5 Things to Make Your Wedding Cooler // Wedding Tips // Edmonton Wedding Photographer
Weddings are affairs of love; they are affairs of beauty and they are affairs of wonder. As a wedding photographer based in Edmonton, I have had a chance to attend several weddings that had some very neat ideas included as part of the day! These things added a light touch of emotion with beauty to the entire day and I have compiled a list of my top 5 things that you can add to your wedding day to make it even cooler!
- Write a Letter!
You are marrying the love of your life and I am sure you will have something to say before the wedding ceremony. Put it down in a hand written letter with a nice envelope and have it delivered to your significant other by the bridesmaids/groomsman. They will appreciate the touch and love you all the more for it! Beware, they may have written a letter to you as well!
- Unplugged wedding!
Imagine a world without phones? Ohk, that might be a stretch but you sure can have a wedding without cellphones! An unplugged wedding is one where you ask guests to put away all digital devices for the duration of the ceremony and that way your guests can enjoy the wedding ceremony with you! This also ensures that uncle bob doesn’t block the photographer from getting the right shot!
- Wedding Day Survival Kit!
Wedding can be crazy and trust me that is not an understatement! I once photographed a wedding where we had -31 degree weather and we were photographing outdoors on top of a frozen lake! It was cold and that is an understatement. So one of the coolest things you can do for yourself is, making a wedding survival kit! It should include things like breath mints, deodorant, blotting paper, fragrance, and stain remover but honestly it can include anything that you want to include (my personal favorite is a pack of Ferraro rochers!). Another example of a great Wedding Day Emergency Kit can be found by here!
- Make Sure you dance!
One of the most fun and interesting parts of the day is the reception open floor. This is when everyone lets their hair down and has a good time. So many times, people will forget that they are supposed to be having fun at their own wedding. Do just that, let the music take control, dance the night away as this will be one of the most memorable days of your life!
- Have a reception slideshow!
You know those cheesy slideshows with baby pictures? They are sweet but they are outdated. You can instead select the right photographer and get them to prepare a slideshow of the photos from earlier during the day. Box Cube Photography provides exactly a service like that where we prepare a slideshow for you from the photos that we take during the getting ready part of the day, the ceremony and the bridal party photos. This slideshow is then shown during the reception thus giving you a chance to enjoy your wedding photos on the day of your wedding with your guests. Expect water works though!
