Re: Best diffuser for weddings?
I agree with Silk that this type of home-made method works well, in fact no need to spend money for anything 'pro'. You can always make the DIY version look better simply by being imaginative.
Expect to lose at least one full stop of light from absorption by the reflector. Of course, for you auto flash bods this won't be noticed but for anyone using manual settings test the output of the system before doing anything 'serious' with it.
I would also recommend using the flash away from camera i.e. held high and to the side in one hand. The foam/card DIY model will be light enough for this not to be a problem. Advantages are: better modelling of the light i.e. 45 degree lighting, and no distracting shadows on backgrounds that are a sure sign of on-camera flash.
