tip: aisle walking for the bride

The bride traditionally walks on her usher’s left side; however, if the bride has a long train you might want to be on the other side so they do not walk on your train as the leave you. As you come out of the ceremony the bride is on the groom’s right hand side. Remember to smile and take your time.

tip: holding your flowers

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Going forward, along with pictures of the weddings I have the honor to be a part of, I will be updating the blog with tips and trends to keep blog readers in the know. so here is your first tip!
 
A common mistake made (because you/your bridesmaids are nervous) is holding your flowers to high. I always tell my ladies to hold their flowers at their belly buttons. You certainly do not want photos with your flowers covering your chest or face (where most people tend to hold them). Of course this works with most bouquets.’

Okay I may be swimming in them right now, as so many lovely magazines have just come out. I love them all. I must say Brides is one of my favorite this time around, so many fabulous details.

Oh and I got word that the new Weddingbells (with my first ad enclosed – you have to see it, it’s wicked awesome) will be in stores next week!

Engagement photos are a fabulous way to try out a photographer without committing to them (if you are unsure of them), some photographers even have them attached to their packages that way they can see how the two of you will react together.

Choose some places that mean something to you, perhaps your a teacher and want to go to a school to do photos, or perhaps the place that he proposed. How about your favorite place for date night? There are endless options and if you can’t decide ask your photographer – that’s why you hired them!

Wear something that you are comfortable in, remember lots of people will be looking at these photos. Choose something that fits your personality, don’t wear a dress for the photos if you never ever wear a dress, your face will say you are uncomfortable!

You should do these photos as soon as possible, that way they are out of the way. What do I mean? Well if you wait till two months before your wedding you probably won’t be able to find time, you will have several other details to worry about and other more important appointments to attend to.

Remember these photos are fabulous for guestbook tables, cake tables, guestbooks, save the dates, website content, table numbers, or even perhaps a beautiful book for your parents for Christmas! The possibilities are endless!
