Wedding Flower Photos - What You Should Know About Flower Arrangements for Wedding Photos
September 5, 2008
When planning your wedding you probably won’t think to plan for flower arrangements for wedding photos. This is typically an afterthought that is often suggested by the photographer, who happens to have some tacky silk arrangements he can “throw in” for a small rental fee. Don’t let this happen to your photos.
Don’t Forget To Plan for Flower Arrangements for Wedding Photos
To avoid having to use the dusty, overused wedding flower arrangements that the photographer has shoved in a closet, plan for your wedding photo flowers ahead of time with your floral designer. Your wedding flower photos should match the theme and color plan for your wedding and the bouquet used in your wedding photos should be very similar to the bouquet you walk down the aisle with.
Wedding Flower Arches - Choosing Flower Arrangements for Wedding Arches
August 25, 2008
On your wedding day you want everything to be beautiful. The flowers are ordered specifically for that purpose, to set the tone for romance and beauty. In the right setting, there is nothing more stunning than a wedding arch adorned with flowers. Flower arrangements for wedding arches don’t have to be excessive to be beautiful, but often excessive is called for, too. The wedding arch flowers need to match the overall theme of the wedding and can be done so by adding flowers directly to the arch or by placing urns of flower arrangements to either side of the arch and even behind the wedding arch.
Types of Wedding Arches
There are several types of wedding arches to choose from, and the one you choose may depend greatly on the location of your wedding. There are some questions you should answer before considering what type of arch to use. Where will you place the wedding arch? Do you want it at the beginning of the aisle for the bride to begin her wedding march, or do you want the arch at the point where the nuptials will be performed? Will the bride and groom be standing directly beneath the arch or will it be placed behind them? Is the wedding going to be indoors or out? If indoors, is there a stage or platform that the wedding will take place on, and how much room is there for an arch? These questions will not only help you to determine which type of arch to use, and how large it should be, but also how much decorating you can do with the arch. If the wedding is outdoors, you can use any type of arch.
The further from your guests the arch will be placed, the larger the arch should be. If you will be standing beneath the arch, it should be large enough so that you are not cramped. The material of the arch doesn’t matter either unless the couple will be close enough to the wedding arch for the wood splinters to catch the gown or the metal to stain it. Be careful about recently painted arches for this reason, too. Read the rest of this entry »
