In a world of strapless and spaghetti strap, sometimes it’s hard for brides to find wedding dresses with sleeves. These are some of my favorites…

The Unique Bridesmaid

A few weeks ago, Leila at Inspired By This did a fabulous post on mixing and matching bridesmaid dresses. I too, am a huge fan of the look! Bridesmaid dresses are seldom worn again, and giving your maids the chance to pick their own dress makes it more likely that they will wear it again, plus, they can pick a style they feel comfortable in. In addition to probably being worn again and being comfortable, mixing and matching dresses makes for some fabulous pictures and really lets the personality of each bridesmaid show through! After all, it’s personalities that make each wedding unique so give your maids a chance let their personalities come through too.

Another aspect to help make each bridesmaid unique, is giving them different bouquets. It could be all the same color with different types of flowers, or different styles of bouquets within your selected color scheme.

Dress Shots

In most wedding celebrations dresses, like shoes, get their own personal shot. Since these shots require the dresses be hanging, sometimes it’s hard to get creative with the pictures but the good photographers seem to manage to get some incredible shots! Below are some of my favorites.
