In addition to Andrew`s good suggestions, you might want to do a series of close-ups on hands held together (showing off the rings). Hands help up in the sky with rings. Hands over a bouquet of flowers. Both rings in a rose (cheesy for some, others love it).
If the couple is athletic, you might have them running toward you from a distance so as to show off the bride`s hair and dress. This can be especially nice if they are in the countryside ...or even the city. (watch the heels though). This is sorta a "posed" photojournalistic shot.
There`s nice stuff you can do with shallow Depth of Field (small f/stop like f/2.8) -- which can make an image where one part of the image is in focus and the rest is tastefully blurred. A simple version of this kind of shot would be to have the bride hold out a bouquet of flowers, then have the camera focus on the flowers while the bride remains slightly blurred in the background.
Lots of ideas...so little time....:)
