Ceremony

Most important advice for newlyweds

Take your time and don’t rush with everything you do — exchanging rings, walking, kissing — enjoy every moment. Your photographer will be grateful and you will look more relaxed. 

You can practice exchanging rings, leaning in for a kiss, and walking in shoes and a long dress at home before the ceremony—this might help you feel calmer!

Say your own vows

I highly recommend incorporating personal vows when you hold the ring and say 'I do' to each other. It makes the moment even more special and emotional — I almost cried at the wedding of these two amazing people. You and your guests will cherish this moment even more. Personally, I don’t remember the exact words they said, but I do remember how they made me feel. And I could see from the other guests that this was the most memorable part of the entire event.

Where to take photos near the wedding palace?

If you want a longer photoshoot, some places which you can reach on foot:

• Teatro street (some old and beautiful architecture)
• Oldtown
• Sip coffee at Caffeine on Teatro street
• Park next to wedding palace
• Tauras hill
• New pedestrian bridge (looks very modern)
• Tiškevičių palace
• Lukiškių square
• Petro Cvirkos square

Don’t forget to bring champagne!

And cherish your love with guests!

Where to seat guests?

I recommend deciding where you would like to seat the guests before the ceremony. If you don’t mind having them in the background, you can seat them as shown in the picture below. However, from a photographer’s perspective, I advise seating them in front of the ceremony area, so photos will look cleaner. You can take pictures with guests after ceremony.

How much does it cost to register a marriage?

• 30 EUR — if you want ceremony in the Wedding palace.
  
• 70 EUR — if you want to get marry in other place (plus travel costs to the selected spot)
  

If you want to get record of marriage, it costs additionally 4.3 EUR.
