Your East Midlands Wedding - August/September 2020 (Issue 39)

Enjoy your dream day with our expert advice CAPTURE THE MOMENT Q: I’m really shy when having my photo taken, but how can I ever get around this? I’d always advise you to get to know your photographer; if you click (no pun intended) and can have fun with them, it will help immensely on the day. Request a pre-wedding shoot if they don’t offer one, and always include the bridal preparation shoot. These simple things can help you feel at ease with the camera. Most importantly, speak to your photographer about your worries and concerns. The right supplier will be able to adapt their style to one that’s less imposing if needed, making you feel much more comfortable on your special day and help to remove those fears. I’d also suggest doing a little bit of research to get a feeling for wedding shots and styles you like, then speak with the photographer and find one that excels in natural shots, documentary or journalistic-style images. These can be less imposing and still achieve excellent pictures of your day. Above all else, remember it’s your day and you need to choose a photographer that’s interested in your story.

For that extra special touch to your big day, you’ll need to add elements and special versions of practical ideas that will stand out and be memorable. These should be striking additions that will give a definitive wow factor to the wedding. A perfect example of this is our exclusive Carousel Display which is elegant, contemporary, beautiful, lights up the room and is extremely versatile. It can hold sweets, doughnuts, cupcakes and mini-desserts while illuminating and rotating all of the delicious treats you wish to serve your guests – it’s quite the showstopper. Also, have a play with words when hiring the large light up letters, try something different like ‘Always’ or ‘Forever’ for example. Or perhaps personalise your day with your initials or surname. This will look fabulous on your photos and will set your day apart from the rest. There are many special and exclusive props for hire on our website and more stunning props launching soon. Our advice? Don’t be afraid to do things a little differently. Kaila Green | Big Day Display | www.bigdaydisplay.co.uk HOT TOPIC  EXPERT ADVICE 73
