A wedding favor your guests will actually use: a mini heart-shaped cheese board.

The moment for cake lollipops has passed. Next up: pie pops.

Stir a “hot chocolate on a stick” in a mug full of warm milk until it melts for a sweet, cold-weather treat.

Etched with your (or your guests’) monogram, mason jars can double as centerpiece vessels at a country wedding. Guests then can take an arrangement home and use the jar as a keepsake drinking glass.

These sweets—in flavors like wild strawberry, pineapple, Concord grape, and tangerine—come in handsome apothecary-style jars and taste as good as they look.

Cathedral Length

A cathedral length wedding veil is a floor length veil. This style veil is usually reserved for very formal weddings, usually set in a church. The cathedral veil will usually extend about 6 inches (or more) beyond the train of the wedding dress allowing for a very dramatic look. This wedding veil style works best with semi-cathedral or cathedral length wedding gowns.

Fingertip Length

Measuring in at about thirty-six inches long, the fingertip length wedding veil is a great addition to any full length wedding gown, though it will not work as well with a gown that has a train. The veil will fall right to the bride’s fingertips and is a very elegant look. The fingertip length wedding veil is a popular choice for formal and semi-formal weddings.

Elbow Length

The elbow length wedding veil is about thirty inches long and is the most popular length today. The elbow length veil works very well with wedding gowns without a train and will fall to the bride’s waist. The veil will accentuate and enhance any detailing at the waist and will also compliment a full skirt. Formal and semi-formal weddings are usually where you would find an elbow length veil.

Indoor Window Lighting

If you want to have an indoor shot, warn your photography days in advance. Keeping your wedding photographer well informed will ensure he/she brings the necessary extra lighting equipment.

Avoid direct sunlight streaming into the windows. If you have direct sunlight, keep some curtains at hand that are a little thicker to diffuse it. You can assist your photographer to put light cotton cloth over the outside of the window in order to cut down the direct sun. Or better yet, pick a room location with windows facing north.

Reception Lighting

Think romance! Get creative. Try lots of candles or little Christmas lights placed on and under things. Christmas lights, hanging bulbs, and rope lights all look good in the background especially if you hang them just above head high.

If you are having an outdoor reception, placing your dance floor under a tent will make a world of difference. Your wedding photographer can bounce the flash up into the tent roof, and provide a much more even lighting condition than direct flash. A tent also gives you a structure to hang the small lights in the roof which create a mellow warm background.

Moving Light Concerns

If you hire a DJ who uses moving spot lights, every place the spot light hits will be much brighter than the rest of the area. Due to this rapid moving nature, light becomes near impossible for your photographer to calculate the correct exposure. Translation: this leaves no options for the photographer but to shoot a strong flash to overpower the disco lights, which results in a missing black background.

The solution? Ask the DJ in advance about their lighting setup. Inform them you wish to cut the disco lights at moments notice, or ask them if they could use constant stationary colored lights instead. Lights that throw colors or patterns on the wall or roof are great, but ideally you would not let them hit the crowd directly.
