Bridal Earrings for the Wedding Day

by Ted Hust

You dream of your big day your entire life and adding final touches to your wedding look is one of those fun decisions you get to make as a bride. There are many accessory options out there from big bold necklaces, chunky, illusion and multiple strand bracelets, but when it comes to earrings - you can't go wrong. Take a few of these ideas to help you decide on your wedding day earring selection.

First consider the color gown you are wearing. With more fashion options to brides, dresses aren't just white any more. Whether you have a white, ivory, pink, or non traditional color bridal gown, choose materials that have the same color tones. If your dress is white, ivory pearls will not match perfectly with your gown, stay true to your colors.

Next consider your gowns embellishments. If your bridal gown has pearls, crystals or rhinestones on it, then pairing it with jewelry that uses those materials is the best way to coordinate your jewelry with your gown. There are many bridal jewelry designers out there that use quality pearls and crystals that will last a lifetime and become a true heirloom.

Once you have determined a color palate and the right materials, finding the right pair of earrings to finish your look is easy. There are a wide variety of styles available to brides. Chandelier earrings, cluster earrings, drop style, stud and chain are all some of the varieties of bridal earrings available on the market. If you love to wear big and bold jewelry, than a chandelier or cluster style earrings would be perfect. These earrings add a dramatic flair to the ears and draw attention to the face. For the bride that loves a simple, classic look there are simpler designs available including drop style, post and tiny earrings that have a small dangle.

There is a non-traditional method of mixing new with old. Most brides do the something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. A great way to incorporate the old with the new and possibly the borrowed, is to take a piece of heirloom jewelry you love from a family member or close friend and incorporate that jewelry into a new piece. Whether you take an older broach from grandmas jewelry drawer and have a jewelry designer take it and make it into a hair piece with some additional gems to spice it up or you transform a pendant from a necklace into a unique new necklace. There are special ways to incorporate your heirloom jewelry into your bridal look.

Lastly, whether you choose a fancy chandelier style earring or a drop style earring, do not pack your jewelry away. While your bridal gown, tiara and veil may have to be packed away after the big day, your jewelry doesn't have to be. Keep your bridal jewelry out and in your jewelry box for safe keeping. When your anniversary or another special occasion come up, that's the perfect time to select that special wedding day jewelry and remind you of your special day.

The Wedding Photographer

by michaelrussell

Your wedding day is one of the milestones in your life that will become a defining point in your personal history. Memories of a wonderful wedding day can last forever. A really good wedding photographer provides you with a record of that special day that you can share with family and friends and it is worth having a consummate professional handle the photography on a day that cannot be repeated and must, therefore, be captured perfectly as it unfolds.

There is no need to offend any well-intentioned friend who offers to 'save you the cost of a photographer' by coming along with their camera. You can say that the more pictures that are taken of the day the better and you'd love your friend to capture informal pictures of all the guests who are usually left out of the formal shots or suggest that you want all your guests to relax and enjoy the day with you and let others do the work.

The formal groups that used to be the only product of wedding photography in former times are still part of a wedding album today but a first-class wedding photographer will capture special moments before, during and after the ceremony that will bring a smile to your face many years after the event. If your wedding is to take place in Surrey or South West London, you may be fortunate enough to be able to hire Kat Hannon, one of Britain's leading wedding photographers, to 'do' your special day!

Why Use A Professional Wedding Photographer?

Equipment Digital cameras are great but cameras designed to allow amateurs to take snapshots will not produce the results that professionals can obtain with their equipment. Apart from anything else, having a selection of different lenses allows a professional to get shots that someone with a single-lens apparatus cannot hope to obtain.

Locations One of the big differences between an amateur photographer and a professional is the ability to instantly see the 'whole' picture when taking a photograph and know how it will turn out, the result of training and experience. A professional wedding photographer has an eye for background, light and shade, colour and suitability and knows the best places to get the best results.

Choosing The Right Moments Unlike most photo shoots, a wedding doesn't allow for endless re-takes - a wedding photographer cannot shout "Cut!" and have events repeated until the shot comes out right! That is why it is so important to have a professional capture the day - knowing just when to take pictures and, equally, when not to... There are many little moments leading up the the wedding itself, just afterwards and during the reception that make for wonderful additions to a really good wedding album - who better to capture those moments than a wedding photographer who is also experienced in reportage? Nothing beats experience when it comes to getting it right first time every time and you are fortunate in having a Surrey wedding photographer who has that experience and can show you an example of what can be done to ensure that you always look back on your wedding with pleasure and that future generations will also admire the results.
