wedding tip
Hair & Makeu p
A bride's hair should complement
her gown, not compete with it. The formality of your
outfit is key and should dictate the direction you go
with your hair. For a chic, modern ensemble like a
pant suit or a simply cut dress, either slick back hair
or wear it in a sleek blow-out. For country or beach
wedding, wear your hair in loose curls sprinkled with
small flowers, or tie it back and accent with a flower.
Ball gown style dresses look best with dramatic updos.
Do a trial run with your hair and makeup and have
photos taken to make sure you’re happy with your
appearance. Check out your makeup both in natural
light and indoors to be sure it’s not too heavy. It is
important to make sure your makeup looks light, clean
and natural. Even though your wedding is a very special
day, keep in mind that you still want to look like you.

If you have any specific photos you want,
communicate your wishes with your
photographer before the wedding. This
will ensure the photos you expect are the
photos that you will get. keep in mind the reason why
you hired the photographer. For example, if you hired
a photographer that is known for a very candid photos,
don’t expect the photographer to spend hours taking
posed pictures.
If you've spent a long time creating invites, menus,
flower arrangements etc, you'll want these little details
captured on film too. For more informal snaps, it's a
lovely idea to place single-use cameras on the tables at
the reception so your guests can capture their version
of the day.
wedding tip
Invitations
keep it simple. Top-of-the-line papers, color ink, and
custom designing will jack up the price. Use response
postcards instead of cards and mini-addressed envelopes.
If you're concerned about postage, stay away from
oversize or bulky styles, and opt for thermography over
engraving or letterpress.
