1. You’ll need plenty of light

Whether it’s outdoors or indoors, good lighting is key to taking excellent pictures.

2. Lunch over dinner

Because your guests will be able to see and appreciate the details you’ve worked so hard on better in the day than at night. And also, flash photography or overexposing your photos don’t look as good as when they’re taken in the day. See other reasons why having a lunch reception might be better.

3. Pretty hues

These contribute greatly to having a wedding (and to that extent, your photos) look good. See the colours we love here.

4. Flowers

These really make a difference to any celebration. Even if you’re not having many around the venue, a few choice locations (such as the stage and reception table, where every guest will have their attention on) and carefully-picked blooms (wildflowers, as well as loose arrangements can make an impact without costing too much) will still make a difference.

5. Have a focal point

Even if you don’t have the budget to dress up the entire venue, create focal points for photo-ops for guests. Examples include the wedding arch, larger than life decorations, and more. Here, some easy but impactful ideas to jazz up your celebrations.

6. Unique and/or pretty table settings

These include calligraphed place cards to prettily-wrapped favours or patterned napkins or chargers.

7. Glitter glam

Even in small doses, gold, silver, metallic, or bejewelled accents will add a touch of glamour to your celebrations.

When you're done, don't forget to come up with a unique hashtag so you can see guests' photos on Instagram!
