Creating the perfect wedding takes a lot of effort, and many people feel the process of planning and putting together a wedding is beyond their skills, even with help from those who have planned weddings before. Having a great wedding can be a positive learning experience; however, if you keep a few things in mind. Here are some wedding tips.
If the couple wants to get a shot of everyone at their wedding, try to get a shot from up high at the beginning of the ceremony when it’s likely no one will have left yet. If you’re fortunate enough to have a church with a balcony, start from there. Visit the church before the ceremony to choose the best spot to get your shot.
Brides can treat members of the wedding party with handmade fashion emergency kits as a way of saying “thank you” to their bridesmaids and maid of honor. Include quick fixes like heel cushions, fashion tape, bobby pins, and strap strips for strappy heels, sandals, and pumps. Your bridesmaids will be able to strut down the aisle in comfort and style.
Even if your gut tells you otherwise, you should never commit to a wedding photographer without considering several other options. You want your photographer to know exactly what they are doing. It is smart to look online for user reviews of photographers or seek personal recommendations from those you trust.
If you’re going to be photographing a wedding, set your camera to the largest resolution possible. Large photos can be cropped to only include the good parts, which can be very helpful. They are also printable without any blurriness or pixelation, which is important for the wedding album and any framed shots the couple wants to have.
When trying to pare down the guest list, consider who is paying for the wedding, and then allocate them more seats. If the bride’s father is footing the bill, then her side of the family should be permitted to attend. If the couple is paying for the wedding themselves, then they should split the number of attendees in half for each side.
One of the things that you can do to save a lot of money on your wedding is to get a private room at a restaurant. This can be much cheaper than a hotel ballroom and can also elevate the level of intimacy. This alternative for reception locations can improve your wedding and appeal to your budget.
If you want an outdoor wedding, think about the weather. Make sure your guests have enough shade or protection from the wind or rain depending on the season. Do not impose a dress code that is inappropriate for the season. Follow weather forecasts and let your guests know what the weather is going to be like.
With the above new knowledge to help you, you can plan a great wedding — especially if you enlist the help of other people who can add their own knowledge to yours. Then, someday, when someone else you know and love is planning their wedding, you can offer up your own knowledge to help ease the process for them, including the great tips you just learned.
