Your Story Begins in the Dressing Room {Wedding Tips}
Posted on June 12, 2009
The Brides Dressing Room
Many times my coverage starts in the dressing room. It is in here that I capture the anticipation, excitement and teary eyes before the bride walks down the isle. I get the details, those little things that seem so little but mean so much. From mom clasping granny’s bracelet around the brides wrist, to the placing of the veil by her best friend. These are moments that you will want to remember. So make these moments seem classic and timeless by using my suggestions for the dressing room. This room plays a huge part in your story.
My Suggestions:
Find a room with plenty of natural light. Natural light is flattering and it also gives more of a romantic feel.
Room to move. With 6 girls, moms, grandmas, and the photographers, there needs to be plenty of room.
Keep the trash minimal. Have dresses out of plastic and hanging, shoes out of the boxes and flowers placed in glass jars or vases. We know that a lot of times lunch is had while getting ready, but please try and keep it a bit tidy. It’s important to try and have a place for everything. You don’t want a precious picture of grandma tearing up as she first sees you next to a table full of subway wrappers.
Limit your guests access. It’s always tempting for guests to want to see the bride before she heads down the isle. Look for a location that isn’t right next to the entrance. This can be distracting and it also takes away from your moment of all eyes on the bride. Think WOW factor!
It’s your day, do it your way!
