Maud DeLes Lancaster has turned her organizational skills into a small business of a wedding planner.
Soireé takes stress off bride, family By Steve Beavers sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com Maud DeLes Lancaster is in the stress relief business. For brides and their mothers. The former owner of Waldron Street Market has been operating Soiree’ Events, Floral and Design just over a year. The small business provides couples with wedding
PA G E 8
planning from A to Z, according to Lancaster. “I missed being in the middle of things after I sold the business (Waldron Street Market) and was looking for something to do,” said the Millsaps College graduate. She didn’t want to do just anything. It had to be something part-time where she could still have time for her family. A lover of the aspects of organization, the mother of three was drawn to the field of event planning.
CROSSROADS BRIDAL 2012
Features “For some, planning a special event such as a wedding can be stressful,” said Lancaster. “My line is, you don’t have to worry about anything. My job is to make all of this happen.” With the wedding days of only mints and cake long gone, Lancaster is able to coordinate the big event and take a huge load off the family. “Weddings today encompass so much that people see they need someone to help them pull it together,” said the planner. “I love taking care of those details so the mother and bride can enjoy the experience.” Lancaster, who received an Elementary Education degree from Millsaps, offers a wide range of planning. On the wedding side of the business, she can help with such things as: wedding design and coordination, invitation addressing, rehearsal dinners, bridesmaids’ luncheons, sanctuary arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres, pew arrangements, entrance arrangements, music selection, wedding direction and wedding programs. Lancaster can also coordinate the reception end of the event with floral centerpieces, guest table arrangements, coordination of tents/rental supplies, catering, wedding cakes, food staging, lighting, music and transportation. “I offer anything from beginning to end,” said Lancaster. “The thing I enjoy the most is stepping in and taking the planning off their plate.” Currently working on four weddings, Lancaster has a notebook with details for each wedding she plans. “I don’t go anywhere without a notebook,” she said. The planner usually takes on 1-3 weddings a month depending on the size of the event. The Soiree’ Events, Floral, and Design owner will not book two weddings on the same day. “I want to give all my focus to that one wedding,” she said. “It’s important they have 100 percent of my attention.” Lancaster’s planning team consist of a floral designer, some who specifically works with bouquets and boutonnieres, three people who assist with moving along with help from her family. “My husband (Ken) is always there to help and my family is definitely involved,” she said. Weddings today have so many trending routes to go, according to Lancaster. Couples are having a wedding candy bar with tall glasses filled with candy, as well as a photo booth and specially decorated children’s table. Even leaving has become a big deal for the newlyweds. “No longer do they just run out to the car,” said the wedding planner. “I have done everything from sparklers, pom poms to cowbells.”
“I love hearing the bride say ‘it was everything I dreamed of.’ Weddings are not about details, it’s about that special relationship being bonded.” Maud DeLes lancaster Soireé Events, Floral and Design
On that special day, some things are going to happen that is out of the planner’s control. “It doesn’t matter how many times you cross your T’s and dot your I’s, something happens,” she said. “You have to be tough and hang with it when those unexpected things happen ... it always comes together in the end.” Lancaster has already been involved in 8-10 weddings since starting her new job. Each one the client has gone away more than satisfied. “I love hearing the bride say ‘it was everything I dreamed of,’” she said. “Weddings are not about details, it’s about that special relationship being bonded.” Something a detailed person like Lancaster knows how to make happen.

CROSSROADS BRIDAL 2012
By Bobby J. Smith bjsmith@dailycorinthian.com Annette Yancy, the owner and operator of Lola’s Cheesecakes, is a full-service caterer. A while back, she decided to follow her dream and take her love of cooking to a new level. She began with cheesecakes. Over an eight-month period, Yancy perfected her recipe and technique, enlisting the help of her friends and family — and striving to bake the perfect cheesecake. Now she’s staying busy with her business catering weddings, receptions, small events. For over a year she has been the owner and operator of Lola’s Cheesecakes. In her job she bakes wedding cakes, handles decorations and many other event-related tasks. She bakes everything from a single cheesecake for a family to 500 cheesecakes for
In the Kitchen a fundraising event. Along the way, she’s picked up some tips that can make all the difference in the world when it comes to working with a catering company for a wedding or other event. • Allocate plenty of time depending on the size of the event. Yancy said she needs a day’s notice on a single cheesecake, but for a wedding, she needs to know at least two weeks in advance. The basic rule is the more time the caterer has to make sure everything is just right, the better the result will be. • Talk with the caterer. Communication is crucial. “The client doesn’t
need to be talked into anything by the caterer,” said Yancy. “This needs to be exactly what the client wants.” • Sample the menu. While many caterers provide free simple samples, companies like Yancy’s offer a sample bar. For a small charge that covers the price of the food, wedding planners can find out exactly what they’re getting into. • Make sure the cost is up front. Meet with the caterer to make sure the costs of catering the wedding is up front and there will be no “jump up” charges. “People need to know exactly what they’re paying for and how much it’s
going to cost,” said Yancy. • Don’t hesitate to ask questions. While many people are often nervous about asking questions, a caterer is well connected with many people involved with all the facets of a wedding, including the entertainment. • Be certain to ask for at least two references from previous events the caterer has catered. Make sure the caterer you choose has a kitchen facility that has a current, passing inspection certificate from the State Health Department. (Find out more about Lola’s Cheesecakes at www.lolascheesecake.com.)
Wedding expense: Who pays for what? Bride’s Parents You serve as a host and hostess of the reception and pay for all if not part of it. This is part of the reason your name should go at the top of wedding invitations. Your budget will determine the size of the reception and probably the wedding ceremony. Talk to your daughter, your future son-in-law and his family about who is responsible for paying or what and how deep the pocketbook will be. Any expenses not specifically spelled out to be paid by others in the wedding party are assumed to be yours.
Groom’s Parents The rehearsal dinner is typically your major expense. Travel and lodging for your family, and the groom’s cake costs are yours as well. A great way to get two families off on the right foot is to offer to cut a check written out to the bride’s parents.
Bride It’s your wedding but it’s also your pocketbook. Set a budget and stick to it. Work with your parents on the
your pocket. You need to purchase a unique, special gift for the bride to be given right before the wedding — years down the road you will be glad you did. You should also purchase gifts for your groomsmen. Double and triple check with your bride to make sure who is paying for what.
Bridesmaids price of your dress, flowers for ceremony, flower stand rental, candles, candle stand rental, invitations, wedding programs, napkins, church fee, reception location rental, janitor, photographer, wedding cake, bridesmaid luncheon, music for wedding, music for reception . . . and the list goes on and on. Don’t forget you need to buy a ring for the groom.
Groom The ring, marriage license, flowers for the women of the wedding party and the mothers, boutonnières for groomsmen, clergy fees, blood test and the honeymoon come out of

Your gown and shoes, travel to the wedding, lodging, gift for groom are your responsibility. Offer to throw a bridesmaid breakfast and invite the bride and groom’s mothers.
Groomsmen Your formal wear and shoes, travel to the wedding. lodging, gift for bride and the bachelor party are costs you should absorb.

Susan Smith made a bouquet of brooches for her daughter’s wedding day.
Brooch bouquets have special meaning for brides By Steve Beavers sbeavers@dailycorinthian.com Susan Smith sees herself as an athome creative person. Her daughter pictures the same thing. “She can come up with anything I want her to make one way or another,” said daughter Molly Young. The one thing that Young wanted her mother to make was a brooch bouquet for her wedding with husband Clay Young in June of last year. Molly Young had come across the type of bouquet on the Internet and wanted one for her special day. “I just showed her a picture and she said yes,” said Molly. “I thought you just stuck brooches PA G E 1 8
in a styrofoam ball,” added Smith with a laugh. “Boy, was I wrong.” Each brooch had to be hand wired like a long stemmed rose and wrapped with floral tape. Smith estimates she spent 30-40 hours working on the gift for her daughter. “It was fun to do and Molly was so excited when I finished,” said the bride’s mother. “I wouldn’t take anything for it.” The unique bouquets are popular in California and can cost anywhere from $300 to $1,000, according to Smith. The 61-year-old mother came up with the idea to get family and friends involved. Around 70 brooches were sent to decorate the bouquet. “I received so many and all of them had some special meaning,” said CROSSROADS BRIDAL 2012
Smith. Most of the brooches were pink pearls along with gold and rhinestone. There was a script CocaCola because of her love of Coke, a rhinestone dog bone due to the fact both bride and groom raise English Springer Spaniels, and even a “I Love Lucy” one. “It was just what I wanted and I love it,” said Molly. Smith also added a locket with the couple’s photo inside to the handle of the four-pound bouquet -- now in a display cabinet. “This is a wonderful heirloom tradition,” said Smith. “Hopefully, one day Molly and Clay can pass on the tradition to their daughter or daughter-in-law.”
Planning the perfect day begins year in advance Your wedding day will be here before you know it. If you want to be ready and have your special day run smoothly, you have to be organized. Use this checklist to help you keep all of your arrangements in order.
6 to 12 Months Before the Wedding • First things first. . . determine your wedding date. • Choose the style and formality of your wedding that best suits your lifestyle and personality. “Classic Formal,” “Formal,” “Semi-Formal” or “Informal.” • Discuss your wedding budget. “Who pays for what?” Will your parents contribute? • Choose a color scheme and theme. • Explore possible chapels, churches or other locations. (See page 5.) Be sure to put a security deposit on your desired selection. Remember, to guarantee your favorite wedding and reception site, reservations must often be made a year or more in advance. • Choose your honor attendants, bridesmaids, groomsmen, and ushers. • Select a bridal gown and veil to reflect your personality and style. When you find the gown of your dreams, order it immediately. It often requires a minimum of three to four months for a special order gown to arrive from the factory. Allow additional time for alterations and final fittings. Be prepared to make at least a 50 percent deposit. There are no refunds on wedding gown purchases. Be sure of your selection! If it is a one-of-a-kind gown and no longer reorderable, or on a sale rack, buy it today. In some areas, rental of your wedding gown may be an option to consider. • Select your bridesmaid gowns and accessories. Place gown orders, for each maid, at the same time, to assure an identical dye lot. • Interview caterers, if not already included in your favored reception site. Once you have made your final choice, be sure to secure the date with a signed contract and a security deposit. Here again, be certain of your selection, as your deposit may well be
nonrefundable in the event you cancel or change your date. • Compile your guest list. Remember, you have five lists to combine and refine. Yours, his, your family’s, his family’s and your master list of the four. When the guest list must be kept to a specific or limited number, be sure to give your families the number of guests they may add to their list. Do this when you request the list, rather than after you receive it, to keep from having hurt feelings in the event you must eliminate names. • Begin interviewing wedding photographers, videographers and musicians. In many areas, it may behoove you to make your selection and put a deposit on your date to insure their availability for your event.
