I can’t count the times I’ve read of the unfortunate circumstance of a bride in utter dismay over her wedding gown photos. This dismay stems from the hanging gown shots; a white dress made of duchess satin with exquisite beading hanging on a not-so-gorgeous plain plastic hanger. Paints quite the picture, doesn’t it?

If you’re a bride, you have more than likely spent a good amount of money on your gown. A special dress deserves a special hanger. Purchase a pretty hanger befitting of your gown; you will be thankful once the proofs come in. Weddingish is to the rescue with plush satin hangers for the cost of a latte. If you’re looking for more intricate designs, Etsy has a plethora of one-of-a-kind options.

If you’re feeling generous, gift a hanger to each of your bridesmaids, as well. A bridesmaid dress shot is an important accompaniment to your dress photos; group the bridesmaid dresses together or photograph just one.

Brides are loving personal touches on everything for their big day.  From the wedding cake to the photography to the perfect playlist, brides want elements of their personality integrated into each and every detail of their big day.  In fact, we spend so much time finding the perfect stationery, from save-the-dates to invitations to thank you notes, that an oft-overlooked item is one of the first wedding-related details to be seen by the guests: the postage.

Because it’s all in the details, it’s important to find the small elements that needn’t go unnoticed.  Placing a wedding-themed stamp on your invitation adds just a little something special to an otherwise mundane detail.

In case you haven’t seen, there is a plethora of wedding-themed stamps from which to choose.  You have your pick of postage that relays something special about your wedding. Whether it’s a photo of your bouquet flowers, or an image resembling your ring, you can literally put a unique stamp on your day.

Zazzle.com offers an array of wedding-themed stamps, and USPS.com unveiled wedding stamps last year.  At zazzle.com, customers have their pick of Small, Medium, or Large.  Though the stamps cost more than their face value (a sheet of 20 small stamps, for example, costs $20.60), it’s a small price to pay for a unique wedding detail.

And for an easy way to tie everything together, aside from sending matching stationery, purchase the same stamp in bulk.  Use the same style stamp for your save-the-dates, thank you cards, and any other item included in your stationery repertoire.  It’s a simple way to ensure your theme remains constant.  But if you prefer variety, stamps with “RSVP” or “You’re Invited” are also available.

Which stamp will look perfect on your wedding invitation?
