Blue Iris offers funky & artistic photos to London brides in a personable package

Jennifer O'Neil offered The Ring one of the warmest receptions we've had... she invited us into her home where she also meets with couples to talk about her work, share ideas and to chat! When we arrived, a couple was just leaving after booking their wedding with Blue Iris Photography, and after five minutes with Jenn we could easily see why. Not only is Jenn stylish, funky and extremely personable... she is also an extremely talented photographer. Sitting in Jenn's office with her, we were impressed with every photo that we saw. Her home is covered with photos of her own wedding and baby that she proudly displays, but she was so excited to show us endless... click for more

Subject: hair and makeup

"I have just recently been to Side Street Salon and they were really great. If you want you can set up a free bridal hair consultation in which they will do a trial pin-up for you so that you can try out different hairstyles. The free consultations also apply to your whole bridal party, so they can come with you and get a trial pin-up done as well. They are also cool with setting up additional free consultations..."

Subject: Registry Card Inserts

"A quick question.... Is it considered tacky to enclose registry cards with your wedding invitations? I have read 2 schools of thought - one being that you should not make it appear like you are requesting gifts and the other is that people should know where they can shop and it makes it easier for them rather than them having to pick up the phone to ask. My fiance and I are pretty much established and don't need a lot. We registered for things that we would like to have and small things that would supplement existing stuff in our house. Any advice? Or what did you do? Thanks! Smile..."
