advice
from the
p ro s Who better to give advice than the wedding pros who make up our preferred vendors guide? From your wedding rentals to proper ceremony etiquette, these pros have seen it all.
Beth Dawson, Wedding Rentals The Mustard Couch Beth helps answer the question, "How do I include vintage pieces into your wedding day?"
PHOTOS BY JENN LUCZKO
According to Beth, "I like to take memories like that and incorporate them into your wedding day. The memory with the vanity can now also hold the memory of holding your wedding cake on your special day. Or you know that vanity in your grandmothers home that held the jewelry you always played with? Adding an unexpected unique piece of furniture and making it part of your special day while getting your guests attention can take your decor to the next level by making it memorable. Give your guests something to talk about by using a unique piece from our inventory. Mathew Anderson, Wedding Officiant Weddings By Mathew
It is sure to get your guests talking!
Mathew helps answer the question, "Does your bridal party need to stand during the ceremony?"
planning FOURM AGAZI NES . C O M
According to Mathew, "Absolutely! In respect to the bride and groom, you were chosen to be in that position for a reason. Standing there with your best friend, brother/sister, is one of the most meaningful ways to show your congratulations to the couple. Standing with them, on their wedding day, is something you will never forget."

PRO ADVICE
"Something Old" Advice WEDDING PLANNERS SHARE THEIR ALL-TIME FAVORITE "SOMETHING OLD" IDEAS What's old is new again, thanks to these Preferred Vendor-approved ideas.
RADLEIGH + SAGE EVENTS Ray + Simon Barrett:
"

"
We believe that you can never go wrong with a family heirloom, like a piece of jewelry perhaps, that has been passed down for generations. However, many of our clients now are being sentimentally creative with their "something old" element and choosing an item from their childhood to incorporate into their bridal bouquet or wedding dress. A small piece of fabric from your favorite blanket growing up would make such a lovely touch as a ribbon for your bouquet! The possibilities are endless!
