2011 BRIDES CHOICES ARE "CLASSIC IN" AND "TRENDY OUT"

Reports are coming in the brides in the tri state area are choosing classic, elegant ceremonies and receptions over the trendy for their big day.  They are going back to basics.  Making sure their guests feel comfortable and hospitable rather than showing off the latest fades.

The average couple is older now and many paying for their own weddings; they use the high tech developments to shop and plan together what they like and want but then bring in the traditional and classic looks and values to the event.

THE BIG WEDDING DAY KISS

The key to achieving this is practice! Most this kiss comes naturally but even expert actors and actresses make mistakes on their kiss!  A pre-smooch conversation is a definite essential!  You want to make sure both you and your groom are on the same page when all eyes are upon you on your wedding day!  Soft, beautiful and natural is the perfect way.  Discuss with your photographer whether you want your eyes open or not for the everlasting photo album picture.  

It should be long enough for some beautiful pictures but definitely not a tongue swapping kissing session for all your relatives and guests to view.

A little conversation about this before and practice, practice, practice will make your big wedding day kiss be an appropriate, memorable and beautiful one!!!!
