Make Time For The Dress

In the rush of the day, there is one moment that always seems to get rushed and hurried along: putting on THE dress. This is that final touch that screams "I'm a bride!" and it's the one thing in your wardrobe your spouse will forever have engrained in their memory. Putting that gown on should take some time, should include those closest to you and may bring on happy tears, or excitement, maybe even anxious nerves as you wait to see your spouse. I'm grateful to the wedding planners that allow ample time to enjoy this moment and for a team of wedding professionals that help us meet our key times all day so that this, among many other incredible moments on your wedding day, will feel meaningful and significant.

Scene Stealer

We all love a cute flowergirl, right? Then the bride goes and puts her in this dress and she looks like the most delightful walking pastry wrapped in clouds.... and there might be wings hidden under there somewhere. She had everyone's eyes. 

 

Soak It In

To all the brides-to-be this weekend and beyond....

Soak up the day. Look around you when you reach the end of the aisle...those people may never all be in one place at the same time again. Get a few minutes alone. Text your groom a love note. Smile. Enjoy it and try not worry about the details (ps - consider getting a good wedding planner).. When you're visibly and genuinely happy, it will show in your photos :)
