One element of the wedding we will not be partaking in is the getaway. Why no getaway? Because we are having our ceremony and reception in the same hotel, and the honeymoon suite is (yep, you guessed it!)…in the very same hotel. I’m a little sad because I always envisioned a Hollywood movie ending to our wedding complete with sparklers and a hot vintage ride (not that it would have really happened, but a girl can always dream!)
I love the

We have not decided how to “getaway”.
One option, if you want a sort of getaway, would be to “pose” a shot outside of the hotel with your wedding party holding sparklers and while you pretend to leave. It’ll probably have to be before the end of the party, anyway, because most photographers only stay until a certain time (often 10pm in my area). So stage an early getaway (sans car)

Thanks, Krista! That’s a wonderful idea! I may seriously consider doing that, because obviously we wouldn’t rent a car and not use it…but perhaps we can stage the sparklers after the ceremony and before the cocktail hour. It would make for a pretty picture!!

Hey cute blog 🙂
We’re staying at the hotel our reception is at too…my photographer actually suggested a cute idea you could do: the DJ announces the last dance, you two are in the middle of the dance floor, you have someone pass out bubbles and everyone forms a circle or square around you. There you go, pretty photo op! It’s staged, but not actually having to go down to the lobby to pretend your leaving the hotel seems nice.
There’s a long corridor to the elevators that we’ll probably have everyone line up along and have our planner pass out bubbles. So whatever works for your space – hope this helps!
