Getting married on the beach? Have a backup plan

June 2, 2008

We shot a wedding this weekend that was at Seacrets in Ocean City and wow did we dodge a bullet. We missed a major storm by a matter of less than 5 minutes. If we had stayed outside more than 5 minutes longer, we would have been soaking wet.

This made me remember to give all you beach brides a word of advice. No matter what your bridal consultant tells you, no matter what your outdoor venue planner tells you, ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP PLAN. Fortunately, we had rain gear for our cameras so the only thing that would have gotten soaked was us, the bride & groom, the whole wedding party and all the guests.

Also, something else to think about for you people that think getting married on the beach is beautiful and romantic. While that is true, getting to that location can be treacherous — especially for elderly guests. If you’re planning a true “beach” wedding, make sure you take into account any older guests and have a plan for assisting them onto and off the beach.

Bridesmaid Dresses - We need a solution!

May 29, 2008

I was recently reading this article on the high prices of bridesmaid dresses and was wondering what everyone thought. Are bridesmaid dresses overpriced? Have you come up with a reasonable cost solution that you can share with everyone else? I can see the expense associated with a bridal gown — the detail, the lace, the fabric — a lot of time and effort goes into a bridal gown but a bridesmaid dress?

What does everyone think?

Why do you need a wedding video?

January 30, 2007

When you are budgeting for your wedding, where does videography rate? If you’re like most brides today, it’s one of the last things people think about and they only include it “if there’s room in the budget.” Steve Bailey from Memories Forever Video Productions says, “This is unfortunate because a lot of opinions are based on the videos they’ve seen of their friend’s weddings. A lot of friends have video cameras and agree to do it as a favor for the couple and it winds up being unwatchable more than once. Yet, for some reason, most of those same friends have still cameras and yet they wouldn’t even imagine having their friends be their wedding photographer.”

January 24, 2007

When planning your gift registries, here’s what local wedding consultant “Distinctive Wedding Designs” has to say:

• Although you may be influenced by trendy items, try to remember that special items like place settings for your table will last a lifetime. Just make your selection broad enough to cover a price range for all budgets.
• Before registering at a particular store, consider if its’ location is convenient for most guests or if it has a computer link to other stores.
• Communicate your registry information to family, friends, and business associates.
• Decide how you are going to keep track of the wedding gifts you receive. Most registries offer assistance in cataloging gifts received and maintain this information for several years after the wedding.
