7 Wedding tips you should know
BRIDE AND GROOM PORTRAITS
I know, you probably aren’t a model. It will shock you, but we actually love photographing ordinary people and making them feel and look amazing.
For that to happen, we would need at least 15-30 minutes, when people won’t notice you missing for a few minutes.
AVOID TALL (FLOWER) ARRANGEMENTS ON THE BRIDE AND GROOMS TABLE (AT LEAST)
Ok, ok, they look pretty nice in pictures, when everything is set up and nobody is in the room.
BUT! It is so so hard and almost impossible to have a nice photo of people at the table when something 1m high is standing right in front of them!
There are always faces covered and no matter how much of a ninja photographer you were, there’s no way you will be able to get good photos!
TOO MANY DECORATIONS LEFT OVER?
Have someone collect everything. Go enjoy your honeymoon, then come back and sell it, or even start a business if you loved the process of crafting and designing.
If you splashed money on flowers, what about donating your wedding flowers to a nursing home? They could bring a smile or two instead of being chucked away.
PHONES AND SPEECHES DON’T GO TOGETHER
We love technology, too. But not when it comes to wedding speeches, I am sorry. There’s just something really off when a bride, groom, or anyone else who is having a speech is reading it from their phones. The old pen and paper are still very much appreciated by everyone listening. You could actually keep that in a keepsake box for your children to get inspired from!
ENTERTAINMENT – MAKES OR BREAKS THE PARTY
The entertainment is what makes or breaks the atmosphere during the wedding party.
No matter how much money you’ve invested in the venue, food, vendors, if your reception has nothing exciting, people won’t have much to remember.
Wouldn’t you want your friends and family to remember your day by how fun it all was? And how often do you get your best friends all in one place? One thing I’ve learned, no matter the age, people love to have fun and they’re always up for games and for striking a silly pose!
Here are some ideas on how to make your wedding day stick in people’s minds:
Live band
Awesome DJ
Magician
Photo Booth
Outdoor games
Bonfire (with snacks, of course)
Fireworks
SPARKLERS
Make sure you get long sparklers for your wedding day.
Have plenty of matches for many people to start lighting the sparklers at the same time.
One guest always gets more excited so he’ll be first to light it – that’s why they need to be long!
Safety first – so have jars of sand ready for leftovers
Everyone should light them at the same time
Mind your hair!
Sparklers photographs make for some beautiful memories, but make sure they last long enough and the bride and groom should definitely hold one, too!
BE FLEXIBLE
There’s a slight possibility some things won’t go as planned. There’s an even bigger chance that your lifelong dream of marrying a prince coming on a white horse won’t happen (unless you asked for a LandRover, then lucky you!).
If it rains instead of the beautiful sunny day you asked for, don’t worry, we’re all waterproof.
Stressing won’t help but might make people uncomfortable around you on the wedding day. You should just enjoy and think of all the free time you’ll have after the wedding admin is finished!
