    Hi, hoping I can find some help I'd really like to find a surprise for my groom on our wedding day. I feel like I've made all decisions so far and I'm useless at keeping secrets so he knows everything so far would like something to surprise him on the day even something small that was just for him. He's mad into cars and he's a workaholic mechanic!! Any ideas welcome! Already getting personalised caketoppers that he picked that was one idea I had!

    you mean he's not been very involved in the wedding planning so you want to do a special gesture on the day? or are you looking for more ways to involve him?
    My fiance is doing the invites for our wedding. he's picking his own buttonholes, colour scheme was picked by me. We're doing the table layout board together.
    If he likes sport, for example you could get a jersey signed by his favourite team. if he's into cars, you could get him an adventure voucher for wild 4-wheel drive course, mini-motorcycle racing, hovercraft driving or helicopter lessons.

    How about a boudoir photo session? Hearing a lot of brides are getting the sessions done on the QT and presenting the groom with an album of the shots the morning of the wedding.

    What about organising some sort of fancy smancy car to bring yous to the church/reception if you haven't already got something sorted? (sorry I'm hopeless at cars :P) Maybe his mechanic friends could recommend his dream car that he'd love to have a ride in. I'd bet it wouldn't be a typical 'wedding' type of car and he'd be completely blown away if it pulled up on the day!

    Any studio offering boudoir photography sessions are going to be good at posing the bride to be to make the most of her positives, hide her negatives and touch up the photos afterwards.

    I've seen some of the before and after shots from boudoir sessions before and they vary from either well posed shots using props etc. to hide the lumpy bits or to full on air-brushing. No one offering the service is going to leave the bride looking anything other than her absolute best in the shots: most will probably tend towards making her look better than she does/can in the flesh.
