Getting Ready

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when getting ready on your big day!

1. Wear a zip up or button up shirt; you don’t want to pull a shirt over your hairdo.

2. Plan for extra time. You will probably run behind and a few minutes to sit and breath is kind of nice.

3. Pre layout everything for the big day, the night before. (i.e. necklace, underwear, deodorant, lip-gloss, purse etc.)

4. Ensure you have let your dress breath (wrap it under a bed sheet so it doesn’t get dusty) for a week before the big day, and steam the night before not the morning of.

5. Don’t spray perfume on yourself with your dress on, some perfumes stain!

6. Pack some snacks & water- not choclate, but some almonds, apples, oranges, something that has fiber and energy - just in case you forget to eat.

7. Have the least amount of people with you when getting ready. This equals to less people to distract you and less people to get your dress dirty, rip your dress or just plain get in your way.

First wedding of 2010, and what a beautiful wedding with a fabulous and absolutely stunning couple.

The wedding ceremony was held in the beautiful Jean Baptiste Catholic church in Morinville, Mike’s hometown. The photos below are from the extremely talented Erik Hornung, and are only a sampling, I can’t wait to see the decor and all the rest of the fun bridal party photos!

There was a beautiful blue snowflake brooch in the front of  Taryn’s bouquet from her maid of honor, it was a simple and elegant touch.
