LONDON/ST. THOMAS 2013 Cover Winners
Sapphire & Scott My photo shoot day by Sapphire Wood
At the Cover Bride Wedding Event at the Stoneridge Inn, I was in shock as I heard my name being announced as the grand prize winner. Hands shaking, I posed for photos and quickly called my fiancĂŠ Scott who thought I was joking. On the day of our cover shoot Scott and I were picked up in the early morning by Steve from A Universal Limousine. He was dressed in a tuxedo and was both entertaining and professional all day. We knew we were in for a full day of pampering from the moment we stepped into the luxurious limo complete with orange juice and breakfast treats. Our first stop was Hampton Inn by Hilton London where we met our videographer, Doug, from Anchor Video. After our meet and greet with Doug, we went into the hotel to view our room. We were greeted by the delightful scent of the buffet breakfast in the lobby area. We headed upstairs and entered into a beautiful Jacuzzi suite that overlooked the city and the landscaped grounds. We are looking forward to our overnight stay at Hampton Inn. From there, we headed to Steel Grill Catering where we were presented with a fantastic gift basket filled with treats that kept us fueled for the day ahead. We then went to Blackfriars Bistro where we picked up a gift certificate to use on a day when we could enjoy dinner and take in the trendy and intimate atmosphere of the restaurant. We are looking forward to returning in the near future to put our gift certificate to good use, especially after taking a look at the menu! Collins Formal Wear was our next stop and Scott put on his tuxedo. The staff took their time to ensure that Scott had the perfect tux and looked handsome for the photos. After getting dressed, Scott picked out some accessories and we were on our

way again. Our next stop was Side Street Salon where Scott got his hair touched up and I was lucky enough to have my hair styled by the very talented and hilarious Suke who transformed my hair into a work of art. From there we went to NU Hair & Make Up Studio where my makeup was applied with care. I couldn’t believe how they used their talents to define my features and make my eyes pop. Back in the limo we enjoyed champagne as we made our way to Sew Stylish Wedding Works in Ingersoll. With the help of their great staff, I picked out an incredibly beautiful Kenneth Winston gown. My look was completed with a stunning headband, jewellery and veil. As I left the store, I met Scott on the sidewalk and got butterflies because it all felt so real and I could see the love in his eyes. We got back into the limo and headed to our photo shoot location at Elmhurst Inn and got even more excited as we surveyed the beautiful grounds and all the locations to take stunning photos. We stepped out of the limo and met Darlene from Abela Photography who was immediately professional and fun as she directed us in posing for her camera. Her direction and confidence behind the camera made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera and in no time we were laughing and the nervous energy was gone. Less than a week later we were able to see the photographs and we were thrilled with how they turned out! Thanks to sponsors Transat Holidays and Marlin Travel Sarnia we are looking forward to relaxing on the beach and enjoying our honeymoon at Azul Fives in the Mayan Riviera in October. As our wedding approaches, we are incredibly thankful to have been provided with this once in a lifetime opportunity. We want to extend our thanks to all the vendors and sponsors involved. All of you have truly made us feel pampered and blessed. A very special thanks to Bridal Confidential for putting all of this together and allowing us to experience such an opportunity.

your memories, forever
experienced & elegant Why have a video? Before the wedding, many people feel that they don't need a wedding video. The reasons I most often hear are that "it's too expensive", "I already have a photographer" or "A friend or family member is doing it for me." Your wedding day will fly by and years later the memories will fade. That is when you'll be glad you have a video. Some people think that pictures are enough, and indeed, they are a huge part of the day. Having a video complements your pictures by including the action and sounds. I will be right there to capture all the details up close in a way that a stationary camera cannot. Professional HD cameras . DVD . BluRay . Streaming 519-869-6273 www.jenkeatingvideo.com

Why have a video? Before the wedding, many people feel that they don't need a wedding video. The reasons I most often hear are that "it's too expensive", "I already have a photographer" or "A friend or family member is doing it for me." Your wedding day will fly by and years later the memories will fade. That is when you'll be glad you have a video. Some people think that pictures are enough, and indeed, they are a huge part of the day. Having a video complements your pictures by including the action and sounds. I will be right there to capture all the details up close in a way that a stationary camera cannot. My passion is the art of videography, capturing your memories and telling a story that is authentic and timeless. Your wedding video will be a masterpiece to be treasured for generations.
your memories, forever

The large entourage problem is not just for gown shopping. It’s just as dangerous when choosing the cake or flowers.

Tricks & Tips ~ Booking your Hotel by Heather Nantau, Wedding Group Specialist for Sunray Group of Hotels! Do you have out of town guests coming to your wedding? Here are some helpful hints to guide you when shopping for hotels for your friends and family. Choosing a Hotel/location Most people usually prefer to stay somewhere close to the venue so that driving is kept to a minimum. With the additional cost of travel to get to an out of town wedding, the cost for accommodations can be a factor as to whether they decide to attend your function or not. Providing them with a reasonably priced, clean location with great customer service will only add to the overall experience of your special day. If they are travelling from afar they may want added amenities such as a pool, fitness centre, fridge and microwave or maybe even a one bedroom suite. It is common for them to stay and experience the city and learn about your home town, therefore, staying downtown by the waterfront and the nightlife might be a better option. Some families include their furry friends in their travels and this can become an additional worry for some however these days most hotels are pet friendly.
check into www.stayrcc.com/windsor 519-966-1601 or 1-877-225-8664
Shopping for the right hotel Once you have narrowed down your options, I recommend visiting each hotel to get a better feel of who you are working with and see what your guests will experience. Some brides prefer all their friends and family to stay at one hotel and others will offer a choice to their guests. This is ok, however, you may have to be
careful if there is a room attrition. Also, you may want to find out if the hotel provides inserts for your invitations with the hotel prices and information included in your package. Pricing I always recommend doing a little homework in order to find the right fit for your guests. Sometimes the lowest price is not always the best choice and for a few dollars more your guests may be much happier. Usually, the earlier you book the better. If the hotel’s occupancy starts to rise around the time of your wedding, you may notice the price increase. Rates are always based on demand, similar to booking airline flights. In saying that I recommend booking 6-8 months in advance in order to lock in the best rates for your guests. Inclusions like breakfast are always a bonus when anyone is traveling so keep that in mind too. Number of rooms Some hotels will offer a price based on number of rooms you promise them. This can get complicated and is very hard for you to control. With the Sunray Group of Hotels listed above, we offer a set number of rooms from 10-15 with a variety of room types and we will add and make changes as needed based on availability. All reservations must be made by one month prior to your wedding date and whatever rooms are not reserved will be released for regular sale at that point. This may vary with each hotel’s policy and procedures however with us there is no obligation to you. Now don’t forget about your “Honeymoon Suite”! Sometimes, depending on how many room nights you bring the hotel you can
get an even better discount or maybe even a free room for your special night. There are limited hotels in the city of Windsor that offer Jacuzzi Suites but the Comfort Inn & Suites is one you should definitely keep in mind. Things you should know Depending on the time of your wedding some of your guest that are travelling the day of may request an early check-in. Most hotels are happy to welcome early arrivals providing the rooms are available and ready. Please keep in mind however that it is usually very difficult for a hotel to promise this in advance. Transportation Most hotels in the Windsor area do not offer shuttle services. This is something you may have to look into on your own or ask your Sales Manager for recommendations. Gift bags Some wedding parties want to leave a welcome bag with maps and goodies for their guests. Some hotels will charge for this as an added service but we won’t! Other reasons to book hotels Wedding Showers, Stag and Does, Bachelor or Bachelorette Parties and Rehearsal Dinners. If you have any questions feel free to contact Sunray Group of Hotels - your Wedding Group specialists at 519-564-9833.
