CLIENT: My sister is having a wedding and her best friend from childhood is a man. How should he dress? Tux that matches the color of the bridesmaids or matching the groomsmen.

Ribbons
Ribbons are one of the prettiest, most cost effective flourishes you can add to your reception. They can be ultra feminine or tailored, depending on the fabric, color, and texture Organza is one of my standbys, because it’s sheer, shimmery, and romantic.

CLIENT QUESTION:  My photographer insisted on NOT taking any big group pictures; instead all the relatives were shot in small groups. Was this done to increase his total bill? ME:  Yes, it was, in my opinion. By shooting the family in group shots, you are eliminating the possibility of extra sales.

Beware of Photographers and the Package Game: Are you a Bronze, Silver or Gold? Those cutesy names used by photographers to describe their packages aren’t by accident. Many studios cleverly use psychological tactics to get couples to spend more. For example, some photographers use precious metals for package names: from bronze (the least expensive) to Gold (Top of the line). But what...

Some Dutch researchers recently published a paper about the judgments that married women encounter based on their last name choice. According to their research, women who take their partner’s names or hyphenate were seen as: more caring more dependent less intelligent more emotional less competent less ambitious …than women who kept their last names.

In general the initially quoted price for wedding services will be high. Keep this in mind and don´t be afraid to negotiate. Tell them outright that you don´t intend to spend that much and you will be surprised at the accomodations they can make rather than lose a sale.
