Planning wedding reception seating tips. Assigned sitting at your wedding is not mandatory. However, most brides and grooms prefer it, but are clueless about all the details they need to consider. If you are looking for the details you will need to know for preparing your Reception such as deciding who will sit where, arranging your Seating chart and informing your guests, this article is for you. Keep reading!

Most brides and grooms prefer assigned seating because:

Guests prefer to be told where to sit rather than search for seats to occupy because it is less stressful,
Having assigned seats is more efficient and will eliminate possible confusion at the reception.
Seating tables with people who know each other will make them comfortable. However, it will not do much to encourage mingling.
Be sure to assign at least a few people who are familiar per table because a table where no one knows anyone else might be a bit intimidating for most people!
Unless guests seated at a table are related, assign guests by approximate ages and interests as common denominators, so that they will be likely to get along and have fun!

What to Ask Your Wedding Photographer

Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Wedgewood Banquet Center wedding

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Questions are GOOD! The more questions you ask, the more involved you become, the more informed both you and your photographer are, the smoother the process will be.

I love it when I get ‘fussy’ brides. It means that I know exactly what they want, they feel assured I know what they want – the more demanding the bride before the day, the better I like it!

So here’s my top ten questions to ask:

1 – Will you adjust your style to suit what I want?

Answer – within reason. Any professional photographer would rather pass a non-fitting client on to a more-suited colleague than try and be something they are not, just to keep a job. But flexibility is of course essential, too! Be sure before you meet that the photographer’s style is what you are looking for – and if you change your mind whilst viewing more of their work, do not be afraid to say so. It saves everyone time!

2 – What is your method of working on the day?

Indian Wedding Photographer

Tuesday, July 28, 2009
Oakhurst Country Club wedding

The quintessential fat Indian wedding starts with a bang and ends with a bang. There is so much involved in a traditional wedding that the whole occasion would look drab without these small details. They are presented with such distinctions, that they will remain unforgettable and remarkable. There is glamour, glitz, emotions and as one wedding planner has rightly pointed out photographs. One cannot do without photographs. And to capture all the activities and excitement, you will need an Indian wedding photographer.

Well the photographer need not be essentially Indian, but he should be acquainted with the Indian rituals and traditions. Otherwise he or she will totally miss the essence of the occasion. Indian weddings are elaborate and grand affairs, and to some extent complicated. There is so much to be done in so little time, that you will need excellent time management and excellent idea about what and whom to capture in the photographs. Most Indian weddings are completed within a span of 5 days which means that a lot of moments will be captured in the camera. An Indian wedding photographer will make a lovely compilation combining the most candid shots with the most emotional ones. They have a special talent for it!
