I am currently planning my wedding, and we are trying to make a decision about whether or not to serve liquor at the reception. My family is for it and claims weddings are boring without it, but my fiance’s family is totally against it. We are paying for the wedding ourselves so whatever my fiance and I decide will go. I just don’t want to anger either side.

Dear Heather,
I am always all for doing whatever is going to make you and your fiance happy on your wedding day. However, you should always show your guests respect. In other words, do what makes you happy without horribly offending your family. I would suggest completely eliminating liquor. You can serve champagne with the toasts and then maybe offer beer and wine. Also offer cider or something similar to those who do not wish to drink. This way, those who want to drink will (in moderation) and those that are against drinking don’t have to.

COLORS: Red & gold. Only bold and dramatic colors fit a Hollywood theme.
 
 
FLOWERS: Ranunculus. Big, bold, and beautiful, these flowers have the star quality you need for this theme!

ATTIRE: A mermaid gown with a chapel train. A short bubble veil will compliment the look perfectly.

LOCATION: A glamorous indoor setting such as a ballroom. Don’t forget your red carpet!

CAKE: Couture wedding cake. A classy, couture cake with red and/or gold accents.

MENU: A sit-down dinner with only the finest foods. Serve steak and/or lobster, and don’t forget the wine!

OTHER IDEAS:
- Don’t forget your red carpet!
- Leave your reception VIP-style in a stretch limo!
- Place disposable cameras on each table and let your guests know they are your paparrazzi!
- Don’t forget to hire a videographer!

Photography has always been a passion for Maria. In additional to digital format photography, she is also educated in the art of developing black and white film.  The experience enhanced her overall view of photography as an art.  Not only does she approach photography from an artist’s perspective, understanding of the beauty of good composition, she is adept at manipulating the settings of her camera to achieve different desired effects.  There is so much to photography besides pointing the camera and taking the picture. 

Before she even begins to take pictures, she has met or spoken with her client to get a feel for their interests and their style.  She has taken into consideration the location of the session or ceremony and has visually mapped out the lighting and the setting.  While she is working, her mind is at work creating visual compositions and she strives to incorporate completely unique photos and compositions in addition to the more traditional and journalistic styles of photography.

She considers her work a labor of love and the memories that she creates is as special to Maria as it is to her clients.  Please take a moment to visit her website and view the galleries of her work.
