5 More Wedding tips you should know.
LUNCH + VENDORS MEALS
A wedding day is filled with excitement and you most likely forget important things – like eating.
As a bride, you should absolutely be a priority to eat in the morning and at lunchtime as well as for the bridesmaids or whoever is with you in the morning.
Your parents, friends, photographer, children, everyone needs to be fed to keep people standing ’till the end.
Keep it simple – croissants, fruits, sandwiches, dried fruits, they all are more than enough to keep everyone energised and happy!
TAXI, PLEASE!
This is a mistake we see at so many events – people don’t really consider transportation before the wedding ceremony. Ordering a taxi on the same day is never a good idea because it can be quite unpredictable, especially in the countryside! So please, do book your taxi at least one day in advance. It’s way less stressful!
HAVE CLEAR SIGNS
A couple of junctions before the wedding venue/ church/ cocktail hour location/ make sure there are very clear signs people can follow.
Balloons, written signs, a unicorn, whatever you can imagine, but please use something.
You don’t want to have a big surprise and get stressed out on your wedding day when vendors or guests get lost on the way (I’ve seen it happen more than once)…
CONFETTI SECRETS
Confetti shots are some of our favourite moments of the day and everyone loves them. What we’ve discovered, though, is that there are so many different types of confetti and some of them.. just stick with you throughout the day.
Some couples choose lavender confetti because it’s popular and also churches would accept natural flowers to paper ones, of course.
What we found, though, is that lavender, or rice or other tiny bits of flower petals are such a pain once the shot is done. They stick in your hair (looking like dandruff in photos all day long), in your dress, and other bits you can imagine yourself. So please, try and avoid them.
There are so many natural alternatives to small confetti:
confetti bubbles
big rose petals (a personal favourite)
leaves
fresh wildflowers ( larger size, please)
confetti paper strings
FAMILY PHOTOS
Although they may sound boring for some I think these are essential. Making sure you show value and appreciation for your family taking part in the event, is priceless.
Also, people don’t stay forever and that might be one of your last memories of them. So make sure it’s documented!
Plan between 10-15 group shots maximum. Too much will be overtiring and not pleasant anymore.
Plan to have them during daylight
Elderly people first on the list.
Make sure you let your photographer know if someone very important is present and must have a photograph taken.
