I was skimming through a few knottie bios when I came upon this delightfully adorable bio by mizzouwedding. I really loved the little details she incorporated into her wedding - the locket of her grandfather, the spa bride slippers given by her sister, birthstone ring from her father, the French Quarter photos, and of course the groom’s king cake! I used to live in New Orleans and remember eating king cake as a child in school - I had so much fun feeding my fat baby face and trying to find the little plastic baby (the traditional trinket in the cake). Good times!

She also had these sweet photos of her and her husband post-party. I never really thought about having photos taken after the wedding. I guess I was just brainwashed into thinking that photos had to be taken before the wedding when your makeup is perfect, hair is perfect, and everything else is perfect. I do love these photos though - the photographer captures that it’s closing time and yet they’re still chatting away, the groom’s bowtie is undone, and he carries her off to their suite to end the night. It’s just very sweet.

Honestly, I think we will forego the traditional “exit” and stay to say goodbye to all of our guests, and gather all of our things. The other day I was just thinking about how we were going to do our “exit” with no rental limosine or car service. So after seeing mizzouwedding’s post party photos, I think it would be great for us to take some last minute photos of just Mr Apple and I winding down after a long and exciting day.

Have you done this or thought about doing post party photos?
