Wedding Photography Birmingham : Hints and Tips – Part 1 – the Bride
Wedding Hints and Tips – On the Day
As a wedding photographer, I attend more weddings each year than the average person, and as a result I have learned so many simple things that will help your day run smoothly. These tips are just simple things that I have discovered along the way that you might find useful:
Bridal tips
• When you’re having your hair styled on your wedding day, wear a shirt or a dressing gown. Many brides wear a t-shirt, then struggle to get it over their newly styled hair. If you wear a shirt / dressing gown it can be unbuttoned and will not damage your hairdo.
• If you have a dress that goes over your head, get a pillow case or a silk underskirt to put over your head first. This way your dress will slide on more easily with damaging hair or getting any make-up on it.
• Remove labels on the underside of shoes – this is a very fiddly and time-consuming job that is best sorted in advance of your wedding day and is the last thing you will want people to see as you walk down the isle.
• If your dress has laces or buttons, ask a friend to come and help you dress. Often a bridesmaid or family member will be there for bridal preparations, but it is likely that they may also have false nails for the occasion. If you have a friend present who isn’t in the bridal party they will be able to help the bride to get dressed.
• Dress the bride first. Lots of people dress the bride last so everyone is ready to help, but if plans start to run behind it will be the bride who is in a rush to get dressed. If you dress the bride first she can get ready at her own pace, feel relaxed and have time to make any adjustments to her dress for maximum comfort. It is not the bride’s job to dress the bridesmaids or any children – make sure you have plenty of helpers to do this so that she can enjoy her wedding day. ( there is also a selfish motive here as it enables the photography team to be able to get a few extra shots )
