Even if you have been living together for a couple of years, your wedding night simply must be exceptional, romantic, and special! YesYes is your faithful assistant and advisor in this matter too! We will tell you in detail how to choose a hotel, book a room, and what to take care of so that the end of your wedding celebration truly becomes amazing for you. And at the end of the article, several secrets await you on how not to oversleep your wedding night!
Hotel room or home?
Of course, it all depends on what wedding budget you have. If you don’t have a lot of money, you can create extraordinary romance in your own bedroom - change the light bulbs in the chandelier to red ones, lay down new silk bed linen, fill the room with aromas, pleasant music and candles. Only then you can’t do without the help of a friend or sister! Cleaning after getting ready for the registry office, preparing the room and creating the necessary atmosphere will require time, which the bride has catastrophically little on her wedding day.
If you are still dreaming of your own apartment and live with your parents, ask them to spend the night with relatives.
A less expensive option, compared to a hotel, for a venue for the first wedding night is a rented apartment. Of course, luxury, of course, in the city center or in a beautiful, quiet area. You will have to go and look at the offers you like in order to choose the one that is worthy of you. Now the real estate market offers designer apartments, stylish lofts, furnished with leather furniture, and Persian carpets on the floors. Just keep in mind that the rented apartment should also be prepared and decorated by someone close to you for your arrival after the wedding banquet.
And most modern newlyweds prefer not to skimp on the most intimate part of the wedding celebration. Moreover, a hotel room can be a great start to the whole event: the bride’s preparations will take place there, from there you will go to the registry office, for a walk and a wedding banquet, and return in the evening for the first wedding night. By this time, the hotel staff will put your room in order and prepare it in accordance with all requirements and plans. All you have to do is relax and enjoy this extraordinary symbolic night.
Own apartment
Perhaps you already have some kind of housing, rented or your own, where you can go on your special night. You can clean the apartment in advance and prepare it for your arrival. Make the bed with new beautiful linens, buy relaxing foam or bath salts, stock up on delicious food and light alcohol (at the wedding itself, the bride and groom usually don’t get a chance to eat properly). Just don’t invite friends or relatives to spend the night with you, your wedding night will be irreparably ruined.
This option may not be the most romantic, but it is perfect for those people who can hardly stand spending the night in foreign places.

Choosing a hotel for the first wedding night
So, you have decided for yourself that you will spend your wedding night in a hotel room! For everything to go perfectly, you need to take time to choose the hotel itself. We think you've heard a lot about the booking.com resource, which provides complete information about all the hotels in your city. Put hotels into sorting mode - and you will receive a guest rating and a real rating of hotels not only in your city, but throughout the world.
Remember that a beautiful hotel interior can be used in wedding photography.
We recommend: choose a hotel where you can spend both the banquet and your wedding night. It's not just convenient. Very often, hotels in this situation make significant discounts on the decoration of the hall, preparation of the room for the newlyweds, a bar and a special menu for the newlyweds and on the banquet itself. Most likely, you will be offered a room for newlyweds with a significant discount.
Although almost all modern hotels have special rooms for newlyweds, do not forget to ask the administrator about this. Such rooms are certainly more expensive than others, and prices can vary from 500 UAH to 1000 dollars per night.
By the way, didn’t you forget to include the expenses for your wedding night in your wedding budget? In order not to miss anything, use our budget planner - this way expenses will not be lost, and you will save your budget from unexpected expenses.
Before you book a hotel, check!
You don’t need to rely on the “honest” word of the hotel administrator that “everything is great and cool!” You need to see everything for yourself: what room is inside, what bed, what bed linen, what color of walls and curtains - the whole furnishings should be to your liking. It is necessary to take into account even such an aspect as the view from the window! Imagine, waking up in the morning, you go to the window to watch the sunrise with your loved one, and there... a construction site or the wall of a neighboring house (this is in the best case). Check which floor your room will be on, whether the elevator works, and how soundproofed the room is.
Don’t forget that you have to leave your room at 12 o’clock, so book a hotel for two days.
Own apartment
This, of course, is not the most original option, but reliable and familiar. In addition, you can prepare everything in advance: arrange candles and incense sticks, make beautiful bed linen, put fruit and a bottle of champagne on the table. In your own apartment, no one will disturb you, and you can spend your wedding night the way you want!
Hotel room for newlyweds
When booking a hotel room, discuss the following questions with the administrator:
1 How the room is decorated for the wedding night: what flowers will stand, where and how many rose petals will be scattered, will there be candles, fruits, glasses. If you imagine the beginning of your romantic night in the bathroom, clarify this nuance - it will also need to be decorated.
2 Is there a room with premium amenities such as a hot tub, fireplace and king size bed. This will open up more opportunities for you to relax together as a couple.
3 Traditionally, the hotel gives the newlyweds a bottle of champagne. If you prefer a different drink, it is wise to warn about this.
4 Discuss the menu for the evening (fruits, light snacks) and for breakfast. Remember that you can always count on food from the banquet packed for you.
5 What is the total cost of all services provided and the room as a whole.
Having agreed on all the conditions, it is necessary to document this.
As a rule, the hotel service is very responsible in preparing the room for the newlyweds and creating favorable conditions for them - everyone understands the importance and sensitivity of such a moment.
If you don't trust the hotel staff's taste, ask your decorator to decorate the bridal suite.
Parents' apartment
Perhaps, if you can find a worse place for your wedding night, it’s your parents’ apartment. Of course, they may turn out to be amazingly sensitive people and will try to spend the night with relatives that night, however, this is unlikely to help you fully relax. You are already an established couple who wants to feel like they are in their own nest. But here everything will not be the way you want it to be. And I somehow don’t want to create a romantic atmosphere (rose petals, candles) in this apartment.

Secrets of a bright first wedding night
Now let's touch on the most sensitive, but very exciting topic for every bride - how to make the first wedding night delightful. In the 21st century, lovers do not restrain themselves and have intimacy long before the wedding. But even if this is not your first time in general, this is your first time in your new status as husband and wife. And you both want to remember him as special, don’t you? But you will be surprised to learn that most newlyweds, after a busy wedding day, have neither the strength nor the mood for each other. Are you ready to sleep through your first wedding night? If the answer is “no,” the following tips are just for you!
1 The main mistake of newly-made husband and wife is to have fun at the wedding banquet with guests until they drop. Often, before dawn. Of course, you want to make the most of the holiday, share the whole range of emotions and states with friends and family. But we must not forget that a wedding is not just a cool get-together or an expensive party, it is a celebration of the union of two people, it is a celebration of love and fidelity, and it is your love, tenderness and care for each other that is the halo of the whole event. Therefore, feel free to say goodbye to your guests after the sweet table and spend this night alone.
2 If you are still not ready to leave your guests alone all night, we suggest you escape from the wedding reception for a couple of hours and then return. It is very convenient to do this if you have chosen a restaurant and a room for the newlyweds in the same hotel. The status of fugitives will add romantic notes to your intimacy and fuel passion!
3 The best way to start a romantic night is to take a shower or bath together. After a busy day (gatherings, ceremonies, photo sessions, receiving congratulations, gifts, dancing, excitement), water with fragrant foam will relieve fatigue and invigorate you for new exploits. Scented candles and background music will be a pleasant addition to sharing water treatments.
4 Beautiful underwear, which you will prepare especially for your wedding night, will also help create the right mood. And it doesn't have to be white. It all depends on your personal preferences, of course. We just remind you that you shouldn’t think in stereotypes!
5 Why not remember your very first time? Many couples remember their first intimacy in the smallest detail and consider it the best. You can play the same song, order the same wine in your room, or verbally describe to each other your feelings and thoughts that evening!
6 An excellent incentive to make the night unique will be your decision to record a home video as a keepsake. And you should not take such a proposal with hostility or as the height of vulgarity. Many couples practice this and note that it really turns on :) Think about it.
7 Last tip: get creative! We so often advise newlyweds to imagine how they see their wedding ceremony, what their cake and images will be like, but what’s worse about the first wedding night? This is the most wonderful time to make your dreams come true! Prepare gifts for each other with a hint or make a video where you talk about what you have been wanting for a long time and exchange notes during a musical break at the banquet. This will definitely rekindle the mutual desire to save energy for the wedding night.
Do not save any effort or money for your wedding night. May you have a magically chic end to your wedding celebration! Spending the money on an awesome hotel room is worth it! Love each other, enjoy each other!
Airplane seat
Perhaps one of the most unusual and even extreme options. You will have the opportunity to spend your wedding night in the air if you go on your honeymoon immediately after the wedding banquet. If you choose this option, you will find minimal comfort and very little rest, unless you get to sleep a little in uncomfortable seats or buy business class tickets. But how much romance! Especially if you go to the airport right in your wedding dresses.
But no matter how the circumstances develop and no matter where you have to spend your first night as husband and wife, remember that the main thing is your love. Try to make this night memorable and beautiful in any situation.
What do you think, where should you spend your first wedding night to make it special and memorable for a long time?
