Tips for My Brides #4: Boutonniere Photography

I will be one of the first to admit that planning a wedding is a LOT of work. A LOT of wedding details to plan (that's why I have a job, right?!).

So with all of the many details you have to think about, a lot of the little things get overlooked. Like a photo of the boutonnieres or bouquets by themselves.

This is one of my fave shots that I tell all of my brides to make sure that the photographers get this. Just because it is so darn cute. You pay for the boutonnieres (and some of you make them!) so why not show them off, so that you can remember how cute they were?

All you need is a fun background to lay them on. That's it!

Some can even take it one step further and add in tags for them. LOVE this little detail. LOVE.

~Succulents LOVE~

Ok if you have been looking at any wedding website, on Pinterest, you have been seeing 

succulents

ALL over the place!

Well here are some more amazing succulent ideas/photos

. . .
Now first, what is a succulent?

"Succulent plants, also known as succulents or fat plants, are water-retaining plants adapted to aridclimates or soil conditions. Succulent plants store water in their leaves, stems, and also in roots."

(Wikipedia)

Not to be confused with cactus; cacti are succulents but not all succulents are cacti. 

A few fun ideas on succulents and your wedding:
