I'm a Bride-to-Be!
A Photographer’s Journey….
If you haven’t heard, the owner of Reflective Souls Photography, Randi Anzevino, is engaged! She will be getting married in September of this year and will be posting some tips n tricks she has discovered along her own wedding planning journey!
“I have always been on the photographer side of weddings; now I’m experiencing the plethora of emotions as the bride-to-be! The joys, the trials, the frustrations – all of it! :) I have come into contact with some incredible resources, though, that I want to share with my other fellow brides-to-be. Follow my journey on our blog today!”
Tip #1 – Finding your dress with the help of a consultant
If you haven’t found your dress yet, go visit Mia at Alfred Angelo on Lake Mead and Rainbow. Oh my goodness, she is amazing!!! I walked in to the shop with no appointment, simply to look and try on – playing up the bride-to-be status, I suppose. :) She picked out a handful of dresses for me, was completely attentive to me and my experience, and I found “the one” in the 4th dress I tried on! On top of that, it was one that SHE picked out for me! She spent the time to hear what I wanted in my dress and took in my body type and what would look good on me. I walked out of there with my dress ordered in less than 2 hours. She is a GEM!!!!!!
Tip #2 – DIY Central, plus a fun & unique tradition!
I have always loved the arts & crafts. I grew up with my mom and I have weekly "scrapbooking dates" and always ended up making my own invitations for parties, gifts for loved ones, etc! So, I am enjoying making my own wedding invitiations, favors and centerpieces! It sure gets my creative juices flowing and it has been such a great time creating our wedding with my fiance. If you want to head down the DIY bride planning, my favorite resources have been www.mydiyweddingday.com, www.diybride.com (this site has a few books by the author and gives you step-by-step instructions on how to make your own everything, including a cost savings calculator!), and walking through Michael's Arts & Crafts store! Michael's has 40-50% off coupons in every Sunday paper, as well as in the "junk mail" we all get, at least once a week! If you are patient and don't mind a weekly trip to Michaels, you can save a ton!
My next idea was one borrowed from a recent bride of mine. While she and her bridesmaids were waiting before the ceremony, all of her girls signed the bottom of the bride's shoes! It was a great time of sending the bride sweet last-minute well wishes and a great keepsake for afterwards. I will be having my bridesmaids sign my shoes! Will you???? :)
If you have any tips and suggestions, please post a comment!
