Permalink Reply by afton.jane on mermaid bridal dresses can either be slinky or highly constructed, depending on the fabric it is made from. If you want a slip style dress that lightly hugs the curves of your body, light-weight silks and satin are the best choices. Stiff fabrics, however, will draw attention to the construction and dramatic shape of the bridal gowns. Either way, the mermaid style evokes images of sophistication and sex-appeal, whether it is worn at a casual beach wedding, or a formal evening affair.

Permalink Reply by Black Lamb Photography on I would like brides/grooms to know that they should look for a quality photographer who shoots the same style that they like, instead of price shopping. And people who want me to shoot for many hours but only want to pay me crappy pay (or be approached by 'aquaintences' to do it for free!)
What they don't realize is the tens of thousands of dollars I've spent to go to school for photography, buy equipment, advertising, doing trade shows, etc.--not to mentions the thousands of hours I have spent to practice my craft, work on my portfolios, etc.
Also, they think that my time is just for the day that I shoot. What they don't realize is the 36-40+ hours I spend digitally enhancing their photos too. Also, when people wonder why a wedding album is so "expensive", they aren't thinking about the amound of hours I spend to put it together for them to make it look beautiful as well as I have to pay another vendor to print the album for me, so I still need to make a profit off of that as well as be paid for my time.
Imagine if we asked the bride/groom to work all week for a fraction of what they normally get paid????

Permalink Reply by Lakeasha Gregory on I wish brides know the time that goes into planning a wedding. Most brides I speak to believe they can plan a wedding and work a full time job ( which is possible) if you do not want to ENJOY your own wedding. I wish they would research wedding planners before thinking all planners are not affordable because there are more than enough reasonable planners.
Permalink Reply by Janis Flagg I think that all of us who are Wedding Planners should band together to come up with ways to change the stigma of being an extravagance. I read somewhere that a bride spends the equivalent to 7.5 40-hour work weeks to plan a wedding! With a planner, who knows how many weddings we could plan in that amount of time!! We also have to get rid of the "made for TV" stereotype as well.
