There Are Lots Of Different Sources To Search For Photographers. Here Are Some Examples. *wedding Blogs *asking A Friend Who Got Married Recently About Her Photographers' Contact Details. (sometimes They Are Not Willing To Share It) *google And Social Media Search (it May Take A Long Time) *online Service Providers Where You Can Post Your Project & Budget And Have Professionals Bid For It. (avoid Posting Too Low Of A Budget). Remember You Are Paying For Photographer’s Experience And Expertise. Weddings Are Once In A Lifetime Events, With Too Low Of A Budget You Will Not Reach The Photographers With The Proper Skill. *stay Away From “one Stop Shop” Wedding Vendors, Like Entertainment Companies Who Also Provide Catering, Photography But Don’t Give You Photographer’s Info. *the Same Thing Is True With Large Studios That Contract Out Weddings (i Cannot Stress This Enough!) Always Have A Direct Relationship With Your Photographer Before The Wedding. At The End Of The Day, The Most Important Thing Is Finding The Photographer You Click With. Chances Are You Are Going To Spend More Time With Your Wedding Photographer Than With Your Maid Of Honor On Your Wedding Day, So You Want To Make Sure You Like Them. Always Be Sure To At Least Interview Several Photographers. Whatever The Search Method You Choose, Narrow Down Photographers Whose Work You Like, And Also Whose Philosophy That Resonates With You. It Is Important To Set Up An In-person Meeting Or A Phone Call, Facetime Or A Skype Session. Then You Can Determine If You Like Them.

You’ve Planned Every Detail Of Your Wedding Including Found Your Something Old, New And Blue. You’ve Even Mastered Your Makeup And Hair Look And Nailed Down What Your Bridesmaids Look Will Be Like. Diva? It’s Ok - And Guess What, Its Your Day! The Last Thing You Want For You (and Your Bridesmaids) Is Something So Easy And Simple To Do …. Is A Spray Tan Mishap Such As The Bronzers Transferring Off On Your Beautiful White Dress And Of Course That Dreaded Cheetah Orange Hue That You Will Forever Be Haunted With In Your Forever Pictures.as A Wedding Makeup Artist, I See Hundreds Of Sunless Tans Gone Bad On A Weekly Basis —- Whether It’s From A Bad Spray Tan Or Selecting The Wrong Self Tanner. So I Know Your Struggles And We Want To Help You Get The Perfect Glow. we Know Wearing White Can Be Daunting So You Are Probably Going To Want To Get Your Faux Glow On And So We Have Collaborated Our Best Tips For Brides To You Can Be Sure You Are Looking Your Best And Have No Worries About The Overall Finish. Once You Have Learned The Abcs Of Sunless Tanning (spray Tans And Self Tanners) You Will Be A Pro And Will Never Regret Learning The Inside Scoop.1. when Is The Perfect Time To Get Your Spray Tan?  we Suggest Getting A Fresh Spray Tan At Least 48hours Prior To Your Wedding So You Will Have Two Showers To Wash Off The Bronzers Prior To Wearing Your Wedding Dress. By Day One, Your Tan Has Already Started To Settle Into The Skin And You Are Encouraged To Follow The Aftercare Instructions To Keep That Flawless Glow. You Also Have Time To Be Sure It Looks Great Everywhere And Be Sure Hands And Feet Didn’t Absorb Too Much Of The Tan. And If, God Forbid It Isn’t Right...you Have Time To Get It Fixed Or Touched Up. 2. is There Any Chance It Will Get On My Dress? Not Usually As Long As You Have Had A Chance To Shower Twice Between The Time You Received Your Spray Tan (or Applied Self Tanner) And When You Put On Your Wedding Dress.3.  white Is An Extreme Color To Wear With A Tan. How Should You Pick What Shade To Tan With? You Want To Have A Consultation With Your Spray Tanner And Talk About Factors That Would Help Her Choose The Spray Tan (and You Can Use These Tips When Selecting A Self Tanner). You Want To Look At Your Current Base Color, Hair Color, Time Of Year You Are Getting Married, Color Of Dress, Etc. We Don’t Suggest Tanning More Than Two Shades Darker Than Your Current Natural Skin Tone Because It Will Look More “fake”. You Also Want To Research What Undertones Would Look Best For You - Spray Tans And Self Tanners Can Vary In Undertones: Green, Red, Caramel, Violet, Etc. Each Of These Will Give You A Different Finish. We Suggest You Start One Month Prior To Wedding And Book A Trial Spray Tan So You Can Feel More Confident In Selecting The Tan That Looks Best On You. 4.  what Should You Look For In A Tanning Salon Or Self Tanner? Choose A Place That Doesn’t Use The Same Color Shade For Everyone. That Is A Really Bad Sign, A Really Bad Sign. And Find Out What Spray Tan Formula Including Undertones They Use. Most Salons Carry Their Recommended Self Tanners So These Questions Would Apply To Selecting The Right One Too.    5. What If I Wanted To Look Darker In My Tan But I Am Nervous If The Initial Spray Tan May Be Too Dark And Come Off Looking Too Orange? we Recommend A “double Dip” Technique With Your Spray Tan Or Self Tanner. What This Means Is You Will Book An Initial Spray Tan 4-5  days Prior To Wedding Day And Ask For The Lightest Formula So It Will Have 48hrs To Settle In And Provide A Beautiful Base Tan. Be Sure To Follow The Aftercare So You Will Protect And Moisture Your Skin Properly. Next You’ll Book Your Wedding Day Tan (part Two) For 48hrs Prior To Wedding And Spray Tan Either Same Shade (to Darken  1-2 Shades Darker) Or One Next Shade Darker (to Darken 2-3 Shades Darker).

Your Honeymoon Is A Once-in-a-lifetime Adventure. It’s The First Time You Will Travel As A Married Couple And It’s The Way You Start Off Your Marriage. Now Is Not The Time To Cut Corners But, After All The Expenses Involved In The Wedding, It Can Be Very Tempting To Skimp On Your Honeymoon To Save A Few Dollars. Sure, You’d Love To Have The Honeymoon You’ve Imagined In Your Daydreams (or Seen In Bridal Magazines), But You Just Don’t Think You Can Swing It. I Beg To Differ. Here Are Three Easy Ways To Afford The Honeymoon You’ve Always Wanted: Set Up A Payment Plan. Most Destinations And Cruise Lines Allow You To Confirm Your Honeymoon With Just A Small Deposit And Then Make Payments Over Time. Get Your Honeymoon On The Books Early And You Will Have A Long Time To Pay In Full. Start A Registry. You Don’t Really Need New Towels, Do You? Instead Of Registering For Gifts, Have Your Guests Contribute To Your Honeymoon Instead! (ask Me How We Can Set Up A Dedicated Honeymoon Registry For You!) Skip The Starbucks. Bear With Me Here. If You And Your Fiance Each Purchase One Starbucks Drink Every Work Day At An Average Of $5 Per Drink, That’s $50 Per Week. Multiply That By 52 Weeks Per Year And You’ve Spent $2600 For Coffee! Make Your Coffee At Home And Put Those Funds Toward Your Honeymoon Payment Plan Instead And Your Dream Honeymoon Is In Reach! So, Yes, Virginia (and Maryland, Oklahoma, Florida…) You Can Afford Your Dream Honeymoon Without Having To Steal Any Funds From Your Fantasy Wedding. Contact Me Today At Christine@moderntravelpros.com Or 757-797-8747 (voice Or Text) And Let’s Get This Honeymoon On The Books! (there Might Even Be A Few Extra Honeymoon Perks Involved To Make Your Trip Even More Special)

Something To Sip Having Something Set Out For Your Guests To Drink During Your Ceremony Keeps Them Comfortable.

For Example, We Will Switch Summer Trends Like Open Sandals And Cheerful, Vibrant Colors With The More Neutral And Darker Shades.

If You're Not Sure Which Dresses To Pick For Your Bridesmaids, Check Below For Our Suggestions.darker Colors When Choosing A Dress For Autumn Wedding, We Always Suggest Picking Up Darker And Neutral Shades.

#bouquetbreakdown - The Liberty We're Back For Another #bouquetbreakdown And This Bouquet Gives Us All The Patriotic Vibes. From The Deep Reds To The Bright Whites And Pastel Blues This Bouquet Screams America. No Matter The Season This Bouquet Is Always Going To Pop. So Why Do We Loveeeee This Bouquet? Well, We Are Very Patriotic And Very Much Love Our Country But We Also Love The Bright Colors. It Is Not Often We Get To Use Such Bold Colors In Wedding Work. When Our Bride, Sarah, Was Needing A Color Palette Redesign We Were Ecstatic To Offer The Red, White, And Bloom Palette. She Surprised Her Now-husband With The Flowers And He Loved Them So Much He Had Them Preserved For Her After Their Intimate Wedding. So Let's Break It Down! We Have Categorized The Blooms By Color This Time And We're Starting Off With That Bold Pop Of Red! Red Spray Roses: These Bright Red Spray Roses Were The Main Blooms For Our Pop Of Red. Spray Roses Are A Great All-purpose Flower And Just Like Ranunculus Come In A Rainbow Of Colors. Spray Roses Are Available Year-round And We Give Them A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Red Mini Gerbera Daisies: These Red Mini Gerbera Daisies Were Our Supporting Actress In The Red Category. They Have A Very Different Bloom Structure Than The Red Spray Roses And Therefore Gave A Nice Definition To The Red Category In Our Color Palette. Mini Gerbera Daisies Are Available Year-round And We Give Them A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Red Astible: We Love Using This Fluffy Red Astible In Bouquets. We Find That Adding In Even The Smallest Amount Gives The Bouquet So Much More Dimension. Astible Is A Line Flower Which Means It Blooms Vertically Instead Of In One Round Ball. Some Of Our Other Favorite Line Flowers In Delphinium, Stock, Veronica, Liatris, And Snapdragons. Astible Is Available Year-round And Come In A Variety Of Colors From White, Blush, Pink, Red, And Burgundy. We Give Astible A $$$ Our Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. White Anemones: Anemones Are Another Unique Blooming Flower. They Don't Have Any Great Dupes Which Makes Them Highly Sought After. Their Dark Black Centers Can Throw Off A Navy Tone In Some Varieties. Anemones Are Also Available In A Wide Variety Of Colors Such As White, Red, Blue, Purple, Pink And Even A Beautiful Burgundy Wine Color. They Are A Very Delicate Flower With Tissue Paper-thin Petals. They Are Often Placed Last Into A Bouquet. Anemones Are Available Year-round And Much Like Ranunculus We Give Them $$$$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. White Lysimachia: A New Face To The Bouquet Breakdown! Lysimachia Is A Fun New Mini Line Flower. We Love It Because Each Individual Bloom Is Star-shaped. We Know, We Know A Little Cliché For The Red, White, And Bloom Pallet But We Couldn't Help Ourselves. These Blooms Very Much Remind Us Of A More Plump Veronica. Lysimachia Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. White Stock: Stock Is A Fairly Fragrant Flower That Reminds Us Of A Spice Smell, Almost Clove-like. They Are Made Up Of Little Clusters Of Ruffled Petals That Grow Upwards Towards A Small Spiked Top. They Can Be Purchased Year-round And Come In A Huge Variety Of Colors. We Give Stock A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Blue Thistle: Blue Thistle Another Bouquet Breakdown Classic. When You're Thinking You Still Need Something Blue For Your Day, This Is Almost Always Our Go-to. Thistle Comes In A Variety Of Colors And Some Of Our Other Favorite Colors Include Green, White Glitter, And Purple. Blue Thistle Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Blue Delphinium: Another New Face To Our Bouquet Breakdowns. Delphiniums Are A Wonderful Flower To Add A Pop Of Blue. There Are Very Few Naturally True Blue Flowers And Delphinium Is One Of The Best In Our Opinion. They Can Range From Light To Dark Blue And Come In Both A Regular And Hybrid Form. For This Bouquet, We Chose The Standard Form To Give The Bouquet A Lighter More Whimsical Vibe. The Hybrid Version Is Often Much Larger With Thick Stems And Near 100 Individual Blooms. Delphinium Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$-$$$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Dusty Miller: This Fun Pop Of Bright Silver Foliage Is A Great Addition To Any Bouquet. The Soft Silvery Leaves Help Bring Out The Light And Bright Silver Tone Of The Eucalyptus. It Is Typically Grown As An Annual In Our Area And Not Many People Think To Add It To Their Bouquet. One Thing To Note About Dusty Miller Is That It Is A Very Water Thirsty Foliage. It Can Often Wilt In The Hot Summer So It Needs To Be Tucked Into Bouquets And Supported By Other Greenery And Blooms. Dusty Miller Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Willow Eucalyptus: Willow Eucalyptus Has Long Beautiful Wispy Leaves. While It Is Not Super Aromatic Like The Baby Blue Eucalyptus It Does Have A Nice Hint Of Eucalyptus Scent. It Is A Wonderful Greenery For Cascading Bouquets As It Has A Nature Drape And Incredible Movement. Willow Eucalyptus Is Available Year-round And Most Often February Through May Can Be Found To Have Seed Pods Like The Seeded Eucalyptus. We Give It A $$$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Seeded Eucalyptus: Like We've Said Before It Hasn't *quite* Outran It's Cousin Silver Dollar Eucapytus But It Is Getting There! We Find The Seeds Give An Amazing Texture To Any Bouquet But Fit Best With Cascading Summer Bouquets Or Fall Weddings. Seeded Eucalyptus Can Be Found Year-round For The Most Part. It Does Go Off Crop In The Early Spring And Some Parts Of The Year Can Have Cupped Seeded Instead Of The Desired Green Seed Pods. We Give Seeded Eucalyptus A $$$ Out Of $$$$$ Rating On Our Expensive Scale. Italian Ruscus: This Greenery Is Great For Adding Height, Weight, And Even Length To A Bouquet. The Deep Green Leaves Are Often A Great Contrast To The Silvery Eucalyptus. The Way The Leaves Are Positioned On The Stems Gives This Greenery A Lighter More Airy Look. It Is Available Year-round And We Give It A $$ Out Of $$$$$ On The Expensive Scale. Would You Consider The Red, White, And Bloom Palette For Your Wedding?! We Hope So!

We Can Think Of Tons Of Reasons Why Couples Should Hire A Professional Wedding Planner, But Here Are Our Top Ten.1. Having A Professional Problem Solver On Hand Helps You Enjoy Your Day What Happens If The Rental Company Forgets The Napkins, Or If The Amount Of Specialty Chairs Is Not Correct At The Time Of Delivery, Or If The Strap On A Bridesmaids Dress Falls Off, Or If The Wrong Flowers Are Delivered? We’ve Got You. 2. We, Will, Refer “tried And True” Wedding Pros Who Are Best Suited To Your Budget, Theme And Personalities A Successful Wedding Is Built With A Great Team Who Listen, Respect And Execute What They Are Supposed To. They Know How To Play Nicely, And Go Above And Beyond For Their Clients…you. We Have Worked With A Lot Of Wedding Pros Over The Years, And Feel That We Can Make Suggestions That Ensure The Team Referred By Us Will Have Your Best Interests At Heart. We Will Negotiate And Communicate With The Wedding Team Leading Up To, And On The Wedding Day. 3. We Will Help Keep You Organized It’s Kind Of Our Thing, And Truly One Of The Things That We Do Best. We Create A Personalized Monthly Checklist Just For You. Each Month You Will Have New Tasks To Dive Into. This Helps Keep The Feeling Of Overwhelm At Bay. We Will Remind You When Payments Are Due, And When Things Need To Be Ordered Or Purchased, Etc. 4. Timeline Creation And Execution Wedding Planners Need A Timeline For The Day’s Events, But We Also Need A Specific Production Schedule For The Flow Of The Day And Knowing Who Is Responsible For What And When. We Need To Know Where And When Vendors Are Supposed To Load In/out, What Needs To Be Set Up Where And How Long Everyone Has To Do It, When The Ceremony Begins, Ensuring Power Outlets Are Nearby If Needed, Ensuring The Musicians, Or Dj, Are Out Of The Sun For Their Equipment And In Case Of Sunstroke, Knowing When You Are Supposed To Walk Down The Aisle, The Proper Order Of The Wedding Party For The Processional/recessional, Ensuring There Is A Pen For The Registrar Signing, Making Sure Someone Takes The Take Away Portion Of The Marriage License, Setting Up Seating Cards, Lighting Candle Votives, Folding Napkins, Putting Out The Menus, Etc.). We Will Communicate This Schedule With Everyone Who Is A Part Of The Professional Wedding Team. Your Wedding Timeline Needs To Have Some Room For Error And Some Flexibility For Circumstances Beyond Our Control. If Something Does Get Off Schedule, We Will Determine Where To Switch Things Up To The Best Of Our Ability, Hopefully Without Any Of Your Guests Noticing. 5. Budget Everyone Has One No Matter What The Numbers Are. We Will Help Guide You, And Ensure That You Are Making Informed Decisions When Increasing, Or Taking Items Out Of Your Overall Budget. While We Cannot Make The Final Decision For You, We Will Let You Know If You Are Going Way Out Of Your Comfort Zone And Remind You Of Where It’s At. 6. Ceremony Direction (if Not At A Place Of Worship) If The Ceremony Will Not Be Taking Place At A Church Than Chances Are, We Will Be Leading The Rehearsal. Where Will Everyone Stand? Who Has The Rings? Who Goes Down The Aisle First For The Processional And Recessional? What Side Should The Bride Stand On? Who’s Cueing The Wedding Party? 7. Wedding Day Items Do You Really Want Your Family Or Friends Running Around On The Wedding Day Setting Up The Seating Cards, Menus, Guest Signing Book, Checking That The Linens And Glassware Are Stain-free? Who’s Ensuring That The Chairs Are Lined Up, Votives Are Lit For The Guests’ Arrival, And Catering Staff Are Reminded Who Is Sitting Where For Allergies And Food Restrictions? A Last-minute High Chair Is Needed? Hmmm…see Where I Am Going With This? 8. “helpful” Family & Friends Are Causing Tension And Unnecessary Stress Move Over And Let A Professional Handle Things From Here On Out. 99% Of The Time, Those Helpful Family & Friends Only Have Your Best Interests In Mind. However, Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen Is A Recipe For Disaster. We Can Help Alleviate The Emotional Drama That Comes Along With Planning A Wedding, As We Are Not Involved In The Family Drama And Emotional Decisions, As We Do This As A Career. We Can Offer Solutions And Suggestions That Will Benefit Everyone Involved, And Help Get Things Back On Track Before Relationships Are Forever Changed. We Don’t Mind Being The Bad Guy And Taking Charge When Needed/wanted By You And Your Partner. After All, This Wedding Is For You And Ultimately That’s Who Gets To Make The Final Decisions, Right? 9. Removing A Tip Jar From The Bar Oh, Yes, We Went There. We See The Contracts. We Know That The Staff Are Already Paid Gratuity. It Is Not The Guests’ Job To Be Paying The Bartenders. This Is A Wedding, Not A Corporate Event. 10. We Keep Speeches And The Timeline On Track Speeches, Oh Speeches, They Can Be The Best Or The Worst Part Of A Wedding Reception. We Recommend Keeping The Speeches 3-5 Minutes Each. P.s. Parents Don’t Count For Speech Time Patrol. You Are Their Babies. P.p. S. We Strongly Advise Against Having An Open Mike As This Almost Never Goes Over Well. 11. Also, All Vendors Have A Copy Of The Timeline And Have Acknowledged That It Has Been Reviewed The Week Before The Wedding. As Much As We Prepare, There Will Always Be Things That Go Awry, But We Will Try Our Best To Get It Back On Track Or Shuffle Things Around Seamlessly, So No One Is The Wiser. Oh, No! We Had To Make 11.12. Help You To Go Pee In Your Wedding Dress (because Now The Bridesmaids Are On The Dance Floor Enjoying Their Evening). Oops! That Was 12. #stuffjustgotreal
