Wedding Dresses
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. Even flowers can be bought at a discount if you’re not too choosy.
Ask Friends for Ideas !
To ensure that you make it down the aisle with ease, be sure to try on your wedding shoes and wear them for one to two hours – at least twice – before the big day. This is especially important if you are unaccustomed to wearing heels, or if your feet are prone to swelling. It will also help you to decide if you need to add strap or heel cushions to your shoes to prevent blisters.
Having the perfect wedding doesn’t have to be a dream. Use the ideas that were given to you, by friends and family and others that have already been through a wedding, to have a beautiful wedding and to enjoy the big day.
Wedding Dress & Accessories Photos: Frequently Asked Questions
Why is photographing the wedding dress and shoes before the ceremony so important?
Your dress, shoes, jewelry, and veil represent a significant part of your style and preparation. Capturing these details in pristine condition before you put them on creates a complete story of your wedding day in your photo album.
When during the wedding day do you take photos of the gown and accessories?
I photograph these detail shots during the early bridal preparation hours. While hair and makeup are being finished, I collect your gown, shoes, rings, invitation suite, and jewelry to set up styled flat-lay and display photos.
What should I have prepared for these detail shots?
To make the most of our prep time, it helps to gather your gown, shoes, veil, jewelry, perfume, garter, and a wooden or customized hanger together in one place before I arrive.
Where do you hang or display the wedding gown for photos?
I look for clean, well-lit areas with natural light—such as near large windows, elegant archways, or scenic outdoor spots at your preparation venue—to highlight the fabric, lace, and embroidery beautifully.
Do you also capture the moment I put on the dress?
Yes, absolutely! I capture candid, authentic moments of you getting into your dress, having the back zipped or buttoned up by your mother or bridesmaids, and the emotional reveal with your bridal party.
