TRENDY WEDDING DRESS colors for the 2024 season

When it comes to choosing a color for your wedding dress, brides have myriad options. Traditional off-white, pure white and ivory remain popular choices, but modern brides are opting for statement colors.

In 2024, wedding dress trends are embracing a departure from tradition with an array of captivating colors. Here are four wedding dress colors to consider. Pink is a standout choice for brides who want to radiate romance. From blush and champagne to dusty rose, pink wedding dress-

es bring a soft, ethereal charm to the aisle.

Purple wedding dresses, particularly in shades like lavender and lilac, are becoming increasingly popular in bridal fashion. This color exudes elegance and sophistication, creating a whimsical and enchanting atmosphere on the big day.

Blue wedding dresses are ideal for brides who want to add a touch of serenity and tranquility to their big day. From pale aqua and steel blue to deep navy, blue wedding dresses evoke a sense of calmness and depth.

Black wedding dresses are making a statement in 2024. They exude an air of mystique and modernity, making them perfect for brides who dare to defy convention. A black wedding dress creates a dramatic and unforgettable bridal look.

Patterned wedding dresses are also gaining in popularity. Whether adorned with delicate floral patterns trailing down the skirt or intricate bodice overlays, these gowns infuse individuality into the bridal ensemble.

How to find the right

Deciding on a wedding officiant is one of the tasks couples will have to address in advance of their big day. There’s no shortage of officiants, from religious leaders to people who specialize in nondenominational ceremonies. As couples begin looking for a wedding officiant, they can keep these strategies in mind to ensure they find the right fit for their wedding.

With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the perfect wedding dress. However, there are local bridal stores that can help you find the dress of your dreams. Take your time and enjoy the process of selecting the perfect wedding dress that reflects your unique personality and style.

officiant for

Determine the location and type of ceremony you want to have. Before searching for an officiant, engaged couples should discuss the place and type of ceremony they want to have. Ideas may differ, as one person might prefer a religious wedding in a house of worship while the other might want a secular ceremony outdoors or in another location. The requirements to get married in a house of worship differ by faith, and restrictions may dictate who can officiate a wedding in a church, synagogue, mosque, etc. Couples should figure out the qualifications to get married in a house of worship before hiring a wedding officiant.

Take your time and meet with various officiants. When the time comes to interview officiants, speak with as many as possible. The interview process can give couples a feel for what’s out there and help them identify the type of officiant they want. If a rapport develops between a couple and a particular officiant, that can make for a better ceremony.

Consider a friend or family member. Couples have increasingly looked to friends or family members to officiate their weddings. A friend or family mem-

your wedding did you know?

Approximately 25% of couples surveyed said that a friend or family member served as their wedding officiant.

2017 Wedding Report survey

ber serving as an officiant can lend a more personal feel to a ceremony, but couples should first confirm a loved one is willing to take on the responsibility, which will require the individual to become licensed. Couples should confirm the person is comfortable doing so and should not pressure someone into performing the task.

Ask around. Couples who don’t know where to begin when looking for an officiant should not hesitate to ask around. Wedding vendors, including representatives at the location where the ceremony will take place, may be willing to recommend officiants whose work has impressed them in the past.

Songs tailor-made for father-daughter dances

Weddings can be as novel or traditional as couples prefer. Couples who go the traditional route will undoubtedly include certain spotlight dances in the reception.

The father-daughter dance is a staple of a wedding reception. According to the experts at Fred Astaire Dance Studios, the history of father-daughter dances can be traced back decades. The dance once was one last nod to Dad before the bride’s husband became the most important man in her life. Now it’s more symbolic of general love and affection.

Despite what the name may imply, father-daughter dances needn’t take place with a father at all, especially if he passed away or is not in the bride’s life. She can choose any special person, whether a father figure, uncle, brother, mentor, etc. to honor during the dance.

Traditionally the father-daughter dance (and mother-son dance) takes place immediately following the newlyweds’ first dance together. However, some opt to have it after the toasts or before the cake cutting. Couples can make their preferences known prior to the reception and schedule these dances any time they desire, especially since they are frequently preceded by a special announcement.

While many brides prefer to dance to a slow-paced, heartfelt song, this

doesn’t always have to be the case. In recent years, some daddy-daughter duos have opted to put on shows with humorous dances or even entertaining showcases of fancy footwork to songs of all types. The song should match the vibe of the wedding. That said, certain songs seem tailor-made for the times during the reception when love and gratitude are expressed during these bittersweet dances.

Here’s just a few:

COUNTRY

The Man Who Loves You the Most – Zac Brown Band

My Little Girl – Tim McGraw

Just Fishin’ – Trace Adkins

Unforgettable – Nat King Cole

The Way You Look Tonight – Frank Sinatra

Make memories with mother-son dances

There is nothing quite like the love a mother has for her children. When it comes time for a son to get married, Mom has already seen him through plenty of milestone moments like birthdays, proms, graduations and other achievements that showcased his transition from boy to man.

A wedding is a momentous occasion in a family’s life. During a wedding, couples opt to show their love and gratitude to their parents or guardians in many ways, including through traditional dances.

The mother-son dance gives the groom an opportunity to honor the special woman in his life who saw him through thick and thin. Much like the father-daughter dance, the mother-son dance traditionally takes place during the reception after the newlyweds take their own first turn around the dance floor. However, this spotlight dance also can occur at other times during the festivities.

Typically the groom chooses a song with the right sentiments, but the decision also can be a joint effort. There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to song selection. However, for those who

need some inspiration, certain songs are tried-and-true options.

Here are a few:

How Sweet It Is – James Taylor

You Raise Me Up – Josh Groban

Time After Time – Cyndi Lauper

Letter to My Mother – Edwin McCain

Mother Like Mine – The Band Perry

God Only Knows – The Beach Boys

Beautiful Boy – John Lennon

Wonderful Tonight – Eric Clapton

The First Lady in My Life – Paul Todd

Because You Loved Me – Celine Dion

You’re My Best Friend – Queen

Thank You Mom – Good Charlotte

The Wind Beneath My Wings – Bette Midler

Forever Young – Rod Stewart

You’ll Be in My Heart – Phil Collins

Tips to plan a perfect honeymoon

Though the wedding day is the focal point of couples’ planning efforts, the honeymoon also merits ample consideration. As couples pore over the details of wedding planning, they may want to consider these tips to ensure their honeymoon is a trip to remember for a lifetime.

IDENTIFY YOUR DREAM TRIP

There are no rules regarding honeymoons. Though couples’ budgets and professional obligations factor into where they can go and how long their honeymoon can be, couples can discuss and then determine if they can make their dreams come true.

STAY UP ON CURRENT EVENTS

Knowledge of current events can be vital when planning a honeymoon. Far-

away and exotic locales may seem tailor-made for a honeymoon, but only if such destinations are not plagued by civil unrest, conflict, natural disasters or other events that can affect how safe it is to visit. The U.S. Department of State maintains a free, easily accessible list of travel advisories at travel.state.gov. Couples are urged to visit these sites before booking their honeymoon, particularly if they hope to travel internationally.

CONSIDER AMENITIES AND ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGES

All-inclusive packages can be a great deal, particularly for couples who want their honeymoon to be all about relaxing at a single resort destination. All-inclusive packages cover the cost of food and most beverages, making these options both convenient and budget-friendly. When going this route, couples also should decide which amenities they want to access on their trip.

COLLABORATE

A honeymoon may be the first trip couples take after tying the knot, and it can lay the foundation for future collaborative efforts. Planning travel is not always so easy, so couples can work together and make any necessary concessions so each person gets what they want out of the trip.

A’BriTin uses mobile kitchen to cook right on site

Most catering companies make their food and then bring it wherever the event venue is. But not A’BriTin Catering.

What is unique about this catering company, which opened a branch in Alexandria recently, is that they use a mobile kitchen and cook everything fresh on site. The owners, Seth and Dawn Brittain, said the food is so much more delicious and guests can really taste the difference.

A’BriTin has three different brands, but one mission – to create unforgettable corporate, wedding and private event experiences. Brands include Apples 2 Apples Catering, This Little Piggy Catering and Hitch & Sip Bar Service.

Apples 2 Apples Catering offers organic, locally sourced and farm to table food. It offers more of a seasonal menu, but also offers custom items, as well.

The Hitch & Sip is a mobile bar on an old horse trailer. Because the company has a catering liquor license, it can provide this service on or off premise. The mobile bar can go anywhere in Minnesota, which is perfect for weddings.

This Little Piggy Catering was the company’s first catering business. It is Minnesota’s premiere pig roast catering company roasting pigs since 1979.

All three of those brands make up A’BriTin. The A in the name was taken from A This Little Piggy Catering, while the Bri is taken from the first three letters of the owners’ last name. The Tin comes from a catering company in Baltimore, Martin’s Catering. It is a nod to the company because the owners served as mentors for Seth and Dawn. Seth said the company was such an inspiration to them, they wanted to include them in the name.

A’BriTin caters in the Twin Cities metro area and now, the Alexandria area. They can go anywhere in the state of Minnesota, but typically go within a 90-mile radius.

Whether a laid-back, rustic barbecue buffet or an elegant and luxurious plated dinner, the team at A’BriTin can cook on-site so your cuisine is freshly chef-

prepared. Life’s special events deserve this level of detail and attention. And don’t miss our mobile bar experience that stylishly elevates any event.

In the lakes area, contact them at 612-339-0222 or send an email to info@ abritincatering.com. More information can be found on their website, https:// abritincatering.com/.

Questions to ask when vetting wedding vendors

Planning a wedding involves the coordinating many different components, including people. It may be tempting to simply sign on the dotted line when hiring wedding vendors and hope for the best. But the process can prove more fruitful when couples prepare for it by compiling a list of questions designed to ensure they know what they’re getting before they enter into a contract.

Is the date available?

The most important question to ask is whether the vendor is available on the day you have chosen to get married. The house of worship or place where you will be exchanging vows should be set first, and then additional vendors can be interviewed to confirm their availability and the scope of their services.

How long have you been in business?

How long a company has been in business and how much experience they have with weddings can be a telling detail. Experience is not always indicative of ability, but vendors with long track records of success may prove easy to work with.

Are you insured?

Check if the vendor is insured. It can be a risky proposition to work with vendors who are not insured.

Will you be on site to oversee things?

From florists to private caterers to specialty performers, it is acceptable to ask vendors if they will be there the day of the wedding to manage things or if it will be a third party or another representative. Confirm all pertinent details, including who will be there on the day of the wedding, in advance.

What is your payment schedule and cancellation policy?

Understand how the vendor expects to be paid. Many businesses require a deposit up front to book the date. Some may want payment in full a week or so before the wedding day. Others may enable you to make monthly payments for a set period of time. Ask how the vendor handles cancellations, and whether any deposit or portion of the money already paid will be refunded.

When is the last possible date for making changes?

Know how long you have to make any changes to your plans, colors, music choices or other details.

Are there any additional fees?

It’s important to determine if gratuity, travel, overtime charges, cleaning fees or any other charges are included in the contract or if it leaves room for additional expenses.

Is mine your only wedding that day?

How do you handle conflicts?

Figure out if the vendor handles just one wedding per day or if they have staff to cover multiple weddings on a given date.

Do prices differ depending on time of day, month or year?

Certain dates are busier than others. Find out if the vendor charges a premium for holidays or particular times of the year.
