A womans wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of her life. If thats true, why are the days leading up to this "wonderful event" so hell-ridden and hecktic? Weddings are a womans deepest connection to her own inner beauty. They feel the more beautiful their wedding, the more the brides inner beauty can be expressed. Brides can be nasty, so learn how to deal with them. They will change their minds more times then you'll update the design, get used to it. Designing a wedding website is like designing any other website, only pink...er... and more fluffy.
When working with a bride, one must always remember, stay calm... always make sure they know anything can be changed at anytime, and its never a big deal. Getting that point across early will indeed save the designer hours of crying, and self doubt. Brides can get nasty. When a woman goes into bride mode, ideas begin flooding out like a Roman Seige. Many of these ideas can be tossed away, ignored, or deemed impossible, but she might not be willing to let go of some ideas. These ideas are called "her precious".
Each "precious" to you, may seem unimportant to the design, and even in some cases ridiculous, but brides will be brides, and their fantasy's may blind their ability to design. This is where the designer must take the upper hand, and show the client why this design feature is flawed. If they insist, they insist, after all, it's their wedding.
I'm currently working on my first wedding website with my sister. It's been a lot of fun, and a lot of progress has been made. I hope to have a few pages displayed by the weekend!
