Give Me Three... wedding ideas
3
items There are so many ideas to make a wedding special. These three will bring smiles, time, and memories.
The “first look” before the wedding is a special moment between the couple. We may love to see the pictures and videos, but this moment is not for anyone else.
The pressure of knowing there is a picture or video expectation can take away from the actual emotion.
Once they are both ready, they meet in a private room or area. Prepare ahead of time with someone in the wedding party to help with this part. Decide who will go in first and get set. Then, the other will come in - without a photographer.
This lets the couple have a few minutes to breathe and let some of the nerves go away. After a chaotic morning of preparing, this is the calming moment for them to connect.

First Look
The wedding rehearsal can be lots of fun and the meal after is special with the best of friends and family.
Instead of a rehearsal dinner, how about a rehearsal brunch?
Most churches and venues are thrilled to have a morning rehearsal instead of evening.
Brunch is typically less expensive as a meal if you are trying to same some money.
Imagine the enjoyment of a mimosa bar or omelette station.
The evening is then open for relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.
Everyone can get a good night’s sleep!

Rehearsal Brunch
Grandparents are many times the forgotten members of the family on a wedding day.
Instead of a flower girl (who may need to be coerced down the aisle and start crying), how about a Flower Granny?!
Do you have multiple grandmas between the two of you? The more the merrier - really - they will have a ball together!
Imagine grandma getting to pick out a special dress in your wedding colors. How special she will feel!
Each petal placed down the aisle will have so much more significance to her than to a toddler.
