Hidden Treasures
The best part about wearing a big beautiful full puffy wedding dress is that anything fantastic could be hiding under there...
One For The Photo Album
In my research for wedding photographers I'm starting to get a sense for things I like and don't like about a photographer and what makes a good photographer stand out. I'm also starting to see a trend in some of the standard photos taken. Like a Wedding Photography 101 formula. A shot of the place setting, a shot of the Bride's shoes, the back of the couple at the altar and so on. Here are a few rules I'm making up front for our photographer.
#1 - No wedding party jumping shots:
Why are they jumping? Is it their graduation/wedding day? Are they doing it for a Klondike Bar? Is the ground really hot? See where I'm going with this people? It's unnecessary and looks silly. Even worse, everyone looks dishevelled after the jump shots.
#2 - No picking up of the Bride or Groom:
Again, why do photographers want to keep people off the ground? Poor Antonio doesn't need to be throwing his back out on his wedding day.
#3 - No odd location shots:

Merry-go-round
Swing set
Movie theater
Creepy train station
Speedboat
Shower
Spaceship
#4 - Running shots:
These photos to me seem to be documenting the wedding party running late, rushing to get somewhere and/or running from something. I don't want to look back at these photos when Antonio and I are 102 and think... "Did I not plan properly? Why are we running, Tony C? Did Godzilla take over the city on our wedding day?"
That being said, here are a few shots I find totally acceptable.
Me spinning in my dress
Me with some bunnies
Me with a giant bouquet of balloons in Central Park
Me on a swing in the forest
Me on the Oscar De La Renta runway
TOTALLY acceptable.

Over DeDe's Dead Body
I'm going to include a fun section on this blog that will be pictures and ideas of things that will happen in my wedding over my Mother DeDe's dead body. Well, start with this....
Nothing kicks off a lifelong romantic and solid marriage like a good old fashioned keg stand. We're all traditional ladies here.

Tacky Fun
So, I thought instead of the Bride's Maids holding bouquets they could have wrist corsages. That way they would be hands free and not have to worry about schlepping them around.
What? Painted blue carnations with a spray of babies breath is a no go?
Do you think my girls would kill me if I made them wear these?
