In my shooting Wedd days, pre photoshop...

I would try to remember to shoot wide open with my Hassy. That meant 2.8 with the 80mm or f/4 with the 150mm. To blow out the background(out of focus). But in any case the Bride sometimes apprecieated seeing her friends expressions, behind her.
BTW great expression!!! In the wedding biz the term "Expression Sells" was our motto. All young brides are in LOVE. you fool....
I really dig shot 3 (so angelic) and shot 5 has that 5x5 square Hassy look.
Now today with photoshop, I see that you are good at outlining the bride and veil cutout. I would try to use Gaussian Blur in filters under Blur. It has the feel of shooting with lens wide open.
Clic on it a box opens choose preview and slide bar to right changing the radius to something natural. Thats it!!!
Make sure the Bride sees your shot I'm sure she is going to love it.
