happy birt Kassi What’s your favourite thing about working at Isaac?

I can message the girls on Facebook at odd hours of the night and morning and get a reply. All conversations turn delusional and hilarious.

What was your best moment of 2013?

The August Expo in Mackay. Seeing that people are following us, getting information from us, and generally love what we do is a fantastic boost to keep going and realise we are doing the right thing.

Who has surprised you?

The readers. Social Media. Our team. My husband.

Who has made you laugh the most?

Actually, I think I’ve made Mel laugh the most, because of my terrible spelling and grammar… she’s a word Nazi so I always ‘intentionally’ make horrible spelling mistakes , anything to get a twitch out of her… in turn we are in fits of laughter.

Who do you admire in the industry?

The business sales man. The ones that have to go and sell their pants off to ensure the business is successful. I take my hat off to you all!

What are you most excited about for 2014?

The unknown. You may already know of some major things happening in 2014 for yourself, (holidays, a wedding perhaps...) but the unexpected little bits in between are often the most exciting.

What’s your favourite thing about working at Isaac?

Having married last year, what have you learned in your first year of marriage?

Ha-ha, that’s easy! I can indulge in my slightly OCD, perfectionist side and no one judges me! Except, Kassi sometimes… quite often…

There’s a lot of hype and activity leading up to one of the most precious days in your life, so it’s sad that it’s over so quickly (the day can fly past in the blink of an eye). I’ve learnt that it’s important to take time to cherish your new hubby and enjoy this exciting time of being newlyweds.

What is your favourite article from Isaac’s 2013 issues?

Another easy one. The photo of my daughter Peyton taken by Kath Heke for Issue 2. That image rendered me speechless (and that’s not easy) when I saw it for the first time and made her father cry. Incredible.

What was your funniest moment?

There’ve been so many! Kassi and I cry with laughter quite often. But I’d have to say the DIY cake photo shoot.

Honestly, who can stuff up a packet mix cake better than I? No one. The thing turned out like an Olympic weight discus. We had to start again.

Who do you admire in the industry?

Photographers. I’ve witnessed them in action on photo shoots, I’ve sat with them while editing (believe me, that is HOURS of work) and I’ve seen the end result in their amazing images. I know how time consuming and sometimes difficult it is to produce those images. Having said that, their passion and love for the job is constantly evident, and the rewards for their efforts are pretty damn magical.

What are you most excited about for 2014?

Lots! Isaac growing bigger and better. My son Keenen starting high school. Getting to work in my immaculate office I reorganised recently – yes, I am that weird. And probably most of all, a family holiday to Vanuatu!

You’ve also recently joined the Isaac team, what has been your favourite moment to date?

I’m ridiculously excited to be a part of the Isaac team.

To date highlights include meeting some of our beautiful readers at our research night as well as working on Issue 4 and 2014 activities and promotions.

What was your favourite article from Isaac’s 2013 issues?

Wowsers! I guess my favourite section within the magazines are the DIY features. Particularly Issue 3 where we demonstrated how you could prepare your own wedding cake - it was simple and flawlessly beautiful!

Favourite wedding day memory?

Asking a bride to pick her favourite memory is like asking Carrie Bradshaw to pick her favourite shoes, but here goes! Something that my husband and I always talk about and relive is our wedding photos. After our ceremony, we were on such a high and doing our photos was the most fun we’ve had.

What are you most excited about for 2014?

Without a doubt, our honeymoon! We had to delay due to a number of reasons but cannot wait for our European winter getaway!

Mel

Hip HIp... HOORAY! Often when we celebrate a birthday, depending on how big the number is, we shy away from the day, maybe even pretending it doesn’t exist. But here at Isaac, where the number is only 1, we couldn’t be more excited or proud.

And the thought that one day it might hit double digits? Woohoo, now that will be a party filled with chocolate crackles, fairy bread and red fizzy drink!

Kassi

It’s been a year that’s for sure. We’ve had more ups and downs than a Gold Coast roller coaster. But, every time we hit the bottom of the track, we soar back up higher than before. Good thing we’re adrenalin junkies…

You know you’re doing something right when the workload outgrows the number of staff and so we searched round the amusement park and found ourselves another adrenalin junkie to hop on the rollercoaster. Welcome to our new Marketing Director, Melissa. Hope you enjoy the ride!

melissa

We know we always say it, but in case you didn’t hear it all the other times… thank you. To the business owners and suppliers who have been the safety harness in that roller coaster, helping to keep us on track and not letting us jump ship! To our husbands and families, probably the seat cushions, (probably not the most complimentary of metaphors, but you know what we mean…) our buffers, the ones to soften the blows and cushion the falls.

A few of you sit at the very top of the loop. The photographers, when they send us THAT image - be it the one that makes the cover, or a real bride, or the perfect photo of a little girl - that we just have to have. The readers, whether we meet them in person or they message us and tell us how much they loved an article or love the magazine as a whole. You can’t imagine how much we love the feedback. Advertisers, suppliers and contributors alike, that you want to be part of our magazine makes us so proud. Thank you all.

So, bring on 2014! We hear they are building a new ride on the Gold Coast… wonder how high it goes…

“My favourite aspect of our day was how much love and fun there was. I know everyone says their wedding day is amazing but I really wasn’t expecting it to be so much fun! There are a number of things I will definitely remember as being extra special but I think having my Dad not only walk me down the aisle, but also marry us is right up there as a special memory in life.” - Kathleen.

Introducing Dannika, the winner of our Bride-to-be Health Transformation Competition, with Snap Fitness Mackay and Mass Nutrition Mackay. Dannika has received a 1 year membership to Snap Fitness and $500 worth of nutrition and supplement products from Mass Nutrition. We look forward to sharing her health journey with you, and will be cheering her on from the sidelines!

Firstly, congratulations! Tell us what made you decide to enter our competition?

I saw it on the Isaac Facebook page, and thought “Why not give it a go!!” I’ve never won anything, so thought my chances of winning were pretty slim! I thought it was the perfect opportunity to help me get in shape and be the beautiful bride I’ve always dreamed of being.

Tell us about you and your fiancé, Luke.

meet dannika

Luke and I have been together for 4 1/2 years. His proposal was magical, I arrived home from work one evening to find our hallway filled with candles. I followed them into our kitchen and there was Luke down on one knee. The whole night was planned; dinner was cooked, there was a bottle of my favourite wine, chocolate dipped strawberries and rose petals everywhere! It was perfect, just the two of us in our new home that we built together last year.

Do you have a dream dress in mind?

I have an idea of what I want in a dress, but I’ve been told to be open minded when going dress shopping, as what you want may not always be what you end up getting!

How much planning has gone into your wedding to date?

I’ve booked the venue, ceremony, photographer, cake, hair, make up and bridesmaid dresses! We meet our co-ordinator on Daydream Island next month, I think I’ll feel very relieved then!

What are you most excited about in regards to the health and exercise plans from Snap Fitness and Mass Nutrition?

I’m excited to just feel better about myself. I see it as a huge confidence booster, and to be given this opportunity is just amazing. I’m still in shock! I just want to feel beautiful on my wedding day, and be able to show photos to our kids one day and be proud of myself and what I’ve achieved.

What are you most nervous about?!

I’m nervous about walking down the aisle!! I will be holding on to my dad tight, so if I go I guess he’s coming with me!!

Is Luke excited for you, will he get on board with the new regime as well?

He’s really happy for me! He said he’ll keep me motivated and kick me out of bed on mornings when I just don’t feel like going! However, he has a very big sweet tooth, so as long as he keeps the naughty food away from me!

will you be my always?

How to avoid a clichéd proposal on Valentine’s Day

You want to propose on Valentine’s Day, but at the same time you don’t. Hearts, flowers and clichés abound on that particular day but you just know it’s the day she’s secretly dreamed that you’d propose on. So how do you go about it in a way that will make it unique and memorable while staying far away from clichés?

Avoid red roses like the plague. Just don’t do it. The same can be said of chocolates, especially those in heart shaped boxes.

Unless she has a deep love of red roses or Hershey Kisses are her all-time-favourite-can-not-live-without-them-chocolates, don’t offer up generic gifts in the hopes of a resounding yes. By choosing red roses and chocolates, you will throw her into the mass consumer category, along with thousands of others on that day. She is unique, an individual, a treasure, and your one and only… so step away from the chocolate aisle. Now. And before you consider walking down the card aisle? Don’t.

Restaurants are also to be avoided. Do not even THINK about proposing in one. Chances are the man sitting at the table beside 12

www.isaacweddings.com.au

you, the one with nervous beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, is also planning to propose and nothing would be more awkward than the pair of you dropping to one knee at the exact same moment.

“Oh… sorry mate, you go first.”

“No, you’re right, your knee touched the ground first, you go.”

“Nah, seriously, I’ll wait. Go for it, and… (hearty slap on the shoulder) good luck, mate!”

Meanwhile, two girls wait… or don’t. They may have left the building.

Oh and while we’re still on bended knee in the restaurant… engagement ring in the champagne? Uh uh.

To receive the desired response to a Valentine’s Day proposal, shun all public declarations of love. Head for the hills, head indoors, your favourite beach or just a walk. Whatever you do, do it out of the public eye and in an unpopulated location. Act casual, pretend it’s just any other day. Surprise her, do the unexpected.

• W hy not “find” a message in a bottle on your beach walk, containing a written proposal or if you’re brave enough, an engagement ring.

• Set up a treasure hunt at home with 14 love notes with the final one leading her to you.

• W rap up 14 ring boxes, 13 of them containing notes about your love for her and one containing a diamond ring.

• I f you wish to give her flowers, choose her favourites. The fact that you know her favourite bloom will mean far more than four dozen red roses.

• I f your “casual” walk includes the spot you first met, first saw each other, or first kissed, this is the spot to propose. It’s meaningful to you as a couple and that alone makes it more unique and memorable.

• I f she does love a certain brand of chocolate, take them out of the box and present them differently. Perhaps surrounding that big diamond… image by house of lucie creative

Besides a diamond, be sure to personalise any gifts you give her.

Think about HER, and her loves and passions. She may have a love of gardening, so for a Valentine’s treat you agree to follow her around her favourite nursery in 30 degree heat so she can buy that particular iris she has been wanting forever. Oh look, what’s that glittering in the flower? Oh yes, that will take some planning and cunning on your part, but it will be worth it.

Maybe she’s a keen cook. Buy a beautiful hard cover recipe book for her (possibly one she’s been hankering after!) and inscribe some special words on the inside cover, telling her it will take a lifetime to cook all the recipes and that’s good because… well, surely you can work out the rest...

Remember, she is unique and individual. Tailor your Valentine’s proposal to HER, not the day, and that resounding “yes!” you’re hoping for will be all yours.

font hunting Ideas to help you choose your wedding stationery.

The rules have changed when it comes to wedding stationery and unlike even a mere decade ago, there are no limitations and endless possibilities. No longer is the bridesmaid’s dress the main inspiration for the colour of your invitations. Now you can show your guests, maybe a hint of your wedding theme, but more importantly your personality and style as a couple. So, with what seems like an infinite number of choices, how do you decide? How do you pick your wedding stationery?

Begin by deciding upon your wedding style or theme. Vintage, retro, country chic or urban, this style will set the tone for your invitations. Remember, this is the first impression your guests will receive of your wedding, the first hint of what they might expect from your day. If your wedding is country chic, you don’t want to send them all out buying cocktail dresses because you’ve sent them a sleek urban styled invitation.

Once your style is decided upon, search the internet for styles that suit. This will help to narrow down the choices before you meet with any suppliers. Again with suppliers there are many options, and costs and delivery times will vary. You can expect to pay around $2.50 - $5.00 for an invite pack, each containing 1 x Save the Date, 1 x invitation and 1 x RSVP. When looking for suppliers, ask around, as past brides often provide the most reliable feedback.

Now for some inspiration! Ironically, while the modern rule is there are no rules, the trends of late are retro and vintage, with styles and fonts harking back to a bygone era, albeit with a modern twist. Look around at art works that inspire you to get examples of fonts. Parisian soap label art, retro art prints, or damask patterns are a good place to start.

For the eco conscious couple, why not go all out eco with your stationery? You could go DIY and make your own recycled paper and card. But if that’s too time consuming, there are a myriad of recycled choices now and these days being eco-friendly certainly doesn’t mean sacrificing style, in fact usually it’s the complete opposite.

When it comes to the wording on your invitations, formal is really a thing of the past.

Along with the design, the wording sets the tone for your day, so be as casual, formal, humorous or clever as you like! A quirky poem written together, or the lyrics of a favourite song, anything that reflects you as a couple.

Don’t just stop with the invitations, take it outside! Think about your envelopes, they could be in a pattern matching the invitation, or made from recycled paper, or even in a fun, quirky box tied up with string or ribbon. And because there are no rules, mix things up a bit. Why post your thank you notes when you could give them to your guests on the day, (see picture) saving yourself a time consuming job and making your guests feel extra special at the same time.

Happy Font Hunting!

TIMBER ARBOUR materials Use old timber you have lying around or source from your local recycle yard.

You will require: 2 x 1.8m lengths 1 x 2.5m length 2 x 50cm lengths - for bracing each top corner 2 x 40cm lengths – approx. 15cm square. These are for the feet of the frame

instructions Lay all the pieces of timber on the ground and begin gluing and nailing from the top of the frame down.

Once completed, stand up and paint or stain timber or leave natural if you prefer, then drape in décor of your choice – in this case, sheer fabric with a touch of baby’s breath makes a simple and elegant statement.

Note: Lengths are approximate sizes and you can vary these depending on the size of arbour you require.

stress less holidays

a little piece of heaven Our Editor Mel finds her very own tropical paradise.

I am not a local by any stretch of the imagination, in fact I hail from New Zealand originally, so whenever I travel somewhere new in the region, it always feels like I’m on holiday, even if it’s only an hour and a half up the road. And when my destination is a bay of white sand and crystal clear turquoise waters… well, it feels like I’ve arrived in heaven.

This was my first impression of Hydeaway Bay as I kicked off my shoes and buried my toes in the hot sand. Heaven. Oh, I know beautiful beaches stretch right along the coast, I’ve been to a great many of them, but this one made me feel as though I’d

20

jumped on a boat and was standing on the beach of one of the Whitsunday islands.

After a drive from Mackay peppered by the odd torrential downpour, sightings of many a cow and cane field, I caught my very first glimpse of the vibrant water glistening in the sun and knew I would be rewarded for making the trip. I realised, as I stood there moments later, why everyone had been telling me I must visit… and I wondered to myself why I had waited so long.

Hydeaway Bay sits at the northern end of the Whitsundays, an easy drive from Airlie Beach or Mackay. Quiet and secluded, the

stress less holidays

views are to die for, blue skies and a seemingly endless horizon dotted by green islands in the distance. The sandy beach stretches out before you, big enough to make you feel like you’re the only one on it. You could easily walk just a few metres in either direction and find your own little isolated piece of paradise.

The seclusion does indeed give the bay an island feel and the relaxed charm and character of Montes Reef Resort, where I lunched, only added to the effect. Established in the 1970’s, Montes has on offer just eight beach front bungalows, making this the perfect place to escape for a quiet weekend. For couples needing to get away from wedding planning for a night or two,

to de-stress and remember why you’re getting married in the first place, this would be the place to do it.

After a delicious seafood lunch, disturbed only by the pretty shell I’d picked up earlier on the beach deciding to get up and crawl away, I wandered slowly along the beach. Despite my nervousness about all things that sting in Tropical Queensland waters, it was too gorgeous to resist and so I waded into the pristine waves up to my knees. Ahhh, just like bath water.

Ahhh, just like bath water.

Just the way I like it...

snip snip snip Ten ways to trim your wedding budget.

1. Decide what your budget is based on what you can afford, not what you want. Handmade lace from a remote village in the foothills of rural Italy will not seem nearly as beautiful when you’ve had to take a mortgage out to pay for it.

2. Choose non-traditional wedding venues where you may not be required to pay a fee. Think outside the square and choose the beach, a park, a friend’s garden or your own backyard and save yourself some dollars.

3. Have your ceremony and reception at the same venue. You’ll pay one fee instead of two and you’ll save yourself time and money in travel costs.

4. Have a picnic. This can be done in style and not cost a bomb.

Throw rugs and hampers in the shade of gorgeous big trees in a local park or gardens. Room for the children to roam, and a casual, relaxed atmosphere, what could be better?

5. Depending on your venue, you may not need to decorate very much, if at all. Venues such as the picnic in the park or in a friend’s garden really need little decoration when the natural surroundings are so beautiful.

home nearby (think Airlie Beach) and have your ceremony and reception there?

7. Sweet treats. Opt for an evening wedding and have a dessertsonly reception. Inform your guests of this on your invitations.

A fun and delicious way to keep to your budget!

8. Forgo the bubbles. You can pay a lot of dollars for bottles of champers, and all just for a few toasts. Guests can toast with whatever they’re drinking, and their good wishes will still mean just as much!

9. If you’re set on live music, visit your local music school or ask around to find if there are any student bands available.

Obviously you’ll need to hear them play first, but you might strike it lucky and have a professional sounding band playing at your reception for a fraction of the cost.

10. Trim the length of your reception. The difference between three hours instead of four or five is significant when you consider how much alcohol can be consumed in that time. Everyone will enjoy themselves just as much, and might even thank you when they wake up with clear heads the next morning!

6. Book a holiday home. If you want a backyard wedding but your backyard’s not so beautiful, why not book a holiday

isaac to the rescue

man style While it seems like you boys have the easy end of the deal, with a cruisy morning of golf, a few ales, then getting dressed half an hour before the wedding, this can lead to last minute hiccups that can jeopardise your day and potentially the rest of your married life. Joking! Sort of…

your mouth and landed on your eggshell blue tie? Soak up as much liquid as you can with a clean white cloth, then blot carefully with 1 part white vinegar/2 parts water until the stain lifts. Rinse with water and speed up the drying process with a hairdryer on low heat, but do so cautiously. Option 2: Have another tie on hand as a backup!

ZIPPER LETDOWN Every now and again, a faulty zipper will appear and chances are it could be on your wedding day. Zipper won’t stay up? Key rings, everyone has one right? Slide the split ring from a key ring through the zipper pull and over your pants button. Zipper won’t close? Run a bar of soap over the teeth to smooth them so they’ll slide smoothly again.

LOST THE RINGS?There’s almost no coming back from this one… but, ask your parents or a couple whose marriage you admire if you can use their rings for the ceremony. By choosing people whose relationships you admire, you’ve given some sentiment and meaning to the ceremony… and your new wife may almost forgive you.

BLISTER BLUES You’ve only worn your new shoes for one hour and you have a blister? If you want to bust your moves on the dance floor later, grab a roll of duct tape! Long distance runners employ this technique all the time. If your blister is just a red spot, tape carefully, ensuring no wrinkles or folds sit on the

Secondly, if they’re hired, call the supplier immediately, they may be able to provide you with a pair the correct length. Thirdly, who’s the sewer in the family? There’s usually a good hem on dress pants, so anyone handy with a sewing machine or needle can let them down.

HANGOVER HORROR We know, it wasn’t you, the best man made you! Just one beer turned into fifteen and now you have a hangover to rival the movie.

Painkillers, rehydrating drinks such as Hydralyte, and Vitamin packed energy boosters like Berocca will ease some of the pain. If you can stomach food, try a banana.

Rich in potassium, they are bland enough for even the queasiest stomach and will help replenish the depleted potassium caused by alcohol consumption. And if this doesn’t help? Well, you’re on your own Sunshine!

NERVOUS TWITCH Suddenly you’ve got a case of the nerves about standing up in front of all those people, saying your vows, and later, your speech. To be honest, those people actually don’t matter. (Sorry folks, but it’s kind of true...) Seriously, there is only ONE person you have to impress on your wedding day and that is your bride. Your soon to be wife. No one else matters. Focus on her and your nerves will disappear.

Good preparation is paramount to a successful day, so plan for the unexpected and have extra items on hand, just in case. Make sure you have help in the form of a clever Mum or friend (last minute sewing) and a reliable best man for last minute dashes to the pharmacy. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. Seriously. No one wants to see you walk down the aisle with your zipper down.

vanilla, chocolate or lemon?

The cool new favour on the block.

Move over sugared almonds and shell shaped chocolates, there’s a new kid on the block and boy is he cool! In the sticky heat that is our climate, nothing cools the soul and calms the hot mind like mint chocolate chip or french vanilla ice cream. And it seems couples are catching onto this with the arrival of ice creams as unique wedding favours or “in-betweeners” – when the ice cream truck rolls up right after the ceremony and hands out cool treats to guests while the wedding party heads off for their photos.

Why not create a little quaint ice cream vendor stand of your own for after the ceremony? Set up a table under a cute gazebo or in the shade and fill mason jars with ice cream or Italian ice and place them in large buckets of ice, bringing them out just as the ceremony ends.

An ice cream buffet in place of a traditional dessert buffet is another delicious idea. Display with a mouth-watering array of toppings, vintage glass jars and spoons, waffle cones or cute cups and let your guests create their own personal sweet concoction.

Another idea is DIY ice cream favours. Put together in a mason jar, they are an adorable keepsake and fun for every guest to make. Your guests will only need ice to complete this recipe.

beat the heat

30

www.isaacweddings.com.au

In regions such as ours, heat comes with the territory. For the most part it doesn’t bother us, but when you have to dress up in collar and tie, or silk floor length gown, it can get to you. If you’re planning a wedding in the summer months, here are some tips to help beat the heat.

The ceremony

• S et the time for your ceremony later in the day, even a sunset or night time wedding. Not only is it romantic, but it’s a lot cooler and there’s no chance of nasty sunburn.

• I f the ceremony is in the middle of the day, keep it short so you and your guests are not standing in the sun. Or find an outdoor location with plenty of shade.

• L oosen up the dress code. You’re outdoors, possibly in a garden or by the beach, so set your dress code accordingly and tell them to bring their thongs for the beach.

• I f there’s no shade at your ceremony location, supply hand fans and maybe even parasols. These could be your wedding favours, and practical ones to boot. Guaranteed to be used again.

• H ave a table with water, iced teas or lemonades readily available for guests. Leave the alcoholic drinks for when everyone’s out of the sun.

• H ave a cooling station - a table filled with the fans, parasols, water misters, cold Oshibori towels and sunscreen. All the cool things in one location!

• F or fun factor, hire an ice cream truck for right after the ceremony. Kids and adults alike will thank you!

Bride and Groom

• J ust like the dress code for your guests, you also need to choose your attire wisely. Men, don’t wear a three piece suit, consider cooler options such as dress shorts or shirt and pants in a light, breathable fabric such as linen. Ladies, opt for cooler fabrics and choose your style wisely. Consider sleeveless or tea length gowns, both perfect for this occasion.

• W ater, water, water. Don’t be tempted to dip into the champagne or beer too early in the day. The heat and alcohol combined could give you a thumping headache that lasts the entire day.

Drink plenty of water prior to the day and on the day.

• H ave parasols for your wedding party. Even if not used during the ceremony, they’ll provide a welcome respite from the sun during photos.

• O pt for a light and fresh menu for your reception. Plenty of salads and a fresh fruit option for dessert.

• G ents, there is nothing worse than a sunglasses tan at the reception. Use an oil free sunscreen to protect yourself during the ceremony and photos. And jump under the parasols with the girls!

Bride

• W hen it comes to your bouquets and floral decor, choose heat tolerant flowers that will last the day. Succulents are on trend right now and are a perfect choice to beat the heat. Consider adding these into your bouquets. If using a florist, they will be able to advise the most appropriate blooms and will most likely leave your floral décor to the last minute to keep it looking fresh for the ceremony.

• K eep yourself as fresh as a daisy with a dusting of talcum powder prior to getting dressed. Keep powder, deodorant and a body spray on hand.

• Y our makeup will need staying powder, so consider a trial with your makeup artist close to the date of your wedding, so you can ensure it will last and to work out what you will need with you on the day. Powder and oil blotting tissues will be a must.

• L ong curls are beautiful, but in the heat of summer they will feel like a woollen scarf wrapped round your neck. The best hairstyles are those that keep your hair up and off your face and neck. Think a soft fishtail, or a loose chignon, or pinned up beachy curls, cool and elegant.

• Y ou’re in love with your wedding heels, but your hot, swollen and sore feet might not like them very much by the end of the day.

Have a pair of cute sandals that complement your dress, so if you really begin to suffer, you can switch shoes and still look glam!

The summer months are beautiful, so it’s understandable why you would choose to marry during them. However, hot and cranky guests and bridal party do not a good wedding make. If you plan ahead and think creatively, your guests and bridal party will thank you and you will be able to keep your cool and enjoy your day.

counting balloons How to keep the little people happy at your wedding.

32

www.isaacweddings.com.au

Checklist Have items on it the children must complete during the evening. *Count the balloons *Count the people wearing a certain colour *Fold an animal out of your napkin.

Artwork Décor Forget the linen, cover the kids’ table in butcher paper and have containers of pens and pencils for them to “graffiti” the tablecloth with!

Cupcake Cuties What child doesn’t love creating and eating cupcakes? Get them making their own dessert in the form of ready-made cupcakes with a collection of icings and decorations. Disposable aprons might be a good option here!

As a guest, it can be difficult to relax and enjoy a wedding when the littlest member in your family wants your attention for whatever reason. He is bored, he hates the green puree on his plate, the “angel” sitting next to him is kicking his shin, and when is the cake coming out??? For the bride and groom wanting your guests to enjoy your day as much as you have, keeping their children happy and entertained is key.

If your venue doesn’t cater for children, you will need to get creative. While hand held games will keep them entertained for a limited length of time, here are some fun ideas that will get them interacting with others around them and keep them entertained for hours!

Pintsized Paparazzi Leave a few of disposable cameras with them with instructions to photograph a variety of things, eg: *The people at their table *Someone dancing *A high heeled shoe

Cutest Cake Waiters Once the wedding cake is cut and ready to be served, entrust this important task to them. It will give them a sense of pride and involvement in your day.

Junior Photo booth Okay, so it’s the normal photo booth, but throw in some cute dress ups the kids will love and you won’t see them all night!

Treasure Hunt If your venue allows it, place clues to a treasure hunt around the venue and set them on the task after the formalities have concluded. An outdoor venue would be perfect for this.

Full of Fun Create a little box or suitcase filled with a complete collection of items - the disposable camera, the checklist, some colouring in pens, ready to go cupcake toppings etc. Label it personally for each little guest and see the delight on their cute little faces when they open it and see the contents!

memory keeper Why you should hire a videographer for your wedding.

You know when something really funny happens in your day and later on you tell someone about it, only to discover they don’t find it as funny as you did? It’s one of those “you had to be there” moments. And you think to yourself, “If only I had recorded it…”

Often when a large number of people gather together, say for example at a wedding, things happen. Funny things; like the page boy accidentally tripping up the flower girl, or the nervous groom answering “I do” for the bride, or Grandad nodding off in his chair. Heart melting moments; when the bride reaches up to wipe away tears on the groom’s cheek, or glances down quickly to see her Dad smiling proudly up at her. So many moments. The first dance, loving looks and murmurs, the sounds of love and happiness. The quavering voice of the nervous speech maker or the infectious giggles of an amused guest.

So many moments, gone in a flash. If only you had recorded them…

Those moments are exactly why you should.

A videographer will capture the shaking hand of the groom placing the wedding band on his bride’s finger. They will capture the sounds of your day, the laughter, the clapping of hands at the end of a stirring speech, or the sound of pride in a new husband’s voice.

In the years following, you can relive your wedding day. You will share it with your children and enjoy them giggling at your fashion sense. You will laugh along with the guests, you might even shed a tear when you hear the dear voice of someone no longer with you. Most of all, you will relive the emotion of your day, every time you watch it. This is what a videographer captures; the images, sounds and emotions of those moments in life that you want to remember always.

Don’t look back on your day and think “If only…”

our happily

ever after...

five minutes with Helen The new owner of Total Weddings, Helen Hinschen, gives us a few moments out of her busy day.

What is the question you get asked most often by grooms? Definitely on the day it’s “How do you tie a tie?

Can you please help me?” closely followed by “What do I do with this flower thingy?!” (Buttonhole).

What was the biggest wedding trend you saw in 2013 and what do you think 2014 will bring?

The biggest trend we saw last year was vintage themed weddings.

I believe this trend will continue throughout the year, however I think we’ll see an increase in opulent cocktail styled weddings, lots of glamour, elaborate centrepieces, and large luxury furniture pieces – think The Great Gatsby.

What’s your favourite moment when planning a couple’s wedding? My favourite part about any wedding is when I finally get to meet the couple. A lot of the time, correspondence is done via email and phone so we don’t get to meet the couple until they arrive in the area. It’s always great to meet the happy couples and see the look of excitement in their eyes.

What are your top three pieces of advice?

• S ecure venues prior to sending out any ‘Save The Dates’

or Invitations, and for those marrying on or by the beach remember to check tide times.

• Set a budget at the very beginning as this will help with your planning. Be sure to keep track of your spending to ensure you don’t go over budget.

• Have fun and relax! Not just on the day but in the lead up to your wedding as well. A saying that I absolutely love written by an anonymous author explains perfectly what a wedding is about: A wedding is a party, not a performance.

If at the end of the day you are married to the one you love then everything went perfectly.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2014? We have a lot going on with many changes! A new office and website. The launch of our new logo which we can’t wait to show off in the next issue of ISAAC Weddings. Most of all, we look forward to assisting couples in planning their special day. We do what we do because of our love and passion for the industry, weddings are a very special time and it’s an honour to be able to share in each and every one of them.

TIMBER FLOWER BOXES instructions Source timber from your local recycled timber yard.

Cut to equal lengths. These boxes are 12 x 12 x 12cm.

Cut base to fit on the inside of the box (once joined together).

While these particular boxes have more complex joins, simpler joins will suffice. Using wood glue and nails to hold securely, join two sides first then the base, followed by the other two sides. Finish by staining in the shade of your choice.

Stencil out desired table numbers. Drill small hole in base for the wire sticks to insert.

Stain with same shade as your timber box.

Note: These boxes are not waterproof so jars or vases must be placed inside to hold flowers and water.

Glue

fresh f lowers

nails

“I was surprised at the cost of the DIY looking props and decoration you could buy for weddings. It was actually more expensive than the traditional wedding decor. We were on a tight budget but didn’t want to compromise on the look we wanted. This led us to DIY, which was actually fun and cost effective. It suited us perfectly, as it meant we could have our decor exactly the way we wanted and see it all start to fit together before the big day.” - Arbour and planter box DIY creator- long time reader, Natasha.
