Rocking Your Save the Date Photo Fliers!

 More on Save the Date Fliers

Ideas for cute and creative Save-the-Date fliers are dominating social bookmarks like Imgfave and Pinterest. You can look for hours and still find fresh, unique ideas for sending out notifications to your guests. Ensure that you visit these websites if you’re engaged and excited! Once you pick out your favorite style, you can quickly personalize it to your needs with just a few photographs..

These cutesy little reminders are the first written announcement of your wedding, and they deliver the first impression of your big night - so nailing them is crucial. Make sure the aesthetics and function work in synergy to set the appropriate mood and style for your reception.

Aesthetics

Color, designs, and font should remain consistent through your notifications, invitations, and décor. Ensure that the color and style of your notices match the season and colors of your wedding. If you send out pink fliers, guests will assume that pink is one of your wedding colors. Similarly, if your wedding dress has intricate lace designs, a lacey themed notice would be a cute addition- so consider every fragment of your event.

Function

Your Save-The-Date fliers exist to let your guests know which days you’ll need them available. Most people keep these as keepsakes, instead of actually using them. If your save the date notifications make it easy to mark the calendar right away, the recipient may mark their calendar immediately. A great idea is to give them a photograph of the newly engaged-couple, along with a sticker for their calendar. This gives your guest a keepsake and a quick way to save the date!

Supply Your Wedding Album With Memorable Reception Photos!

Memorable Reception Photos

Your big day has finally arrived. The ceremony went perfect. All the guests are heading over to the reception. The photographer was snapping pictures during the whole thing and, now, the party can start. However, don't forget about how important the reception is in terms of pictures. This is the time where you and your partner are celebrating your new lives together, so the pictures have to relay those feelings of exhilaration and joy. Here are two helpful hints to get the most out of your reception pictures.

First of all, make sure the photographer gets photos of the whole reception. There are definitely special moments between you and your partner that you want to be sure the photographer documents perfectly (for example: the cake cutting, first dance, etc...) However, there is a party going on all around you, and you  most likely won't get to experience it fully due to having to go around greet everyone. So, be sure the photographer gets a lot of pictures of the excitement and fun that not just you and your partner are having, but also those around you.

Secondly, be sure that you get pictures with your guests at the reception. This may sound like a no-brainer, and, sure, this usually happens to some extent as you walk through the crowd and greet your guests. Just be aware of who you definitely want to get a picture with. This can be done candidly, or you can plan it out more, but having arranged pictures with family and friends at the reception can add a lot to your memories of your big day. Be sure you don't miss anyone in the hustle and bustle of the excitement.

This is an important and special event, it's also a stressful day. It's easy to overlook and forget certain things. Just try and remember to think of where the photographer is so that you can be sure he/she documents your wedding the way you want it to be documented. Keeping these two points in mind can help keep the picture-taking aspect on the right track, while still allowing you to enjoy your reception.

Considering Royal Blue For Your Wedding?

 Royal Blue

Royal blue itself is a dramatic color, so if you plan to use it, you want to pair it with something stunning and bright. Compliment the navy blue with the ideal colors to create a stunning and captivating reception. 

Royal blue and silver is one of the best combinations because of their beauty and elegance together. When these hues blend, they create a romantic, nighttime feeling.

Royal blue is often a difficult color to match, so blending different shades of the same color work awesome. Check out this sweet blend from Theperfectpallet.com

If you're having an outdoor or boat themed wedding, then whites and bright yellows are great to pair with navy or royal blue. These preppy colors give off a nautical theme.

You could always go with the traditional red, white, and blue color scheme for the patriotic enthusiast in your life. 

Royal blue gives off a slight hint of purple, which means it blends well with hot pink for an energetic and fun look. These are popular colors so your guests will have no difficulty finding the perfect outfit for your special day!

Regardless of the color you choose to blend with royal blue, the photos and venue will look amazing! Look at some of my favorite shots, featuring royal blue! 

Engagement Party Wedding Photos

From engagement to marriage, there are certain photographs that your wedding album needs. Staged or candid, you want to have the option of visually recalling your wedding, from the very beginning; the time he asked. 

So, what are some of the shots you want? Ideally, a candid photo of the real proposal is amazing. When executed perfectly, you will have a professional photo of the bride's reaction. However, this will not work for every relationship. You are dealing with the element of surprise, so remember, she prepared for a date- not her wedding photo shoot. Some people, regardless of age or gender, prefer to prepare before appearing in everlasting photos. Yet, most of the time, the bride is just so excited that the natural beauty of her happy smile shines above anything else.

Typically, wedding albums do not include engagement photos, as that is a separate entity. However, most collections include a session for these particular photos. If it suits your relationship, try scheduling your wedding photographer for your engagement party. Having a professional capture the excitement of your engagement party, is something you can never duplicate. Moreover, you can meet with your photographer and feel the dynamic of working together- making sure that the wedding photography goes smoothly and comfortably.

You can use the engagement photos for various favors, fliers, and even scrapbooking supplies. The photos make phenomenal gifts and tangibles over the years. Imagine twenty years into the future, your husband gifts you the old photo for an anniversary gift. Happy tears ensue.
