Birdcage Veils for the Glamorous Bride

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

If you’re a non-traditional bride looking to follow the most fashion-forward wedding trends of 2010, a birdcage veil might be just what you’re looking for. These vintage-inspired headpieces combine a soft net veil that covers part of the face, and is embellished with flowers, feathers and jewels. This trend is truly dramatic and glamorous and will make a bold statement on your wedding day. What’s your take on birdcage veils, are you a fan of old-hollywood-esque glamour, or would you stay with something more traditional?

Flashback to Film: The Perks of Film Photography

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Digital cameras might be all the rage, but that doesn’t mean film is dead just yet. There are a ton of artistic photographers who are dedicated to giving film a comeback, and the results of their work are truly dazzling.

Many of you may have noticed how Dan & Julie’s Real Wedding was full of unique photos, bright colors and interesting shots—that’s right! It was all shot on high quality film, printed and then scanned in to create digital prints.

You Look Nice Today Photography is a big proponent of film photos. I know it might be scary not to have the benefit of instant digital feedback, but it might be worth a try if you want truly unique photos with a fresh, artistic flair. Just look at how gorgeous some of these shots from You Look Nice Today came out:
