Important Steps to a Wedding Car Hire

So you’ve set your wedding date and now it’s time to start planning. This is the most stressful time as you lead up to your special day, trying to get the venue you want, hiring your wedding cars and planning the ceremony can leave many women on the verge of tears, the sheer frustration that the day doesn’t go according to plan, can give many couples sleepless nights as they prepare to start their lives together as a family.
Before you start shopping around for a wedding car hire, you are going to want to have a good idea of your wedding theme. Are you having a summer or a spring wedding? Are you planning a wonderful winter wedding? Knowing your theme, your color combinations and your venue will help you determine the best wedding cars that meet your particular theme with ease.
Next you need to know the date of your wedding. By now you have probably booked your ceremony location and your reception venue, so you know the date you need along with where you want to be picked up and transported to. You probably want two or more cars to get you to the ceremony and then you and your partner will carry on together in one car to the reception. The date must be finalized, so you can find the car and book it to reduce the risk of disappointment when you get closer to the time.
Set yourself a budget before you start. There are companies that provide their services at affordable and even fixed rates and then there are those that come with hidden costs you were not anticipating. This is your opportunity to chooses a few companies and review each one in detail to ensure you get the best deal to work within your budget. Choose a company that has a great selection of vehicles that meet your theme needs and come in within your budget.
When looking at wedding car hire companies, it’s always advisable to ensure you choose a company that has an excellent reputation for their vehicles. Their vehicles should be clean and well-maintained, so you are assured a reliable transportation solution for your special day.
Identify how many cars you are going to need. This may be determined by where your reception is being held and how many family and friends you have traveling long distances to share this special day with you. If you have a large number of guests that have traveled, maybe you want to arrange a bus to transport them, so you also reduce the risk of anyone drinking and driving. It also ensures all guests arrive at the venue at the same time. Then you are going to want to focus on a car for you to get to the ceremony and one for your fiancé, along with your bridesmaids and his grooms men. You may want another car or two for very close family members,so you can arrive as one large bridal party on the special day.
Go online and find a wedding car hire specialist that enables you to get quotes and book online. This way you can put in your pick up post code and your venue post code along wit your date and go through the available cars on that day, making your selection should be easy so you can book from the comfort of your own home. The benefit to this is the amount of time and energy you save, giving you more time to focus on other things that need to be completed on your list before your special day.

Wedding Photographers – Market to the Bride But Don’t Forget the Groom

There are few absolute rules in the world and the following is by now means universal, but when it comes to weddings, the bride usually chooses and values the wedding photographer. Despite this fact, don’t forget the groom for he also plays a role.
What does this mean for your marketing plan? Your pictures should appeal to the bride. Men and women often find different stories appealing. This fact is evidenced by the numerous movies that are marketed primarily to women and those marketed primarily to men. If the industry thought the movie would appeal to swaths of both genders, in its own self-interest it would have marketed to both. A wedding photographer needs to follow the example of the movie industry and produce contact information that strongly appeal to the bride.
What is an example of how this can be implemented? Find out what is the age range in which most women in your area get married and get feedback on your pictures from those women on which of your pictures are the most compelling. Create a web gallery of the 20 pictures YOU find the most compelling. Send out a link to the gallery to friends or family who are in that age range and ask them to pick the two pictures which most strike a cord in them. You will begin to see a pattern arise of which pictures get most highly ranked. Put those pictures on your website and other promotional material. A comment on the type of pictures that will likely win out in this selection process: Brides want to see pictures that make the bride look beautiful. Usually the bride looking beautiful is important to the groom as well. How good the man looks, while important to a bride, is not as important as how the man is interacting with the bride. He should be looking deeply into her eyes or admiring her from a far. A chemistry between the two should be readily apparent. These types of pictures, from my experience, most often appeal to the bride.
When meeting with couples sell your work to the bride but don’t forget the groom. After all, with any luck, a significant chunk of change from their assets are going to be paid to you for your service. Help him to see the value he will be receiving by investing in photography. Help him to see that the wedding photos is (at least for this particular couple) a once in a lifetime experience – one that can never be replicated. It is important that he see the value in your work. More than one groom has vetoed the bride’s choice of photographers because he didn’t see the value in the service. Helping him come on board with the bride’s choice is one way to prevent a potential conflict between the couple and capturing marital harmony is after all what the service of wedding photographers is all about!

How to Find a Unique Black Wedding Dress

A Black wedding dress can be so stunning. Imagine a hand beaded full bodice black wedding gown with a corset styled back. This bridal gown would have lots of Swarovki crystals all over the black skirt.
This is what I call a very memorable moment of exotic beauty. Many women, perhaps have never given any consideration about the beauty of a black wedding dress.
Now if you’re looking for some gowns there are some awesome bridal gown stores in the United Kingdom that carry black wedding dresses.   You can do a search for these by using the word gothic wedding dresses.
A lot of the shops in the United Kingdom can also ship to other countries so make sure that you call and ask about shipping. Now if after all the searching you still don’t see what you are looking for you can always have someone make you a unique black wedding dress.

Make sure you are planning ahead if this is your decision to design your gown. You will want to shop around for the fabric to make sure you are finding what you are looking for in black fabric.
There are some designers like the Alfred Angelo dress gallery who can order a dress from his gallery in black. Imagine if you decided to go with an awesome black wedding dress. The colors that go with the color black, often seem to look more beautiful and vivid in contrast to the color black. For instance, if your wedding is going to be around Christmas time, you can have a black and gold wedding.
Everyone in your wedding party would be wearing black with gold accents. This is a wonderful holiday look. Now if you decide to get married around Valentine’s Day your colors could be black and red. The colors black and red together are very bold and rich looking.
Take a minute and imagine yourself carrying some beautiful red roses as you walk down the aisle in that beautiful black wedding dress. Always remember this is the day that you express your ideas with your love ones.
