										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wedding planning is fun and exciting but it’s also incredibly exhausting. It’s easy to make mistakes and commit accidental “faux-pas” when you have so much on your plate that you have to worry about. Why not take advantage of the mistakes other women have made and learn from them to prevent yourself from falling into the same situation? Here are the 30 mistakes most brides make and how to avoid them:</p>
<h2>1. Not Having a “Honeymoon Donation” Box at Your Wedding</h2>
<p>This is another thing that some may consider a bad etiquette. Some couples want guests to donate to their <a href="https://www.travelersjoy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener external noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external">honeymoon fund</a> rather than bring a gift. Others think that&#8217;s a no no. I personally think the idea is cute and practical but I do think that it should not catch guests by surprise so try to get the word out before the wedding so it spreads by word of mouth so your guests are not caught by surprise.</p>

<h2>2. Failing to Add the Wedding Location to the Save-the-Date</h2>
<figure id="attachment_10057" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10057" style="width: 665px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51415" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="675" height="506" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them.jpg 675w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-500x375.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10057" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: joellecharming.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Although you don’t have to be specific, it’s important for those you’ve invited to know the city and state the wedding will take place in. This will give them plenty of time to make accommodations or plan for travel.</p>
<h2>3. Not Being Clear about Invited Guests</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9934" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9934" style="width: 740px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51416" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them.jpeg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="750" height="502" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them.jpeg 750w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-500x335.jpeg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9934" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: nubride.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>It should be understood that an invitation to one person means that one person is invited, but you’d be surprised how many guests misunderstand. Some may assume that they automatically get to bring a guest with them, while others may assume that an invitation to them includes their entire family. Be clear on your invitation how many guests are invited – whether it’s the recipient and their family, the recipient plus one, or just the recipient.</p>
<h2>4. Including Registry Information on the Invitation</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9936" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9936" style="width: 783px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51417" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them.png" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="793" height="542" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them.png 793w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-500x342.png 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 793px) 100vw, 793px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9936" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: doitwithwp.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>While many brides might reason that this is a great way of getting the information out, it’s considered a no-no in the world of <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/2012/05/17/5-fun-diy-ideas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-wpel-link="internal">wedding etiquette</a>. Rather than doing this, include your registry information on your wedding website or simply reply when someone asks where you’re registered.</p>
<h2>5. Failing to Make the Guest List First</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9937" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9937" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51418" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-1.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-1.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-1-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9937" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: sublimebridal.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Choosing who to invite to your wedding can be incredibly difficult. There are people you may feel pressured to invite and those you want to invite but simply can’t for one reason or another. The point is, although it’s a hard part of the planning, it should be done first. Everything else is planned around the guest list, so it’s important that this is completed before any other planning is done.</p>
<h2>6. Failing to Send Save the Dates</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9938" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9938" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51419" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-2.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-2.jpg 600w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-2-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9938" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: ruffledblog.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Many brides seem to think “save the dates” are kind of superfluous, but in truth, they’re quite handy. They prepare your guests well in advance so they can make sure they’re available on the <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/lucky-wedding-numbers/" data-wpil-monitor-id="7" data-wpel-link="internal">date of your wedding</a>.</p>
<h2>7. Buying a Dress That’s Too Small</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9939" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9939" style="width: 523px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51420" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-3.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="533" height="800" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-3.jpg 533w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-3-333x500.jpg 333w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9939" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: dressretail.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Every bride wants to look great in her wedding dress, and some brides will want to <a href="https://runnerclick.com/best-diet-books/" target="_blank" rel="noopener external noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external">lose a few pounds</a> to look their best before their wedding. But it’s never a good idea to buy a dress that is too small with the hopes of losing weight before the big day. If you don’t end up losing the weight, it could be impossible to alter the dress or find a dress you love that will fit.</p>
<h2>8. Failing to Stick to Your Budget</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9940" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9940" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51421" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-4.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="600" height="372" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-4.jpg 600w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-4-500x310.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9940" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: artful-work.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>The <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wedding-101-making-it-work-when-your-budget-gets-cut/" data-wpel-link="internal">budget is the most important aspect of your wedding</a>. It’s best to break it down into sections that include everything you will be spending on: the dress, the flowers, the food, the venue, etc. Then, do whatever it takes to stay within the budget. You don’t want to start out your new life as husband and wife in serious debt.</p>
<h2>9. Expecting Too Much from Your Co-Conspirators</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9941" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9941" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51422" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-5.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="674" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-5.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-5-500x421.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9941" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: bebamfit.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>The maid of honor, the mother of the bride, your sister…these people are all probably very willing to help with the <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/2014/05/12/a-beautiful-diy-purple-wedding/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-wpel-link="internal">wedding planning</a> and the various “to-do’s” for the big day. However, it’s really important not to overwhelm them with tasks. Make sure they are capable of handling the things you need them to do, and don’t expect superhuman feats from them.</p>
<h2>10. Not Planning for Rain</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9942" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9942" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51423" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-6.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="532" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-6.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-6-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9942" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: bridalu.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>If you’re having an outdoor wedding, it’s essential to remember that Mother Nature cares nothing for your wedding plans. Always have a plan B in case it rains – does your venue offer indoor services in case of rain? Do what you can to ensure that plans can be changed last-minute in the event of showers or storms.</p>
<h2>11. Choosing Bridesmaids That are Unavailable</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9943" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9943" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51424" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-7.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="528" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-7.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-7-500x330.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9943" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: inspiredinfo.blogspot.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Most brides want their bridesmaids to attend fittings, showers and other events. This can be difficult for a bridesmaid who lives out of town or out of state. Make sure the bridesmaids you choose will be available.</p>
<h2>&nbsp;12. Not Ensuring That There is Enough Food</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9944" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9944" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51425" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-8.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="600" height="345" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-8.jpg 600w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-8-500x288.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9944" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: weddingelation.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Nothing is more embarrassing than running out of food at your reception before all guests have had something to eat. This often happens at buffet style weddings. To avoid this, plan plate dinners where each guest will be served individually, or really ensure that you’ve got enough food for your buffet. More is better.</p>
<h2>13. Not Hiring Professionals</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9945" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9945" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51426" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-9.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-9.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-9-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9945" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: djjasononline.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>There are some things you can definitely get away with doing yourself, but many brides make the mistake of not hiring professionals for the really important things (like photography or the DJ) and end up regretting it. It’s suggested that you at least hire a professional photographer, videographer, DJ, florist and baker.</p>
<h2>&nbsp;14. Ordering a Wedding Dress Online</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9946" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9946" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51427" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-10.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="800" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-10.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-10-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-10-500x500.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9946" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: bloggoopping.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>There are some truly beautiful wedding dresses available online but the biggest downfall is that you can’t try the dress on first. You don’t know if a particular designer’s dresses run small or just aren’t a good fit for your body type, etc. It’s always best to try the dress on. If you must order online, be sure to order well in advance so you can re-order if needed or have the dress altered.</p>
<h2>&nbsp;15. Not Ordering Well Enough in Advance</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9947" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9947" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51428" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-11.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-11.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-11-500x375.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9947" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: madison.k12.wi.us</figcaption></figure>
<p>It makes a lot of sense to order some things online, like the wedding favors, invitations, etc. However, you must give yourself plenty of time, just in case something goes wrong and you need to re-order or send the items back, etc. It’s suggested that everything be ordered several months before the wedding.</p>
<h2>16. Choosing Hard-to-Acquire-Flowers</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9948" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9948" style="width: 630px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51429" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-12.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="640" height="519" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-12.jpg 640w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-12-500x405.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9948" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: flowersbyusnyc.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>You might have an idea of the type of flowers you want for your bouquet and centerpieces, but if you choose out-of-season flowers, they’ll be more difficult for your florist to acquire. This means the price will go up. Choosing in-season flowers keeps the cost down and helps you stay in-budget.</p>
<h2>17. Having a Cash Bar</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9949" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9949" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51430" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-13.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-13.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-13-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9949" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: creativedesignevents.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Many brides think it’s acceptable to have a cash bar since they’ve provided food and other refreshments for their guests. It’s actually not acceptable, as it is considered bad wedding etiquette. If you want to keep the cost down, have your bartender create a few signature cocktails and let the guests choose between those items.</p>
<h2>18. Neglecting to Offer a Choice for Diabetics</h2>
<p>Whether it’s a dessert bar or a sit-down menu, make sure you have something to offer those who may be diabetic or have non-traditional food choices. That way, these individuals have something to eat as well as your other guests.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9953" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9953" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51431" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-14.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="600" height="399" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-14.jpg 600w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-14-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9953" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: sheknows.com</figcaption></figure>
<h2>19. Forgetting Tissues</h2>
<p>You would think tissues would be at the top of the shopping list for a wedding, but many brides forget them. Make sure there are tissues available for the guests in the aisles, and on the tables during speeches.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9954" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9954" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51432" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-15.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="523" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-15.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-15-500x327.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9954" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: gad.net</figcaption></figure>
<h2>20. Obsessing Over Every Little Thing</h2>
<p>It’s understandable that a bride wants everything to be perfect, but let’s face it – we don’t live in a perfect world. Take mistakes in stride and keep a level head. Fix what can be fixed and simply go with the flow. This will kick the stress level down a few notches and make sure you have a lot of fun at your big day.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9955" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9955" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51433" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-16.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-16.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-16-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9955" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: Huffington Post</figcaption></figure>
<h2>21. Forgetting to Get Food for the Bride and Groom</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9956" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9956" style="width: 630px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51434" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-17.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="640" height="480" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-17.jpg 640w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-17-500x375.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9956" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: Luxurypageweddings.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>On the day of your wedding, you’re going to be running around like a crazy woman. It’s so easy to forget to sit down and eat (even at your own reception). Have the caterers box up plates for you and your groom so you can enjoy it after the reception is over.</p>
<h2>22. Forgetting to Enjoy the Moment</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9957" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9957" style="width: 718px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51435" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-18.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="728" height="482" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-18.jpg 728w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-18-500x331.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9957" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: mikemaloneedds.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>You&#8217;ve planned for months, budgeted for just as long, searched high and low for the perfect elements…now it’s time to enjoy the wedding. Don’t lose sight of the fact that this is one of the biggest and happiest days of your life. Let go a little and enjoy yourself.</p>
<h2>23. Failing to Confirm Vendors</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9959" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9959" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51436" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-19.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="480" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-19.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-19-500x300.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9959" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: theguardian.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>It’s important that you confirm that your vendors will be present at your wedding. You should do this at least twice; once a few weeks before the wedding and once the day before the wedding. This way, there are no surprises.</p>
<h2>24. Asking a Friend to Perform/Serve/Provide</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9960" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9960" style="width: 630px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51437" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-20.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-20.jpg 640w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-20-500x334.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9960" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: flickr.com, Greg Ferguson</figcaption></figure>
<p>It’s just a bad idea in general to ask a friend or family member to perform a service at your wedding. Because you’re a friend or relative, they may feel they don’t have to do as great a job as they would for another customer. If they’re not a professional (just someone who is talented or says they’re talented at a particular thing), you could end up very disappointed.</p>
<h2>25. Failing to Pack an Emergency Kit</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9961" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9961" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51438" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-21.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-21.jpg 600w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-21-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9961" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: weddingbee.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Whatever you do, don’t forget the emergency kit on the day of the wedding. This should include things like pain killers, super glue, tape, an extra pair of underwear, bobby pins, etc. This kit could be a lifesaver in the event of an emergency.</p>
<h2>26. Not Choosing the Venue First</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9962" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9962" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51439" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-22.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="644" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-22.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-22-500x403.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9962" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: flowersandbeyond.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>After creating your guest list, your next move should be choosing the venue. Everything else (food, flowers, décor, etc.) will be planned around the venue, so it’s very important that you know what you’re working with.</p>
<h2>&nbsp;27. Not Asking about Hidden Charges</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9963" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9963" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51440" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-23.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="512" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-23.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-23-500x320.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9963" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: blog.credit.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>With every vendor you use for your wedding, you should be asking about “additional fees.” Make sure you get a quote, in writing, for the services they are going to provide. Ask them very plainly whether the quote is the full and total price you’re going to pay. This will keep you from seeing additional charges down the road that you didn’t expect.</p>
<h2>28. Not Getting the Photos You Want</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9964" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9964" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51441" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-24.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-24.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-24-500x333.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9964" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: briankraft.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Make a list in advance of the <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/2012/04/19/4-ideas-for-your-engagement-photo-session/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-wpel-link="internal">photos </a>you want from your big day. Do you want a photo with just you and your mother, or with you and your husband and both of your parents? Make a list so it’s not forgotten in the hustle of the wedding day.</p>
<h2>29. Not Checking References</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9965" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9965" style="width: 789px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51442" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-25.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="799" height="784" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-25.jpg 799w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-25-500x491.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9965" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: tppnotforprofit.blogspot.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>With any vendor you hire, it’s essential that you check references. Not only should you ask them for a few different references of past customers, but you should check to see if they have any public profiles (Facebook, etc.) and see what customers have posted or said about them.</p>
<h2>30. Talking about the Wedding ALL the Time</h2>
<figure id="attachment_9966" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9966" style="width: 620px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51443" title="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-26.jpg" alt="The 30 Mistakes Most Brides Make and How to Avoid Them" width="630" height="353" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-26.jpg 630w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/the-30-mistakes-most-brides-make-and-how-to-avoid-them-26-500x280.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9966" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: parentables.howstuffworks.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Don’t forget, while you’re in the world of wedding planning, that others around you aren’t planning a wedding. It’s great to talk about the big day with your friends, family and co-workers, but don’t go overboard. Do most of the planning behind the scenes and you can ensure that everyone will enjoy the fruits of your labor on the day of your wedding.</p>
<p>There you have it – the 30 top mistakes brides can make and how to avoid them. With these tips and tricks in mind, you’ll have an easier and less stressful time planning your big day.</p>

These great ideas may give you some inspiration to create the best possible <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/300-budget-decor-diy-tips-for-an-outdoor-backyard-wedding/" data-wpel-link="internal">backyard wedding with your available budget</a>.</p>
<h2>Backyard Dance Floor</h2>
<p>Create a dance floor by using large 16” tiles and placing them together. You can use as many as you want to make the dance floor as large as you want it.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9969" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9969" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-9969 size-large" title="5 Great Ideas for a Romantic Backyard Wedding" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/backyard-dance-floor-800x533.jpeg" alt="5 Great Ideas for a Romantic Backyard Wedding" width="800" height="533" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/backyard-dance-floor-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/backyard-dance-floor-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/backyard-dance-floor.jpeg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9969" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: bridalguide.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Its super easy to do, and the tiles can be removed later. Just make sure the ground is level before you place the tiles down.</p>
<h2>Backyard Drink Dispensers</h2>
<p>Use large iced tea dispensers as your drink station in the backyard.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9970" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9970" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9970" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/drink-dispensers.jpg" alt="5 Great Ideas for a Romantic Backyard Wedding" width="800" height="533" title="Great Ideas for a Romantic Backyard Wedding 4" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/drink-dispensers.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/drink-dispensers-300x199.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9970" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: mywedding.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>You can offer whatever drink you’d like, from lemonade to water to fruit punch.</p>
<h2>Use Shepherd’s Poles</h2>
<p>These handy items can be purchased from your local garden store and are great for hanging items of all kinds.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9971" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9971" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-9971" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/shepherds-poles-800x600.jpg" alt="5 Great Ideas for a Romantic Backyard Wedding" width="800" height="600" title="Great Ideas for a Romantic Backyard Wedding 5" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/shepherds-poles-800x600.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/shepherds-poles-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/shepherds-poles-65x50.jpg 65w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/shepherds-poles.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9971" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: 1.bp.blogspot.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Hang flower balls, mason jars full of flowers, Moroccan style lanterns, or whatever your heart desires.</p>
<h2>Get Corn Hole Boards Custom Painted</h2>
<p>This fun game is a great addition to a backyard wedding itinerary, and they look even better when they’re custom-painted for your wedding.</p>
<figure id="attachment_9972" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9972" style="width: 670px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-9972" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/cornhole-boards.png" alt="5 Great Ideas for a Romantic Backyard Wedding" width="680" height="460" title="Great Ideas for a Romantic Backyard Wedding 6" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/cornhole-boards.png 680w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/cornhole-boards-300x202.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9972" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: merrimentevents.com</figcaption></figure>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have spent the year planning and finally your special day has arrived! Family and friends have traveled far and wide to join you in celebration and show their unending support. But when you take a moment to look at the schedule of events and do the math, you realize that you will only have a couple minutes per table for the entire evening.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-38613" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-1.jpg" alt="How to meet everyone at your wedding 1" width="1280" height="720" title="7 Steps to Meet and Greet Everyone at Your Reception 22" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-1.jpg 1200w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-1-500x281.jpg 500w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-1-1000x563.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>How on earth are you going to find out all the juicy gossip, catch up on the latest big events and make sure that grandma still has enough time to compliment your dress choice? Saying “Hello” to everyone in the receiving line doesn’t count. You need to make sure that every person in attendance gets attention and feels appreciated for celebrating with you on your special day.</p>
<h2>Step One: Have A Game Plan</h2>
<p>While planning your special day find out when and where the “downtime” will take place. There will be multiple opportunities throughout the night to mix and mingle with your guests. It is best to know ahead of time when these moments will take place so you can make your way through the guest list.</p>
<h2>Step Two: Prioritize</h2>
<p>Those that came from out of town will need a little extra attention. They made an extra effort to show their support and in return be sure to visit their table multiple times throughout the event. Anyone who you feel might be leaving early (grandparents, guests with children) should also receive some priority visits early in the evening.</p>
<h2>Step Three: Keep Track</h2>
<p>It is imperative that you visit everyone at your wedding. Your guests have come from all over to celebrate with you. It is highly recommended that you thank each guest in person for their attendance. To help keep track, take a photo or leave a small token at each table so you know who you have visited and how many tables you have left to attend.</p>
<h2>Step Four: Divide and Conquer</h2>
<p>Split up with your partner to make the rounds. Don’t worry you have the rest of your lives together! This way guests will be thanked faster and tended to earlier in the night. Your guests will feel as though they have received double attention if they receive a visit from each of you throughout the night.</p>
<h2>Step Five: Make Every Conversation Count</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-38614" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-3-1.jpg" alt="How to meet everyone at your wedding 3" width="746" height="1080" title="7 Steps to Meet and Greet Everyone at Your Reception 23"></p>
<p>You have minimal time to make every conversation memorable. For some guests the conversation will come naturally; however, your great aunt or crazy uncle may pose a challenge. With your more difficult guests skip the pleasantries: “How are you liking it?” “Did you like the ceremony?” The answers will always be, “Yes! It was beautiful”. Don’t waste time with questions about the drive in or the hotel they are staying at when you know they will not complain on your special day. Use your time wisely.</p>
<h2>Step Six: Introduce Something New or Give Them a Special Task</h2>
<p>During quick conversations introduce your guests to something or someone new. It can be as simple as, “Uncle Joe, I know how much you love Mexican food so we decided on a nacho bar this evening just for you!” Or introduce your guests to someone new. “Aunty Claire, I wanted you to meet my good friend. Remember when I come to visit and you are always asking me about my adventures? Well this is the lovely lady that joins me.” The personalized attention based on your guests needs and desires will lead to a more meaningful evening for all.</p>
<p>Another way to make each conversation more memorable is to give a special task. Make your guests at that table feel as though they were chosen to attend for one particularly special reason. This creates a sense of importance and the guests will gratefully take to their new assignments. If you have a particularly rowdy table, tell them it is their job to liven up the dance floor once dinner is over. Let them know you are counting on them and the entire table will have a sense of pride being tasked with such an important job.</p>
<h2>Step Seven: Use The Dance Floor</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-38612" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-4.jpg" alt="How to meet everyone at your wedding 4" width="1620" height="1080" title="7 Steps to Meet and Greet Everyone at Your Reception 24" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-4.jpg 1200w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-4-500x333.jpg 500w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/How-to-meet-everyone-at-your-wedding-4-1000x667.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1620px) 100vw, 1620px" /></p>
<p>Get out there and enjoy! Dance with as many different people as possible. A good solid laugh and some dancing will create a more memorable experience than brief table conversation. Be conscious about moving around the dance floor and walking through the room to invite guests to dance. You are the celebrity everyone wants to be seen with.</p>
<p>Overall, remember <strong>your</strong> wedding is <strong>your</strong> special day. You invited your friends and family to come share in the love and joy. By making a plan, giving priority to those that are planning to leave early and keeping track of who you have spoken with; you will manage to see everyone and make everyone&#8217;s night extra special.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing your wedding hairstyle is almost as important as the dress. It will, after all, be immortalized in your wedding album for the rest of your life. If you haven&#8217;t decided what to do, perhaps the following most popular 25 hairstyles of 2014 will give you a little inspiration.</p>
<h2>1. Beachy Waves</h2>
<p>Beach waves are incredibly popular this year. They&#8217;re flirtatious and romantic and perfect for a <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/elegant-diy-wedding-hairstyles" data-wpel-link="internal">wedding hairstyle</a>.</p>
<figure id="attachment_12659" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-12659" style="width: 590px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-12659" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/beachy-waves.jpg" alt="weddingpartyapp.com" width="600" height="701" title="Top 15 Wedding Hairstyles 26" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/beachy-waves.jpg 600w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/beachy-waves-256x300.jpg 256w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-12659" class="wp-caption-text">weddingpartyapp.com</figcaption></figure>
<h2>2. Finger Waves</h2>
<p>This wavy &#8216;do is a little different from the wilder beachy waves, as it&#8217;s more polished and has a vintage look. It&#8217;s very pretty and looks great with a formal or non-formal wedding dress.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10103" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10103" style="width: 523px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10103" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/finger-waves-533x800.jpg" alt="Top 25 Wedding Hairstyles of 2014" width="533" height="800" title="Top 15 Wedding Hairstyles 27" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/finger-waves-533x800.jpg 533w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/finger-waves-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/finger-waves.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10103" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: blog.hairandmakeupbysteph.com</figcaption></figure>
<h2>3. The Top Knot</h2>
<p>This is incredibly popular this year for weddings and otherwise. It looks fantastic with flowers or clips &#8211; or just by itself with a veil in the back.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10104" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10104" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10104" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/top-knot-800x800.jpg" alt="Top 25 Wedding Hairstyles of 2014" width="800" height="800" title="Top 15 Wedding Hairstyles 28" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/top-knot-800x800.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/top-knot-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/top-knot-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/top-knot.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10104" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: sincerelyarizona.blogspot.com</figcaption></figure>
<h2>4. The Braided Headband (with hair down)</h2>
<p>This is another very romantic look. It&#8217;s simple and unsophisticated, but it has a wonderful elegance, making it perfect for a wedding &#8216;do.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10106" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10106" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10106" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/braided-headband1-800x533.jpg" alt="Top 25 Wedding Hairstyles of 2014" width="800" height="533" title="Top 15 Wedding Hairstyles 29" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/braided-headband1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/braided-headband1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/braided-headband1.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10106" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: fabfashionfix.com</figcaption></figure>
<h2>5. The Braided Headband Updo</h2>
<p>This is the same as the above hairstyle, but the rest of the hair is styled in an updo. It&#8217;s perfect for outdoor weddings and has a bit more elegance.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10107" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10107" style="width: 561px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10107" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/crown-braid-updo-571x800.png" alt="Top 25 Wedding Hairstyles of 2014" width="571" height="800" title="Top 15 Wedding Hairstyles 30" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/crown-braid-updo-571x800.png 571w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/crown-braid-updo-214x300.png 214w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/crown-braid-updo.png 643w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10107" class="wp-caption-text">thecocktailparty.blog.hu</figcaption></figure>

<h2>9. The Upside Down Braid Updo</h2>

<h2>10. The Bouffant</h2>
<p>This poofy, rounded hairstyle dates all the way back to Marie Antoinette. The hairstyle was created to give her the illusion of having full hair when in fact, her hair was very thin. It&#8217;s still a very popular hairstyle for formal events.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you love the idea of having your guests sign something but you don&#8217;t want a traditional guest book, this idea may work perfectly for you. It allows you to save all the signatures and memories from your <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/2012/04/13/tokens-of-appreciation/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="internal">guests</a>, without the actual book. Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:</p>
<ul>
<li>River Rocks (at least 1 for each guest)</li>
<li>Large Vase</li>
<li>Sharpie Markers (black or white, depending upon color of river rocks)</li>
</ul>
<figure id="attachment_10301" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10301" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10301" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/river-rocks-800x531.jpg" alt="Wedding DIY: River Rocks Guest Book Alternative" width="800" height="531" title="Wedding DIY: River Rocks Guest Book Alternative 41" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/river-rocks-800x531.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/river-rocks-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/river-rocks.jpg 960w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10301" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: projectwedding.com</figcaption></figure>
<h2>How it Works</h2>
<p>At your reception, you can use one of two methods to make sure each guest signs a rock:</p>
<p>&#8211; Place a rock at each table setting, with a marker and a small paper explaining to your guests that they need to sign the rock for your &#8220;guest book.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211; Spread out the rocks on a table, include the vase and markers, and leave a sign explaining to guests what to do.</p>
<h2>After the Wedding</h2>
<p>After the <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/2009/06/09/wedding-101-candy-bar-lessons-learned/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="internal">wedding</a>, place the river rocks in one vase (or several, if needed). Add candles or whatever other decorative element you&#8217;d like. This is a fantastic way to have your &#8220;guest book&#8221; displayed in your home, and with a clear vase, you can see the beautiful messages your friends and family have left for you.</p>

Today, we&#8217;re highlighting 5 unique ideas for wedding venues, so get ready to take notes!</p>
<h2>1. A Museum</h2>
<p>A museum is the perfect wedding venue for those who have a passion for history, art or science. Many different museums have facilities for weddings, like the Museum of Science in Boston.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10294" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10294" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10294" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/7163109105_0973e0f1ec_b-800x306.jpg" alt="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas" width="800" height="306" title="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas 42" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/7163109105_0973e0f1ec_b-800x306.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/7163109105_0973e0f1ec_b-300x114.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/7163109105_0973e0f1ec_b.jpg 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10294" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: Studio Atticus</figcaption></figure>
<p>This particular museum offers wedding halls, the beautiful Skyline Room and open-air weddings in their Washburn Pavilion.</p>
<h2>2. A Covered Bridge</h2>
<p>Imagine saying your vows on a beautiful old covered bridge. There are a variety of places throughout the US where you can do this, including Butts Mill Farm in Pine Mountain, Georgia.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10295" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10295" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10295" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/covered-bridge-800x533.jpg" alt="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas" width="800" height="533" title="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas 43" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/covered-bridge-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/covered-bridge-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/covered-bridge.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10295" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: buttsmillfarm.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>This gorgeous farm was established in the 1830&#8217;s, so those who marry there are surrounded by an amazing history.</p>
<h2>3. In a Zoo</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re feeling just wild about your upcoming wedding, why not say your vows in a zoo?</p>
<figure id="attachment_10296" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10296" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10296" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/zoo-wedding-800x533.jpg" alt="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas" width="800" height="533" title="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas 44" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/zoo-wedding-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/zoo-wedding-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/zoo-wedding.jpg 900w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10296" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: thomaslesterphotography.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Many zoos offer wedding packages, including the Detroit Zoo, where couples can take advantage of all-inclusive packages starting at just $80 per guest.</p>
<h2>4. In a Mayan Temple</h2>
<p>Imagine saying your vows in a structure that is hundreds of years old and steeped in history and legend.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10297" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10297" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10297" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/belize-wedding-800x532.jpg" alt="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas" width="800" height="532" title="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas 45" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/belize-wedding-800x532.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/belize-wedding-300x199.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/belize-wedding.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10297" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: conchcreative.wordpress.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>That&#8217;s what you get when your <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/2012/09/10/sweet-ideas-to-spoil-your-bridesmaids/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="internal">wedding venue</a> is a Mayan temple. Several Mayan sites offer up weddings, including many in Belize. What a fun place to say &#8220;I do.&#8221;</p>
<h2>5. On a Roller Coaster</h2>
<p>Finally, if you&#8217;re feeling really unconventional, why not take the plunge into marriage on a roller coaster?</p>
<figure id="attachment_10298" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10298" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-10298" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/roller-coaster-wedding.jpg" alt="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas" width="800" height="536" title="5 Unexpected Wedding Venue Ideas 46" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/roller-coaster-wedding.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/roller-coaster-wedding-300x201.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10298" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: twp.typepad.com</figcaption></figure>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Garden weddings are gorgeous and although they&#8217;re very elegant, they have a more casual feel to them than church weddings. If you&#8217;re considering a garden wedding theme and reception, you&#8217;re going to love these brilliant garden wedding theme ideas.</p>
<h2>1. Flowers in Watering Cans</h2>
<p>Perfect for centerpieces, these are absolutely adorable.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10193" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10193" style="width: 630px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-10193" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/flowers-in-watering-cans.jpg" alt="Brilliant Garden Wedding Theme Ideas for Every Bride" width="640" height="303" title="Brilliant Garden Wedding Theme Ideas for Every Bride 47" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/flowers-in-watering-cans.jpg 640w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/flowers-in-watering-cans-300x142.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10193" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: craftberrybush.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>Simply place pretty bouquets inside watering cans that match your wedding colors. It&#8217;s simple and works very well with a <a href="https://www.inspiredbride.net/2010/12/01/color-palette-3/" target="_blank" data-wpel-link="internal">garden-themed wedding</a>.</p>
<h2>2. Paper Lanterns</h2>
<p>Rather than hanging paper lanterns in trees around the area, hang several over each table and have them provide your lighting.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10194" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10194" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10194" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/paper-lanterns-800x600.jpg" alt="Brilliant Garden Wedding Theme Ideas for Every Bride" width="800" height="600" title="Brilliant Garden Wedding Theme Ideas for Every Bride 48" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/paper-lanterns-800x600.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/paper-lanterns-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/paper-lanterns.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10194" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: thejonesvictorianestate.blogspot.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>This is beautiful if your reception lasts until after dark; the lighting is soft and romantic and the overall effect is gorgeous.</p>
<h2>3. Vintage Chairs</h2>
<p>For the ceremony, go with vintage wrought iron chairs.</p>
<figure id="attachment_10195" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10195" style="width: 524px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10195" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/vintage-chairs-534x800.jpg" alt="Brilliant Garden Wedding Theme Ideas for Every Bride" width="534" height="800" title="Brilliant Garden Wedding Theme Ideas for Every Bride 49" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/vintage-chairs-534x800.jpg 534w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/vintage-chairs-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/vintage-chairs.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-10195" class="wp-caption-text">Image Source: weddingchicks.com</figcaption></figure>
<p>This adds a shabby chic feel to the ceremony, and you can use cushions in your wedding colors!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter which wedding advice column you read, or which tips list you peruse&#8230;you will quickly notice that hiring a professional photographer is very important. Your wedding photos will be reminders of one of the most important days in your life; bad photography can be a constant source of frustration and regret.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10146" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photographers-PA--800x533.jpg" alt="Darker Shades of Brown Wedding Photography in Scranton, PA" width="800" height="533" title="Darkershadesofbrown Photography in Scranton, PA 52" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photographers-PA--800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photographers-PA--300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photographers-PA-.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>Darkershadesofbrown Photography in Scranton, PA, is the passion of Daniel, who understands just how important those wedding photos are. After all, it&#8217;s what he&#8217;s been doing for the last 8 years, and he captures about 30 weddings per year. So, why should you get to know this photographer?</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10147" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Videographers-in-Scranton-PA-800x533.jpg" alt="Darker Shades of Brown Wedding Photography in Scranton, PA" width="800" height="533" title="Darkershadesofbrown Photography in Scranton, PA 53" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Videographers-in-Scranton-PA-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Videographers-in-Scranton-PA-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Videographers-in-Scranton-PA.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<h2>What Really Struck a Chord With Us&#8230;</h2>
<p>Right away, we noticed how down to earth Daniel is, and what a great sense of humor he has. But that&#8217;s not what really got us excited. You can see immediately that this isn&#8217;t a person who takes pictures; it&#8217;s a person who captures moments. The brides and grooms in these photos are full of life and real emotion; you can see their joy in a way you can&#8217;t with many other wedding photos.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-10148" src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photographers-in-Binghamton-NY-800x533.jpg" alt="Darker Shades of Brown Wedding Photography in Scranton, PA" width="800" height="533" title="Darkershadesofbrown Photography in Scranton, PA 54" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photographers-in-Binghamton-NY-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photographers-in-Binghamton-NY-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photographers-in-Binghamton-NY.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>They&#8217;re being silly, they&#8217;re gazing into each other&#8217;s eyes with big, goofy grins, they are full of life and the happiness of the day. These are pictures that other people will truly want to see and enjoy looking at! You know exactly what I mean if you&#8217;ve ever had to sit through hundreds of cookie-cutter wedding photos belonging to a friend or family member.</p>
<h2>What You&#8217;ll Want to Be Careful Of&#8230;</h2>
<p>Because the photos are so artistic, it&#8217;s safe to say that not every style will be the perfect style for every bride and groom. You may adore the detailed, vivid and artistic photos of <a href="http://www.darkershadesofbrown.com/fiddle-lake-farm-wedding-sarah-mike/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener external noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external">Sarah and Mike&#8217;s Fiddle Lake Farm Wedding</a>, while the very personal and vintage-feel of the photos from <a href="http://www.darkershadesofbrown.com/scranton-country-club-wedding/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener external noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external">Christine and Brett&#8217;s Scranton Country Club Wedding</a> might not be your cup of tea.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-10149 size-large" title="Darker Shades of Brown Wedding Photography " src="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photography-Scranton-PA-800x533.jpg" alt="Darker Shades of Brown Wedding Photography " width="800" height="533" srcset="https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photography-Scranton-PA-800x533.jpg 800w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photography-Scranton-PA-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.inspiredbride.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Wedding-Photography-Scranton-PA.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>This is where the consultation comes in; this is the perfect opportunity for your photographer to get to know you as a couple and what you&#8217;re expecting from your photos. The result is a custom style that perfectly conveys the personality of the bride and groom.</p>
<p>Overall,Darkershadesofbrown Photography&#8217;s work is beautiful and full of emotion. If you&#8217;re in the Scranton, PA area, we recommend getting to know this company and considering them for your wedding photography.</p>
