Classic bridal party portraits are necessary, but after what feels like hours of standing perfectly composed, smiling just enough, we think you deserve some fun. Throw in a few of these creative wild cards to add variety to your photo album. Please no hand on the shoulder boring poses, BE YOU!

 
Getting married doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the silly, childhood pleasures in life. Enjoy them!!
 
 When you first showed your friends your engagement ring, they likely started shrieking and hugging you immediately. Behold, the married man's version.


A fun throwback to those photos you used to take back in school.




 
 
 How much does he trust his groomsmen? This high-flying shot is the real test!




 
The umbrella effect. Props help your bridal party relax and loosen up for photos, forced smiles begone! Dainty parasols make every photo look prettier, no storm clouds necessary.

 The leap of faith! Enjoy these poses, show your photographer ahead of time what you would like to create so that they can orchestrate it with your group. After all, you are with everyone that you love and should be the happiest day of your life. Be yourself and have fun together.

Monday's Montage: Pictures to save the date with

There are so many fun ways of letting guests know they need to save the date. And one of them is to take a picture with a picture prop. If you are planning on using a picture for your save the date let yourself be inspired by one of the creative pictures below. Here are 10 amazing picture save the date ideas.

1. She said Yes! There are so many beautiful versions of this photo. But there is something about this one with its torn piece of paper and handwritten note that tug on the heartstrings.

 
2. Everything is better with a little vintage. Throw in a vintage frame and a vintage suitcase and presto an adorable save the date.
 
 
3. Say it with balloons. Really you should be able to say everything with balloons.

 

4.Or how about say it with spoons. These vintage spoons engraved with the date of your wedding are lovely. Perfect for a rustic wedding or a couple who loves their kitchen.             
 
 
5. Grab an old window pane and your pup for a photo that is very you.
 
 
6. Say it with shoes. The date written on the soles of your shoes is a winner. But then again most things involving shoes are.

 
7. Scrabble anyone? If you are a couple obsessed with word games this is the save the date for you.

 
8. Hang it. So simple and yet so cute. A few wooden numbers, some paint, and some string. You can't go wrong.

 
9. Paint it. An empty canvas and paint makes for a great save the date.

 
10.Write it on a Chalkboard. Chalkboards are all the rage and let's just say a chalkboard has never looked so good.

Ask a Planner... "Facebook Follies"

 
Hi!

This may be strange (or maybe I’m not alone), but I'm concerned about my wedding photos turning up on Facebook and Twitter and such as a result of our guests snapping shots and sharing them online.  I feel that our wedding is a very private and intimate occasion and would really prefer to keep it between us and invited guests at this time.  Is there a proper way to politely ask guests not to post our photos?  Thanks for any pointers.

A DreamGroup Bride to Be


Hi there dg Bride to Be :O)

I LOVE this question!!!  And I'm sure you are not alone in your thinking.  I'm always one for simplifying a problem with the straight up honest truth so how about posting a lovely printed note at the Guest Book Table or Greeting Area from you to your guests requesting that they do not share your photos online. Something like this might do the trick...

"Hello and welcome wonderful family and friends!  We are so excited that you are able to join us in celebration of our commitment in love!  We welcome anyone that wishes to document the occasion with photos to do so, however, we would like to keep our wedding just between us and our cherished guests and so humbly request that any photos taken today do not get shared on any social media channels without prior consent.  Thank you again for honouring us with your presence today. We so appreciate your love and support. It means the world to us.  Now let's party!  Love Bride and Groom"
