    The symbol of this anniversary is associated with silver and represents a completed stage in the life of a couple. Before this celebration there are already anniversaries whose symbol is metal, iron (6 years), bronze (8 years), aluminum and steel (10 and 11 years). However, these metals only represent strength, while silver is a metal that also represents nobility and the value of the anniversary.

    Where are they held

    For silver weddings, there are usually not so many demands, usually couples choose a restaurant with a lounge (it doesn’t have to be big). Many places offer catering services and they will surely be able to organize a good silver wedding. If it is in the country, much better, as it will take the place out of its excessive elegance and provide a more versatile and welcoming touch. An outdoor place is perfect for celebrating.

    You can make the invitations for the wedding digital to avoid printing costs, the important thing is that you have a nice message alluding to the date, the date of the celebration, the place, clothing and if you want people to rain an envelope or a gift to celebrate.

    How to go dresses for silver weddings

    There are no specific dress “rules” for the Silver Wedding Anniversary.
    However, what we recommend is that unlike the first bridal wedding, the bride is not dressed in white and instead we propose a pearl or silver colored dress, an elegant outfit, something that shows that it is a different wedding.
    And as for the groom, it will never go out of style to wear a black or dark suit, or if it is a daytime or country celebration, he can dress as he feels most comfortable.

    Everything will depend on your budget, but currently this type of celebration, which was previously more conservative, has changed, adapting to new trends. The same goes for silver wedding cakes, you don’t need it to be something spectacular as the first celebration, but as a detail it creates many memories for the couple.

    Same-sex marriage, what is it?

    Equal marriage is the legal or social recognition of a marriage formed by two men, two women, or possibly two people of the same gender, in those cultures that recognize more than two genders.

    History of Equal Marriage in the world

    The first laws of the current era to recognize same-sex marriage were approved during the first decade of the 21st century, until December 2020, 30 countries (Germany, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Spain, the United States, Finland, France, Ireland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and Uruguay) allow marry same-sex couples in all or part of its territory, the last being Switzerland on December 18, 2020.

    The Netherlands was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage in 2001. Since then, dozens of countries have expanded their definition of marriage to include same-sex couples.

    Danish Axel and Eigil Axgil were the first gay couple to get married in 1989.

    Same-sex marriage is currently legal in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Uruguay, and in the dependent territories of French Guiana and the Falkland Islands. Additionally, another country has a form of civil union or domestic partnerships throughout its national territory, Chile.

    In this way, South America becomes one of the most permissive regions in the world in this matter, like North America, Western Europe and Australasia.

    Is it allowed to have same-sex marriages in Colombia?

    In Colombia, same-sex marriage has been legal since April 28, 2016. Egalitarian weddings have few differences in terms of the legal, with the same formalities, the same rights and requirements demanded of heterosexual couples, to contract a civil marriage you must do it in the notaries and courts since by the church there are still restrictions and it is little accepted by religion.

    Equal marriage in Colombia requirements:

    1. Civil birth records, (authentication must not be older than 3 months).
    2. Copy of the citizenship certificates.
    3. The application that is signed at the notary when the papers are filed.

    These are the requirements to get married if you are a foreigner or one of the two.

    1. Civil birth registration of the Colombian citizen. It must not have more than one month of issue.
    2. Civil birth certificate of the foreign citizen, apostilled and original.
      • If the civil registry is in another language, it must be accompanied by an apostilled translation letter from the consulate or authorized translator.
    3. Single certificate or its equivalent.
    4. Visa of any type or entry permit.
    5. Passport, foreigner’s identity card or card issued by the Protocol Directorate. Current.

    Define what type of ceremony they want:

    If you want a ceremony, the most important thing is to ask yourself, how do you dream of it? What are your spiritual preferences?

    There are people specialized in celebrating spiritual ceremonies to marry two people who love each other, think about how symbolic they want it, will you make vows or say a few words to each other or to your relatives? Will they carry out a rite like the one of light or sand?

    It is important in the ceremony to define roles. Will you walk down the aisle together? Will there be one of the two waiting at the altar for the other person? If they walk down the aisle with a song that they both like a lot, it will give a really special touch to the moment. We recommend planning a single entrance, something that combines with both of you.

    What kind of clothing should be worn?

    There is no rule, being of the same sex does not mean that they should dress the same, there are many possibilities and it all depends on the personality of each person.

    If it is a female couple, they can both wear a long white dress with a veil; You can also go one in a short white dress and another in a long white dress; Another option is to wear a different outfit to what we know and for both parties to wear a suit of a different color, in fact we have seen one in a dress and the other in a suit, so the rules are set by each person.

    In the case of men, they can wear the same suit of the same cut and color or each one can wear a suit of the color and style that they like, the most important thing is comfort and personality.

  • Guide to organizing a business event

    Guide to organizing a business event

    We have the definitive guide to organizing a successful business event without much protocol.

    At Wink events we specialize in organizing business events and with our years of experience we have found some tips that we simply cannot miss every time we organize a business event. Here, we tell you all.

    How to organize a business event step by step

    Organizing an event of any kind is a whole process. To organize a business event step by step you must start with the design, carry out the planning and finally carry out the production.

    Each of these three objectives in turn has a number of steps that may or may not be very relevant to the final result, so we will tell you about them as we progress in this article.

    Step 1:

    Choose the date you are going to hold your event

    There are events that take too long to prepare, and others that can be done in record time. What we do need to know is that when organizing a business event you must choose a realistic date.

    Remember that a business event is, in general, a meeting in which there are many people and there is a schedule with activities to carry out. The more people there are at an event, the more time we should have to organize everything.

    When choosing the date you can get an idea of what the weather is like during the month, this will help you plan if you need tents or if you must adapt a place in case of rain or excessive sun.

    Step 2:

    Choose the place for your business event

    Place for your business event | Wink Events

    The choice of venue can be a decisive factor in the success of your business event. Seek that it is easily accessible for your guests, that it is a recognized location and that it has positive comments.

    Depending on the number of people there and the objectives of the event, make sure that it has enough space for all your guests. The place of the event must also reflect the essence of the event and its hosts regardless of what type it is. When organizing a business event, the first thing you should think about is whether you want a botanical, rustic, corporate (such as an auditorium) or something more country setting.

    If you already have a place to start organizing your business event, what you should do is look for photos of the place on social networks. You can try to imagine if the venues fit the ideas you have for your event.

    Remember to check the availability of the place on the date you want, because if a place is not available it is best to look for another option with which you feel like as soon as possible.

The important thing is to be clear about it so that you can start contacting suppliers and compare them for their quality.

    We propose 2 alternatives to use your budget:

    1. Go spending as you hire services: For this there is no money limit, you simply pay according to what you want to hire.
    2. Establish an overall budget: Organizing a business event based on a budget is the most common. Define the amount of money you want to spend and ask for budgets from the event organizers in the city so as not to spend more than the budget they allocated.

    Wink specializes in tailor-made events, you can contact us, tell us your budget and we will surely give you a solution tailored to your needs.

    Step 4:

    What will the event be like?

    When organizing a business event you must imagine what will happen during the day. Think about whether there will be a show, food and how many moments (snacks, entrance, fort), if there will be food stations such as a dog cart, little recreations, valet parking, music and dancing. So you can make a schedule or minute by minute of how the organization of the event will be done.

    Step 5:

    Choose the services

    Services are the most difficult part to coordinate when you are organizing a business event. You must think about the details and also make the budget work out so that you have all the services you want at the event.

    Choose the Decoration

    You should keep in mind that:

    • The personality of the person who will organize the event or of the guests will be reflected in each element of your event.

    Look for decorations that provide a special and dynamic atmosphere, remember that everything will depend on the type of wedding you have as this indicates the definition of the color palette, concepts and above all, a team that is capable of transforming your ideas into a project come true.

    When we find the right person to share our life with, we feel like the world lacks nothing and we feel stronger, so much so that we could walk through a meteor storm and come out unscathed. Well, don’t take it so literally, it’s a metaphor, but that’s kind of how it feels.

    If you are reading this, it is because you probably have a same-sex couple and they are interested in getting married, but they do not know very well about the protocols and whether or not it is possible to perform a gay marriage in Colombia.

    Well, let’s start with the most important thing and that is to know if in Colombia equal marriage is allowed or not.

    Is gay marriage allowed in Colombia?

    In April 2016, the Constitutional Court approved equal marriage, meaning that yes, you can get married. So there is one more reason to celebrate love.

    Well, having said this, we can talk about topics that generate curiosity, for example, who enters the ceremony first? How do they dress? who speaks first?

    Anyway, we want to clarify that there are no golden rules, the only rule that is unbreakable is that the couple feel comfortable and happy with what they are doing.

  • Wedding Ring Colombia. Traditions, Rules and Where to Buy

    Wedding Ring Colombia. Traditions, Rules and Where to Buy

    If you have been wondering where the wedding ring goes in Colombia, you should know that this question is very common, especially when couples do not have much knowledge about wedding protocols or simply where to place the ring.

    The first thing you should know is that everything that has to do with the organization of your wedding and its details depends on you and your partner. They can choose to wear the ring where they feel most comfortable, or they can just wear it the traditional way.

    And… Where does the wedding ring go?

    Before starting to talk about where the wedding ring goes in Colombia, we want you to know that there are engagement rings that are delivered with the request for a hand; and those of marriage, which are delivered at the time of the ceremony.

    There are those who think that they are used in a different way because, who is going to wear two rings on the same finger, it would be uncomfortable. But, there are designs that allow you to adjust the wedding ring to the engagement ring so that both fit perfectly and are worn without causing pinching or discomfort. So don’t worry, it all depends on what you want as a couple and we’ll see that later.

    Where does the engagement ring go?

    Engagement rings are located on the ring finger of the left hand.

    Engagement rings are not as old as wedding rings. The first woman to wear one was Maria of Burgundy, wife of the Emperor Archduke Maximilian of Austria, who gave her a diamond ring in 1477.

    The design of the diamonds in the ring together form the letter “M”, which is the initial of the Duchess of Burgundy. This cut and the perfection of the diamond made this engagement ring go down in history as the first engagement ring.

     Maria of Burgundy | Wink Eventos

    In the Catholic tradition, it was Pope Nicholas I who decreed and began to make sense of the meaning of the wedding ring. When a man gave an engagement ring to a woman, this denoted the great intention of wanting to marry or be engaged in marriage. So if other men saw the engagement ring on a woman’s hand, they recognized that she was already engaged to someone.

    It was not until some time later that during the request for a hand, the couple began to place the ring on the fourth finger of the left hand. In some cultures even an exchange of rings to promise each other.

    Where does the wedding ring go in Colombia?

    Here in Colombia and in many other countries, wedding rings are worn on the ring finger of the left hand.

    Marriage ring, wedding ring, marriage alliance, ring tread. Call it what you want, the fact is that they have been known for many years and although in the beginning they were made of leather and could be worn on any finger, today their style and way of using them are as varied as each couple that wears them. .

    In Ancient Egypt, rings were used as a synonym for business or commitment and they have always had the same meaning: if a woman was wearing one, she could not be pretended because she was most likely married. The wedding ring seals the commitment of a couple and that way the people around them could know that they were engaged.

    There are many stories about wedding rings, but they all point to the union of two hearts that seal their love with a ring that represents them.

    The Romans said that there was a vein called the vena amoris or vein of love and according to them, this vein traveled from the left ring finger to the heart. This is the most beautiful story and it is the one that usually gets all the smiles when we tell it.

    So everything varies depending on the cultures and traditions, the truth is that there is no golden rule, the idea is that you as a couple feel comfortable with the decision and place it wherever you want, it is placed in the right hand or left.

    The wedding ring or engagement ring is one of the many things that you have to think about in advance of the wedding day, even if it is something so small, it is very important, not only because of its meaning, but because choosing the ring does not It’s simple and doing it with time will give you chances to correct manufacturing errors or if you don’t feel right in the end, change it.

    Tips to choose the perfect ring for your wedding

    Since you already know that any ring is not enough and each style depends on the couple that is going to use it, surely yours has to be as great and unique as you are. Here we will give you some tips to find and choose the perfect ring for your wedding.

    Budget

    The first step and perhaps the most important in any wedding is to define budgets, since the things that can be done will depend on this. Define together with your partner a budget that fits what you want and can afford.

    The rings do not have to be very luxurious, the important thing is that both feel happy with the result and as between tastes, there are no dislikes, they can design it as they want and put the materials they want.

    Model

    This step is very important because it will help you define materials.

    Choosing a model that suits you and your partner is essential. For example, if they prefer things without so much detail, clean and simple designs will be the ones indicated. This varies depending on your tastes and needs.

    Color

    The favorite color for the wedding ring is traditional gold, in its yellow hue. However, many rings are designed with white gold to give it a unique and special look. Although platinum rings are more durable, traditional gold rings are still preferred due to their cost and weight.

    Many couples also choose the wedding ring according to skin color, in some skins the yellow color will stand out more and in others the white color of gold will look better depending on the design.

    Measures

    It is super important that you take the exact measurements and choose the right materials. Many couples choose gold, but you can also choose silver, platinum, titanium, or a material of your choice. Just ask if the material expands or shrinks with chemical or physical reactions (such as heat or cold temperatures) so you won’t have sizing issues if you gain or lose a little weight.

    design and finish

    There are many designs for the rings, if you want it round, square, wide, thin, elongated, with filigree, in white, pink, gold gold, in short, the one that you and your partner like best.

    Be sure to look at pictures of wedding rings everywhere to give you an idea of the design and finish you want for yours. Markup ideas can also give you ideas.

    Once the design of the rings has been chosen, they will be able to engrave the names or the wedding date. A small phrase or a small vow that reminds them of the unconditional love that began with the commitment to be together forever is also customary.

    Personalize

    The couple’s rings do not have to be the same, they can be different.

    It does not matter if the rings are different or are not totally the same. Make sure they keep a design line so they match together.

    When personalizing your ring, decide what you want to decorate it with. Many couples in Colombia use emeralds or diamonds, others prefer only gold arrangements or details. It all depends on the wishes and how they want the jewel to look. No rules.

    We hope this article has been useful for you when choosing engagement and marriage rings. You do not have to follow these recommendations to the letter, but they are a good guide so that the day does not come and you do not have a ring on your hands.

    What is an outdoor wedding like?

    Outdoor weddings have something in common: they are romantic weddings.

    Because we like green, yellow and sunset weddings, of which you have the sunset of various colors and the night of stars, because the warmth is delicious but also the coolest, that’s why we tell you what we can’t let go if we do an outdoor wedding or in a country location.

    The first thing you should think about before doing your outdoor wedding is whether you want the ceremony completely outdoors surrounded by nature or a place with an interior and for this you must think about several things:

    What you should keep in mind if you want an outdoor wedding

    If there are adult guests

    That it’s okay if it’s cold and it’s okay if it’s hot, their health allows them to enjoy themselves in any environment and space, this is super important when it comes to having adult guests, since many limit themselves to enjoying themselves because the conditions of the place don’t allow them to. It allows.

    If there are children

    You need a place where their parents don’t have to worry that something bad might happen to them, where they can feel so free and so much a part of the party that they enjoy it too. A place where mothers can breastfeed, make them sleep or attend to a perhaps urgent need.

    Transportation and its amenities

    We want everyone to find a way to get to our wedding, without ifs and buts and with all the possibilities, but looking at the facilities for your guests to travel is something that must be foreseen,

    • How many have cars?

    • How many do not and need public transportation?

    • What buses pass near your wedding venue?

    • How about we rent a bus for all those who don’t have a car or have one but want to drink alcohol?

    A map of how to get to your wedding is always a good idea

    Make sure everyone arrives, no one gets lost, and give details about the type of terrain your guests will be riding. Some will decide not to bring a car and others will decide to use a shared vehicle due to the terrain conditions.

    Other details we never think about

    Do we need additional furniture or items?

    Tables, rugs, lights, room dividers? get the suppliers you think are necessary to get the furniture you want, remember the essential points to decorate your wedding and that everything goes perfectly:

    • Tableware

    • Centerpieces

    • Lighting

    • Ceremony arch

    • A power generator in case of an energy outage

    • Tent and lighting if needed

    Everything you consider necessary for everything to be perfect.

    Do you need a wedding emergency kit?

    Wedding emergency kits can help you save the day. In it you must include the basics in case an accident occurs, you can also include:

    • Mosquito repellents

    • Nail files

    • Makeup

    • Disposable tissues

    • Mini sewing kits

    • Change of clothes

    The number of waiters to serve your guests

    Generally, nobody thinks about the waiters and they are the key that everything goes well with your guests. Remember that the ideal is to have 1 waiter for every 15 people to have an optimal service and also keep in mind a coordinator who is aware that the cooking times are correct so as not to be late with the main course.

    The weather for the week

    We can’t do anything against the weather, but imagining what can happen is the key to anticipating any unforeseen event. If it is a rainy season, it is better to have a tent, a plan B of where to move the scenes: the welcome cocktail, the ceremony, whatever is necessary.

    If there are sunny days you will need umbrellas, fans and details that will look nice when thinking about everyone’s comfort and if you want to be more risky then give hats to your guests.

    You already have the location, you know what kind of guests are going to attend and you know the many ways they can attend; also take into account the solutionsIt is to the weather in case of rain or excessive sun. What’s next for a perfect outdoor wedding?

    The theme for your outdoor wedding

    You can celebrate your wedding outdoors with any theme, just make sure that everything is well planned and every detail is taken care of in the way you expect.

    Pampas grass, bohemian, industrial, botanical or a mix of concepts, whichever you choose.

    We recommend a wedding board on Pinterest, a folder on your mobile device or wherever you prefer, because nothing is better than having more inspiration than being able to know how each element of the wedding is with respect to that concept.

    Pampas Grass Weddings: Our favorite type of outdoor wedding

    Pampa grass weddings all have the same common denominator, they are held outdoors, and although they are confused with boho or rustic style weddings, they can be perfectly adapted to other wedding styles.

    Pampa Grass: Tips for a Symbolic Ceremony by Mari and Diego

    Pampa Grass:When Mari and Diego decided to get married, nothing was clear, only that the soul of the party would be bohemian, many feathers. They wanted a symbolic ceremony at 3 in the afternoon, 60 people, and lots of food.

    How did they make everything perfect? Here we tell you some tricks used by Mari and Diego.

    When planning a Pampas Grass wedding, Pinterest can be your best friend.

    Mariana and her best friend, Pinterest, had been searching online for 2 months for inspiration for her wedding, she was wondering what would be the perfect place, the ideal environment, the person in charge of looking for the place of dreams asked for many quotes, as many as she needed to have much to choose from, as much as to buy prices, quality and tranquility.

    Wedding boards on Pinterest were a fundamental part of the selection process. The decorations, the meals, reference photos, arrangements, everything seemed to be there.

    Tip: Create your own board and start saving everything you see that you might like, then give it to your wedding planner to design your wedding just as you dream it.

    Diego, the one who listens and considers, was always determined to do something “simple”, “economical” and with “few people”, the 3 variables that the couple always look for when they want to get married, however, accompanied by the Internet and in the company of Mari They took paper and pencil and started.

    The place for your Pampa Grass style wedding

    When it comes to wedding locations, there is only one way to do it. You search the internet, find the location you are looking for and schedule a visit. There are many venue providers, but there is only one location where you want to have your wedding, so be patient.

    What happened to Diego and Mari? Well…they don’t tell it themselves.

    – “What nerves, it was the first meeting of all, the first place we were going to know and we were excited. We went with our best friends and they were the judges on that visit.”

    Visiting places cannot be done alone. Visiting the locations accompanied by close people can help to find different points of view. Of course, it is you who ultimately decides if the location is the one you always dreamed of for your wedding.

    – “That country place outside the city was like we had always dreamed of; with palm trees, trees, illuminated columns and outdoor spaces.”

    Casa Cartagena: A location with everything for a symbolic ceremony Pampa Grass style.

    Casa Cartagena | Wink Eventos

    Some palm trees and curacaos are the ones that welcome the arrival at Casa Cartagena, and it was precisely this detail that made Diego and Mari fall in love.

    Before choosing your location, a visit to each corner to feel its magic

    The couple just observe and the friends ask everything.

    There was no visit to another location. We tried to convince Diego and Mari that Casa Cartagena was the ideal place for their wedding, but the truth is that they were the ones who ended up convincing their friends. They were delighted!

    Without knowing yet how it was, after 2 months they told Wink: Yes, I accept. There began the dream of holding a symbolic ceremony.

    Pampa Grass, the style chosen for your symbolic ceremony

    The style chosen | Wink Events

    Pampas Grass! The first time they heard that word, Mari’s eyes lit up and Diego asked what it was about. Mari already knew everything, she had already seen styles on Pinterest, decorations… it was exciting for her.

    Diego, on his side, was attentive to everything that Mari told him, in a few seconds we realized that it would be an open-air wedding full of love.

    Although they can be associated with boho or rustic weddings, Pampa Grass weddings are characterized by flower arrangements called Cortaderia Seollana. Its soft, feather-like appearance and its versatility are the magic of this type of ceremonies.

    Pampa Grass decorations can be perfectly adapted to other styles of more modern or even minimalist weddings thanks to their versatility and numerous applications.

    How to hold a symbolic ceremony

    Symbolic marriages do not always have to obey a specific type of ceremonial protocol, it is enough to form a bond of true love that cannot be broken over time.

    Mari and Diego decided to do it their way and Wink Eventos helped them plan a perfect wedding. For this they defined their special moments:

    • Arrival at your ceremony location
    • The welcome, with beer, snacks and good conversations.
    • We talk about commitment, love, family and dreams.
    • The vows, beautiful messages full of love from Mari and Diego to themselves.
    • The exchange of rings that symbolize commitment.
    • Stories about their relationship, a moment to evoke the past and the happiness of now being together.
    • Music, more beer, snacks and food.
    • Closing of the ceremony.

    As you see, it doesn’t have to be complex. Until now everything seemed simple and it seemed that all this could be planned by themselves. They already had the location, they knew what the symbolic ceremony would be like and it was time to leave the rest in Wink’s hands.

    It is not a complex process when there is a team supporting all the planning of your wedding. Words like “the most important day of my life” are already loaded with joy and not with anxiety.

    • An abundant decoration of feathers
    • Some giant chairs
    • A space for cocktails on the floor
    • The mix between elegant and comfortable
    • An outdoor cocktail
    • Lots and lots of food
    • live music
    • drinks by the bunch

    Nothing was missing, the big day was as it should be: a blue sky, a perfect garden and 70 people full of happiness and smiles on their faces.
