Planning A Big Wedding?
As traveling wedding photographers and videographers, our team at Saiaf Films has attended a an impressive variety of wedding events throughout the nation. Some have been small, quaint and totally intimate. Others have been extravagant and included an impressive multitude of guests. Over the years, we have gathered a thorough understanding of what it takes to accommodate a smaller wedding- and those on the larger scale. If you and your beloved both have a large group of friends or have a large family, you are probably going to have a fairly large guest list. Here, our team would like to share our tips and ideas for hosting a big wedding and what it takes to make it awesome!
The Venue: The size of your venue is a super important detail if you are planning a big wedding. Be sure to visit your venue- in person- before you settle. You will want to scope out the space and do some planning on what will go where and whether or not there will be enough room to accommodate all of your guests. You don’t want your guests to feel crowded or clustered in a small area. When you visit the venue, envision where the tables will go and if there will be space in between them for your guests to move around and mingle if necessary. Also, check out the dance floor area! Is there enough room for a large amount of guests to boogie? If not, you may consider relocating or designating additional dance floor space.
Give Guests Something To Do: When you are having a big wedding with a large amount of guests, certain moments will take up more time than others. Dinner time will be one of those moments. It will take some time for people to get their food, so why not give them something to do in between? Consider having a photo booth where your guests can take some memorable photos? Another growing trend is a snack or a treat buffet where your guests can design snack bags.
See Everyone: With a big wedding, this can be easier said than done! But, if possible, the bride and/or groom should try and see and visit with all of their guests. With a four to five hour reception, you should be able to make it around to see everyone. If it doesn’t seem possible, perhaps planning a rehearsal dinner or a welcome party for your out of town guests might be a good idea. Just remember, your wedding guests are coming to see and celebrate your union- try not to leave anyone out.

The Canvas Just like a painter sitting down to a blank canvas, it is important to begin with smooth, clean, toned and moisturized skin. It’s difficult to have clean makeup for engagement photos if you are beginning with leftover residue from a previous application.If necessary, consider giving your skin a facial or a gentle scrub treatment prior to your makeup application. Just don’t scrub too hard! You don’t want to irritate your skin. Having a fresh and clean base will minimize uneven makeup application.
select a smokier style that you can blend into lighter shades. Smoky shadows can be blended on the outer corners of the eyes, creating a more desirable effect.
