I've known Karli and Brian for years, I was sooo excited for them when I heard they were expecting! Karli of course had the absolute cutest props to work with and don't even get me started on how cute this couple is...
Bride Tips From Dax Photography: Asking For Discounts. I know how expensive weddings can be and fully understand that EVERY bride is on a budget. As a bride you should never be afraid to ask for discounts from your vendors...you never know until you ask and they just might surprise you. One of your best ways to get discounts from vendors is if you have a wedding date that is an off day (i.e. not a Saturday or holiday weekend). If a vendor doesn't have anything booked for a Friday or Sunday they may consider a discount more. Your chances of getting a discount also increase if it's later in the season and they don't have that date booked (i.e. last minute weddings). DON'T tell the vendor that you would like a discount because your wedding will "only be a few hours"...if they book a wedding at a discount for that day they are giving up the opportunity to book that day at full price and probably will say no. DON'T ever tell them it will be great exposure...just don't! DON'T tell them that you can do some of the work (editing photos for example)...a professional wedding vendor takes pride in giving you their best products and services and won't want to jeopardize that. Bottom line is that everything is negotiable and it doesn't hurt to ask but don't be alarmed if the vendor simply says no...they are making a decision based on what's right for their business. www.daxphotography.com
Bride Tips From Dax Photography: Makeup and Hair order. The order in which you and your girls get your hair and makeup done the day of the wedding can make a huge difference in the flow and schedule of the day. I've seen some weddings where they save the bride til last to get her hair and makeup done...DON'T! Say you have 5 bridesmaids all getting hair and makeup done by the time they get to the bride things are undoubtedly running late (it's a wedding after all) which puts pressure on the hair and makeup people to get done faster and adds stress to the bride in general. My best advice is to never have the bride go first or last with hair and makeup but rather to have her go 2nd or 3rd. That way she's done and can relax and if something needs to be touched up it can be done before she leaves the salon. Not everyone has a photographer that can do hair and makeup ;) www.daxphotography.com
Bride Tips From Dax Photography: Nails. Bottom line you NEED to have your nails look amazing the day of your wedding! Whether you get them professionally done or just do them yourself, it's a must. From photos, to everyone asking to see your ring...EVERYONE will see your nails, so make sure they're presentable. Simple elegant is always best...crazy colors and designs just distract. www.daxphotography.com
If you're going to wear a veil for your wedding make sure it's properly secured into your hair...just setting it in with the comb won't last long. Make sure you have 2 bobby pins on each side of the comb and push them in so they form an 'X' over the teeth of the comb. Anytime anyone goes to hug you on your wedding day make sure to whisper "Go under the veil." Otherwise every hug will end in whiplash for you.
All wedding dresses with a train will have thumb hook to help you carry the train as you walk. It's always located on the underside of the train in the center about a foot from the edge (usually a 6 inch satin ribbon loop). Some brides never notice it, and others try to cut it off thinking it's just a hanger hook (which it can be used for that as well). It's a great way to easily get around in your dress without having to fully bustle it. www.daxphotography.com
