Marriage videos

Videos of marriage can be a job for DIY for a friend or a major production of the cost of a nice package. Opinions differ, but usually a video is not considered as a major need, especially if you have a professional photographer to capture those special moments. It must also be remembered that some places of worship cannot authorize photography video. Always check with the marriage celebrant and ask for permission in advance.

However, if you choose your wedding video study the following, from the beginning with a few suggestions I have:

What events do you want to be covered?


You may with to consider some or all of the following elements. Don't forget that it is not possible for the cameraman be in two places at a time!

- promised home to prepare for the wedding with her parents and bridesmaids
-father bride and bride?s to travel to the ceremony of marriage, or
-the groom guests arriving pending the ceremony with his best man and the arrival of the bride with his father
-the ceremony of marriage, including the exchange of rings
-the wedding reception, including speeches, cutting the cake, wedding dresses, guests Waltz, throwing the bouquet and departure

What special features you want on your video?


Just as with wedding photography it is possible to have special features on your wedding video, some are as follows, but the list is certainly not exhaustive:



-your sepia
-black and white
-slow motion
-commercial style ramps
-hue and saturation
-(style_film) of the transition effects.
-audio music or a background or a mixture of the two
-Special messages to your guests


How much will be a video of marriage cost me?


It depends on your budget. The length of your video is certainly something to consider. The cheapest option will be a video DIY with only the cost of tapes and disks. Later, you can transfer and edit your home video on DVD. Professional videos vary in price, just like your photograph of marriage, so ?Get those who cited! ?

Symbolism of flowers of marriage and DIY advice

Symbolic flowers of marriage: there is nothing like a marriage to launch discussions on the flowers which should and these flowers which should not go to a bouquet of bride?s, or decorate the Church. Great white Peace Lily is one of these flowers that older generations associate funeral and crowns, symbolic of ?rest in peace? of peace! However, there was a stage where it was popular for bride?s take a stem white lilies single.

The symbolic wedding flowers: how you decide on what is appropriate?

There are some indicators for what is appropriate (rather than what is not appropriate) to include in your selection of flowers for your wedding decorations and wedding bouquet:

- your national flower of country?s, will be regarded as a symbol of good luck, for example, use Scottish white heather, Myrtle Irish use, Singapore orchidsetc.
-flowers corresponds generally to the colour of your costume of traditional marriage of country?s, for example in the European countries and Western White, Eastern gold and red, etc.
-flowers with a symbolic link to prevent evil spirits e.g. weeds
-wild flowers and the foliage sprays associated your campaign which would have been accessible to all the wives (attention to preservation orders)
-perfumed flowers, once again to keep away evil spirits

When looking at the flowers for wedding decorations, you must also be aware of the how will you do to organize their. For example, vases:

- the conventional narrow throttle vase is associated with death in the Western world
-vases decorated with, or too showy, may be frowned upon by the Church or not balance with architecture
-If after my theme DIY use jam pots decorated with foam bark or tree

Also keep in mind that lighting effect on the color of your wedding flowers. The churches are generally rather dim or shadows threw them to the candle. Dark colors need of handling carefully, as they tend do step to establish wells. Check if it is possible to have a discreet projector on flowers.


List symbolic flowers of marriage:


This list is certainly not all the flowers of symbolic marriage because they are too numerous to mention. Neither the list includes the names of many exotic flowers shipped worldwide in the tropics, which are more and more popular with the young brides. Here is a small selection for consideration:


-Apple Blossom for Better things to come
-Daffodil with respect
-Marguerite of Innocence
-Fern to the Fascination and the hope
-Forget-me-not for love and remembrance
-Generosity Honeysuckle
-Iris for the warmth and affection
-Ivy for eternal fidelity
-Lilac (white) for the young Innocence
-Lily of Majesty
-Rose to Innocence (white)
-Rose (red) for love
-Rose (yellow) for deep friendship
-Snowdrops hope
-Delicate pleasures of sweat pea
-Violet of fidelity

The flowers of his Highness Royal Queen Elizabeth of marriage:


When their marriage of the Duke of Edinburgh at Westminster Abbey, it have two huge sprays of flowers yellow and white or the other side of the alter. They included arums, forsythia, pale yellow tulips, narcissus, hyacinth white, white lilac and variegated Ivy trails.


Options of wedding flowers:


-for those that follow a theme DIY, try drying and preservation of the flowers which can then be used as the basis for your flower key
-spray fruit and berries to incorporate your decorations
-use unusual pieces of wood, e.g. twisted hazel, or a piece of driftwood from the beach, or pine cones (that you can spray paint) as the basis for your centerpiece
-consider use of silk flowers, or flowers in paper
-an alternative to bud vases is a glass wide border (e.g. brandy glass) half filled with a bloom of your choice on top
-consider holding a rosary instead of just as bouquet Melania Klauss who married Donald Trump
-If necessary consider holding a bible instead of a bouquet

To conclude, there is no right or fault at the time to choose your wedding flowers. Remember when making your choice, you will have to look at these flowers for the rest of your life in your wedding photos!

Wedding ceremony seating part provides i is explicit. However, you may find it useful to know that it deals also with the order of the procession. Part II looks at the wedding reception.


These arrangements can be very easy or extremely complicated! Brides of countless lost sleep due to family policy, competing fractions, later responds to the invitation of marriage, or in some cases no answers whatsoever. If you are one of the lucky ones, or those unfortunate whose guests you drive angry, I have a few suggestions to help you to overcome all the difficulties that you may be experiencing, as well as more traditional arrangements.

The ceremony of marriage of seating plans part 1:

The Church altar, registrar?s table, or in a kiosk, the bride is left with the groom on the right of the Minister/marriage celebrant. Later:

- father bride?s stands on the side or behind the bride to his left.
-the best man stands on the side or behind the groom to his right.
-the Chief bridesmaid is directly behind the bride
-the other honour damselflies, pageboys, flower girls, behind Chief bridesmaid, forming two columns to the bride and groom (depending on the length of the marriage and welcoming ceremony for the role of the father bride?s and best man, chairs, stools of foot or cushions, may be expected for the flight attendants)
-the bride?s family is seated left of the Church/room/Garden, followed by his relations and friends.
-the groom?s family is sitting to the right of the Church room Garden, followed by his relations and friends.
(If a party has very little family, while the other is flooded family, it is usual ?evenly fill? both sides.) For the enemy fractions they do need not sit next to each other!)

Part I of the wedding ceremony seating plans: procession to the sacristy:

- Premier opens the door to the sacristy
-follow-up of the bride with her husband on his right
-monitoring by the Chief bridesmaid with the best man on the right
-follow-up by young ladies of honour/pageboys/flower girls
-monitoring by the mother of bride?s with the father of groom?s right
-monitoring by the mother of broom?s with the father of bride?s right

Plans of seats for an informal wedding ceremony:


In an informal setting, for example a beach wedding, internships for the bride, groom and attendants of celebrating the marriage, are always the same. Subsequently, the bride and groom may decide to dispense with tradition and have their guests to form a circle around the wedding party.
