Ideas on ways to save without anyone noticing – part 01

1.Choosing the right flowers.

Orchids may be beautiful but since most are imported they are very expensive. By choosing flowers that are in season and indigenous, you will save heaps.

2.Don’t buy bridal shoes

Like photography, anything labelled “Bridal”, it instantly get much more expensive. Choosing silver or glittery evening sandals can save you quite a bit.

3.booking flights months ahead of time

If you book your flights months ahead of the actual date you want to travel, you can end up paying more for taxes than the actual flight especially when flying in Europe

3.A pair of scissors

I promise you, you will need a pair of scissors on your wedding day. Just as you are running late, you will realise you urgently need a pair.


4.Eat

This may seem very obvious but some many brides feel sick or faint because they are too nervous to eat before the action begins. I highly recommend bananas; they give good energy and vitamins (some of which a good in combating anxiety).

1.The white umbrella

If you don’t buy a white umbrella, I promise you will need one. I am not a superstitious person but every time I bring an umbrella to a wedding it never rains. When I have forgotten, we have ended up being stuck with the most hideous umbrella’s imaginable.

2.Make sure you have something gorgeous to put on if it gets cold.

I could not count the times I have been to a wedding and the bride has the shakes from being cold. Often the passing of the stress of the preparations causes a strange kind of exhaustion and strangely this makes my lovely ladies in white feel the cold all the more. The English and Irish brides seem to suffer from this lack of preparation the most. Perhaps coming from cold countries they expect Italy to be hot, but these days one can never tell.

Introducing Kim

Kim is my star pupil. Perhaps after working for me so long and seeing nearly every picture we ever shot, she has a natural affinity for our style of photography. After three years of intensive training, she has amazed the old timers among us. Sometimes it’s hard to break professional photographers out of the restrictions they impose on their work. Kim’s work is fresh and lacks those dull traditional images. Almost invisible and very sensitive, she captures the most precious moments without disturbing the moment. Kim is also one of the kindest and lovely humans I have ever met.
