There will be more candid moment shots. Wedding photography that tells a story from beginning to end which shows the vibe and feeling of the day.

Elevated wedding guest dress codes

According to the wedding planner, more bridal couples are wanting their guests to dress to the nines. She added that guests should show up in evening gowns.

“Bring all the drama. Bring the ruffles. Bring the deep plunges. Bring all the main character energy,” she encouraged.

Restaurant receptions

“They are more intimate, the food is better and they lend very well to non-traditional weddings which is what we are moving towards,” she advised.

She did however warn that you should not try and turn the venue into a traditional wedding reception.

Trying to do so will cost you a lot of money and in fact take away the vibe that the restaurant already has.

Otherwise, you might as well have the wedding at a traditional wedding venue.
