Here is your 21th weekly wedding tip

Don't order a bunch of floral arrangements for
decorating the church or reception hall if you
have family and friends with green thumbs. Either
ask to borrow potted plants to decorate tables or
see who can provide fresh flowers from their
gardens to make impromptu bouquets.

20th weekly wedding tip

For a smaller wedding, consider foregoing formal
bridesmaids bouquets. Instead, visit a wholesale
florist the night before the wedding and tie
together clusters of fresh-cut flowers into
nosegays.

Your 19th weekly wedding tip

Register for gifts at one store that appeals
specifically to your husband - surprise, the
wedding isn't all about the bride! You can now
register at stores like Lowe's and Home Depot.
A groom whose eyes are glazing over as you open
up another blender will perk right up when he
unwraps that power drill or Wide Screen Television!

6.7.08 Wedding Photography

Bride Meghan, right and her sister Katie share a laugh as they drink a beer to cool down from Saturday heat wave while preparing for the big day. I had the pleasure working with Meghan on Saturday at St. Clements Castle in Portland, CT. I have been commissioned to shoot her sister Katie wedding in the fall on 9.27.08.

Your 18th weekly wedding tip:

Seating for your guests is one of the toughest
jobs there is. Ask both mothers to provide you
early on with a list of "do's and "don'ts." For
instance, "Uncle John and Aunt Nancy would enjoy
catching up with the Thompsons, but don't put the
Eriksons and the Linarellis together if possible."
It saves last minute re-arranging.

When you plan the menu for your reception, keep
dieters and those who may be on a restricted diet
in mind. You can't please everyone, but if you
over a salad, a meat, a vegetarian dish and a
carbohydrate such as a pasta dish you should be
well covered.

Next week we advise on how to avoid seating
plans nightmare!

Carolyn & Rajeev Memorial Day Weekend Wedding

I captured this image from last Sunday Memorial Day weekend wedding. Carolyn and Rajeev kissing as a bicycle road race takes place at Bushnell Park in Hartford. The couple embraced many religions under one roof. The wedding ceremonies were in Hindu and Jewish. Their wedding day was truly beautiful!

I captured this beautiful image of two flower girls looking out a stain glass window at St. Clements Castle in Portland, CT from Kelly & Nick's Friday wedding. I really captured some amazing images from their day.

Here is your 16th weekly wedding tip:

If guests are coming in from out of town, be sure
to check to see what other events are going on in
your area that weekend. If there's going to be
an important sporting event or a major convention,
for instance, you'll need to plan early for hotel
rooms (or you may want to reconsider your date!)
