Do you have a specific question? What type of camera do you have? What settings did you use last time, that didn't work out?

sounds stupid, but turning on all the lights can help and make sure you dont shoot her in front of a window. use portrait mode if you have it . not an easy situation to shoot in, try to get her outside when you can .

If you flash is not powerful enough then forget about indoor pictures. The pictures will look more like party pictures. How about in garden, in front of house or in nature? Sun in your back. If you have to be inside the house, then turn on as much light as possible.

The blurry effect is a classic problem when you shoot indoors. If all all possible, place the camera on something stable, optimally a tripod, but use your imagination.

Increasing the ISO value is also possible, but it will result in noise on the pictures.

And, search Google for sites about portrait and wedding poses, especially on how models place their hands.

You can shoot in front of a window and I do suggest it, but only if your flash will not washe her out and may I also suggest some sort of reflector. You can actually get some pretty beautiful pictures using natural light. Just watch the shadows and the harsh light.
They sell the silver/gold reflectors very cheap or you can use a large white poster board to bounce the light off of and get an even light pattern.
Good luck and would love to see your pictures!

I wouldn't use a flash unless you have it off camera and know how to use it. I would use natural light from a window if the shot had to be indoors. Outdoors I would find a nice location out of direct sunlight. Either in the shade or on an overcast day.

This is going to sound dumb, but if it is what the bride really wants - you may just need to invest in some lighting gear.

I would suggest getting an external flash...

natural light for shots like these usually work best, and i agree with everybody else - if you have to use a strobe, it has to be from a different light source to make your shot have a heavier oomph in it.
