Wedding ties: what to wear when tying the knot

http://ift.tt/1sjBqvr

Weddings – they’re all about the bride aren’t they? As a future groom, you probably already know that the bride will take centre stage at your wedding, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try to dress to impress. If you want to look sharp in your wedding photos, you will need to step up to the mark and choose a seriously sophisticated suit, and that means choosing some really stylish accessories to enhance your look.

Your choice of wedding ties is a key ingredient to your wedding appearance, so it’s worth considering all of your options carefully before taking the plunge.

With so many different tie colours, patterns and styles, it can be difficult to know where to start.

When choosing your wedding neckwear, you’ll want to go for a more stylish tie than your average everyday wear. Your tie will be the focal point of your wedding outfit, so luxury is most definitely the key.

If you want to blend in with the wedding party, it is worth finding out if there will be a wedding colour scheme. Your bride will certainly thank you for fitting so well into all of those wedding photos! One option is to go for is a plain satin tie; an elegant, yet understated choice of tie that can easily be matched to the colour of your bride’s bouquet. Alternatively, try a rich swirling pattern, such as Paisley, for that classic touch of elegance.

Whether you prefer a cool pastel shade or an electrifying pink, don’t forget you can tailor your look with different tie styles. If you really want to go to town on style, try a classic wedding necktie, a tie style that is really reserved for the special occasion, or try something suave and sophisticated like a traditional black bow tie.

At DQT, you can find a huge selection of ties that would be perfect for your big day. Check out their range now.

Photofilms - A Unique take on your wedding legacy!

Your wedding day flies by. One minute your stepping into ‘the‘ gown, the one that illuminates you for that one special day, and the next you’re sipping cocktails on a beach somewhere – it’s a blur, a total fuzz that comes and goes so fast the details are easily forgotten. Or are they?! As long as you’ve prioritised your wedding photography high on your wedding planning list, you’ll be fine. But for those who don’t…

…the distant memories fade and the legacy of becoming one drifts into the forgotten realms of family life, kids, schools and more. What a horrible thing for anyone to go through: not having beautiful, tangible wedding memories… but …

Yep. I know. I’ve said it all before and I’ll say it again, and again, and totally bug the hell out of you to make sure you get the hint and ensure you get the best wedding photos your money can buy. Your choice is unlimited with all the different styles to suit your personality and taste but have you heard the latest? Photo film anyone? Ever heard of them? I bet you’ve seen one or two whether or not you realise it. And they fabulous! Completely and totally fabulous!

Let me introduce Linus of Linus Moran Photography, a beautifully stylish and elegant wedding photographer from the clan of wedding photographers Bournemouth, to introduce this fabulous new way of creating your wedding legacy.

Photofilms – A unique way to remember your wedding day

What is a Photofilm, you may ask?  It’s a documentary film utilisng the power of stills photography, accompanied by audio recordings taken from your wedding day.

Great documentary wedding photography has the ability to bring you back to the moment, but over time our memories along with some details will fade. Keeping those small, yet very important details alive is the driving force behind Photofilm wedding videos, producing a film that serves and acts as a ‘living’ wedding album.

We all remember the faces of loved ones through the images we have.

But what of the voice? 

A voice tells so much about a person with tone, accent, mannerisms and diction all serving to create and leave an impression with the listener.

These valuable facets are all utilised within the construction of a wedding Photofilm, giving depth and structure to the flowing narrative of your wedding day.

Golden Moments within the wedding day speeches

I view the wedding breakfast speeches as being one of the greatest moments to capture within the wedding day.  Packed full with heartfelt words, emotions become amplified through tributes being paid and received.

Many times I have witnessed a groom or bride, well up with tears, or more often than not, a father of the bride being stopped in his tracks, struggling to deliver his words.

Its also part of the day rich in comedy value, with guests being reduced to fits of laughter.  Killer punch lines delivered with style,and panache, sending the entire reception party into rapturous applause!

Wouldn’t it be great to capture the speech and the line that created that memorable image?

I am a firm believer that weddings are all about the people. The Bride and Groom, the family and friends.  I want to keep everyone together as much as possible, as the hours spent together on this day are precious and quickly pass.

Capturing the interactions and relationships can be done naturally, with sensitivity and through a calm observant approach.

This is not to say that I wont or don’t take portraits, as I do.  But these can be done easily and with little fuss, with small windows of opportunity being taken at various points in the day.

With out interruption to the flow of the day, as little as 10 to 20 minutes of wondering the grounds, utilising the venue’s aesthetic qualities along with the quality late summer evening light can provide timeless, elegant portraiture worthy of adorning the centrepiece of any home.

How do we capture the all important voices?

Using high quality professional digital recorders strategically placed within a room or placed within the groom’s jacket pocket, recordings are made without any interference to the wedding day’s natural flow.

They are small and discreet, yet sensitive enough to capture every vow, every promise and every tribute.

Your wedding day story in your own words

I let you and your wedding guests, tell your story in your own words. Recording and carefully creating a film that creatively unfolds to document the real story of your wedding day.

My photography artistically captures every detail, leaving you to tell the story of your day….Naturally.

A modern way to relive your wedding day

Photofilm wedding videos are designed to be enjoyed, viewed and shared on the everyday technology.

Designed for easy loading onto your iphone, ipad or computer for instant sharing amongst friends and family on social media. It’s the album you can carry everywhere you go!

Its also a wonderful keepsake to share with friends and family who may not have been able to attend the big day!

Why choose a Wedding Photofilm?

• Modern and highly individual


• Capturing valuable detail often forgotten


• Hold the emotional context to your day


• Vows and speeches captured for prosperity


• Your story told in your own words


• The carry with you and share wedding ‘album’

One reason you should choose to have a wedding Photofilm

There is only one reason, and this will be self evident upon watching one.  The first one I viewed hit me hard.  It was unlike any wedding film I had seen before.

Unlike moving film footage that washes over you accompanied with mediocre backing music, the photofilm delivers powerful emotional context.  Something that can only be done through bold, stills photography – each moment having been carefully considered before pressing the shutter.  Each image being individually selected and timed to appear alongside relevant contextual audio.

My first viewing of a photofilm left me with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.  I’m a man, an impartial viewer, yet I was bought into that moment shared by the couple on their wedding day.  It was powerfully emotive and delivered beautifully.

Take the challenge and see how you fair.  Maybe I’m just a romantic who is too in touch with my emotional side!

I had a chat with Joy about Serendipity and how she began her company:

When I was preparing my own wedding I was intrigued by all the beautiful ideas. I loved making and personalising our wedding stationery and table decors and this is what led me to start Serendipity Wedding Design creating beautiful handmade wedding stationery. This meant I was doing what I loved full time.

I like something quirky, something different which shows the characters and styles of the individuals and work closely with couples to define their style.

I gained a Pass with Distinction for my MA and 1^st Class BA (Hons) Degree in Illustration and still believe that Art can be functional and practical as well as looking beautiful. My experience is varied and I’ve produced a wide range of work, including traditional painting, drawing, illustration for children’s books, wedding stationery and marketing promotional materials such as magazines, advertisement, leaflets, banners and posters.

I founded Serendipity Wedding Design to help couples create their perfect wedding stationery that suits them and am also the owner of Art BLOCK Design. If you’d like please do visit either Serendipity Wedding Design or Art Block Design. I’ll see you there.  Joy.
