How to Translate Screen to Scene
- Edit the motif: Choose two or three defining cues (palette, silhouette, one hero prop) and repeat with intention.
- Match the venue: Let architecture guide scale—grand motifs need space; intimate cues sing in small rooms.
- Cast the wardrobe: Align bridal party looks with the mood. Shop dresses and accessories that carry the theme without costume.
- Light for the lens: Prioritize lighting (strings, spots, candles) that flatters skin and fabric on camera.
- Score the moment: Build a soundtrack arc—from prelude to last dance—for emotional continuity.
