94I think by the wedding day my photographer will pretty much have no detail shots to worry about, haha. Let me know if all my pics are getting obnoxious.
At last I found them! I had a fever all day, but these were delivered from Macy's today, and after a 8 hour nyquil nap, I had to bust out my camera and document their perfection. Can't believe only...
I'm having trouble figuring out flowers for my wedding. I know I want succulents in my bouquet, but I also feel like I need some color as well. It's in April at a state park nature lodge. My...
My venue is a nature lodge in the middle of nowhere. I have a hair and makeup artist coming that morning, but aside from her, everyone will already be at the venue the night before. There’s no cafes...
I saw these at a wedding I shot this weekend and they were so much fun! They are foam, so if someone gets hit in the face by accident it's not a big deal. We're having probably 130ish guests. These...
So my dress has to be hemmed a LOT. Starting alterations at the beginning of December, and I'm still second guessing shoes. I've bought a total of 4 different pairs. I JUST ordered the Fran's so if...
So we're planning our reception bar/food menu with our venue. He really prefers to not have mixed drinks at our wedding, as my mom is notoriously an awful human being when whiskey is involved. I agree...
So I work in the wedding industry as a photographer. I do a LOT of weddings. The last 2 consults I’ve had scheduled for couples for my own venue have cancelled last minute citing that they were “going...
We aren’t doing a bouquet or garter toss, but I came up with the idea today of having a “dance off”. I’ll announce before a song (I’m thinking Usher’s Yeah!- but open to more suggestions!) that we’re...
4.20.19 people, how's your wedding plans coming along?
So the dreaded hashtag post. I'm making our welcome sign and want to put a hashtag on it. We are not changing our last names (our future kiddos will be taking my last name #feminist), so no misses to...
I was just creeping Ryan Lotche’s wedding photographer and I stumbled upon this nifty calculator tool on his website: http://www.chardphoto.com/blog/calculator/
We're having approximately 125-145 guests. We are inviting 165, but I'm guessing that those numbers will be about how many people RSVP yes. Our cocktail hour will be about 40-45 minutes immediately...
$15 in supplies and two bad glue gun burns, and now I have 4 flower girl halos.
We're inviting nieces and nephews, so we have quite a few littles ones coming to our celebration. I've started making activity bags with stickers, a colorable wooden mask, a wedding trivia tic tac toe...
My mom was diagnosed with progressive MS recently. Her condition is rapidly deteriorating, and we are anxious to get her started on the appropriate medication (she’s currently applied for it, but it’s...
FH's family wont be arriving to our venue until the day of the wedding. So I decided a rehearsal dinner doesn't quite make sense without them, because only my family would be present. I do have out of...
I bit the bullet and bought myself a cricut and made our cat themed table numbers. I had trouble with figuring out the scale at first so they’re all slightly different sizes, but I think that adds to...
We aren’t having a rehearsal but we do have family who will be at our destination venue the night before, so we thought I would be nice to coordinate a dinner. Is host provided alcohol expected for...
After talking to my venue, they agreed to let us close bar for the dinner if we wanted to, so we could extend 4 hours of open bar time. Does this timeline for a reception seem reasonable? 5:45-6:30...
