In this charming book, Mary Norden shows how elegant details can make your wedding a memorable occasion. Five main sections focus on the essential elements of any wedding reception: table decor, flowers, favors, keepsakes and finishing touches. Interspersed with these sections are five very different wedding themes—Classic, Contemporary, Floral, Romantic and Country—each one packed with an array of ideas ranging from the exquisitely pretty to the coolly chic. Nothing is complicated—all of the details are fresh and pleasing, simple yet sophisticated, and are guaranteed to enchant and impress your guests. Wedding Details will help you make your wedding a magical, marvelous and truly special occasion.

The aesthetic details that the couple selects when they dream up their perfect wedding help to tell their love story. The couple devotes a great deal of time to selecting their rings, attire, shoes, flowers, food, cake/desserts, decor, and more. These objects help to welcome and comfort guests and speak to the couple’s individual personalities and tastes. Savvy photographers know the importance of artistically capturing the wedding details—from the lace or beading of the dress, to the invitations and menus, to the cake toppers, and more. They understand that, twenty years down the line, when brides and grooms leaf through their wedding albums, it’s the images of these details—plus candid, expressive portraits—that will portray the feelings they had on their wedding day. In this book, Wayne presents 180 creative captures plus generalized tips designed to help you create a technically perfect, fluid, storytelling chronicle of the day.
