Tips and Advice

A few tips....

* Meet your photographer and get a feel for their personality. 

* Have some dedicated to putting on boutineers for the guys.  (They always seem to struggle - LOL)

* Don't wear gawdy bling-bling.  It dates your photos.  Less is more.

* Brides, hair glitter is awful on film.  It ends up looking like dandruff.

* Color!  It's lovely on film.  Go bold, I say.  Pastels are pretty, but Bold is BEAUTIFUL on film.  I can get really creatively crazy with lots of color.

* Brides...eat something before you start getting ready.  Have a nice champayne brunch or something is you are having a late afternoon wedding.  You may not get a chance to eat later. 

* As your wedding party is announced at the reception....Going straight into the first dance is just a fantastic way to start your life together and really sets the mood of the reception.

* Make an emergancy kit to get ready. ....Bobby pins, safety pins, shout-it-out wipes, steamer, hairspray, thread n needles, extra clasps that match the ones on your dress and bridemaid dresses, pasties, body tape, batteries, clear nail polish, deoderant, band-aids.  You can never have too much of the little things for the big day.  - Don't forget your 'something borrow, something blue, something old and something new!  ...and the garter!  (They do make blue garters.)

* For your bridal gifts....Give your bridesmaids jewelry that they will wear at the wedding.  And the guys always like a good engraved 'beer mug'.

* For the departure shower....Sparkler's are Terrible on film.  Bubbles are good.  Bright Flower petals Big Bright Cut Confetti chips are Lovely on film!  Streamers or silly string is hilarious.

*Get creative....It's only the Best Day of your Life together.  Make it fun!
