distance of two countries is one that is definitely worth keeping.

While Erza lived in Chicago and Marlee in Toronto, the two happen to set sights on each other when attending a wedding in Winnipeg. Everyone could see the sparks flying between them and that’s when Erza and Marlee had an inkling that they were meant to be together.

long distance relationship over 4 years, Erza made the move to Toronto to finish his LLM and be together with Marlee. With this their feelings only solidified. After Erza proposed in Chicago, the couple romanced the idea of moving to New York together and after a lengthy immigration process, they moved to Brooklyn to start their wedding planning and the rest of their lives together.

YOU'RE ENGAGED...

NOW WHAT? WEDDING PLANNING So he popped the question, got down on one knee, and now you have no idea where to start. Let us help! Before you get any major planning done, here’s what you should do. Text by Amanda Douglas Events and Stone House Creative Photos by Victoria Anne Photography

Consider a few dates and a few venues. What do you want your day to feel like? What do you want to remember when you reflect back on your wedding? What are the most important aspects of a wedding to you and your fiancé?

Pick up a great wedding planning binder. There are some really great ones available that include timelines, budget planners, tips from vendors, inspiration pictures, and pockets to stash colour swatches, receipts, and so on.

Once you have a general idea for what you’d like from your wedding, the next step is to work on your budget. Talk to your parents if they’re contributing, and sit down with your fiancé to figure out how much money you’re willing to spend. From there, you have some big decisions to make!

If you need more help getting everything started and your planning under control, we’re excited to announce that Winnipeg is holding the first ever Wed Prep Workshop, a wedding planning workshop exclusively for brides. Coming February 21, this is a one-day, intensive seminar highlighting some of Winnipeg’s most respected wedding vendors who will be speaking to brides in an interactive format, and helping them to plan the wedding of their dreams at the budget they can afford!

BUDGET PLANNING HOW TO WORK WITH YOU WEDDING PLANNER Most wedding planners offer different services and packages to suit your needs and budget. We asked experienced planners how their services can help you lower wedding costs and the conclusion is that they might just save you money in the long run. Text by Kama (Kim) Shuvi

Photo by Moore Photography

PLAN YOUR BUDGET WISELY One of the first questions your wedding planner will ask you about is your budget. Knowing that detail right from the beginning of the planning process will help them keep you from overspending. ANDREA FROM SOIRÉE EVENT PLANNING comments, “A budget should always be the first step in planning; it allows you to make educated decisions when hiring vendors and make decisions throughout the planning process.” Your wedding planner will also ask about your priorities to understand what things are important to you and will work with your budget to provide you with maximum results. Their experience and familiarity with the local wedding industry will benefit you, not only because of the discounts they may receive from various vendors but also from their access to rentals, linens, and décor. “Although most people assume staying on budget means giving up things that are not as important to you, that’s not always necessary,” says AMANDA AT A MOMENT TO REMEMBER. Being able to provide you with your top list “must haves” but also with your “like to haves” is one of the wedding planners’ expertise.

LOV E L I S T V E N D O R S S O I R É E E V E N T P L A N N I N G (P G.108) A M O M E N T TO R E M E M B E R (P G.108) M A D E L I N E’S W E D D I N G S & E V E N T S (P G.108) E V E N T S BY E M M A (P G.108)


THE BUDGET RELATIONSHIP IS KEY When choosing the right planner, you should take into consideration their company’s experience, your wedding needs, the confidence they are giving you, and the trust they are building. Interviewing potential planners is definitely acceptable and will enable you to ask important questions to see if there’s a fit. MADELINE OF MADELINE’S WEDDINGS & EVENTS emphasizes, “An experienced planner should be able to answer all of your questions with ease and confidence.” Throughout the planning process, you and your planner will spend a lot of time together and you will have to trust their judgement in certain situations. Therefore, hiring someone who’s trustworthy, always there to answer your questions, and simply gives you the feeling that everything’s under control is sometimes worth more than saving a few extra dollars.

Tip from Madeline: Be leery of any planning companies that want to charge you a percentage of your budget as their fee. The result would be paying them hundreds if not thousands of dollars unnecessarily. We believe in giving an agreed upon price for our services so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront.

USE YOUR PLANNER’S CONNECTIONS Wedding planners usually work with various preferred vendors from different categories. They know very well the vendor's quality of service and work, style, and price range so they can recommend the best vendor to suit your wedding. As ANDREA AT SOIRÉE EVENT PLANNING explains, “We really strive to customize our weddings to the couple so that it reflects their personality and style. We also work hard at getting you other discounts through our preferred vendors, venues, and other wedding vendors for your wedding. We never take any kickbacks and all discounts are passed directly onto you,

our client.”

If you decided to hire a wedding planner, ask them how they can leverage their connections to benefit you and lower your costs.

UNEXPECTED EXPENSES Unexpected costs will most certainly pop up along the planning process and leaving enough money aside to cover them is always a good idea; the question is, “how much is enough?” By building a cost projection, your planner is taking into consideration all possible expenses and calculates them into your budget so you won’t have to worry about how much money to leave aside.

We asked AMANDA FROM A MOMENT TO REMEMBER to indicate some of the common items couples usually forget to budget for: Pre-wedding meals and drinks - Your wedding is going to require a lot of energy so it is important to eat and drink to stay refreshed and hydrated throughout the day. Vendors’ meals - Proper wedding etiquette indicates you should also be providing meals to your vendors who are working over 8 hours on the wedding day. Gratuities - You should budget about 5% of your budget to gratuities. Some vendors include the tip in their price so review your contracts carefully when budgeting. Alterations for your wedding dress - Dresses normally need to be hemmed and fitted once you receive them which is normally not included when you purchase the dress. Cake cutting fee - Some venues and caterers do not include this in their original price and some places have specific conditions in which they will add this in the cost such

Some couples I talk to are worried about having too much lighting in their venue and this is a fair concern, but I have yet to light a wedding where the guests have been overwhelmed with light. Alternatively, I have experienced weddings that have not had enough. Whether there is not enough uplighting for the size of room or the band is left playing in dark, an appropriate amount of lighting cannot be understated.

Andrea, owner of Soirée Event Planning, had always planned on teaching, but soon after she started as a student teacher, she found it wasn’t quite what she expected.

Taking a year to regroup and working at a country club, she finally found her real passion in event planning through executing the club’s events. Eight years ago, she transformed that passion into a business.

“The creative part is always fun and I love when the client truly trusts us with a project and allows us to surprise them a little! When a wedding day all comes together through the culmination of everyone's hard work and you see the emotion on a bride’s face when she can truly relax and enjoy her day makes everything worth it.” - Andrea

SMALL BITE-SIZED APPETIZERS We’ve all been to weddings where the appetizers are huge, messy, and awkward to eat. We’re noticing that more and more people are choosing to go with small, unique bite-sized appetizers that are real conversation starters. Paired appetizers with mini one-sip cocktails are a great option that quenches your guests' thirst and gives them a little something to snack on at the same time. Imagine tiny lobster tacos with mini hibiscus margaritas or caviar and crackers with mini shots of vodka on ice. Who wouldn’t love that?

EXPERT ADVICE

ARCHWAYS AND CANOPIES Statements pieces are always key to a wedding. We’ve been seeing a few different ways of achieving this and one of them is an archway or special canopy. A floral archway or canopy is one of the first things that your guests would see as they walk in. It creates that wow factor that most people wouldn’t even expect to get from a wedding.

OFF THE SHOULDER WEDDING DRESSES Over the past few years we’ve been seeing lots of strapless dresses. This year we’re finding that lots of the shops are showcasing low back, deep V, and off the shoulder dresses. Off the shoulder dresses have slowly made their way into the spotlight. These dresses create a bit of an elegance and romance that isn’t always achieved with your basic strapless

LIGHTING Lighting is the single best way to transform any venue from ordinary to extraordinary! It helps create the right atmosphere for guests, whether it be soft and full of mood or bright and full of energy. Whether you decide to use LED lighting (which is becoming a huge trend for events) or chandeliers, lighting adds instant elegance and class to your wedding. Hanging lighting from the ceiling draws your guests’ attention upwards and allows them to take in the whole entire room! It also adds a certain level of romance that is hard to achieve when using only uplighting.

ACCENT/SQUARE HEAD TABLES Who said that head tables could only be long and rectangle? We’re starting to see couples finally break that trend and create unique head tables. This includes square head tables, uniquely shaped head tables, etc. Large square head tables allow more space for the centerpiece which in turn allows for a statement piece that cannot be missed.

After the ceremony came cocktails and large games such as Jenga, Guess Who, and Connect 4. Pretty flowers and candles in mercury vases and holders decorated the reception room while chicken and cow symbol cards were placed at each setting, depending on the preferred entrĂŠe. The guests had 'kissing menus' at their table which required them to do more than just clink a glass and the garter toss was to the ominous sounds of 'Another One Bites the Dust.' Finally, with dinner and dancing at a close, all enjoyed the solemn beauty of the Chinese lanterns being lit and let go of, worries carried away by the lanterns in the night.

EXPERT ADVICE

SOIRÉE EVENT PLANNING HOW WILL YOU WORK WITH OUR BUDGET AND CREATE OUR VISION?

Our first step is creating a cost projection, so we can give a concrete budget to each vendor we meet with. Then we source a selection of images and create an inspiration board. This allows us to communicate visually with our couple to make sure we are envisioning similar designs. The inspiration board is also helpful when meeting with vendors like florists and bakeries. It helps to give them a clear vision of what the couple is wanting and the colour palette they are working within. We also try and find unique and creative ideas throughout the planning process that reflect the couple’s personalities.

A MOMENT TO REMEMBER WILL OUR WEDDING PLANNER BE PRESENT AT OUR WEDDING REHEARSAL AND WEDDING DAY?

Professional Wedding Planners will be present for both the rehearsal and the wedding day. It is important for you to read your contract carefully before signing anything with a vendor to ensure that you know what services you are paying for and if there is any cost. We include the rehearsal day and the wedding day in both of our Wedding Planning Packages. A Wedding Planner will be at the rehearsal to coordinate the rehearsal and make sure everyone knows their role for your important day.
