Use photos to help plan your wedding

Take and share pictures of locations that strike the right chord for your wedding. You can use these photos to create a collage or a photo inspiration board.

Take photos of colors, flowers, or other elements from events you attend, then mix and match to see what works together.

Take snapshots of basic “elements” that will help you determine how you want your wedding day to look and feel. Then, use a high-quality photo printer, like the HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One, to print your images and share with your partner or your wedding planner.

Here are some basics to consider:

• Locations: Where would your perfect wedding take place? Take pictures of locations that appeal to both of you.
• Colors: Do you see a Tuscan theme filled with earthy golds and reds or an elegant affair in black-and-white? Take pictures of colors that inspire you.
• Flowers: Photograph flowers and arrangements you love and assemble a montage of floral photos to compare styles.
• Events: Whether it was a wedding, a party, or a fundraiser, no doubt you’ve been to an event that really wowed you. Explore photos from events you’ve enjoyed and try to pinpoint the memorable details.

Take multiple photos of your wedding location before the big day so you can easily plan your ceremony or reception.

Have your bridesmaids and groomsmen use photos to help coordinate colors and designs.

Print photographs of preferred styles and bring them along when you meet your stylist. Also, bring photos of your dress or flower arrangements so the stylist can work with your existing theme.

Whether meeting with vendors, brainstorming with attendants, or simply trying to keep information straight in your mind, a picture says a thousand words. Use these tips to keep your details in order:

Location

• Take photographs of every area of the location so you can easily plan your ceremony or reception. Make sure to include the ceremony site, reception hall, changing rooms/accommodations, etc.

Wedding attire

• Show attendants the color/style you have in mind with a digital photo.
• Have bridesmaids and groomsmen snap pictures of dresses/suits with their camera phone and e-mail it so that everyone can coordinate colors and designs. Find out how to print and share camera phone pictures.
• You never know when you’ll find just the right accessory or pair of shoes. Keep a photo of your dress on hand while shopping to ensure you have a perfect match.

Vendors

• Caterer: Bring photos of reception ideas that inspire you. Share pictures of the foods you and your fiancé enjoy.
• Florist: Bring photographs of your dres, or a particular color you want to include in your bouquet. Also bring pictures of arrangements, bouquets, and centerpieces that inspired you.
• Stylist: Take a photo of makeup or a hairstyle you love and bring in a print to the salon. Also show the hairdresser photographs of your dress so the style will remain consistent from head to toe.
