Heirlooms

Heirlooms If your photographer offers a decorative session and you are wearing your grandma's antique dress, then take it! It is such a sweet way to honor your family and memories. Order a print or picture and gift it to your grandma as a Christmas present.



Your Venue Always remember where you mentioned forever. It will make a fantastic hanging memory from your property.

Bridesmaids' Reactions Whether you desire them from the side while you're placing your dress or want them to get a first look, don't overlook your maids' responses.



Placing on the Dress Among my personal favorites would be that the moment the bride slips right into her dress. It is the symbolic ending of the season of existence, and also the beginning of forever with her spouse.



Friends Helping Want a blunt moment between you and your BFF? Ensure that your photog arrives during prep time to snag some sweet moments between the both of you.



Mom Helping She helped you place on everything from the pretend princess dresses to the outfits YOU chosen out when you were a small girl. Now, she is helping you enter your dress. A chance which might be once in a lifetime.



Groom Getting Ready Do not forget your man! You'll both enjoy looking back on his special moments before the "I do's."  



Pre-Ceremony Emotions A trending moment you will discover lots of photographers capturing is Dad's very first look. One which I believe should've been around a lot more.



First Appearance If you want to save precious time following the ceremony, consider doing a first appearance session beforehand. It's not for everybody and that is fine! Nonetheless, it makes for your sweetest shots. Consult your photographer in their initial look coverage before your big day.



Alternative: First Touch An alternative to the first look is exactly what I like to call the 'first touch' or 'blind touch.' In this instant, couples can choose to read and swap gifts and letters or pray together prior to the service without actually seeing each other in wedding apparel.



Wedding Day Letters If you don't want to do a first appearance or blind touch, then think about something easy such as exchanging letters while you're getting prepared for the big moment. Not only does this create a sense of anticipation, but it is also a sweet way to express your love if you're not writing your own vows. A photograph of these letters can be utilized as a centerpiece of a gallery wall in your home in the future.



Bridal Party Before Ceremony I love when bride treat their bride by reading letters out or praying for her before she walks down the aisle. This adds a close, personal touch to your journalistic wedding day.



Presents to Parents/Bridal Party/Loved Ones Have your photographer catch the moment you give special gifts to your loved ones on the big day.



Prior to Bride Walks Down the Aisle Anticipation and pleasure! These last minutes before walking down the aisle are among the rarest and most emotional.



Ring Bearer/Flower Girl "Hi, Mom!!" In case you have a flower girl or ring bearer, then chances are you're gonna have some amusement.



Groom's Reaction A MUST!!!! Particularly if you're opting from a first appearance.



View From Above Long train: assess. Stunning church: check. Balcony view: double check. If you have more than one photographer shooting at your wedding, make sure one of these gets a balcony shot such as this one.



The Aisle Walk Whoever accompanies you, ensure your photographer has a front row seat for this moment.



Parents Coming Back Up the Aisle Do not forget to request your photog to catch the expression of bliss on your parents' faces.



Downtime Following the Ceremony If you invested in a journalistic and joy seeking photographer, they'll follow you and shoot from a distance to catch your first minutes as a married couple.



Anniversary Dance Selecting a DJ or a group? Ask them to organize a anniversary dance. How it works: all couples are invited into the dance floor. As couples are dancing, the DJ calls for a certain number of years (i.e. 5 decades or less) along with the couples who are married less than 5 years leave the dancing floor. You're left. It's a great opportunity to grab infrequent, candid moments of loved ones.



The Cake Go all out with the cake. Dresses and tuxedos can get tidy. . .make it EPIC!



Send-Off Do not neglect the romantic departure! Sneak in one smooch before hitting on the street.   See 17 Wedding Exit Ideas >>

Silver and Gold Stylist Mandy Kellogg Rye mixed pastels, jewel tones and metallics to make a one of a kind and free-form colour palette. Floral designer Lindsay Coletta urges not being too restricted by a set color palette when designing your own wedding. Let nature and an inspired mixture of color and texture direct your selection of flowers as well as other wedding components, rather than making things overly matchy-matchy and reliant upon a single pair colour.



Llama Lasso What's far better than a llama? A llama wearing a flowery necklace, needless to say. Lindsay Coletta loves to attract animals, from horses to alpacas to the parties and weddings she generates. With this fantasy outdoor wedding she used the llamas as au naturel "props" milling in the occasion like honored guests.

Blushing Bride Blush has been a favorite colour scheme for weddings, also looks great in bouquets or clothing, particularly if set off by metallics such as the beadwork within this bride's apparel.



The Happy Couple If you're planning an outdoor wedding, find a photographer skilled at working with natural light.



All in the Mix By mixing this glittery evening dress and sparkly jewelry using a natural, outdoor setting, this rustic wedding gets kicked up a notch.



Take Shelter If tents or other shelters are on your outdoor wedding plan, take into consideration how to embellish them for your special moment. Floral designer Lindsay Coletta continued the subject of flowery wreaths around her llamas' necks, by adorning the entrance to the teepee with a wreath of fresh flowers.



Sunlight Shindig Gold ottomans, plenty of throw rugs and animals skins lend a serene, luxurious atmosphere and produce the concept of a picnic on the floor considerably more glamorous.



Bring in Your Style Think about integrating elements from your home for your wedding day, whether household silver, heirlooms, rugs or cosmetic flourishes, to deliver a bit of your personality to the event.



Fruit Tray Blueberries, figs, pomegranate and celebrity fruit supply an exotic bounty. Contain fruit and create a house garden or neighborhood farmers' market in your wedding celebrate the tastes of the year.
