OMETHING OLD BECOMES SOMETHING NEW AGAIN WHEN YOU REPURPOSE EVERYDAY ITEMS FOR YOUR WEDDING SETTING.

Most settings follow a general decorating rule. Take something old, rustic or unfinished, and pair it with something beautiful and elegant to create the new enchanted rustic wedding theme. Too much old is drab, too many new things are pretentious.

Here we have four different looks, all stunning uses of fabrics, wood and flowers to create an elegant theme that guests will talk about for days.

Has burlap ever looked so elegant? Weddings are taking on a mind of their own with this rustic enchanted look. From burlap draping and bright yellow daisies to Mason jar vases on tree stumps, this rustic look is quite a statement. Your guests will enjoy the natural setting from day into the evening with twinkle lights.

Creating a huppah requires the same supplies and skill as creating an arch.

A rustic arbor or huppah made of logs goes from old to enchanting when flanked with beautiful springtime blooms of roses, ruscus, berries and lilac. The fragrant flowers with the drape of an heirloom sheer or lace cloth gives the setting a special meaning for all of your guests.

If you haven’t seen all of the latest uses for painter’s drop cloths from the hardware store, check out the latest ideas on Pinterest. You will agree that the best place to start planning your rustic wedding decorating is at your local home or hardware store.

Worthy of a royal wedding: fragrant garden roses, berries and ruscus make a statement far from minimalism.

Our favorite blooms for the spring used to create the most enchanting heirloom bouquets Peonies - large blushing pallets of white and pink make a statement by themselves or in a bouquet of other textures.

Garden Roses - not just roses, but the large garden roses found in the Gardens of Giverny in shades of pink and peach.

Sweet Peas - fragrant purple flowers used to highlight the peonies and garden roses. If your wedding has a lilac theme, carry a bunch of sweetpeas tied with a satin ribbon for a soft sweet look.

Creating Memories That Last & Bloom

Floral & Gifts

Ranunculus - a perfect little round flower in spring colors that pairs well with garden roses and baby’s breath.

Hydrangeas - large delicate blooms that make a statement all on their own.

If you are looking for a highlight color other than white or blue, this flower is easily painted with floral paint found at your local craft store.

RusticCakes In Good Taste

BY CANDACE DONOTELLO

There’s something about figs on a cake that takes you back to simpler times.

When you are looking for something to give your plain, rustic cake some interesting texture, try adding fig preserves to the filling and topping the cake with quartered figs and berries. Top it off with a little greenery, or even a spray of roses.

e c n a D The Night

BY CANDACE DONOTELLO

Good music will set the mood you want at your wedding whether you choose to book a band or hire a DJ.

T

here are pros and cons for each, and no matter which you choose, take the time to listen to their work to make sure the performance will meet all of your expectations on your special day. DJs are less expensive to hire and use less room than a band. They are able to provide a variety of music and styles and are more likely to accommodate any last minute requests.

A good DJ can gauge the mood of your guests and pick music accordingly, going

16

back and forth between background music and dance hits. They also can play for longer periods and are able to schedule music even when they take their break.

A DJ can be just as charismatic as a band but the performance vibe just isn’t the same. Also, some genres, such as big band, really do sound better when there are live musicians playing.

If you love live performances or a particular type of music, a band will be a better choice.

Band members can interact with your guests and put on

Away

a fabulous show in addition to providing great music. You also have the flexibility of asking them to update an older song or to play a song in a different style.

On the flip side, bands tend to be more expensive and don’t have as long a playing period. During breaks, you won’t have any music at all unless you provide it. You are limited to the songs the band knows and if you have a special request not in their repertoire, it may cost extra for them to learn it. Smaller venues may have a hard time finding space for a band and you could wind up with a crowded dance floor and reception area.

The earlier you start your search the better; talented bands and DJs book far in advance. With a little persistence and a sense of what you want, you’ll find the perfect music to dance the night away!

Spring Bridal

A COLLECTION BY OLEG CASSINI

BY SUZANNE FOX

Christmas 1936, the day Oleg Cassini arrived in New York, was the beginning of a new fashion era. His sparse possessions as described in his autobiography consisted of a tuxedo, two tennis rackets, a title and talent.

Born with the title of Count, the son of a Countess and the grandson of the Russian Ambassador to the United States, Cassini lived an intriguing life. It’s no surprise that he would follow in his mother's footsteps by going into the fashion industry which made him an award

18

winning fashion designer for the stars.

His introduction to stardom began on the tennis court when he played a doubles match with the head of Paramount Pictures, which in turn led to a job offer as a full designer.

While at Paramount, he designed costumes for stars such as Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Gene Tierney, whom he eventually married.

His latest designs were worn by stars such as Renee Zellweger, Kim Basinger and Taylor Swift.

A model walks the runway during the Oleg Cassini Spring 2019 Bridal fashion show on April 12, 2018 in New York City.

A model flaunts her fulllength veil during the Oleg Cassini Spring 2019 Bridal fashion show.

Cassini brought color to the Tonight Show when he began dressing Johnny Carson in colored shirts.

One of his greatest achievements was his appointment

by Jackie Kennedy as her Secretary of Style. He created the “Jackie O” look that revolutionized women’s fashions and was copied by women all over the world.

Cassini visualized her as an American Queen and Mrs. Kennedy acknowledged that “Oleg dressed me for the part.”

Cassini was dubbed Man of the Year from the Humane Society for his work and care for animals. He created collections of manmade fashion fur, the ‘evolutionary furs.’

In 1999, he was awarded the Humanitarian Award at a fashion show and Gala in Washington DC. In his own words “What we’re designing is as elegant and attractive as fur and eliminates the enormous cruelty that goes on in the killing of animals for fur.”

Geometric dresses, pillbox hats, boxy jackets with oversized buttons and occasionally dramatic gowns. Cassini designed a reported 300 outfits for the First Lady including a Swiss double satin white gown decorated by a single flower appliqué which she wore to the Inaugural Gala Ball in 1961. The dress was subsequently named one of the “50 Dresses that Changed the World” by the Design Museum in England.

Today, even though Cassini is no longer alive, his designs are carried on through his design house with the same flair of style he used to create the “Jackie O” look.

It’s no wonder that Cassini's gowns sparkle, as he once won the award, “Most Creative Presentation” for an evening gown painted in dramatic colors on silver foil. His brilliant use of color and texture is what makes his designs so unique. If you have an opportunity to wear an Oleg Cassini gown on your special day, wear it with pride because as Oleg Cassini said, “My preoccupation is to make women look beautiful.”

h t i W s r o v a F Meaning

Finding the Perfect Treat

BY NELLIE PALMER

When you are thinking about the thank you gift or favor for your rustic enchanted wedding, think about your aunts. Whether they are active in your life and helped you with your wedding planning, or if you just see them on holidays, the thought of what your aunt might appreciate taking home from your wedding should play a large roll in deciding what to offer.

The best favors are something to eat later after the nuptials are over and the last goodbyes are said. A take-home treat that your aunt will love.

Any treat you can make is a hit in a burlap bag. No time for baking? Your local bakery can make cookies especially for the occasion, monogrammed, of course.

A green choice for the rustic favor is a plant in a small clay pot tied with a tag and twine.

There is an abundance of clever quotes to hand write on the tags, like “love grows” or “love blooms,” found on the internet.

The display is a focal point for your creativity to shine with wooden crates and the fabrics and flowers from your table settings or ceremony as a backdrop. Display a variety of plants for family and friends to choose from, they will be thrilled with the thoughtful gift.

No Ordinary Day. No Ordinary Bouquet.

ALTERNATIVE WEDDING INVITATIONS

BY DINA ZELDEN

Of all your wedding elements, the invitation is the first one your guests will encounter, and it will set the tone for your special day. Here are some unique ideas to explore.

 PAPER TWISTS Want to use paper but liven it up a bit? There are lots of fresh ideas. Laser-cut invitations, as well as envelopes, add a delicate flair. Scratch off invitations with fun graphics and a place to reveal important information sets the stage for a fun celebration. Don’t forget to toss in a penny for scratching. Lightweight paper can be folded into pinwheels, cranes, and even that grade-school favorite - fortune tellers! Coordinating paper can be used for origami favors and decorations on the big day.  BEYOND PAPER No need to stick to paper. You can print your invitation on different materials. An invitation etched in wood would invoke a rustic venue such as a lodge or barn. Acrylic is another alternative to paper. If a nostalgic feel is what you are going for, consider printing on and sending your guests an elegant handkerchief that can be used later to dab those happy tears. Is baking your hobby? Try tea towel invitations that your guests can use in their own kitchen. Want to send an eco-friendly message? Seeded paper looks beautiful when it arrives in the mail. Then, it can be planted to become a lovely gift of wildflowers or herbs.

24

 NOVELTY ITEMS Try stepping outside the box with a novelty invitation to prepare your guests for a fun event.

Coffee mugs, magnets, balloons, and pencils are just a few of the items you can print on these days. Smaller items may be better for Save the Date cards, which contain less information and mailing costs need to be calculated. All things considered, you are sure to surprise guests and have them excited about the wedding. In our image-obsessed culture, what better way to invite guests than with a View-Master and reel? Remember the 3D fun of your childhood? You can have reels made with your favorite couple photos and the invitation printed on the center. That is sure to be an invitation like no other!

Your invitation gives your guests a sneak peek of your celebration. Take some time to reflect on your personality and the mood you want to set, then have fun finding an invitation that is uniquely yours.

In our image-obsessed culture, what better way to invite guests than with a View-Master and reel ?

A rustic familystyle dinner calls for simple, comforting food that is easy to pass around and take individual portions of.

BY MICHELLE FOUCHI ESNEAULT

Weddings with a rustic theme have been gaining in popularity.

Twinkling strings of lights and an abundance of greenery and natureinspired accessories transform a simple setting into a warm and relaxed atmosphere for you and your guests to celebrate your special day.

After the “I do’s,” everyone looks forward to dining, but there is more to the wedding meal than the actual food. There is also how it is served. For those who favor the formality of a sit-down dinner but prefer the casualness of a buffet, family-style dining, which features guests seated around the table where food is placed in serving dishes for your guests to pass around, offers the best of both worlds.

LOCATION Any venue that is within your budget and will fit the number of guests you are inviting works for family-style dinners. You’ll need plenty of room for either long tables or large individual tables. The important thing is to not crowd the tables so you have room for all the food!

FOOD, SERVICE AND DECOR A rustic family-style dinner calls for simple, comforting food that is easy to pass around. You can place all the courses on the table, or have a combination of plated and passed food. A popular choice to keep costs down is to serve the main dish on individual plates, then place the sides on the table for your guests to share. Your food budget may be a bit higher with this style of eating because the caterer will need to prepare extra food to make sure nothing runs out.

Though your food costs may be higher, there are other areas where you can spend less. Meal response cards are unnecessary as everyone will be served the same meal. Since everyone will be serving themselves,

When Every Detail Must Be Perfect!

you won’t require as large of a serving team and, because your guests don’t have to wait for a server, the meal itself will take less time, so you won’t need the servers as long. In keeping with the rustic theme, using table runners instead of full tablecloths would add a charming touch. Large elaborate centerpieces will just get in the way of the platters and bowls of food. You can either do away with them altogether, or use small inexpensive touches such as a scattering of candles and Mason jars filled with flowers at each table.

QUESTIONS ABOUT AMENITIES Will the venue supply someone to coordinate deliveries and personnel before your event and the dining room and servers during? Is catering available? Do outside caterers have to bring prepared food or is there a fully stocked kitchen and prep area for them to use? A family-style dinner uses many more serving platters, bowls, and utensils than a sit down or buffet style meal. If your caterer can’t supply them, you will have to leave room in your budget to rent them as well as linens, plates, and flatware, or you can save money by shopping flea markets and garage sales to buy your own.
