As Karem Events we exclusively work with Birdcage 33 Hotel, Yalıkavak. It is quite a new venue located on the hills of Yalıkavak, overlooking to the marina and the bay, with an amazing view. In the summer of 2022, Karpat was in charge of creating the concept of the restaurant and the Mediterranean fusion menu while we were working as their food and beverage management consultants.

Did you select your bride’s maids and best men?
They will be the most important guests of your wedding so picking them and asking them formally is quite important. They will be standing next to you, on one of your most important days of your life. Of course we know that you will pick dependable, trustworthy and fun friends. Don’t forget to choose the ones who look great in photographs as well (just kidding) :)
You might notice that wedding planning can be stressful. Be sure to pick who will definitely help you. Turn the asking procedure into a fun moment, maybe a brunch, a dinner, or mimicking as if you are asking to get married but instead asking “Would you be my bride’s maid?”. Don’t be shy to be creative, because it will also be a day for them to remember for the rest of their lives as well.
Did you send save-the-dates?
It is better for all to set the date as early as 11 month mark to keep a period for all to make their travel plans! They will definitely need time for that. We all have to adjust our calendars. Don’t forget to include all the available information that you have established until 11th month. Date and the city, the hotel, pics and websites… If you dealt a discount for your guests with the hotel or any other means that they might benefit, include that information as well. Use a nice photo of you as a couple while you post the save the date information with it! You can use an electronic save the date format instead of paper print letters to be more sustainable!
Did you choose your wedding colors?
It is better to narrow down your color palette sooner because it will affect all your choices! Those colors should be the ones you both will love and it will fit your mood of the day. Pick colors that coincide with the theme in your mind. Don’t forget, colors have energy and generates emotional effects. Choose the ones that will make you feel awesome and highlight your day.
