THE WEDDING RECEPTION planning and preparation
• For a garden wedding be sure you have enough room inside in case of bad weather.
capturingyourday.com
OK, you’re busy. You want the cut and dry version of reception planning, and you want it now.
• If you’re going to decorate, ask about restrictions.
AT THE PARTY
• Ask several relatives or close friends to act as hosts, greet your guests, to assist with seating and to maximize the mingling. • Designate a table for the wedding party and another table for both of the families. The bridal couple may have their own Sweetheart Table. Or, the couple may sit in the center of the table, maid of honor to the groom’s left, and best man to the bride’s right. Alternate men and women as space allows.
BEFORE YOU BOOK As you’re searching for wedding locations, ask vendors about catering policies, alcohol policies, bad weather contingency plans, staffing availability, parking, decorating, deposits, refunds and insurance. • Book your wedding and reception site as soon as you have set a date. To find your perfect site, call around. Ask for a description and a list of services: caterers, waiters, bartenders and parking valets. Make an appointment to tour promising prospects. • Hotels, restaurants, private clubs and halls normally offer catering services, and may not allow you to use your own caterer.
• Just before the meal is served to the wedding party, it is traditional for the best man to propose a toast. All rise, except the bride and groom. After the toast, the groom may reply. Any other toasts are then appropriate. • Serve the meal or send people to the buffet in this order: bride, groom, maid of honor, best man, attendants, parents and then guests. • Your first dance as husband and wife should feature your special song, usually something romantic. The floor should be empty of other guests. Then come the dances for the bride and her father, the groom and his mother, the bride and the groom’s father, the groom and the bride’s mother. Lastly, the wedding party joins in, then the guests.
• Make sure there is enough room for your guests, and electric voltage for your entertainment.
• Traditionally, the bouquet and garter toss take place near the end. To keep your original bouquet, have the florist create a special arrangement to be thrown.
• Churches and temples may have policies regarding alcohol and other restrictions.
• If possible, invite all guests to both the ceremony and the reception.

WEDDING CEREMONY celebrate your love together
Your wedding ceremony makes the marriage official so you want to make it special. The wedding ceremony can be celebrated in many different ways, and can be held just about anywhere. The ceremony itself can express your individual personality - so get creative. Keep it simple. When planning your ceremony, keep in mind that if you stray too far from a traditional ceremony, you might loose people. In keeping with the traditional ceremony, tweak little things, or have your officiant tell a story about you as a couple. If your officiant knows you very well, this might be the perfect way to incorporate funny stories about you, and how you got together! Keep it personal. You may or may not want to write your vows, and that’s okay. Make
sure that if you do write your own vows that you keep them simple, and personal. Include something that only you and your husband will understand; this makes your vows that much more special. If you don’t want to write your own vows, that’s okay too. Just keep in mind that you can change the vows to “I will, or I do” depending on your preference. In terms of length of the ceremony, this can also be altered. If you are having an early ceremony, then you might want to change the length, otherwise you might have some sleepy guests! This is also true with evening weddings as guests might be hungry, and ready for your amazing dinner. You can speak with your officiant to discuss your options to find the perfect ceremony for you!

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RSVP. Hosting a wedding provides profound insight into the significance of RSVPs. Covering costs for absent guests is not only costly but also disheartening. Make a commitment to always RSVP from this time forward. Once you've made this pledge, stand by it. And spread the word.

SETTING THE TONE
emotion and individuality As your guests are being seated, the prelude sets the mood. The processional march introduces you and your attendants, and the recessional shouts pure joy. Organists and harpists are still popular choices. Some churches may require that you use their organist, or not play secular music. You may wish to include another soloist such as a vocalist, flautist, trumpeter, violinist or pianist. Be sure to contact your musicians early to ensure the date. Consider the space of your hall. Even limited room allows you to use recordings of your favorite selections. If someone close is providing your wedding music, then a gift is appropriate.

THE PERFECT FABRIC choosing the right style
Today’s brides can choose from a wealth of fabrics for that special dress. Lace is the most popular of bridal fabrics, and there are several kinds. Alencon lace, or re-embroidered lace, is a traditional favorite. This is a smooth, floral lace with a “gimp” — a shiny rayon cord — following the pattern of the floral design. The designs are usually small about the size of a fist. For a softer floral look, try Chantilly lace. Made of cotton or rayon, Chantilly lace is also the ground lace for Alencon. Both the names Chantilly and Alencon refer to regions in France where these laces originated. Another current favorite with today’s brides is Guipere lace which is a heavy rayon or cotton lace made without any netting. Motifs are geometric or floral, and appear to be joined
together by threads known in the industry as “yarns.” Many dresses are being made to highlight fabrics both smooth and textured. For a lustrous look, choose satin. For a dress with detail, choose a brocade — an elaborately woven fabric with a raised design. Both brocades and satins are made of silk, polyester and rayon. For something different, consider shantung or bridal illusion. Shantung starts as a taffeta or a satin, and has woven “slubs” - threads which resemble tiny cocoons. Bridal illusion — a netting finer than tulle — is no longer just the mainstay of veils and headpieces. This fabric is being used for skirting on gowns and detachable trains. Let your bridal fabric weave magic into your wedding gown. pbdetroit.com

RESTORATION DRAMA something old and new
Maybe it was your mother’s or even your grandmother’s wedding gown. Maybe you’ve simply gone in for a vintage dress. Either way, your gown’s not quite tip-top, and it needs a little TLC before the wedding. Even a damaged or neglected gown can be restored or restyled if you invest in the services of a professional who specializes in the care of bridal fabrics. Once you find a restorer, discuss tears, beverage and perspiration stains, and yellowing to decide if the restoration will be to your satisfaction. Color changes can be miraculous, and replacement fabric can often be found to match the original. If you’re trying to create a truly vintage look, then make sure your designer is familiar with the period you’re trying to emulate, or at least is conscientious enough to do the research in
order to make any alterations or additions look authentic. After the wedding, whether you wore a new gown or an heirloom, arrange to return it to a gown specialist for cleaning and preserving. Even if you escaped the red-wine trauma, perspiration and other obscure stains will make their mark and become embedded in a matter of weeks. A professional will find stains, know what caused them, remove them without damage and guarantee the work and your gown for the next generation even if you open up your gown preservation box at home. Somewhere in your future there may be a friend or a relative who will appreciate the “something old” you offer her when she re-enacts your restoration drama at her wedding. pbdetroit.com

PERFECT HAIR top styles this season
HOLLYWOOD WAVES A very popular look that can be achieved by having each section of hair curled in the same direction using a curling wand or flat iron. Once curled, slightly brush with a soft bristle brush. Curls can be emphasized using a variety of tools such as hairspray and additional heat. Photo by Amanda Ketterhagen Photography
THE BRAIDED LOOK You might find a braid amongst flowing hair curled at the ends, with braids going through on the top of your head. This romantic look creates a look that stepped off the red carpet. Photo by Corrina Nicole Photography
A BUN The bun or knot starts with a ponytail and is twisted around itself and can sit anywhere. The Hailey Bieber bun, currently very popular, is parted in the middle with a tight, smooth look. Whether you prefer a softer more relaxed bun or sleek look, the result is always a classic beautiful. Photo by Wild Elegance 46 • PREMIER BRIDE

PERFECT PONYTAIL Channel the 60’s by simply having your hairdresser tease your hair into a high or low ponytail, making it look effortless. This will be the perfect addition to any gown. Photo by Amanda Ketterhagen Photography
LOCS THE CHIGNON Typically a low bun on the side of the head that adds softness and will accompany any dress perfectly. This style is best with headbands or tiaras, and veils or birdcages. Consider this if you are having a vintage style wedding.
Extensions and accessories like beaded hair pins or jeweled headpieces add a touch of glamour. Plan ahead, maintain your locs, and choose accessories wisely for the perfect bridal look. A professional stylist can bring your vision to life, making your wedding day unforgettable. Photo by NS Photobook Weddings
FOR SHORT HAIR Consider doing a short bob with finger waves, a voluminous updo or textured waves. A swept back pixie or pinned back bangs add a polished look. Tousled hair while it may be very worked, seems more natural and a great option for your wedding hair style. Photo by Colleen Bies Photography pbdetroit.com

Fortunately, it’s a convenient and inexpensive goal to achieve. Modern whitening toothpaste can brighten your smile. You can also safely, painlessly and permanently whiten your teeth by finding a cosmetic dentist who will design a program to use while you sleep or in the dentist’s office. Once the process is complete, you’ll have the dazzling smile you’ve always wanted.

HONEYMOONING IN GREECE WHY GREECE? SCENIC BEAUTY: Greece boasts a remarkable variety of landscapes, from pristine beaches with crystal-clear waters to lush, rolling hillsides dotted with ancient olive groves. The islands, in particular, offer breathtaking vistas that serve as the perfect backdrop for romance. RICH HISTORY AND CULTURE: Greece is steeped in history and mythology, making it an ideal destination for couples interested in exploring ancient ruins and archaeological sites. Visiting the Acropolis in Athens or the Palace of Knossos in Crete can transport you back in time. ROMANTIC SUNSETS: Santorini, often referred to as the “Island of Love,” is famous for its stunning sunsets over the caldera. Watching the sun dip below the horizon while sipping on local wine is an unforgettable experience. DELICIOUS CUISINE: Greek cuisine is renowned for its fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Sharing mezze platters, sampling seafood by the sea, and indulging in honeysoaked pastries like baklava are culinary adventures to savor together. HOSPITALITY: The Greeks are known for their warm hospitality, and you’ll feel like part of the family when you visit. It’s this sense of welcome that can make your honeymoon all the more special.

DESTINATION WEDDINGS is it right for you?
Some couples plan a destination wedding and combine their wedding celebration and honeymoon. Here are a few reasons why. For anyone with a sense of adventure, there is no limit to the fun you can have when you choose a destination wedding. That’s why many couples are no longer taking the traditional church route, but instead looking for the perfect foreign country, distant mountain or secluded beach. From riding a camel across the desert to exchanging vows underwater in Mauritius, anything is possible with a destination wedding. One reason couples choose these options is because their schedules are busy. Most destination wedding resorts around the world have wedding planners who take care
of the details so that you don’t have to. These weddings are usually smaller. Travel expense and vacation time is a strong consideration for your wedding guests. Destination weddings allow couples to express themselves. Often, for the second or third time couple, it is about making a statement and expressing to family and friends an idea of how they see their future together. Destination weddings can also be taken care of at once. Usually the wedding planner will handle the flowers, photographer, caterer, musicians and reception area, all with your input. In most cases the wedding planner will take care of the marriage license too and all you have to do is send the necessary documents. pbdetroit.com

HOME SWEET HOME buying your first home
Buying your first home can help you build a solid financial future. Your monthly rent payment is no longer going into someone else’s pocket. With each mortgage payment, you are buying into your future and building equity that you will be able to use later. Most young couples face the challenge of financing their first house. Many find the following list of options to be successful avenues available to them: • GIFTS - A financial gift can provide an immediate down payment; it may be from an inheritance that parents may plan to bestow, or a generous present from another relative. • LOANS - Your down payment may be secured by providing collateral or the cash equivalent (i.e.: a car or other valuable possession). • CO-INVESTMENT - Parents can aid in acquiring a first home by signing on as co-investors. They provide the down payment and you make the monthly payments as a form of rent. Both parties share in the appreciation when the house is sold. • OUTRIGHT INVESTMENT - Parents can buy the home and rent to the couple with the understanding that the children may later purchase it from them.

• CO-SIGNING - In all of these categories thus far, parents may be required to co-sign a mortgage note. This method assists the new couple in establishing a positive credit rating without income qualifications. Many of these suggested methods translate into positive business opportunities for both the couple and their benefactors. pbdetroit.com

Sharing the Cost Willingness and ability should always be taken into account when negotiating who pays for each expense. Use these traditional guidelines for some basic guidance, but don’t be afraid to break the “rules!” Everyone should be comfortable with their share and nothing is ever set in stone.
