Always get a proof (a sample print) of your wedding invitations from the stationer or printer before giving the go-ahead to have them printed up. Check through the proof very carefully to ensure there are no printing errors and that times and venues are correct.

2. Make sure you have more items on your wedding present list than you have wedding guests. It can be awkward if you get the same present from two or more people. It also allows for gifts from people who cannot attend.

3. Always keep a constantly updated list of who’s coming to your wedding in case of changes. Make sure these have several contact numbers for each person – like home AND work numbers – so that you can make quick, pain-free re-arrangements. If you have a computer, try keeping all the wedding details on file so it can be quickly updated and printed off.

4. A good map. We’ve all been to enough weddings to know that some churches are impossible to find. A good map with well thought out and clear instructions is an absolute must to ensure that everyone arrives on time.

Be sure to coordinate your colors so that they do not clash. Avoid wearing something too bright or with busy patterns (including white). Lastly, make sure that you wear something comfortable. If you do not feel comfortable, then you will not look comfortable. Typically, women wear pants with a sweater or shirt and men wear khaki pants with a buttoned shirt.

Your choice for clothing may also depend on the setting and your own personal preferences. You may want more formal clothing for pictures inside but more of a dressy casual for pictures outdoors. Or you may prefer jeans over pants since you will be dressed up for the wedding. Your choice also depends on your own personalities. For example, if you wear jeans and are comfortable in them, you may prefer to wear them for your pictures. If you still cannot decide, bring several outfits with you to your session and let your photographer choose the pair that looks best on you. ]]> http://www.michianaphotographers.com/2010/04/07/coordinating-colors-for-portraits/feed/ 0
