The Wedding Secret

Stephani Foster and myself have been tickled to death to be featured on The Wedding Secret's blog

Here is the post!


A Little Country Wedding


All of the images at the beginning is a wedding that Stephani photographed by herself in the middle of tornado season! The divas had to split up that day to photograph weddings in two different parts of Tennessee. The second set of images is a wedding I photographed in Jackson, TN. The Lewis wedding was also featured in VIP. A local magazine in Jackson, TN.

It is awesome that our weddings are featured and we plan to blow 2011 out of the water! We are attending workshops to improve our skills and learning from some of the worlds best wedding photographers. We hope to bring a little pizazz to West Tennessee this year. We are seriously honored by this post. Thanks to Kate with The Wedding Secret.

Modern Color Palletes (Cherry+Yellow+Black)




Good for: Upscale backyard weddings

Tips for pulling it off: When you're playing with primary colors, it's easy for things to get out of hand. Put a damper on the over-the-top hues with a solid neutral like black.

Modern Day Color Palletes (Gold + Silver)



Good for: Formal winter weddings

Tips for pulling it off: Whoever said you shouldn’t mix your metals? This glittery mix adds a punch of style to any affair. Use a variety of textures -- from crystals to ruffles -- to keep things from looking too two-dimensional.

Modern Color Palettes (Purple+Lime+Black)




Purple + Lime + Black

Bridal Veil Guide



Blusher Veil

Typically combined with other length, this is a short single veil worn over the bride's face.
It extends below the chin but usually drops no farther than the wrist (so as not to interfere with the bouquet).
It is worn over the face during the wedding ceremony and lifted by your partner for the kiss.




Shoulder length
A short veil, this one lands on the shoulders usually with a piece called a "blusher".
This veil is an excellent choice for brides who want to highlight the details on the back of the wedding gown.
This style goes with almost any dress.



Elbow or Waist length
Generally used for gowns without a train and will show off any detailing at the waist of the gown.
Best compliments a gown with a full skirt.
The wedding veil should end below a low back but above the start of the skirt.



Fingertip length
It falls right at the fingertips of the bride if her hands are at her side.
This veil can be worn with almost any wedding dress, except dresses that come above the ankles.
For brides under 5' 4", a fingertip veil is not recommended because this veil usually ends about mid-thigh on a petite woman and would visually cut your leg in half.




Chapel length
A chapel length veil either barely dusts the floor or is a few inches longer. It's length makes this chapel veil an ideal complement to a formal gown with a chapel or sweep train.
Generally used in formal weddings.



Cathedral
These are formal veils most often worn with those wedding gowns having a long train. The length of the bridal veil usually exceeds the length of the dress train by at least 6".
