The following are some wedding video trends popular among today’s couples. ≤ Brief clips and highlights: Few people want to sit through their entire wedding day frame by frame. Montages of key elements of the day are much more popular than a chronological unfolding of the ceremony and reception. Some videographers like to show snippets of what’s to come at the start of the wedding video, then go into more extensive segments later on. ≤ Special filters or film: 808.

can give a wedding video an entirely different feel. For example, filming in 8mm can lend a grainy touch to the video and make it seem ethereal or even part of a home movie collection. However, few people want the stark reality of a high-definition camera that highlights every flaw. ≤ Film chapters: Dividing segments of the video into different chapters allows viewers to fast forward to the parts they want to see and pass those they can skip. This saves the hassle of having to watch the video in its entirety. ≤ Cinematic styling: Instead of a stationary camera on a tripod, this method of filming incorporates different angles and close-up shots to give the video a modern feel. It’s shot more like a movie than a documentary, allowing viewers to feel as though they’re really experiencing the event. ≤ Artistic, indy feel: Film
buffs may want a wedding video that breaks the mold. Ask videographers to create something that would fit in at the Sundance or Tribeca film festivals. ≤ Same-day editing: Want to revisit the ceremony at your wedding reception? Some videographers will edit portions of the ceremony and preparations for the big day in the time between the ceremony and reception. This gives all guests, including those who may not have been able to make the ceremony, the chance to view the nuptials. ≤ Unobtrusive technology: This trend relates to the equipment used to capture wedding memories rather than the actual finished product. No one wants their view of the ceremony or reception to be marred by a big, bulky camera. Smaller video cameras enable videographers to seamlessly blend in and perhaps capture shots that larger cameras could not.

Inspiration boards help bring wedding plans to life Maui planners at WOW take visuals further
Tips to Creating a Beautiful Event:
M
aking the wedding of your dreams a reality may require some creativity. It can be challenging to organize all of the creative ideas swimming around in your head, but inspiration boards may be able to help. Inspiration boards, sometimes referred to as idea boards, are commonly used by interior designers, artists, writers and wedding planners. Such boards can serve a great purpose when starting a new project, especially if all of your creative ideas seem to lack cohesion. Sometimes seeing things together, rather than in bits and pieces on their own, can fuel even more creativity. Carolee Higashino, owner of award-winning Hawaii wedding agency White Orchid Wedding, says brides frequently ask whether inspiration boards will help with the planning process.

Design boards created by Carolee Higashino of White Orchid Wedding help couples visualize their big day. “Our answer is ‘absolutely!’” she says. “With all of the incredible offerings available, this can often be a daunting task.” Inspiration boards can include magazine clippings, photographs, fabric swatches, quotes or literary passages and color swatches. As the idea board grows, you may find a common denominator among your inspirational elements. This can help determine a theme for your wedding or jump-start other planning. While poster boards may be more traditional idea boards, creative ideas also
can be compiled in binders or scrapbooks, which work especially well at keeping all items organized and concise. Plus, they’re portable, which means you can take a scrapbook to a meeting with a wedding vendor and show him or her your concepts for the wedding. Higashino says online resources can be most helpful for coming up with ideas, from Pinterest, WeddingWire, Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Borrowed and Blue, Rock and Roll Bride, Hawaii Bride and Groom and Pacific Weddings, to name a few. “We also have our own
• Stay within the color palette you select throughout your event. • Don’t be afraid of color. Choose colors that make you feel your very best and happiest. • Flowers, flowers everywhere. Feature in unique vessels, custom canopies, on the altar, as a head wreath lei, in your cocktails on tabletops and on your cake table. • Select a site that suits your overall style. Example: A ballroom is not the best venue for a rustic garden theme. • Use wonderful linens, there are so many textures, patterns and colors available. • Lighting is critical, ask for chandeliers and fixtures to be installed with dimmers so you can adjust to the perfect ambiance. • Add lounges to any soiree, sure to be a hit. • Custom bars now available islandwide make great focal points. • Mix up your seating by using square tables with farm tables and rounds. Do the unexpected. • Food and beverage are a part of the art. Add samplings using local ingredients. – Carolee Higashino White Orchid Wedding Pinterest pages under WOW HAWAII for all to enjoy our favorites,” she says.

Either way, WOW planners help provide insight into how to make each couple’s vision a reality. WOW’s process results in an inspiration board in the form of a complete online catalogue of elements from ‘beginning to end,’ Higashino says. “We design the concept bearing in mind their color selection, theme and venue primarily,” she says. “We then hone in on specific details and include images of options we feel the client would view for consideration. This would include for example linen offerings, lighting, cakes, florals, rentals, tenting, culinary, etc. Clients will then flip through the online catalog, which includes images available for their event, and indicate what they might be interested in or not.”

Intricate styles tend to stay better when hair has a little grip. “Dirty” hair is easier to work with than shiny, freshly washed locks. If you must wash, remember to thoroughly dry your hair before going to your appointment. DO wear a little extra makeup than you are accustomed to wearing because it will show up better in photos. However, do not wear so much that you look clownish. A makeup artist can help you achieve the right balance. DON’ T have bridesmaids wear makeup that is bolder than yours, especially red lips. No one should upstage the bride. DO experiment with any products you haven’t used before to test for allergic reactions and see how well they wear. DON’ T wear too much under-eye concealer or one that is too light of a shade. This can draw more attention to problem areas than remedy them. DO bring a pain relief medication in case a tight hairstyle or headpiece causes a headache. DON’ T forget that men need a little help as well. Exfoliation and moisturization can help dry skin. Guys should use a new razor and plenty of cream before shaving to avoid irritation. A dusting of finishing powder can banish shiny noses and foreheads for photo-ready faces.

But in the weeks and months before their big days, couples can easily get caught up in the whirlwind of wedding planning, never taking inventory of their feelings until their wedding days have arrived. Come their big days, couples should not be surprised if some nerves set in. A survey from the anxiety selfhelp resource The Fear Source indicated that 71 percent of brides-to-be suffered from some type of nerves during the lead-up to their weddings. Ninety-two percent of brides experienced
ported that it affected their daily lives prior to their weddings or hampered their performance and enjoyment during the day itself. One important way couples can help make the planning process — and the big day itself — less hectic is to hire a wedding planner. “The experience of planning your wedding should be enjoyable and not stressful,” says Kim Yonamine, founder of Exclusive Island Weddings here on Maui. “A wedding coordinator will take care of all the details and alleviate the stress on the bride/groom and family, so that they are able to focus on
ing aspects of planning to a professional, there are several other methods couples can use to keep calm throughout the process. The following are some ways to tame wedding-day nerves. • Start planning early. Yonamine, who has planned weddings in as short as two months and as long as three years, highly recommends starting early. Couples should decide on a vision and start researching vendors right away. Doing so can make it easier to stick to a budget or save for a bigger budget if necessary. “The details for a wedding change constantly and be-

cause weddings are costly, having more time to plan and feel comfortable with the choices that you make will make the planning process less stressful and more enjoyable,” she says. • Keep an open dialogue. Speak with your future spouse about the things that may be causing your anxiety. Maybe you have doubts on financial choices or where you will be living after the wedding. Communicating openly and honestly is one of the foundations of a strong relationship. Yonamine says it’s also important for the groom to remain in the loop throughout the entire planning stages so that both have a clear vision of what they want for their special day.
“In my experience, I usually see the groom during the first few meetings, then they stop coming,” she says. “The meetings continue with the bride and as we are about to wrap up the major details, the bride runs it over with the groom and he requests changes.” It’s better to make sure the bride and groom are on the same page in advance. • Slow down and breathe. Wedding planning involves making many decisions, and sometimes couples move at breakneck speeds. Make slowing down a priority. Try to enjoy a quiet dinner with just the two of you. When enjoying peaceful moments, take deep breaths, which can be calming and revitalizing. Consid-

anxiety. It’s easy to build up the big day in your mind and hope that everything goes according to plan. But it’s impossible to plan for each and every outcome on your wedding day. Realize that your guests are your friends and family members who will be forgiving of any hiccups along the way. • Recruit more help. Weddings are huge undertakings, so it’s no surprise that couples sometimes feel overwhelmed. Ask reliable relatives or friends to help out when possible. But make sure they are dependable. “I have witnessed a lot of events (where) friends and family agree to help and don’t follow through, leaving the couple more stressed out because now they have to figure out the situation in a short period of time,” she says. While it’s OK to ask for help, Yonamine says it’s important not to overwhelm friends and family. Pass off difficult tasks to a wedding planner instead.
