Learn from Suzanne and Adam: Suzanne and Adam provided their wedding guests lemonade, sparkling water, and cookies while they took pictures in between the ceremony and reception. Give your guests something to eat and drink to keep them occupied while you take pictures. Use paper lanterns to decorate outdoor areas of your reception like this couple. Hang gorgeous floral wreaths on the doors of the ceremony or reception venue to add a romantic feel to the event. Like Suzanne and Adam, use different height centerpieces to decorate the reception venue.
