Wedding idea: The three white dresses

Erin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:57:15 +0000

This next wedding idea comes from two different weddings. When I was growing up I remember a poem floating around called “My Three White Dresses.” The poem was about the three white dresses a woman would wear in her life. In Mormon culture these special dresses would be your blessing, baptism and wedding dress. In other religions this might be a christening, communion or wedding dress that you could incorporate into your wedding. At any rate it was a very tender poem and I thought it was cute that a some of my brides incorporated these dresses into their wedding reception.

At Kaitlin and Logan’s wedding they had a display with photographs of Kaitlin in her three white dresses.

At Jessica and Matt’s wedding, which I have yet to blog, they had the actual dresses on display.

I hope you find these wedding ideas helpful. Feel free to leave comments if you have any ideas you would like be featured.

Wedding idea: Generations

This next wedding idea comes from Hannah and Neal’s wedding. At their reception they had a display of wedding pictures from each of their parents and grandparents. Their picture from that morning at the temple was the crowning touch on a great display. I thought it was a sweet idea and all of the guests seemed to enjoy it. I would like to incorporate something like this in my own home sometime — I just need to track down a few more photographs.

Wedding idea: The candy bar

I am starting a new feature here on the blog where I will be highlighting some of my favorite wedding ideas. I go to lots of weddings and receptions and I thought it would be fun to share some of the pictures of unique ideas that I have seen at past weddings. A lot of times these details don’t make it into my posts about that particular wedding overall. I know a lot of my brides for this coming year are just now in the beginning stages of planning their wedding so it might be helpful to some of them. Let me know what you think.

This particular idea I have seen a few times and these pictures are from Marianne and Andrew’s wedding that I helped shoot with Dustin Izatt at the Zermatt Resort. The basic idea is to have jars of different candies in your wedding colors that guests can make a bag of to take home and enjoy. These always seem to be very popular with guests. Here are a few pics of the idea in action.

Candy bars also make an excellent backdrop for ring shots. Yummy!
