In order for the bride's preparations to really bring joy, you should think about it from the moment you submit your application to the registry office. Proper organization down to the smallest detail is the key to a successful and happy wedding day that will not be forgotten for many years to come.

Choosing and booking a hotel room

You should choose a hotel with a convenient transport interchange, so that during the departure of the wedding procession towards it or to the registry office you do not get stuck in a traffic jam, you should take into account the interests of the guests, maybe it will be more convenient for someone to stay at the hotel rather than go home after the celebration, how convenient it will be to get there specialists such as makeup artist, stylist and photographer. Such seemingly small things at first glance, but they are so important that further work by each individual can disrupt the overall picture.

It is worth paying attention to the spaciousness of the hotel room, the style of the interior, the lighting in the room, etc. After all, hotel preparations are often carried out precisely because of the quality of the resulting photographs and the opportunity to capture all the important moments in preparing the perfect image of the bride. It is advisable to have a full-length mirror in the room, firstly, it will help when putting on a wedding dress, and secondly, the possibility of embodying ideas for a photo shoot.

Preparing things needed at the hotel for the bride's morning

Closer to the wedding day, you should carefully check the availability of all the necessary things that the bride may need for her wedding preparations. The right decision would be to make a list so as not to miss anything. The list should contain the following items:

• clothes (a robe for a morning photo shoot, preferably one that can be easily removed without damaging makeup and hair, sleepwear, underwear);
• wedding outfit (dress, veil, garter, gloves, jewelry, stockings, shoes);
• personal hygiene products (toothpaste and brush, deodorants, shaving gel, etc.);
• electrical appliances (phone charger, telephone, you may need an extension cord, tee, etc.);
• if breakfast is not provided at the hotel, you should take food and drinks with you;
• passports, wedding rings and money.

Things that will no longer be needed in the future after morning preparations can be entrusted to the hotel for storage, or given to one of the relatives who can deliver them home.

Benefits of a bride's morning at a hotel

Morning together of the bride and groom

Many couples want to spend the morning of their wedding day together. The tradition of separating the bride and groom the night before the wedding is still relevant, but it is not at all necessary. Joint gatherings often precede an intimate celebration or a wedding for two.

Hotel

A hotel room as a place for wedding gatherings has a number of advantages over your own apartment:

• Does not require cleaning, no need to take out unnecessary things that will interfere with the work of wedding specialists.
• You can find a spacious and bright room, well suited for a stylist’s work and for photographing the bride’s morning, but your own living space cannot be altered.
• Beautiful interior in a certain style.
• There is no need to clean up the consequences of the buffet table and preparations; the hotel staff will do everything for you.

If you want to spend the morning together at a hotel, then it would be logical to stay there overnight. Rent a room for a day and enjoy your last romantic evening as a bride and groom. A change of scenery will perfectly set the mood for the holidays. You can take a bubble bath, watch a good movie, have a candlelit dinner. And don't forget to get enough sleep. In order to be on time and not rush anywhere in the morning, we advise you to postpone the official ceremony at the registry office to another day or schedule the painting no earlier than noon.

You can invite the photographer to come early so that he can take pictures of you before the makeup artist and hairstylist add your wedding beauty. For example, during breakfast. At the same time, both the groom and the bride recently woke up, put on their dressing gowns and are not yet as perfect as after the golden hands of master stylists, thanks to which the morning photos will turn out to be as natural and sincere as possible.

Studio

The studio is also well suited for morning shooting. It is more spacious than a hotel room, and, as a rule, studios have large windows, which means a lot of natural light. These are ideal conditions for work as a makeup artist and photographer. In addition, the interior of the studios is neutral and does not distract attention from the main characters of the photo shoot - the bride and groom.

You can use the studio for thematic photography. A decorator will help you realize your ideas. It can be anything, from racy photos in a milk-filled bathtub to a mesmerizingly dramatic gothic story in dark colors. Any of your fantasies deserves to become a reality on this special day!

Apartments

If you don’t want to spend the morning at home, and the hotel room seems not cozy enough for you, give preference to apartments with designer renovations. Tastefully selected decorative details and furniture will create a beautiful and stylish environment around you. In such an environment, it is easy to shoot heartfelt shots, a cozy home story, where your sincere emotions will be in the foreground.

Nature

An option for risky couples who are not afraid of weather surprises. Morning photography in nature is suitable for a rustic or eco-wedding, as well as if your holiday will take place in a country area. Furniture and interior details, standing in the middle of a forest, field, green lawn or on the shore of a pond, create a unique corner for two among natural beauty. It is always unusual and looks very beautiful in the photo. But be sure to have a backup plan in case of severe weather.

Getting ready for the bride and groom together

Many people wonder whether it is possible to get together in a hotel. Or, for example, the bride does not want the groom to see her before she is completely ready. What to do in such a situation? There are several scenarios for the bride's morning at the hotel for such a case:

• The bride and groom gather in the same hotel room. Since a photo shoot for the groom requires much less time than for the bride, all such shooting can be completely combined. And even make the photographs look as if the newlyweds were gathering in different places. Playing with the hotel environment from different angles.
• The bride and groom gather in different rooms of the same hotel. Thus, the groom does not see the bride while she is getting ready. And you can easily move from one room to another to take photos and videos. So the groom can take part in organizational matters, if required.
• The bride's preparations take place at the hotel, and the groom comes to the bride from home. I also do this quite often. This way you can save on a second hotel room. It's up to you to decide how to proceed. In any case, this will not affect the result of the photo shoot. Only in the third option there will be no photos from the groom's preparations.

What to look for when choosing a hotel for getting ready for the bride in Moscow

Moscow is a very convenient city for choosing a hotel for a photo shoot on the morning of the bride, since in every corner there is a suitable decent option. But you need to approach the choice of a hotel logically and remember some characteristics of hotels:

1. Star rating of the hotel. This is a very important factor. And it is better to choose a Hotel with at least 4 stars. But if you have your eye on a three-star hotel, then it is better to check it not only on the pictures from the booking, but also to get to it before the Wedding day to see the rooms
2. The hotel room should have large windows. To have plenty of daylight
3. The room must be spacious for at least 4 people.
4. Rooms where almost the entire area is occupied by a bed are not very suitable for a good photo shoot.
5. The hotel is easily accessible. Especially if you choose a limousine as your transportation option.
6. It is better to choose not a standard room, but a higher class - luxury, junior suite.

If you are in doubt about which hotel to choose, then when ordering my services as a wedding photographer, I will always suggest good hotel options. And I’ll share my experience, which hotels I’ve already been to. But, of course, when choosing a hotel for a photo shoot on the morning of the bride, you need to remember the rule that price matters!
