Having a great photographer is all in the details. Make sure to find someone who knows how to take pictures of everything from the rings to the guests.

Choosing different shades of red roses adds depth and beauty to any floral arrangement.

The Groomsmen

Ceremony Programs

The Ceremony

Outdoor weddings are my favorite. This venue looks like perfection. Remember to always have a back up plan in case the weather doesn't go as planned.

The Place Cards

Grand Entrance

"My favorite part of my wedding was our grand entrance into the reception. At the very last minute we decided that he would lift me up onto his back and we would run in. All the guests were talking about how surprised they were. It was so fun just to let go with my husband and go crazy in my big white gown! It was the perfect start to an even more perfect night." -The Bride

JOLIE & ANTHONY'S WEDDING

The Invitations

“I think what I tried to capture with my wedding was a mixture of my personality, sophisticated yet fun.  I tried to keep that theme going as much as possible throughout all the details.” –The Bride

The Wedding Dress

The Shoes

The Bride and Groom

Taking pictures off site from the wedding gives you unique photos that no one else will have. Choose a fun background like this rustic barn for one of a kind pictures.

The Rings

The Flowers

Gerbera daises and roses made up the beautiful bouquets.

The Bridesmaids

The bridesmaids wore short, black, empire waist dresses. Empire waist dresses are flattering on all figures, and these little black dresses really can be worn again.

The Groomsmen

“I was very lucky to have a photographer who wasn't afraid of taking non-traditional wedding photos. I knew I didn't want just pictures where we were standing in a line looking pretty. I wanted creativity and that's what she gave me.” –The Bride

The Flower Girls

The Ceremony

Most brides don't think about the venues when picking out her dress. If your wedding is at an elaborate location, make sure the dress is just as elaborate. No bride wants to be outdone by the venue. Jolie's full skirted ball gown is a perfect fit for this ornate back drop.

The Table Settings

Having a mirror as part of the centerpiece is a classy way to add a little shine to the table. Remember that you don't need tons of glitter and sparkles to make something glamorous.

The Reception

A great way to add your color story to the venue is to use colored lights facing the walls. You can see the fuchsia lights illuminating the walls in the photo above. This really adds to the ambiance.

LAURA & BEN'S WEDDING

The Invitations

"The invitations are one of my favorite details from the wedding because they were completely DIY. I used scrapbook paper for everything, and ribbon to tie them. I used the same paper for the ceremony program so it tied together my theme." -The Bride

The Bouquet

Helpful Tip from the Bride: Make sure to get a copyright release from the photographer so that you own the rights to your wedding photos and can use them however you like.

The Bride and Groom

Great photography is a must on the big day. Make sure to take the time to get those perfect shots like the one seen above.

The Bridesmaids

Choosing full length bridesmaids dresses is a smart choice when the bride has on an elaborate or full skirted gown. These dresses compliment each other perfectly.

The Groomsmen

The Guest Book

"Instead of a guestbook, I left a piece of scrapbook paper for the guests at each table to sign, and left a spot for a picture. After the wedding, I inserted a picture of the guests at that table and put the pages into a scrapbook I made. It's wonderful to be able to look back at the pictures of my guests and all of their comments right besides their picture." - The Bride

The Reception

Make sure to keep your theme in mind when choosing the venue. This venue is truly sophisticated and elegant which flows with the rest of the wedding.

The Cake

The Favors

"I also made the favors. I melted chocolate and put it into mini muffin cups. I put a caramel candy in the middle of each one.Then I wrapped them in tulle circles, tied it with a ribbon, and printed the tags with nice card stock." -The Bride

PICKING A CAKE

Traditional

If you are a traditional bride who likes a white dress, a lot of flowers, bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. then this is the cake for you. The traditional cake is white, round, tiered, and has flowers as accents.

Simple

For the bride who doesn't like a lot of glitter and ruffles, the simple cake is perfect. It's clean, simple, and modest.

Feminine

For the girly girl bride who likes glitter, ruffles, bows, and lots of pink a feminine cake is perfect. 

Masculine

For a less girly look, go for a masculine cake. Generally these are chocolate with minimal decorations. This cake looks rich and delicious.

Architectural

For those who appreciate a wonderfully thought out design, this is perfect. It not only looks cool, but it makes you think and is a wonderful conversation piece.

Modern

For those who are not at all traditional and like clean lines, this is a brilliant choice. Choose something artsy and simple.

Themed

To match a themed party, have a themed cake like this fall inspired cake.

Over the Top

This is perfect for the bride who wants the biggest, most talked about, expensive wedding. The saying "less is more" does not exist.

Miniature

Miniature cakes are extremely cute. Each guest gets his or her own mini cake.

Bite Sized

Bite sized cake pops are perfect for a quick and cute treat. These are easy to pass out at the reception and aren't too filling.

WEDDING FINGER FOOD

Planning appetizers for your wedding can sound daunting but it's not all that hard. Caterers will offer an array of appetizers to try. If you are a DIY bride then you can certainly do it yourself. Here are some easy examples that don't take too long to create and won't break the bank.

Stuffed Mushrooms

Sliders

Shrimp Bites

Caprese Salad

Bacon Wrapped Scallop

Smoked Salmon Bites
