This week we're talking all about wedding lighting, why it is so important, and how you can pull it off the savvy way. This is a trend that isn't often thought about first or even second when it comes to wedding planning, but it makes such a difference for your wedding day experience, and ultimately for the photos you will get and treasure forever. Many venues take care of this for the couple, but especially if you are DIYing your event, you may need some help where lighting is concerned.
We are joined by the amazing Marie Kubin from Rent My Wedding. She specializes in all different savvy alternatives for effectively lighting your wedding day and making you, your venue, and your guests look amazing.

This episode is all about a common ceremony moment that seems like it may be falling out of fashion… and that is the tradition of the bride being “given away” by her father to her new spouse. Giving away the bride is the moment at the wedding where the bride leaves the hands of her father or parents and joins her groom. There is typically a moment where the priest or officiant will ask: “who gives this woman to be married? This is a particular tradition that can and should be personalized by the happy couple, based on their familial relationships, beliefs, and values. Where talking lots of alternatives, and other forms of symbolism that may make this tradition sit a bit better with you.
