Ok, we have talked about this before but I think it is important enough to mention again and I saw a prime example while on vacation.
When planning your wedding be sure to ask the site if anything else is going on the same day as your wedding. This can be other weddings, sporting events, festivals, races, anything that will affect the amount of people or traffic at your wedding site. After you talk to the site, be sure to contact your chamber of commerce and check with them too.
We were at Biltmore House as part of our mini vacation. It was the opening day for all the Christmas decorations (which by the way are unbelievably beautiful) and the place was packed. In the midst of this there were two brides trying to take their pictures. One was doing wedding pictures, the other portrait pictures.
I first saw the portrait bride trying to change clothes in a crowded public restroom. I felt really bad for her, she looks so harried. Later I saw her on the front patio of the house, freezing and irritated. The second bride was with her wedding party on the lawn trying to get pictures as shuttles were pulling in and out and estate guests were milling about. I can’t imagine how they could have pictures without strangers in the background (unless the photographer is really good at photoshop). I know things were not turning out the way the bride had pictured it at all.
So word to the wise, know what is going on at your site on your chosen day and make your plans accordingly!
