How to Choose Your Getting Ready Venue

You’re “getting ready” to get married in your private room with your closest family and girlfriends, getting your make up and hair done together, leading up to “the dress.”  To capture this time means capturing excitement and emotion. However, this detail in the wedding planning process, can understandably be a difficult one to decide on because you might not be aware of what effects the overall experience. Such as:

• how and which outside factors will enhance your experience and your photos.
• what details actually make the process of getting ready less stressful for you.

These moments before saying “I do” are singular moments filled with micro moments of laughter, tears, deep breaths, stillness, and prayer. Moments that are worth the time to better understand what makes a great Getting Ready experience, so that when you look at your photos, your memory of the time spent getting ready to be married, will feel like only yesterday.

Below are some tangible tips to put your mind at ease and help you feel more confident in knowing your moments will be captured with brilliance and ease.

4 Tips on How to Choose Your Getting Ready Venue

1. Decide on the style of setting you desire:

Whether it is at home, a hotel or at the wedding venue, consider the aesthetics of the area. Ask yourself, does it match your wedding style?

2. Light is key:

You should look for a location that has a lot of window lighting, so that it will brighten the whole picture. Even a location that has a pretty outdoor setting will bring out the best of your time.

3. Be close to your soon-to-be husband:

If the both of you are getting ready on the same property, then the time will go by easier and capturing photos will be smoother.

4. Choose a location nearby:

Maybe the wedding venue is not where you will get ready. Then make sure your getting ready venue is close by. Time is very precious on your big day. For any driving you do on your wedding day, double that travel time. You must consider the amount of the people who will be moved from point A to point B.
