Consultant Corner: Q&A

Q: "My FH has 2 children from a previous relationship and he wants to include them in our wedding. His daughter is 10 and his son is 6. What role should they have?"

A: First off, find out if the children want to take part in your wedding day. If they are forced to participate you may not be pleased with the outcome. The age of a child determines their role in a wedding. Since his daughter is too old to be a flower girl and too young to be a bridesmaid she can be a junior bridesmaid. His son is between 3-7 so he can act as ring bearer.

Canvas Your Wedding

Besides a photographer or videographer to capture your wedding you can now contract an event painter. Special event painters are artists who capture the moment as it occurs (live). You will be able to always have on display your special day. A nice investment for a one of a kind work of art.
