Where Can I Find Wedding Cake Photos & Design Ideas?
Have your wedding cake designer walk you through the options for styling your wedding cake and be sure to taste all your options before making a decision.
When you have made an appointment to sample wedding cakes and determine what you will have at your wedding, first consider the number of guests you will need to feed at the reception.
Then have your wedding cake designer walk you through the options for styling your wedding cake and be sure to taste all your options before making a decision.
Where Can I See Wedding Dress & Gown Photos?
Start planning your wedding as soon as possible. This will allow you to shop around for things like catering, cake bakeries, wedding dresses and venues without the added stress of time constraints. If you are purchasing your wedding dress, you could save money by purchasing a “like new” wedding dress. There are many stores that will offer wedding dresses that have only been worn once. These dresses will be cheaper than purchasing a brand new dress and could look as great as a brand new dress. Wedding dresses are marked up by fifty percent or more. You should see if you can get a discount on the one you love, or maybe one that has a flaw that they’ve put away in the back.
Where Can I Find Wedding Flower & Bouquet Photos?
The flowers you choose for your bridal bouquet are extremely special. They are the flowers that you will hold as you walk down the isle. Take care that you choose a bouquet that you will love and that complement the rest of the wedding flowers you have chosen. Shop around!
Make sure you call plenty of florists when you are pricing flowers for your big day. Wedding flowers can be one of the costliest parts of your planning process. You may want to look into creating your own arrangements and buying your flowers from a wholesale outlet. There are many flower arranging tips online that can help.
Where Can I See Wedding & Engagement Ring Photos?
Consider which precious metal to choose for your engagement ring purchase. After setting and stone, the type of metal you choose makes your ring one of a kind. You should pay attention to any jewelry that your sweetie wears to fully understand her preference.
Some women like white metals, while others appreciate yellows. If you have some fine jewelry or heirloom jewelry whose value you want to protect through insurance, it is wise to take excellent pictures of these pieces and to have an appraisal done by a professional.
Platinum and white gold hold up well to daily wear, while softer metals like rose gold may need more frequent polishing over the years.
Where Can I Find Wedding Invitation Photos & Ideas?
When ordering wedding invitations, make sure that you always order a few more then you are expecting to mail out. When you will be writing the invitations you might realize that you should have had someone on the list but did not. Since it costs quite a bit to have them printed, it is good to just have them handy.
Make your own wedding invitations or have a relative or friend do it. More than likely you have a budding artist in you circle of acquaintances that would love to try their hand as some hand made paper invitations.
What Do Custom Wedding Albums Actually Look Like?
Our albums are all uniquely designed for you. We don’t use templates, and we don’t use any one else’s designs, so your album will be as unique as you are. At Gia Photos, we take our time to make your album as great you desire. We will take into account all your ideas and suggestions and you will have the last ok before we send it to print. Your wedding album will be the most important piece and the wrap-up of all these significant moments that took place during the ceremony and the reception, and if you want, from the engagement session too.

Wedding Details: Frequently Asked Questions
How Far in Advance Should I Book My Wedding Cake Designer?
As soon as you’ve confirmed your guest count, since portion planning and flavor tastings both depend on how many guests you’ll be feeding at the reception.
Can I Save Money Buying a “Like New” Wedding Dress Instead of New?
Yes. Dresses worn only once are often marked well below the fifty percent-plus markup on brand-new gowns, and stores will sometimes discount a dress further if it has a small flaw.
How Much Should I Budget for Wedding Flowers?
Flowers are one of the costliest parts of wedding planning, so call several florists to compare pricing, and consider wholesale outlets or DIY arranging to bring costs down.
What Should I Consider When Choosing a Wedding Ring Metal?
After the setting and stone, metal is what makes the ring unique — pay attention to the jewelry your partner already wears (white metals versus yellow) as a guide to their preference.
Should I Order Extra Wedding Invitations?
Yes, always order a few more than your expected mailing list. Reprints cost more, and it’s common to remember a guest you initially left off.
Can I Make My Own Wedding Invitations?
Absolutely. Many couples ask a friend or relative with an artistic eye to hand-make paper invitations for a personal, budget-friendly touch.
What Makes a Wedding Album Different From a Regular Photo Book?
A custom-designed album — not a template — that weaves together the ceremony, reception, and, if you choose, the engagement session into one cohesive story.
Do I Get to Approve My Wedding Album Design Before It’s Printed?
Yes. Gia Photos incorporates your ideas and suggestions throughout the design process, and you give final approval before anything goes to print.
Who Actually Shoots My Wedding at Gia Photos?
Gia Dragoi personally shoots every wedding — over 600 events across 20 years — rather than handing it off to an associate photographer.
