Does Hallmark Channel Need a Wedding Episode Consultant?

Is there a job opening at the Hallmark Channel for a wedding episode consultant? If so, I need to apply. The team at the Hallmark Channel are big on romance, and I am here for all of it. But, they typically miss the mark when it comes to wedding day details because the brides on the Hallmark Channel tend to carry their bouquets too high.

The Actresss on the Hallmark Channel Tend to Carry Their Bouquets Too High

I try not to be too critical, but I cannot help myself. I work in the wedding industry, so I cannot ignore the details. What details? Well, the brides in most Hallmark Channel movies hold their bouquets entirely too high. In fact, some movie scenes will showcase the bride holding her bouquet as high as her neck. When that happens, you cannot see the bride’s gown; her arms look bigger; and her shoulders look tight, which makes her look tense. This is not a good look for the bride.

The actress playing the bride should hold her wedding bouquet right at or below her belly button. If she has a long torso, she should simply try to curve her arms slightly. If the actresses at Hallmark followed these tips, viewers would be able to see how the bouquet complements the beautiful and romantic wedding gowns they are wearing (just like our beautiful bridesmaid in the picture above). ♥️

The Actors on the Hallmark Channel Tend to Wear Their Boutonnieres Incorrectly

Again, I wish I could unsee it, but I am a wedding planner. I can’t help myself. So, here is the deal: When you pin on a boutonniere, it should be pinned near the center of the left lapel of the tuxedo jacket or suit jacket. You want to pin it just above the heart. You can use the existing buttonhole, if available, or you can pin through the thickest part of the flower’s stem on the backside of the lapel. When you are pinning the boutonniere on, ensure that the flower is positioned to your right, and I recommend that you use two floral pins to secure the stem.
