Favourite Things Friday

This post is for my brides out there looking for something a little unique for their getting ready images.  I LOVE shooting detail images.  Shoes, jewelry, rings, purse, veil, make-up and the dress.  That gorgeous dress that you will be walking down the aisle in to greet your future husband.  One issue I often run into while shooting the dress is that a lot of the hangars are (how do I put this delicately?), ugly!  They are plastic or standard wire hangar and just really don’t compliment that stunning gown hanging off it.

I found this fabulous vendor on Etsy, Lila Frances, and she changes everything!  Her hangars are sooo creative and add a great personal touch for the detail shots.

They range in price from $12-$25 and 10% of all profits are donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund in honor of her lovely mother.

Oh I wish I had scene these before my wedding!! I was running around looking for a wood hanger or something for the pictures and never did find one. Ugly plastic hanger for me 🙁 It was something I didn’t even think of before hand but this would have been such a lovely detail. Awesome find Kim!
