They met again a few weeks later on Halloween and have been inseparable ever since. Two years later Mike popped the question in the living room of their new home in West Chester. Megan says “We instantly fell in love with Winterthur when we saw the reflecting pool. We stayed at The Inn at Montchanin during the weekend of our wedding and had our rehearsal dinner at Krazy Katz. Our wedding was perfect simply because we had the most caring professionals working to make our big day special. We had total confidence in our vendors and were able to enjoy every moment. We only wish we could do it all over again to relive the best day of our lives!” 15

Featured Professional:
Eastern Shore Wedding and Events 443-669-3106 www.easternshoreevents.net Wedding Date: August 6, 2015 Ceremony & Reception: Lewes Cape May Ferry Catering: Bethany Blues Flowers: Visual Presentations Photography: Liv Momme (Lavender and Lily) Rentals: Coastal Tents and Events Music and Entertainment: DJ Bump After 9 years together, Michael and Genevieve finally decided to plan their dream wedding. Having families from many different cities on the east coast, a destination wedding on the shore seamed the perfect fit for all. Falling in love with Lewes, Delaware and its charm, they chose the Lewes Ferry to host their ceremony and reception for over 100 guests. With the help of Debbie Wayland from Eastern Shore Wedding and Events, they created the “Sea Glass� themed wedding over looking the bay, complete with a Pirate Ship background. Bethany Blues catered the tented event by Coastal Tents and Events, while Eastern Shore Events hung chandeliers of blue and purple paper lanterns throughout the tent. Each table was adorned with Sea inspired decor by Visual Presentations around custom pottery made by the Brides uncle. After Dinner, DJ Bump pumped up the music and had the entire dance floor rocking. While Liv Momme from Lavender and Lily Photography captured the entire day, the bride and groom got to realize, Dreams do come true! 21
WHAT To Expect
at
BRIDAL SHOW 22
23
BRIDAL SHOWS ARE A GREAT WAY TO MEET LOTS OF WEDDING PROFESSIONALS IN EVERY CATEGORY ALL AT ONE TIME. THE SHOWS TYPICALLY DRAW BIG CROWDS, WHICH CAN MAKE MEETING YOUR IDEAL WEDDING VENDORS A CHALLENGE.
24
HERE ARE A FEW SIMPLE TIPS TO AVOID BECOMING OVERWHELMED • Look for a list of vendors prior to the show so you can decide who you absolutely want to meet. This will make wandering the aisles more efficient.
25
OmarrPhotography.com
26
• If you find vendors you like, make sure to give them your information and request a follow-up meeting. With all of the information that is going to be given to you at the show, you don’t want to accidentally forget who you really want to pursue to work with you. • Print your name, address, phone number, email address and wedding date on labels so you don’t have to spend a lot of time filling out information forms. Just peel and stick! • Create a wedding-only email address so that you don’t have to deal with all of the follow-up email in your regular email.
• Wear comfortable shoes. After walking the bridal show floor for an hour or two, you will hate your high heels. • Carry two bags with you. Put the information that interests you in one bag and the information that doesn’t interest you in another. You will be relieved not to have to sort through a bunch of papers after the show, and it will help ensure that you don’t misplace something important. • Bring along your mom or a friend or two so they can help you remember all the great ideas you’ll find at the show. • Don’t forget a camera! Photos are a great way to trigger your memory about things that interested you, and you will capture some great memories from planning your wedding.

Rachel & Paul

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 Warehouse. 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, we’re here to tell you that may not always be the case!
46
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!
47
Your mom wants to invite your great-aunt twice removed and you in-laws are insisting that you invite a step-cousin’s wife’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.
48
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!
49
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 50

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: 73
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.
