your doubts and, in any case, you already know that we are here to help you. Do not hesitate to contact us!

Plan ahead

WE MARRIED! THE FIRST, TRANQUILITY, AND AFTER ORGANIZATION

First of all, congratulations on your commitment! You have decided to take a big step. Now you have to organize the event. Planning the wedding well in advance you can control much better all aspects involved in it and nothing fails.
By way of guidance, we offer you an agenda to see the basics that should be taken into account and how to plan each one with sufficient time.

More than a year before

The main thing is to choose the date of the wedding. It will depend on the combination of the availability of the church / city where you want to celebrate the ceremony, and where you are going to celebrate the banquet. Sometimes finding a weekend where both places are available can be tricky depending on the time of year. So the sooner you decide the more likely you will have that the date chosen is free.

For the election of the church or city council you have at your disposal a link with photos and information of all those on the island. As for the banquet, you can also access the list of suppliers and start asking for quotes. The choice must convince you and be liked by both of you. It never hurts to ask advice from people who have attended a wedding on the site that interests you, sometimes word of mouth is the best advertising. Sure in our forum you will find many people to help you with your opinions.

Make an initial list of guests, because depending on the number of guests you will have, there will be places where you can or can not hold the banquet, depending on their capacity.

It is time to announce the commitment to family and friends once you have the date. Keep in mind that if people come from outside the island for the event, they will need a reasonable time to look for plane / boat, lodging, rental car …

You can start looking in magazines, on the Internet, etc., trends of the year for the wedding dress and the groom suit. So you can go in your search with a prior idea of ​​what you like and do not like.

Between 12 and 6 months before

At this moment you must already have the date of the link.

Start searching for possible destinations for the honeymoon, ask budget in the agency for the different options. Always keep in mind if the time of year you are going in the weather is going to be good. Maybe you had in mind a specific destination and it turns out that the wedding date is monsoon season …

It’s time to look for the wedding dress. Visit different places and ask for an appointment to do the tests. If you decide on a custom designed dress, you think you will need time to do it, consult with the designer as soon as possible.

You should also find photographers for the photos and video. Ask for quotes when you go to see their work. It is important that there is communication and some complicity, if you feel comfortable with him or her the photos will come out more natural.

And finally visit florists to see ideas and of course, ask for quotes. Many have photos of flower arrangements that have prepared for other weddings, it is the best way to see the decorative style of the florist, and see if it is to your liking.

3 to 4 months before

Collect the necessary documentation according to whether it is civil or religious wedding (birth certificates, baptism, etc.). It is important not to do this management more than 6 months in advance, as the documentation is only half a year valid, and you should ask for it again.

You can request a website for your wedding. There you can include information of the place where you will celebrate with photos, plans of how to arrive, etc. If you prepare a special section, the guests can leave messages of congratulation. Be sure to include the website address in the invitations so everyone can come and see and participate in it.

It is also time to order the invitations, send them and assure them that those who do not give it in hand receive them.

Start looking for the accessories of the wedding dress (lingerie, shoes, headdresses, etc.) and the groom.

Choose the florist you liked the most and check availability for that day. Many weddings are held on the island, and florists can manage one or two on the same day.

2 months ago

Look for the hairdresser and beautician, and when you have chosen, ask for an appointment to do the test of hair and makeup. In some places you have several tests on different days. We recommend that you take the camera, especially if you do different hairstyles on different days, so you can compare them later.

Inform you if the destination that you have chosen for your trip needs some vaccination. Many of them should be administered at least a month before the trip. Better go with time.

If you decide to do some beauty treatment, ask for information at the beauty center to be able to start it in time.

Look for wedding reminders that are given to guests, as well as cigars or cigars with personalized ring, if the place of the banquet has outside area where you can smoke. Look at the original ideas section, we’ll leave you some fun suggestions.

If you have opted for a jewelry designer for the alliances, do not wait any longer to do so, they need a time for their elaboration.

By these dates the banquet menu is usually tested, and its subsequent choice. Depending on the place, you will be asked to do it sooner or later. If it is a hotel and you marry at the beginning of the season it may be only a month before the wedding.

Between 1 month and 15 days before

You have to make the last test of the dress. It is very possible that with the nerves you have thinned a bit at the last minute, so you probably have to touch up something, get a little here or there …

Reserve the time for the hairdresser. If your mother, your sister or sister-in-law, an aunt, etc., want to prepare in the same hairdresser as you, consult with the manager the possibility of opening that day just for you.

Check that you have everything ready, purchased and contracted (photos-video, clothing and accessories for bride and groom, church choir, wedding trip, banquet place, music for the party, flowers and decoration, transportation for the bride and The guests, etc). We leave you a link with a prepared list. You can print it and go checking what you still lack. LINK!!!!!!!!!

Collect alliances.

It’s time to go to the beauty center for a skin cleansing. Do not leave it for the last day in case you have redness.

One week before the wedding

Collect travel tickets and start packing.

It is most likely that the place of the banquet will ask you for the final number of guests. You should also inform about their distribution by tables, after consulting the number of people who can go in each one.

Go to the beauty salon for the final touches (hair removal, body peeling, grapefruit, etc.).

Check in the bank the limit that you have in the credit cards in case it is advisable to extend it for the trip. And if necessary also, ask for foreign currency if wherever you go you do not have Euro currency.

Make sure that the florist has clear everything you’ve asked, types of flowers, bouquet type, …

A day before the wedding

You can make an “emergency kit” with extra stockings, thread and pin, lip gloss, etc. Leave it to someone you trust if you need to use it. You never know what you might miss and when.

Get the manicure and pedicure.

Pick up the wedding dress and do not let the boyfriend see it!

And finally sleep well, if the nerves leave you !.

The wedding day

If you are nervous, you can take a tea infusion or a valerian. Something soft that calms the nerves, but that does not sleep!

Traditions of Ibiza

The island of Ibiza is much more than a stage worthy of a postcard that will allow you to keep some beautiful photos of your link. The history of the islands and their people has left a legacy that is worth to approach. Its gastronomy, its traditions and a rich historical and cultural heritage are some of the gifts that this island will offer you during your visit. Also, why not include some genuinely ibicenco detail in your wedding? It is a simple homage to this land that welcomes both its residents and those who are passing through.

  HERITAGE: From the plane, the Renaissance walls are the main letter of presentation of the cultural heritage of Ibiza. Thanks to them and to other treasures of this land, Ibiza has been part, since 1999, of the list of cities with goods declared Patrimony of the Humanity. Not in vain Dalt Vila is considered the best preserved fortification of the Mediterranean. Next to the walled enclosure, the Phoenician settlement of sa Caleta, where the Phoenicians who from the second half of the 7th century began to write part of the history of the islands, has also been mentioned by Unesco. And also its natural wealth deserves a remarkable chapter. The oceanic posidonia that covers the seabed of Ibiza and Formentera is also considered a World Heritage Site and is responsible for the beauty of the Pitius waters. And Ibiza is an island loaded with history (Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Muslims and Christians left their mark on them) and attractions that go beyond its more instant beauty. Attractions that can be reached not only by walking through its streets, but also by visiting the Archaeological Museum, the necropolis of Puig des Molins, Madina Yabisah or the Ethnographic Museum of Santa Eulalia.

FOLKLORE: Typical dances, attractive both for what they represent (the procession that was done in the old days and in which the woman maintains a submissive role in front of the man, who takes the initiative with his jumps and pranks) and traditional costumes that dress The balladors and that include jewels like the valuable emprendades, that the families coasted with great effort. There are a lot of local groups (colles) that perform dance exhibitions on the occasion of patron saint festivities and that can also be hired to dance on your wedding day. In addition to the dance, the music of the islands includes glosses (which deal with jocular themes and interpret couples), caramelles (typical of the Christmas season) or ucs (shouts that used to serve men in the countryside to communicate) . The musicians or dancers accompany their exhibitions with instruments of the islands such as castanets, xeremia or spasí.

GASTRONOMY: This land of constrasts also leaves us a gastronomy in which, as it could not be otherwise, fish are especially prominent, emphasizing the bullit or guisat de peix, and the arròs mariner. Typical are also the arròs de matances, the bones with col, the sofrit pagès or the cuinat, proper of the Holy Week. In the section of baking we discover the flaó, a cake with the Arabian echoes that leaves the peppermint and that is also made with fresh cheese of sheep. A miniflao could be a good gift for your guests visit the section ‘other services for your wedding’. The greixonera (which is made with dried ensaimadas, eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar and lemon) and the orelletes and bunyols (which are always distributed in local celebrations) are the other sweets that are not missing on the tables of the islands. Nor can we forget the wines of the land or the local herbs. In recent times have been born different wineries that offer a selection of wines that you can include in your menu. The small bottles of local herbal liqueurs are also an excellent gift for the guests and you will also find in the previous section. Up to a dozen different herbs are used to obtain this delicious liquor that can close the best of the meals next to the coffee cove, which mixes the coffee with cinnamon, cognac and lemon.
