I'll be appearing today at the Landmark Arts Centre Wedding Fair in Teddington. I'm looking forward to meeting local brides and grooms whose weddings are taking place no more than 15 minutes drive from my front door! I've just printed 150 fliers telling the world how amazing I am and I better not read them otherwise I might start believing it.
I'm always amazed that every wedding I go to I appear as a complete novelty to the guests, so it will be good to plant the idea of how a caricaturist works at a wedding - and as I'm next door to the cupcake stand, my daughter has volunteered to come and help.
One of the questions that often comes up in conversations with brides-to-be is what is the best time to have a caricaturist? I'd normally suggest that the awkward period in between the end of the service and the beginning of the Wedding Breakfast, when everyone's starving and the photographers are taking about an hour and a half, snapping the bridesmaids, is a time when the guests really need a bit of distraction - and the caricatures are a nice ice-breaker.
Occasionally at weddings, the couple might choose to display the caricatures in a 'Rogue's Gallery', so the guests can have a laugh at each other's pictures. Or sometimes they are gathered up and collected in an Alternative Wedding Album.
If there's one thing that would make my life easier at weddings, it would be for the mother-in-laws to wear feathers in their hair, rather than huge hats!
As a bride-to-be on a tight budget, I recently discovered an online bridal jewelry store called GlamForLess.com.
Though their website is plain and simple, I found some great deals on jewelry sets for me and my bridesmaids.
I think other readers on a tight budget may also find GlamForLess.com to be helpful.
You may want to check them out at http://www.glamforless.com/ and inform other readers about it.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Lisa Bloom
