Wedding Tips

The Must Have wedding photo

During your wedding day I highly recommend for you to allow at least a mini 15 minutes sessions right before sunset. That is the time we can get together beautiful colors, skin tones, and sky. Trust me you will love those photos !
Also once it gets dark lets get a 15 min session together to do some silhouette in the night.


How To Prepare For An Engagement Shoot

You are engaged now and awaiting your big day with full of excitement and enthusiasm. Now is the time for an engagement shoot where you will spend some great, nostalgic moments with the love of your life; it is the time to capture and bring alive your feelings and sensations. So how do you think you need to go about for the session? Here are some valuable tips:
  • Outfit
Make sure to look your best with the right kind of outfit; the dress you choose for your engagement photography must fit perfect and sync with your personality. Selection of the outfit also depends upon the season, temperature and your style. You can seek suggestions from your engagement photographer who knows best. Look cool with balanced colors; wear minimal jewelry. Remember you must look good as a couple!
  • Kiss
Just ignore those around you and get set for one of a kind kiss. Talk about your first meet and emotionally connect to your partner. There are different ways to kiss to express your love and concern; it is just that you need to feel and connect with the moment. While kissing the forehead shows that you care, kissing the cheek is endearing. You can also express your passion by kissing the neck or hand.
  • Style of photo
Do you want to keep it low-key or have a blasting engagement shoot?
You can buy some props that suit your style and choose a lovely backdrop for an extraordinary photography or just get some photos walking together hand-in-hand past your city's huge structures. Whatever be your style, ensure to rest well the day before the shoot to look fresh and energetic!

Attention, brides to be!

Choosing the right dress requires an introspection of not only your personal aesthetic preferences, but also your unique personality traits. Your body type and silhouette curves add in as a factor too. It is therefore advisable that before you go out shopping for your bridal dress in absolute haste, sit down to analyse your tastes and likes, and see if any of those align with the predicted bridal dress trends of 2019. Once that is taken care of, continue reading to find out the hot trends that will dominate 2019’s bridal wedding dress landscape:
​
  • The Minimalistic Chic
​Somebody rightly said-“Simplicity is a manifestation of inner elegance”- and that of the highest order. Gone are the days when off shoulder, clavicle displaying wedding gowns were the rule of law. The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle established herself as the trendsetter of bridal gown high-fashion with her simple and minimalistic Givenchy gown.
  • The Dramatic Train
​If you are the kind to make your statements loud and clear, then long dramatic trains could be perfect for you.  Combine those with sheer veils partially screening your shoulders and arms for added effect and you can be sure of being the most talked about bride in town ( for her wedding dress, of course).
  • Crop – top cuts
​Shall we get a bit experimental here? Here’s the rise of downtown fashion in mainstream bridal wear. Pair a crop top with sleek pants to look fashion forward at your wedding; or if you are too conservative for that, simply wear it at the after – party to allow yourself the ease to dance your heart out.
  • Billowy sleeves
​Let your sleeves demand the most attention with their sheer gossamer fabric, embellished and embroidered with billowed ends while your dress shall remain a clung-to-the-frame simple gown as discussed previously.  

Groom style trends for 2019/2020

Hopefully, you must already know that there can be nothing more lovely about a wedding than a handsome groom suited up perfectly for the occasion. No matter what your personal style on most days otherwise, you can always fuse traditionalism with a dash of your personality. Or on the other hand, turn traditional wedding suit styles completely on their head to create a trend you can call completely your own. Whatever the case be, you must remember to suit up to be your most crisp, sharp and handsome version for your wedding. Here are a few styling tips that we predict will be the order of the day in 2019 and beyond:
  • Brogues
​It is high time that the use of trainers for weddings be done and dusted away with. While trainers may be the flag-bearers of at leisure fashion, nothing speaks masculinity louder than a pair of good quality tanned Brogues.   They are cut to perfection and look their part of shoes meant for a serious occasion.  If you are a groom who is keen on maintaining a certain wedding decorum, go and buy a pair of high-end Brogues right away!
  • The Three Piece Suit
​There is a reason why this suiting style has existed for grooms since millennia. The three piece suit offers comfort and sharp tastes, while for a more relaxed atmosphere; you can always take off your jacket and roll up the sleeves of your shirt to give off vibes of calmness and easy camaraderie.
  • The checkered suit
​For grooms keen to funk up their suit style while not veering too far away from tradition, the check suit fabric emerges as an excellent option. Moreover, you can choose tweed or maybe a lighter material to tailor your jacket from, in accordance with the average temperatures of your wedding venue.
  • Bold hues
​​For the men of today who do not shy away from displaying the boldness of their personality, bold coloured fabrics can work wonders for their suit choice. While Royal Blue and Deep Purples may be de rigeur for this trend, you may choose brighter blue shades to add in a dash of pop and vibrancy.
