TOP 5 THINGS YOU

SHOULDN’ T FORGET TO DO ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

By Susan Southerland

So much time and effort goes into planning a wedding. Sometimes couples get so caught up in their plans that they forget some important things on the big day. We’re here to share with you the top ﬁve things you absolutely shouldn’t forget to do on your wedding day. 35

1. STAY HYDRATED

Whether or not you’re planning on drinking alcohol at your wedding, it’s so important to drink water throughout the day. Dehydration (especially when combined with stress) can lead to heart palpitations, headaches, shaking, and lightheadedness. The last thing you want to do is faint on your wedding day because you didn’t remember to drink some water!

2. EAT THE FOOD YOU’RE PAYING FOR

Many times, couples miss their cocktail hours due to picture taking. They then enter the reception, have their first dance, and begin mingling with guests. It’s important to remember to eat some of the food you’re paying for. Ask your wedding planner (or a relative) to bring you a few food selections during photos, and make sure you partake of the meal at your reception.

3. TOUCH UP YOUR MAKEUP

Brides, you’ll be photographed the entire day. Make sure you have touchup makeup (at least lipstick) handy any time you need it. You’ll be thankful when you get those photos back…especially the un-retouched family pics!

4. BRING A CHANGE OF SHOES

Unless you’re wearing flip-flops or sneakers down the aisle, the odds are your shoes h will ill bbe causing i your ffeet to ache by the time you reach the reception. Bring a pair of comfortable shoes to change into so you can dance the night away in comfort.

5. TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO SOAK IT ALL IN

The single-most common thing we hear from newlyweds is that their wedding day went by in a flash. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to take a few minutes to take a deep breath, relax, and take it all in. That way, the memories will really stick with you for years to come.

These may not seem like critical things to remember on your wedding day, but trust usâ&#x20AC;Ś they are!

MEANINGS BEHIND POPULAR

Flowers BY SAMANTHA CROTTY

It’s easy to select a wedding ﬂower based off of what it looks like. But have you ever wondered what your selected ﬂower means? 40

When I think of flower meanings, I immediately think back to a scene in The Wedding Planner with Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey. As the two characters are walking through a flower market, Mary (Lopez) explains that she and the bride have already selected the base for the arrangements and suggests that Steve (McConaghay) point out anything else that may jump out to him. As they walk he points out a pale pink flower with multiple hanging buds. Mary responds with one of my favorite quotes from that movie: “Interesting. This is called the Bleeding Heart, the official funeral flower of Tibet.” Immediately Steve begins to sarcastically say how he is so good at this and the scene continues. To avoid being in the same boat as Steve, I have done the leg work for you. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular wedding flowers and see their real meanings.

The ancient Greeks and Romans associated roses with the goddesses of love, Aphrodite and Venus. Roses have been the longtime symbolism of love. Not to mention, each color has a distinct meaning.

• RED: Signifies enduring passion, the lovers rose. • WHITE: Represents humility and innocence. • YELLOW: Expresses friendship and joy. • PINK: Embodies gratitude, appreciation and admiration. • ORANGE: Means enthusiasm and desire. • WHITE LILAC AND PURPLE: Represent enchantment and love at first sight. 44

Discovered in the 16th Century by Spanish botanists in the sandy hillside of Central America. The dahlia is known to represent inner strength and creativity. When given as a gift, the flower expresses sentiments of dignity and elegance. It is also the symbol of a commitment and bond that is to last forever.

Story has it that Paeon, the physician to the Gods, received this flower from Apolloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mother on Mount Olympus though there are several variations to this tale. The Peony is known as the flower of riches and honor, and an omen of good fortune and a happy marriage.

Originally discovered in Japan, Hydrangeas were later named by the Greeks. Debates still remain on the symbolism of the flower. Some suggest that the flower represents vanity and boastfulness, whereas others suggest they represent anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sincerely heartfelt. 47

PERUVIAN: Represents friendship and devotion. WHITE STARGAZER: Expresses sympathy. PINK STARGAZER: Signifies wealth and prosperity. First discovered in a villa in Crete around 1580 B.C., the lily has long played a role in ancient mythology. Beloved by the Greeks, they believed the lily sprouted from the milk of Hera, the queen of the gods. As a whole, the lily symbolizes humility and devotion. While white lilies symbolize chastity and virtue, other varieties became popular and brought with them additional meanings.

Known in ancient Greece as the flower of virility, Greek women believed that by feeding either a large or small orchid tuber to their unborn childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, it would produce a certain outcome of gender. The symbolism for the orchid shifted to luxury during the Victorian era, and today this same sense of magnificence and artful splendor continues, with orchids representing rare and delicate beauty. 49

You’ve selected the perfect dress, picked a great venue, taste-tested the food, sampled your cake, have the most gorgeous ﬂowers and a DJ to get your guests dancing all night long. With all of that done, it is time to focus on YOU! On your wedding day, you deserve to look your absolute best. In fact we believe every bride should look perfect! Below you will ﬁnd the tips that are most important when it comes to beauty.

Barbara B Covington Photography

focus on your skin. Now is the time to really start using a daily skin regiment, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already do so. Though we love makeup as much as the next person, it can only cover up so much. Your skin is the key ingredient for that ďŹ&#x201A;awless look you want on your wedding day.

Kay Kroshus

schedule a trial run...or two. Be sure to setup a trial run with your choice make-up artist at least three weeks before your wedding. You can then schedule a second run if you so choose. Be sure to bring references with you so the artist has an idea of what you are looking for. Keep in mind your skin tones when selecting. If you have Dita Von Teese color tones, a look similar to Kim Kardashian is not going to blend correctly.

Annie Steele Photography

Christy Wilson Photography

get all-day wear. Your wedding day is not a quick in-and-out visit, it is a full out day. With that primers are essential! If you have hired a makeup artist (which we highly suggest), they will know this commandment. However if you are doing your own wedding day makeup, be sure to pick up a primer and become familiar with it. A light coat is all you will need to get you through your big day.

hide the imperfections. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sweat if a pesky breakout appears, note it to your make-up artist and they will conceal it accordingly. Same with any dark circles that may occur due to lack of sleep from your excitement for becoming a wife.

Freeland Photography LLC

stay neutral. Your wedding day focuses on the love you both share for one another. It is not about being the trendiest person in the room. We recommend a more neutral look over something overly dramatic. Why you ask? A neutral look will limit your amount of touch ups, plus will give that â&#x20AC;&#x153;naturalâ&#x20AC;? beauty look we all aspire to have.

Something Blue Wedding Photography

say YES to waterproof. Your wedding day will be an emotional time. To take caution, we highly recommend using a waterproof mascara to avoid any black tears from lining your cheeks.

Shelly Taylor Photography

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid of color. Even though one rule is to stay neutral, we also recommend you not be afraid of color. Remember you are wearing a form of white, which you do not want to match identically.

Brawns Photography

keep nails simple. Whether with a classic french manicure or a pale pink, you want your nails to be polished not taking over the spotlight.

Nick Davis Photography

Studio 220 Photography

a touch-up kit is your friend. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve determined what your wedding day makeup will look like, be sure to purchase the products for touch ups. All of them can be placed in a small cosmetic bag that your MOH can maintain throughout the wedding day/night. As a reminder, photos will be taken the whole time and you want your make-up to always be on point.

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rush. Leave enough time on your wedding day. Schedule your make-up and hair appointments accordingly on the day of. You will already be stressed enough that day, you DO NOT need to be frantically speeding through your make-up.

Although everyone wants to have a perfect wedding day, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no getting around the fact that things often come up that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect. The trick is not to panic when these wedding day emergencies happen. Be prepared to handle these typical emergencies that could come up on your big day by following these tips:

A spill on your wedding gown. We encourage brides to forgo foods and drinks that might stain their gowns, but sometimes spills happen outside of the bride’s control. Have a stick of fabric chalk available in your gown’s color. That way, you can blot (never rub) the stain to remove it as much as possible and then cover it up with chalk for the rest of the event. You’ll then want the stain treated by a professional dry cleaner after the wedding.

Uncooperative children. We love kids, but you never know what might happen when they’re standing up in your wedding. If you have a rambunctious ring bearer, don’t let him carry the actual rings…give him replicas. If your ﬂower girl doesn’t want to walk down the aisle, see if she’ll walk with one of the adults in the wedding party, or just let her sit with her parents and forgo the ﬂower petals. It’ll still be a beautiful ceremony!

Gasp a pimple! How dare a zit interfere with your glorious moment? If you ďŹ nd the pimple too close to your ceremony to have a dermatologist treat it, try covering it with mint toothpaste or yogurt for a couple of hours to help reduce the swelling and redness. Visine (which is always great to have on-hand) can help, too. After youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done what you can, concealer will become your best friend.

Gown tears. Sometimes wedding gowns tear. A strap might come apart, the waistline might rip due to stepping on the skirt, a button might pop oﬀ…it happens. Bring along a small sewing kit with the essentials: thread that matches your gown, needles of various sizes, a thimble, and scissors. In a pinch, safety pins will work, too…and they’re great in the event a zipper malfunctions.

The inappropriate toast. If alcohol is involved, you run the risk of a best man, maid of honor, or relative standing up and giving an inappropriate wedding speech. If you happen to notice their level of intoxication before the toast, just ask them to refrain from taking the mic. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch it until mid-speech, ask a member of the bridal party to cue the DJ to play some music and take the mic from the oďŹ&#x20AC;ender.

Shoe mishaps. I once had to use a corkscrew to make a bridesmaid’s shoes large enough to comfortably ﬁt her feet. I’ve Super Glued more heels and soles back in place than I can remember. Bring a utility tool (like a Swiss Army Knife) and strong adhesive to address most common shoe emergencies.

A ruined manicure. Since we use our hands so much, chips and gouges to our nails are always a possibility. Keep your polish color in your wedding day emergency kit so you can touch up your beautiful nails as needed.

Forgotten formalwear. It’s not uncommon for wedding attendants to forget a part of their ensemble. Socks, ties, vests, cuﬄinks, jewelry, etc. If a male attendant has forgotten something, call the closest tux or suit shop and ask if they have anything close to what you need. Even if the article of clothing is missing or diﬀerent, most people won’t notice. Ask your photographer to position the “guilty party” in such a way that the missing article isn’t obvious. These are just some of the most common wedding day emergencies and how to handle them. Stock up your wedding day emergency kit, prep your bridal party in advance for any possible issues, and assure yourself that even if something goes wrong, it’ll still be okay. After all, you’re marrying the love of life…what more do you need?

For those of you who might be unfamiliar with the acronym, LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. Same-sex marriage is now legal in the U.S., which means you may attend a same-sex wedding or participate in one in the near future. How exciting! Here are some wedding etiquette tips and traditions that you should know:

There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always an exchange of rings. While some couples stick with tradition and opt to purchase complementing wedding rings, some couples are exchanging watches or other tokens of their love and commitment to each other instead. The processional can get creative. Unlike traditional weddings where the groom and his attendants process ďŹ rst and wait at the end of the aisle for the bridal attendants and bride to process (usually escorted by one or both of her parents), many same-sex couples walk down the aisle together without their parents or bridal party, or meet halfway down the aisle. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of creativity with this part of the ceremony. 94

Bridesmaids and groomsmen? Not like you might think. Samesex weddings often have mixed genders in positions of honor within the wedding party. Rather than a maid of honor, for example, you might have a man of honor or two best men, and so on for females. Listen to how the couple addresses each other. Some same-sex couples refer to themselves as partners, life partners, husbands, wives, or spouses. Listen to how they address one another and refer to them the same way.

Even unsupportive family should be invited. For samesex couples who are wondering if you should invite a family member to your wedding who hasn’t been supportive of your relationship, the answer is yes. You’re only getting married once, and everyone important to you deserves the opportunity to attend.

Don’t expect all the same traditions as opposite-sex weddings. You may be used to seeing certain wedding traditions that apply to brides or grooms (the bouquet toss or garter toss, for example) that you’re less likely to see at a same-sex wedding. Just go with the ﬂow.

Even unsupportive family should attend. If you’re the family member of a same-sex couple who has invited you to their wedding and you don’t personally support the idea of samesex marriage, set aside your personal feelings for those few hours and attend the wedding. Please refrain from sharing your views on this subject when it comes to their wedding. Everyone will mingle. There isn’t likely to be a side designated for each member of the wedding couple during the ceremony. It’s more likely that guests will be encouraged to sit wherever they’d like. Reception seating is likely to be mixed, too.

QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK

BEFORE WRITING YYOUR VOWS by Susan s n Southerland

Writing tiing ng yo your own marriage vows can be really romantic n c - and n equally as daunting. Fear not! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here tto o guide g e yyo you th through this process. By answering a few ew important im an q qu questions, e you can craft vows that your guests g uests stts s (and yo your u fu future spouse) will love! 98

As youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beginning the process of writing your own vows, answer these questions: Question 1:

What do you remember most about the first time you met?

Question 2:

What is the one thing you love most about your future spouse? (You can list several qualities you love and then end with the top one.)

Question 3:

How has your life changed since the day you met?

Question 4:

Is there anything in particular your future spouse does that makes you laugh, or picks you up when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down?

Question 5:

When did you first know you wanted to spend the rest of your life with him/her?

Question 6:

Is there anything (a hobby or sport, for example) the two of you enjoy that will be a part of your life together? 100

Question 7:

Are there any challenges you’ve faced together? If so, how did you overcome them?

Question 8:

What do you want to achieve together during your marriage?

Question 9:

How can you be the best spouse ever?

Question 10:

What do you promise to do throughout your marriage? (These can be sweet, funny, or - even better - a blend of the two…whatever suits you as a couple!)

Once you’ve answered these questions, you should have a nice flow for your vows: how you met, what first struck you about him/her, the things you’ve learned to love about him/ her since then, what you’ve faced together and how you support each other, what you look forward to in the future, and what you personally vow to your future spouse.

VOILA!

YOU’VE WRITTEN YOUR VOWS.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Rachel & Paul

118

The photographer described it best by saying this event was a glamorous barn wedding. From the gold accents to the twinkle lights, Rachel and Paul’s wedding had every ounce of glam mixed in the rustic backdrop. The Attire: The bridesmaids were dressed in beautiful pale pink chiﬀon gowns, while the groomsmen all looked dapper in suits from Men’s Wearhouse. As an added touch, the bride attached her grandmother’s brooch to her bridal bouquet. The Scene: Rachel and Paul exchanged vows in front of several family and friends on that June 26th afternoon. As the ceremony drew to an end, the Oklahoma skies delivered one incredible sunset before the couple and their guests entered the reception space.

choose to tie the knot away from home and the trend is only growing. Although planning a wedding from afar may seem like a headache, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to tell you that may not always be the case!

123

While all venues are beautiful, there’s nothing like having your wedding pictures taken in a unique locale. Somewhere that sparks conversation above and beyond “hey I’ve been to a million weddings there!

124

Your mom wants to invite your great-aunt twice removed and your in-laws are insisting that you invite a step-cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister. Before you reach for that second glass of wine, take a second and consider the ease of planning a destination wedding and the smaller guest list that comes with it.

125

At some point in the planning process, every bride wakes up in a cold sweat from a nightmare about bridesmaid dresses. Will everyone like them? Does the color match the napkins? Will they truly get to wear them again? Destination weddings typically mean a smaller wedding party, which means fewer decisions (or nightmares!) for you in the fashion department.

You’re already there! Quite literally, your honeymoon will start the second you step away from your reception. Spend your wedding night walking on the beach or taking in some nightlife - there’s no need to stress about transportation back to the hotel and preparing for your impending honeymoon trip. Let’s also not forget that many wedding destinations have great deals on wedding and honeymoon packages!

126

Whether trying the knot in Italy, Hawaii or Mexico, you will always have a special place to retreat to for anniversaries, vow renewals, or just a romantic vacation together.

A destination wedding may not be for every couple, but there are a lot of pros to consider when making the decision. Learn more by visiting http://bit.ly/1YXGL8P 127

Signature drinks are a fun and easy way to give your wedding a dash of individuality. As this option tends to be more budget friendly than others, more and more couples are now opting to skip the full bar altogether and instead showcase his or hers signature cocktails.

These are Something New for I Do’s top reasons to love signature drinks: Signature drinks help tie in your theme and add a trendy ﬂare.

If your wedding is focused on a color palette rather than a theme, a great way to bring your palette full circle is selecting drinks by color, using glassware or garnishes that compliment your color choices. If you are having a brunch time wedding, consider having a bacon infused Bloody Mary served in a seasoned rimmed mason jar.

Choosing a signature drink over a full bar can help you save tremendously.

A well thought out bar with one or two signature drink options is a lot more cost eﬀective than a fully stocked bar. Aside from the cost of liquor liability insurance and whatever fees your venue requires for bar service or BYOB packages, costs can quickly add up. When you opt for one or several cocktails, you’ll notice that you budget goes much further.

Your guests will love trying something new.

Do you have a signature sangria recipe? Or is there a new cocktail you and your ﬁancé have started making? You guests will love the opportunity to try new drinks without going out and purchasing them. You can even have non-alcoholic varieties for the youngsters. It is important to make your wedding as unique as you are, and the signature drink is one of the best ways to do it. Now it’s time to get creative!

With the ever growing popularity of Instagram, it is no surprise that many couples are creating hashtags for their wedding guests to use on the big day. Doing so allows the attendees to not just watch, but be a part of your wedding. But the real question is, how do you create a wedding hashtag? One that everyone will be able to type in - whether tipsy or not - and one that has not been used before. Simple. Follow these quick tips: 150

USE YOUR NAMES. Sure there may be several Jim and Johns out there, but using your name is just the first part of the equation. THROW IN A WEDDING WORD. It’s obviously your wedding day, so why not use a word that identifies it. Words like: Hitch, Wed, Tie the Knot, I Do, Wedding, etc. ALLITERATIONS ARE FUN. And simple to remember. Use something like #HarrisonsGetHitched or #WildWilsonWedding. SPRUCE IT UP WITH A RHYME. Consider your names and if they rhyme with any wedding related words. Is your new last name going to be Stewart? Shorten it a bit and go with #StewPartyof2. WE LOVE TO BE PUNNY. Think about using an idiom or a common phrase in your hashtag. You can switch out a specific word with your name to get the punny in there. KEEP IT SWEET. Sure you could use something like #StephanieMarriesDanielCrowder as your hashtag, but it’s better to keep your hashtag short and sweet. Doing so will eliminate any guests from making any grammatical errors when entering it in. This doesn’t mean you can’t use your names. But consider using #StephWedsDan16 instead. GO TO THE SOURCE. Once you’ve come up with the perfect hashtag, log in to Instagram and check it out. This will confirm that your creative genius is all yours! SPREAD THE WORD. One thing to keep in mind once you’ve selected your perfect wedding hashtag, is to make it known to your guests. Add it to your wedding invitations, on your wedding website and place signs around your venues.

If it gets down to the wire and nothing has popped into your head, you can visit http://bit.ly/1LpA7UW for quick and easy help.
