The Magic of Wedding Photo Frames
Looking for some unique ideas to make your wedding photos look amazing? Look no further! From wedding favors that are frames to giving frames to your bridal party after the pictures come in from the photographer, David’s Bridal has everything you need when you want to know how to look your best in wedding photos.
Wedding Picture Frames – Keep in mind when you’re getting your pictures taken what colors are in the scene, and then get frames that will accent and bring out those colors. If you are having a fall wedding and are getting a picture in front of a beautiful tree with leaves turning color – find a great gold or even dark wood frame to bring out the colors of the leaves and make your wedding pictures look like an instant classic.
Dress for Success – Instead of choosing flower girl dresses that are white, scaled down versions of your dress, consider a dash of color. When you frame it up, get a frame that matches the color in the flower girl dress. The same idea will work great for bridal party dresses. If the dresses are mostly maroon with a little bit of white or silver trim, matching the trim will bring out the details of the photo, making it look fantastic.

10 Tips for a Picture Perfect Wedding Day
Here's the secret - have more fun than everyone else! Your wedding is only the beginning; you are embarking on the start of your married life together. Focus on your new life together, and how excited you are to marry this person. The way you gaze at each other will reveal this passion, and it will allow the photographer to capture those moments.
Weddings can be very stressful for the bride and groom. Here are some tips wedding couples can use to reduce the amount of stress they encounter during their wedding to look their best in the photographs.
Be up-front about your expectations: Inform the photographer and videographer well in advance the type of shots you want to be taken so that he or she can learn positioning and style. Don’t be afraid to tear out magazine photos or to request photographs of special heirlooms or wedding day accessories.
Pre-Wedding Photo shoot: Let’s face it; those "Magazine Bride” photos that you see are planned, practiced, and picked from hundreds of options. Planning a pre- wedding shoot will undoubtedly improve your pictures. This practice will give the photographer the chance to capture that special once in a lifetime moment for you.
Scheduling a set time for the photo session: To minimize picture-taking time during cocktail hour try to take a majority of the formal pictures before the ceremony. Some photos could be the bridesmaids, groomsmen, the bride with her family, and the groom with his. If you’re traditional, you can wait until after the ceremony to involve the bride and groom together.
Know about restrictions: Get consent from the ceremony location as to where photographs and video are allowed. Many churches, synagogues, mosques and chapels have specific areas that cannot be photographed or filmed, so make sure to check with them before the big day.
Consider a unique wedding-day gift: A great new idea for a groom’s gift is to capture the bride’s primping process, and show the groom what he missed. Documented by beautiful, tasteful pictures, the groom is allowed a peek into the bride’s final moments before she becomes his forever, which will definitely become a keepsake for the groom.
Plan a Make up Rehearsal: Your wedding day is not the right time to experiment with makeup and hairstyles. Be sure to plan a separate day to have a hair and makeup "dress rehearsal". Try a few styles and pick one that’s sophisticated and romantic, but lets you look like your beautiful and radiant self.
Know your Make-up: Being a blushing bride may take more than the simple mascara and lip gloss you’re used to. For your wedding day, add a bit more make-up so you appear as beautiful and glowing in your portraits as you are in real life. Consider a bit of blush around the cheeks or matte lipstick to “pop” in your pictures. But don’t go overboard; let your true beauty shine through on this joyous occasion.
Have your bridesmaids match: Double check your bridesmaids and try to get their makeup to match each other. Having a theme with hair and make up will make your wedding party look more unified and will really tie into the overall wedding look.
Find time for intimate shots: Let the photographer take shots of just you and your special someone. Try sneaking off to a remote location for a few minutes to capture a truly loving moment that will definitely highlight your wedding album.
Breathe, relax, and smile: The brides who take the best pictures are always the ones who smile the most, and look as though they don’t have a care in the world. While this day is to share with friends and loved ones, it’s really about the wedding couple. Enjoy your wedding: laugh, smile, and gaze at your new husband/wife. Forget about the cameras and flashes and have fun!

How to Look Your Best for Your Wedding Photos
If you want to know how to look good in your wedding photos, you only have to think of it in sections.
Soft Skin
How to look good in wedding photos starts with your skin. You've gotten beautiful bridal party dresses; you don’t want to look stressed and dried out for the most important pictures you’re going to take. Drink your water. The number one way to making sure you look great head to toe is to keep your skin hydrated. Don’t use any harsh cleansers and be kind to your skin in the days and weeks before the wedding.
Terrific Teeth
The most common question people ask is some form of, “How to keep my teeth clear for wedding photos?” Sometimes they are referring to making sure they don’t have a piece of something green from the dinner salad while photos are being taken, and sometimes it refers to making sure your teeth are as white as possible for dazzling photo shots.
Happy Hair
If your hair is color treated, get a touch up a couple days before the big day. You don’t want to get it done the morning of in case there is some unforeseen mishap that turns your hair into a disaster. Get your wedding hairstyle done a few weeks in advance by doing a trial run with your hairdresser. That way there are no hair surprises when you go in the morning of the wedding. Also, don’t make any sudden changes in your shampoo or conditioner right before your wedding day; you don’t want a last-minute allergic reaction to have you scratching your head down the aisle.
