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.

I am a big fan of this, you can make it as personalized or as simple as you want! Help your bridal party out and make a fun handout for them as well.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!!
On the agenda for SBTN: 2 new client meetings, wedding crafts (spray paint!), venue visit, meeting with my May 19th bride Lindsey, and a DJ meeting. So much to do but I LOVE it all!!!

What a great tip sheet on DIY-ing your wedding! You know I am all about DIY and craft projects! Great ideas here from Something Turquoise

My big tip that I always tell all my brides:

Plan a Girl's Craft Night 

with your bridesmaids and any friends that will help.

Offer some wine, some great snacks and bust out your projects!

(Maybe limit wine to 2 glasses, so they don't get too tipsy=messy projects! Lol)

In a few of my planning packages I lead a craft night, I come up with ideas, tell them what supplies are needed and show them all how to do them.  This way people are involved and you can get a lot done!

Happy DIY-ing!
