I get it, it’s your wedding day and you want everything to be perfect. Making sure your dress is wrinkle free is pretty high on the list. Most dresses steam out really nicely. Some have a natural wrinkle to them that will never go away. Those tend to be the more structured fabrics like the silk faille, satins, and taffetas. Luckily, the photography style at the moment is very airy and blown out. This will soften any wrinkles.

When the dress is being steamed it is important that it is done in a quick circular motion. For the stubborn wrinkles, leave them and come back. You don’t want too much heat on one particular part of the dress for too long of a time. Work on an area and then come back to it.

Because with time I realized things differently. I saw our bride Kelsey's Facebook post. It was a photo of her from years ago weighing less than she does now.  (Kelsey captioned it along the lines of "I just love the way I look now so much more." Kelsey is in crossfit and features a lot of strength training posts). When I saw the post and her caption it made me stop and think about what is more important: weighting ___ amount or feeling better in myself.
