Ideas on ways to save without anyone noticing – part 03

6. Don’t have sixteen bridesmaids

Traditionally it’s the bride who has to fit the bill for bridesmaids’ dresses. SO logically having four or five really makes things expensive. And if you shop for them at a nice shop like Monsoon you are likely to pay a lot less than you would at a Bridal boutique.

7. Don’t get married from end of May till mid September

Everything is more expensive during this time. Flights, hotels, and venues all increase price wise during peak season. You are far more likely to get discounts from service providers if you marry out of high season. Good photographers can sell Saturdays during those months four times over, it’s therefore unlikely they would offer you any kind of discount.

Eloping to the Amalfi Coast

It is the romantic dream wedding – eloping to a small pocket of paradise, just you and your partner. You can enjoy a relaxed wedding day, soak up the local culture and also cleverly combine your wedding and honeymoon into one blissful and glorious stretch.
But although your elopement will let you forget about common wedding headaches like mile-long guest lists, complicated seating plans and embarrassing speeches, there is one tradition you would not want to forgo: amazing wedding photos to show your family and friends. Our photographers specialise in this type of photography, taking all the pressure off you while documenting your day without intruding on your privacy.




From our experience:
Remember that you chose to elope for a reason. Make the most of the private moments.
There will be endless photo opportunities. Our photographers are intimately familiar with the Amalfi Coast, and they will guide you to the best little spots and views that will make all the difference to your day.
Pay close attention to your appearance. The details will become an important feature in your photos – the shoes, cufflinks, your hair, makeup, the vows, etc.
If you are brave, consider a “trash your dress” shoot together – in the pool, on the beach, by the flowerbeds or in rustic surroundings.
Have fun with each other; it makes a difference to your photos. Allow yourselves the time to let the day take you where it wants to. A glass of champagne on the piazza, gelato on the beach, a quiet walk around old alleyways… These are the moments that will be etched into your memories forever.
