親手製造的復古風格婚禮 - (Veronica & Andy)

設計靈感來自一張牆紙,創意十足的新娘Veronica根據這圖像製造了這個獨一無二的復古婚禮出來。由婚禮佈置(decorations)、吊燈(chandelier)、布花束(boutonnieres)、菜單、檯號等等，還有新娘裙及頭飾，都是Veronica的出色手作，親手將復古風格貼滿整個大日子。

而舉辦婚禮的地點是新娘父母的屋，充滿童年回憶及親切感的老地方，亦希望賓客們都身同感受。"We never lost sight of our guests during our planning – we wanted them to feel comfortable and happy and very much a part of the day. "

新人Veronica給大家安排婚禮的提示：

“Our rentals were not in great shape unfortunately – pretty rusty and there were even some holes in the roofs of the tents.  I would really suggest researching your rental company ahead of time and making sure they have top quality items – that was something I really took for granted. And as for fun advice – make sure to look around and take it all in – the love and the happiness is so overwhelming. It still warms my heart when I think of it.”

Congratulations Veronica & Andy on your amazing wedding.

舊式鄉村風格的婚禮- (Grace & Aaron)

從婚禮攝影師Richard Israel的作品中，可以看到新人Grace & Aaron婚禮的三種主要風格：舊式鄉村風(Old Time-Folk)丶古董(antique)及親手製造 (D.I.Y.)。喜歡這種簡約至上的安排，奶油色配啡色的亞麻布及捆起來的乾草作裝飾，天然大樹和綠葉作背景，在鄉村音樂下與賓客一起跳舞。為了婚禮的古董風格，新郎及兄弟團都穿上背心(waistcoat)、吊帶褲及皮鞋去配合整個場合，本人就非常欣賞他們的造型，你呢?

新人Grace給大家安排婚禮的提示：

“Have a short engagement (more than 6 months would have been too long to wait for me -when you know who you want to marry!), and don’ t waste time on DIY projects because the hardest part for us was having our best friends working hard with us the week of the wedding on finishing things up. We had hoped to have some great down time and just enjoy all of the people that were supporting us, then the week before, for example, the girls were all cooped up helping me sew through the night.”

Congratulations Grace & Aaron on your incredible wedding.

以舊物為主的婚禮- (Andy & Mercedes)

地點是海邊旁的一個舊式而別緻的農埸內。佈置就採用從二手市場買入的舊書(old books)、舊玻璃瓶(mason jars)及燭臺(candlesticks)再配上自己用舊鐵罐製的花瓶為主要裝飾，而背景(backdrop)都是用一些二手及舊的物料製成，既能節省支出又做出預期的效果。衣著方面，新娘的婚紗及面紗(veil)固然漂亮，數最驚喜要算是姊妹團與兄弟團的衣著配合，令整個婚禮派對更加引人入勝。

而新人Mercedes及Andy就在這些極具創意的佈置及貴賓們見證下，互相交換婚戒，正式步入人生的新一頁。

新人Mercedes給大家安排婚禮的提示：

“Don’t do it all yourself! Its more fun for everyone promise :) Love your Fiance’ through the whole process of the wedding. Not because your getting married but just because you love him. Don’t make your wedding the focus of the relationship for those few months. It’s refreshing :)”

Congratulations Mercedes & Andy on your amazing wedding.

婚禮攝錄師 Videographer

每一次參加婚禮，除了期待當晚的場地佈置及新人的禮服之外，婚禮攝錄師(videographer)為衆賓客準備的數段短片我亦會特別專注欣賞，很想感染一下新人的喜悅。那怎樣才算是一條優質的短片(short film)呢？要有故事性？用創新的拍攝手法？抑或要大量道具輔助呢？以下這幾段極短片雖然各有特色但同樣地令人難忘及感動，值得一看。
