Let’s face it:

for most traditional weddings, the bride is the focus. That doesn’t mean that the groom and his attendants shouldn’t look their best, though! So today I thought it would be helpful to offer some wedding attire tips for men. 50

Annie Steele Photography

Consider the setting.

You’ll obviously dress differently for a casual outdoor wedding than you will for a formal indoor one. Make sure your attire suits the setting. No matter how casual the event, however, do take care to choose clothing dressier than you’d normally wear. For example, opt for light khaki pants and a white collared shirt if you’re exchanging vows on the beach. This is meant to be one of the most signiﬁcant days of your life, so dress the part. 52

Rachel Robertson Photography

Give it a

personal touch.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no rule saying you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t add some personality to a wedding suit or tux. Grooms today are infusing their personal touch in their attire through themed socks, special tie pins, or cufflinks in a fun theme, like the Transformers logo or a sports team emblem. Just keep it tasteful, fellas! 54

Brian Treffeisen Photography

Handle with care.

As Hollywood has demonstrated through movies like The Hangover, much can happen in the span of 24 hours. Be sure your attire (and that of your attendants) is safely stored the night before the wedding to help avoid any wardrobe mishaps. Shawna Hinkel Photography

Dare to be different. 58

According to GQ, the traditional black suit is starting to get edged out by hipper, trendier looks like khaki, gray, or even white suits. If you consider yourself a trendsetter, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from mixing things up with a unique suit style, a quirky bow tie, or a cleverly folded pocket square.

Most couples think of the big expenses when it comes to planning a wedding: food and beverage, the ﬂowers, the photographer, and so on. Many couples fail to budget for the smaller or unexpected expenses, which can really add up and send you into a budget crisis. Here are some wedding costs that you may not know about, but should: PHOTOS AND VIDEO Reprints and Duplication: Photographers and videographers have various ways of structuring their packages. Some charge for time only and surrender a high resolution DVD of the images. Others have a package that includes their time and an album. There are also some who charge for their time and then give a credit towards purchasing products. Make sure you know what end result you want when choosing your vendors. Overtime: Pay careful attention to the amount of time the photographers and videographers include with their packages. I’ve found that six hours of coverage is usually sufficient for a ceremony and reception that takes place in one location. Eight hours is better if the ceremony and reception are in different locations or if you would like photos and video of you and your wedding party while you are getting ready. Be mindful of the time that’s included and be sure to include overtime in the original budget if necessary. FORMAL WEAR Wedding Gown: The most overlooked expense in wedding gowns is alterations. Alteration fees can add up very quickly. Plan to add $150-$300 for wedding gown alterations. Accessories: Don’t forget about jewelry, veil, shape wear, and the bride’s shoes. These can add on another $300-$800, depending on the bride’s taste. Tuxedo Rentals: Late return fees. Make sure you know when your tuxedos need to be returned. Keeping them extra days can cost you a lot of money. Find someone trustworthy to return them in a timely manner or offer that service yourself.

Weddings can take more than a year to plan. In the process, couples can lose sight of what is arguably supposed to be the most romantic night of your lives . . . your ďŹ rst night as a married couple. We thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d share some tips to make sure your wedding night is everything you hope it will be!

TO PLAN YOUR ROMANTIC WEDDING NIGHT: Wrap things up at a reasonable time. If you don’t want to be so exhausted that you head to bed and immediately fall asleep, get a full night’s sleep the night before and end your reception at a reasonable time. Remember, you and your spouse can leave a little before everyone else if you want. You’re the guests of honor! Curb the alcohol intake. Many couples want to celebrate their nuptials with champagne and/ or cocktails, and that’s okay. It’s a celebration, after all! But know your limits, and keep the coming wedding night in mind. You want to be clear-headed and alert to focus on your new spouse. Get away from it all. Consider booking a room somewhere away from where your guests are staying. If you stay near everyone else, you run the risk of getting disturbed by well-wishers, or even thinking more about whether your guests are comfortable than about your new spouse. Stay somewhere sumptuous (or at least nicer than usual). It’s your wedding night…of course you should indulge! Even if you can’t aﬀord the honeymoon suite, spring for something nicer than you usually would. It will help to set the mood if you’re feeling like royalty. Have a late-night snack. Many couples get so caught up with making the rounds to thank their guests and dancing the night away that they neglect to eat much of their reception food. Arrange for a light snack of cheese and crackers, chocolate-covered strawberries, or something similar that the two of you can enjoy while you relax and revisit the wedding day together. Exchange gifts. Some couples exchange tokens of aﬀection before the wedding, but it’s also perfectly acceptable to exchange them after the wedding. In fact, we think it’s a lovely way to begin your new life together! Yes, your wedding night is meant to be romantic, but be realistic. It will come at the end of an exciting and exhausting day. Don’t put too much pressure on yourselves to make it “perfect.” Just celebrate your love for each other and prepare for a very happy marriage to come! 65

EN WAYS V E S TO KEEP COOL THROUGH THE

Wedding Planning Process 66

I’ve worked with a lot of couples over the years, and I’ve seen many brides and grooms lose their cool in the course of planning their weddings. It’s an easy thing to do considering it’s going to be one of the most important days of your lives. Take it from me, though…you’ll both be happier on your big day if you make every effort to avoid reaching your breaking point!

HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS ON

How to Make Your Planning AS STRESS-FREE AS POSSIBLE:

Give yourself time. The more time you have between your engagement and the wedding day, the more you can pace yourself on the planning. For instance, it’s much less stressful (on you and your budget) to interview and hire vendors over a few months than to try and fit it all into a few weeks.

Hire a wedding planner. If your budget permits it, hire a wedding planner. He or she will take the lead in your planning, guiding you throughout the process and serving as your voice of reason in times of stress.

3 4 68

Go on “plan-free” dates. As often as possible, take time with your future spouse to do something you both enjoy. Make that time “plan-free,” and maybe even impose a fun consequence like having to give out a kiss - if they slip up and mention the wedding plans. Keep it simple. I encourage couples to simplify as much as possible as they plan their weddings. Rather than try to book a separate ceremony and reception space, you might consider booking everything in one location. Rather than pay for two different floral setups, repurpose some of your ceremony floral.

Nail down your vision. Many brides get bogged down in the details. Using photos for inspiration, put together a scrapbook or Pinterest board with images that inspire you. Share these with your wedding vendors and rely on their expertise to help guide you into bringing that vision to life. Until you decide what you really want, however, it’s hard for your plans to progress…so make your decision and stick to it!

Get organized. Make use of planning checklists such as those found on Perfect Wedding Guide, use a spreadsheet (such as Excel or Google docs) to manage your guest list, and set up reminders for yourself when payments are due. The more organized you are, the less stress you’ll have as the big day nears.

When it doubt, try it out. If you’re anxious because you’re not sure what your reception centerpieces will look like or whether your hair and makeup stylist can achieve the look you want or if your cake will taste as decadent as promised, ask for a preview. While there might be a charge, you can request a sample centerpiece from the florist, a trial-run of hair and makeup, and a tasting

These are just a few ways to help keep your cool during the planning process. Remember, it’s likely that little things won’t go as planned along the way, but nothing is as important as you and your future spouse finally saying “I Do!”

Wedding favors are a classic wedding tradition, but they’re often something couples don’t think about until near the end of their wedding planning. By that time, the budget can be greatly depleted or nonexistent. What can you do if you want to give your guests something nice as a thank-you without going broke? Below are some fantastic budget-friendly wedding favor ideas. The best part is that guests can keep for as long as they’d like (as opposed to food). Try these out or come up with your own: Luggage Tags. Destination weddings are popular in Florida, and some couples have given their guests personalized luggage tags as favors. There are many options out there, many for less than $1.50 each! Sunglasses. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, sunglasses are a must! Sites like Etsy customize sunglasses with your names and the wedding date, making them great wedding favors. Each pair is less than two dollars. Personalized Lip Balm. Not only is this an inexpensive gift (pricing out at less than 50 cents each on many sites), but it’s practical too. You could place it in a pretty bag with a travel-sized hand lotion and small packs of tissues and make wonderful care packages as your favors! Lottery Tickets. This one may seem odd, but it can actually be a lot of fun for your guests. Place each ticket in a specially-designed holder. Each personalized favor will end up less than three dollars.

Personalized Tea Bags and Tea Infusers. If you’re having a garden wedding, you can find some absolutely lovely tea-inspired wedding favors such as the ones on Beau-Coup.com. Personalized tea bags placed in each teacup would be a nice touch, as would a personalized tea infuser. Together, they cost less than five dollars. Cookie Cutters. Some brides love the idea of gifting your guests with cookie cutters attached to beautiful recipe cards featuring your favorite cookie recipes. If you’re not into baking, you could just gift cookie cutters personalized with your names and the wedding date. Personalized Mason Jars. Rustic-chic is still popular, and Mason jars cost less than a dollar each. You can create personalized labels in your wedding colors and tie them around the jars, or use etching tools to personalize the jars themselves. For a little extra money, you could even include something in the jars, like the ingredients for grown-up hot cocoa. Donations. If you and your future spouse are more into philanthropy than favors, consider making a donation in your guests’ names to a charity of your choice. Place personalized note cards at each guest’s seat letting them know about the donation. You’d be surprised how many guests appreciate this type of gift! There are also plenty of food-based wedding favors that wouldn’t cost much, but many guests like to keep their favors as keepsakes. To find the perfect favors for your wedding, visit ShopPWG.com 73

While there is no shortage of happiness on a couple’s wedding day, your parents will likely experience some bittersweet feelings. It’s a beautiful celebration, but also an end of an era – it’s not easy “giving away” your daughter or son. Consider these ideas to sneak into your wedding planning to show your mom and groom’s mom some extra love on your wedding day. Make her feel included by tying in her wedding look with yours. We just got married on Mother’s Day weekend, so my husband and I really wanted our moms to feel special on our wedding day. As our color palette included soft pinks with my bridesmaids in blush, we decided it would be fitting for our moms to be in shades of pink as well. I went with both our moms to pick out their dresses, ensuring each had an element that tied into my dress. My mom’s dress had a beaded neckline to match my beaded sash, and my mother-in-law’s dress tied in the lace element of my dress with a beautiful lace overlay. Grooms, customize your mother-son dance song. There are countless blogs and articles naming the most popular mother-son dance songs, but if none of those seem to represent your relationship with your mom, have your band or wedding singer customize lyrics to make them better fit. For example, my husband changed the words to “The Best Day” by Taylor Swift to say: I have an excellent [mother]. [Her] strength is making me stronger. God smiles on my little [sister]. Brides, give her your bouquet instead of tossing it. Rather than having your bouquet ripped apart by a handful of hopeful girls wanting to get their hands on it for good luck, consider presenting your bouquet to your mom. What woman doesn’t like receiving flowers, especially when they’re from your daughter’s most special day? It’s a nod to your mom for all she’s done and a symbol of your appreciation for her.

WEDDING

BUDGET

s er t s Bu

Most people know the primary wedding budget “hotspots.” Food and beverage, ceremony and/or reception space fees, floral and décor, photography, videography, etc. I’ve provided wedding budgeting tips in the past, but sometimes things can sneak up on you in the course of planning your wedding, and they can blow your budget out of the water. To read this article in its entirety, visit HeadOverHeelsWeddingBlog.com (search: wedding budget busters)

HERE ARE TEN OF THE BIGGEST CULPRITS AND HOW TO AVOID GETTING TAKEN BY SURPRISE:

1 POSTAGE.

It can be hard to know exactly how much the postage for your wedding invitations will cost. Wedding invitations come in many shapes and sizes, and the contents will weigh differently depending on what you include . . . then there’s the postage for the RSVPs. Ask the stationer if they can estimate postage costs before you make your invitation decisions. On average, you’ll want to budget at least $150 to mail about 100 wedding invitations.

ACCESSORIES.

Couples don’t always think about necklaces, earrings, bracelets, belts, tie pins, cufflinks, socks, shoes, or watches when they set their wardrobe budget. To cut down on unexpected expenses, consider borrowing some of these items from friends or family members. It will make for nice sentiment. 86

3 BUFFETS.

By nature, a buffet offers guests the option of eating as much food as they want. If they don’t fill up on their first visit to the buffet, they can go back a second or third time, potentially making your food costs skyrocket. To avoid unexpected expenses, ask the catering manager to closely monitor food consumption, and ask if you can cap items once they run out.

WARDROBE ALTERATIONS.

You’ve heard this before, but it bears repeating. Wedding gown alterations aren’t cheap, and many brides and bridesmaids forget to include them in their wardrobe budget. Depending on the style of the gown and how much work needs to be done, brides can easily expect to pay several hundred dollars in alterations.

Brittany & Justin

Brittany and Justin married in Lake Como on one of the most beautiful corners of the lake at Villa La Cassinella. 60 guests joined them for a threeday aďŹ&#x20AC;air. The festivities started with a family style welcome dinner at the intimate Al Veluu overlooking the lake, which featured the Milan symphony orchestra. The wedding day started with guests being picked up by private boat and delivered to the Villa. The head mixologist from the Bvlgari Hotel Milan curated the cocktails for the special day and attendees were welcomed with imported champagne from France and fresh barriers, selected by the bride. The bride was preceded by her 3lb maltipoo and her mother as a string quartet serenaded her down the aisle. Dinner was held in a magical tent featuring endless candles, silk tablecloths and gold-rimmed china and crystal. The bride and groom performed a choreographed tango for their ďŹ rst dance complete with lunges, jumps and dips. After the tango, the live band erupted into dance music and the crowd danced the night away and concluded with ďŹ reworks. 93
