Wedding Photo: Bridesmaids Blow the Groom a Kiss

May 21, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, add this “blowing a kiss to the groom” wedding shot to your list for the photographer pronto! It will be one of the cutest photos of the day. Photographic magic is bound to happen when your daughter’s bridesmaids are asked to show the groom a little love.

As soon as the bridesmaids are asked to blow the groom a kiss, he will start smiling and blushing—or turn into a Romeo on the spot and eat up the attention like a glowing Adonis. Either way, the results will be wedding-photo gold.

So, MOB, share this idea with your daughter and/or the photographer. He can set it up like the shot above of our son-in-law Jake, or he can get creative and change it up any number of ways. As long as there’s kissing involved, it will be fun, right?

Just Married Getaway Vehicle and Photo Idea

May 7, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, have your soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. given any thought yet to a getaway vehicle? Here’s a fun idea to share with them—and just in time for the spring and summer weddings that are upon us.

A bicycle as a getaway means is sure to provide for fun as well as memory making. Whether one built for two or a ten-speed big enough for the groom to carry the bride in front, joy and laughter will abound when the bride and groom breeze away on two wheels. All you need to do is make sure a Just Married sign is attached to the bike so the photographer can snap a super cute photo too.

Chances are the newlyweds will only ride a short distance before needing to change forms of transportation, but the memories will have been made and the fun photos captured by then. They’ll need to have their other means of transportation waiting for them at the appointed time and place along with someone else to pick up the bike. The bride and groom can simply hop off, sneak in a kiss or two, and then take off on the next leg of their honeymoon journey.

Fun idea, right, MOB? Your happy couple may not know it yet, but a bike may be just what they need for their perfect getaway. Here’s hoping!

Boutonniere Idea: Calla Lily and Peacock Feather

April 2, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, are your daughter and her intended ready to consider flowers for their wedding yet? If so, how would the groom feel about incorporating feathers into his choice of boutonniere? Peacock feathers could be one way to go if the colors coordinate with the couple’s chosen wedding colors.

Some grooms like the idea of a peacock feather boutonniere minus flowers, but the idea pictured above shows how it can be made more elegant by pairing it with a calla lily. Not only does it look more elegant, but the light color of the calla lily makes the whole look pop. And then, of course, if calla lilies are featured in other aspects of the wedding, all the better.

Why not share the idea with them, MOB, if they haven’t made firm choices on their wedding colors yet. This may be just the special touch they’re looking for without even knowing it!

Groom’s Cake Idea for the Coffee-Loving Groom

March 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, has your future son-in-law decided on a design for his groom’s cake yet? If he’s not into all the wedding details, it may be the last thing on his mind. If that’s the case, this where you and your darling daughter come in. He may need some ideas to choose from.

If the man of the hour is a coffee lover (or some might say a coffee nerd or coffee snob – ha!), the coffee cup idea pictured above above may be perfect cake design for him. Coffee beans and chocolate curls spilling out of the cup or mug and flowing over a double layer cake will catch the eye of all. He might even have a favorite coffee mug he’d like to feature on his cake.

You could even add an extra special touch to the groom’s cake table and have coffee brewing nearby. Let a heavenly aroma turn getting a piece of the groom’s cake into a total experience. I bet the coffee-loving groom will think of other things to add to his table as well. In fact, if you’re not careful, he may go a little overboard!

So there you go, MOB—one more clever idea to share with the bride and groom. If coffee is not quite the right thing for this particular groom, maybe this idea will spark another idea that’s perfect for him. Whatever is decided, I’m sure it will fun and yummy too!

Wedding Rings Photo Idea: Say It With Flowers

February 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment

*To free some of my time for other things, I’ll now be posting only on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Be sure to use the Search feature and the drop-down menu in the archives to help you find topics you’re interested in. Hope my posts help you!

Mother of the Bride, are you gathering wedding photo ideas to share with your daughter? If so, be sure to share this idea of how to show off the wedding rings. It’s pure perfection.

Wedding rings nestled in the bridal flowers is not a new idea, but it is one of my favorites. The solid color and softness of delicate flowers provide the perfect backdrop for the sparkling beauty of wedding rings. Such a romantic way to feature the rings!

Saying it with flowers will not only make a wedding-ring shot pop with beauty, but it will pop with meaning as well as two important elements of the wedding are combined. This photo will be one to treasure since it features the rings symbolizing the joining together of two souls and the flowers which capture the joy and celebration of the big day itself.

I bet your sweet girl will love this idea, MOB. Have fun sharing it!
