Favorite Wedding Inspiration

Notice that the ceremony was set with the reception tables. This lead to much simpler logistics between the ceremony and the reception. Let me explain. Typically, in between the ceremony and the reception, either the venue has to have three spaces (one for the ceremony and one for the reception, then a mid-ground for cocktail hour), or staff/coordinators have to “flip” the ceremony space from audience-style chairs to tables and chairs. This couple simply had guests sit at the tables during the ceremony. This really helped with photography and logistics.

Rings: the couple secretly designed rings for each other and neither saw their own ring before the wedding. It was a really cute surprise during the ceremony.

Rehearsal Photographed: in leu of engagement photos (logistics just didn’t work out), they had me cover the rehearsal. It was really fun and I got to pre-set lights and get to know the bridal party and couple and figure out how I could use the space.

Starbucks Gift Cards for Vendors: some couples give tips, some give thank you notes, some don’t do anything at all. NO EXPECTATIONS AT ALL. These two gave gift cards with a cute little note for each vendor. It was such a sweet, thoughtful gesture (that’s where the money is going anyway).
