Keepsake Ideas for Wedding Photos

One of the most memorable days of any individual’s life is their wedding day — and rightfully so! Whether it was a significant event at a local venue or a destination wedding on the smaller side, your big day is an event that shouldn’t be overlooked! And if you had some beautiful photos taken at your wedding, then there are some great, different ways to help preserve the memories around your home!


Throw Blanket
The most popular wedding keepsake that any newlyweds would love to have is a throw blanket! Coming in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, a throw blanket is a perfect gift to give yourself or someone special in your life! Depending on where you purchase the blanket, you can either have one photo that covers the entire span of the blanket or a collage of pictures from your big day. No matter what you choose, you’ll have a unique, one-of-a-kind blanket that you’ll treasure forever!

Coffee Cup
Another fantastic way to commemorate your big day is to have a particular photo (or two) printed on a coffee mug! Even if you don’t drink coffee, a mug is still a handy item to have! Whether you drink tea, hot chocolate, or drink soup out of it, you’ll have a beautiful little keepsake to hold onto (literally) every day!

Canvas Print
Framing your favorite photo from your wedding day is a timeless traditional — but if you’re looking to take it up a notch, then looking into a canvas print will be even better! Especially for those homes that are looking to have some new art/accessories, a canvas print will be the perfect addition to any room — no matter how big or small the print may be!

What are the Benefits of Using a Wedding Day Hashtag?

In today’s day and age, many new wedding trends are on the rise! From having a photo booth that can send pictures to your phone to a groom’s cake that will steal the show, the list of trends is endless — but what about creating a wedding hashtag? Sure, it might seem a little new-wave, but it does have a series of benefits that you should consider!


Easy-to-find Photos
You know the struggle well: after attending a friend’s wedding, birthday, or graduation (and the list goes on), sometimes, you’re on the hunt for photos from the big celebration — but that can be a bit of a difficult task to accomplish. However, with a custom wedding hashtag, you’ll be able to find the photos you’re looking for on social media — thanks to your friends, family, and plus-ones in attendance! 

Personalizes the Celebration
When you’re trying to find ways to add even more of a personal touch on your wedding day, a hashtag is the way to go! From adorning it on custom signs around the venue to putting it on your wedding favors, a hashtag is a perfect element to make your wedding the one of your dreams!

Doesn’t Have an Expiration Date
Just because your wedding day will come to a close doesn’t mean your hashtag will! Believe it or not, you can use your hashtag in the years to come when you post about your wedding on social media! Another great benefit of a wedding hashtag? It will be the perfect element to add to personalized decorative items in your home — and who doesn’t want that at the end of the day?

How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Cake

Let’s face it: what would a wedding be without a cake? Whether you’ve attended quite a few receptions or were just invited to your first, having this dessert staple present is just as iconic as having rings and a ceremony! However, if you’re currently planning your wedding and are a bit perplexed on how to choose the perfect cake — don’t worry, because here are some simple tips to follow!


How Many Guests Are You Expecting?
Let’s just cut to the chase: how many friends, family, and plus-ones are you expecting to show up on your big day? By finding an almost-definite number will help make the process much simpler; you’ll know how big the cake has to be and how many people it should serve!

What Is Your Favorite Bakery and Do They Make Wedding Cakes?
Sure, it may seem strange if a bakery doesn’t make wedding cakes — but it’s more common than you think. If you have a favorite bakery in mind, see if they take orders for wedding cakes. And if by chance they don’t bake them at their shop, ask if they have any suggestions or recommendations of where you can order the wedding cake of your dreams!

Of course, you could always resort to using the good ol’ internet to find a bakery nearby that makes wedding cakes — but, sometimes, that won’t always provide you with “piece” of mind (pun intended).

If You’re Thinking About a ~Wild~ Flavor, Rethink That.
Sometimes, couples will be offered a variety of ~wild~ flavors (i.e., ginger spice, coffee) that can be incorporated into their wedding cake. While it might seem like an excellent opportunity to try something different — you might want to save that for another occasion. 

Although it’s your wedding day, there’s a chance that you might be stuck with a series of leftovers if the new flavor doesn’t go over well with your guests. Therefore, try to keep it safe and opt for more “fan-favorite” flavors.

Finally, Always Go to the Tasting!
Speaking of flavors, before you settle on one, you usually have a tasting with the bakery. And while many couples go, many opt out of it and decide on a flavor. Spoiler alert: always make time to go to the tasting — because sometimes you might not be a fan of the way a bakery produces a certain flavor!

Why It's Best to Hire a Professional Photographer on Your Wedding Day

As the old saying goes, “A picture is worth a thousand words” — and if you don’t have any photos to commemorate your big day, then all you’ll have are non-visual memories in the years to come! Luckily, in today’s day and age, there are a series of beautiful ways to document your big day — and the best of them all is by hiring a professional photographer! If you’ve been a little hesitant to do so, here are some benefits to consider:


Big Helping Hand
With the technology of today, some couples are looking to document their weddings themselves. Whether that be through guest smartphone photos or going “vintage” and leaving disposable cameras at each table, there are plenty of ways to commemorate the moment. However, there is also a possibility that you might not have photos for the smaller moments that lay in between the major ones. That’s where a professional photographer comes in hand!

A professional photographer will be able to capture every moment of the day — from your wedding prep in the morning to the moment the limo leaves your reception after a beautiful, memorable wedding!

Can Assist with Mementos
Another significant benefit of hiring a professional photographer on the big day is that they’ll be able to provide you with keepsakes and mementos! Sometimes, you might feel as if you ended up with a bunch of precious, priceless photos to have for the years ahead — but you might also feel as if you’re not too sure what to do with them besides frame them. 

With a professional photographer, they’ll be able to give you options of different ways you can use and repurpose your wedding photos. Some of the most popular options are canvas prints, blankets, mugs, ornaments, and so much more!

The Benefits of Ordering Professional Wedding Invitations

We get it: planning your wedding can be rather stressful (completely understood). And with one mishap, it can feel as if you’re drowning to make everything go smoothly. One of the most essential details, that can sometimes feel the most demanding, are wedding invitations. From finding the perfect invitation style to handwriting (or printing and placing stickers on every envelope) each recipient's name, the process can be a bit grueling — but what about opting for professional invitations?


Relatively Cheap
Believe it or not, there are a series of incredible, professionally-printed invitations on the market. Whether you’re looking for a simple design or one that’s custom and intricate, there’s a wedding invitation company that will fulfill your vision in the most stress-free way possible! The best part? Put your investigative skills to the test and scour the internet for one of the many reliable companies that can provide what you’re looking for at a great rate!

Pre-Printed
Farewell, learning to do calligraphy just for your wedding invitations! When you opt to use a professional wedding invitation service, you can provide the company with a list of attendees (and their addresses) to be printed on envelopes! Then, once you receive your invitations at your home, the only thing you’ll have to do is place a stamp on them and bring them to the post office — that’s it!

Unique Invitations
Another perk about purchasing professional wedding invitations is that they will be unique to you and your future spouse! Many will offer the option to have your name printed on the invitation itself — and may even provide you with the opportunity to have a photo on there, too!

Do I Really Need to Have Flowers at My Wedding?

Regardless of the theme or color scheme, one detail that is present at many weddings happens to be flowers! And while fresh blooms are usually a “fan favorite” by most, there are some couples that would rather do without them. However, if you’re not sure whether or not you want to have them on your big day, here are some things to consider before calling your local florist:


Can be Expensive
If you’re looking to have the wedding of your dreams, then you’ll know that it will come at quite a cost. Sure, there are some details you can cut back on — but in the rush of it all, you might not be too sure what you can go without on your big day. Flowers, as it's known, can be rather expensive. Whether it’s a few bouquets or table centerpieces, a little goes a long way on your credit card statement. If you’re perfectly okay with not having flowers at your wedding, all in an effort to cut costs, then that would be the best bet (after all, it's your big day; you call the shots)!

Won’t Last Forever
Planning your wedding is stressful enough — but having to wonder if your flowers will hold up on the big day can add even more pressure. After all, since fresh blooms are a part of nature, there’s a chance they could wilt earlier than expected. And unless wilted flowers are your thing, then there’s no place for them at your wedding!

Might Not be in Season
Believe it or not, some flowers aren’t popular all year round — and it’s not by choice! For example, if you’re having a wedding in the middle of winter, it may be a tad difficult to come across sunflowers in bulk, locally. Although they can be shipped from a warmer state, there’s a chance that they might not have as many as you need — or the price could be a tad astronomical.

The Final Decision
When it comes to having flowers at your wedding, the choice is entirely up to you! If you opt not to have them, that’s perfectly fine — after all, it’s your big day! However, if you would like to have flowers, then there are a variety of other options to have them present — such as opting for faux flowers!

Is it Better to Buy my Wedding Dress at a Store or Online?

One of the most essential details for a bride-to-be is finding the perfect gown. Whether they have a specific style in mind or designer, there are many different parts to the wedding gown equation that go into consideration — but what about where to purchase it? While many brides will buy their gown in person, some consider buying it online — but is that the better choice?


Not Possible to Try it On

Granted, you might know what your dress size is but some gowns either run too big or small, depending on who the designer is. And if you’re purchasing your wedding dress online, there’s a chance that it might not fit the way you’d like it to. Sure, you can get it altered, but if the dress arrives at the very last minute, it might not be ready by your big day.

Won’t be Able to Feel the Fabric

On your wedding day, you want to be as comfortable as possible — and if the dress is made from a scratchy material, then that can be an issue when you’re trying to dance and have fun all night long. Unlike purchasing your dress in a physical store, you might not know what it might feel like until you receive it in the mail. Another downside of purchasing your dress online? There's a chance it can be made of another material other than the one that's listed — and that's never a good thing (considering the initial cost of most wedding dresses).

Where Should I Purchase my Wedding Dress?

Drumroll, please: at the store! While this may have seemed like the better choice from the start, it’s always good to weigh out the possibilities of both options. When you’re looking to purchase a gown for your big day, it’s best to head on over to your local bridal boutique — and Village Bridal & Boutique of Babylon can lend a helping hand!

In Need of Beautiful Wedding Dress on the Big Day?

Stop by our Village Bridal & Boutique (attached to Dynasty Limousine) today! You’ll be amazed at the incredible gowns you can find, at wonderful prices!
