We spent a year and a half planning the wedding, stressing and building the barn for our wedding. Yes, you read that right. I did say dream, right? My parents built Josh and I a custom barn to be married at on my childhood farm in New Smyrna Beach. On the day of our wedding all the stress, doubts, and chaos seemed melted away. I was suddenly that horse crazy little girl living a fairy tale and marrying the man of my dreams. Being able to be married at the place I grew up meant so much to me and held so much of our early dating memories! Both Josh and I were able to incorporate our love for horses into our wedding day while being surrounded by the love of our family and friends. I don’t think we could have asked for more of a dream come true! Today my beautiful custom barn is now one of my private estate rentals! 15

Her favors represented the season by using red candy apples. With the popularity of rustic weddings this bride did not want to be labeled a burlap and chalkboard bride so to be different while keeping the trend we incorporated antique window panes with chalkboard writing of the seating chart and vintage doors representing the program. Both the bride and the groom are outside water enthusiasts and with it being a rustic wedding they put a nautical touch by having guests sign in on Oars that were passed down through the family. To add a few personal family touches we used her Mother’s dollies from her own wedding and for the blending of the wine during the ceremony they used the Bride’s Great Grandmother’s glasses. 23

Their signature drinks were posted at the bar on a surfboard they painted with chalk paint and s’mores were toasted over a warm fire. When it was time for ceremony to start Todd and his groomsmen came racing in on our speed boat and hoped off right at the altar. A unique aspect to this wedding occurred during their ceremony when they were surprised with an artist painting the scenery while they said their vows.

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. 36
Annie Steele Photography
37
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. 38
Rachel Robertson Photography
39
Give it a
personal touch.
There’s no rule saying you can’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! 40
Brian Treffeisen Photography
41
42
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
43
Dare to be different.
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, don’t shy away from mixing things up with a unique suit style, a quirky bow tie, or a cleverly folded pocket square. 44

12 Id�s FOR THE PERFECT KIDS’ TABLE by Susan Sutherland
46
CREATING A KIDS’ TABLE WHERE THE YOUNGEST GUESTS CAN HANG OUT AND ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES WILL HELP PREVENT POSSIBLE MELTDOWNS, AND MAKE YOU
LOOK LIKE A HERO.
47
Couples ask me all the time if they should include kids in their wedding. This is a personal decision, so I always suggest they consider what makes the most sense for them and the style they envision with their wedding planning. That said, if you do invite children to your wedding, it’s nice to think about how you can make them feel special. Creating a kids’ table where the youngest guests can hang out and entertain themselves will help prevent possible meltdowns, and make you look like a hero. Here’s how you can put together the perfect kids’ table at your wedding:
48
Id�
01
Make the table look awesome. Create a special sign for the kids’ table that says something like, “Where the Cool Kids Are,” or “No Adults Allowed.” Use a whimsical centerpiece and consider offering an alternative form of seating if the space allows it, like benches or bean bag chairs, to really set the table apart.
NO ADULTS ALLOWED
49
Idďż˝
02 50
Present every kid with the same things. We all know that when it comes to sharing, children aren’t always the best at it. Help avoid possible tantrums by making sure every child is treated the same.
Id�
03
Give them crayons. I recommend giving each child a pack of their own crayons so they don’t end up fighting over the same color. Admit it: even adults love to color…so hook the kids’ table up!
51
Id�
52
04
Cover the table with paper. What fun are crayons if you can’t use them? Don’t frustrate the kids by giving them crayons at a table covered in a nice tablecloth. Use white or brown craft paper to give them something to decorate.
Id�
05
Offer snacks they’ll enjoy. Check with your venue first on this one. If it’s approved (or you can order them through the venue), provide kidfriendly snacks like Goldfish Crackers, chocolatecovered raisins, cheese popcorn, pretzels, or graham crackers.
53
Id�
06 54
Play-Doh. (‘Nuf said.)
Idďż˝
07
Make them photography helpers. Disposable cameras are inexpensive, so give one to each kid and encourage them to get creative behind the lens. You might be really impressed by what pics you ďŹ nd after the photos are developed!
55
Idďż˝
08 56
Keep them busy with activity books and/or crafts. Kids get bored easily, so make sure they have plenty to do by giving them activity books and/or crafts they can do at their table. Just make sure you don’t choose anything too complicated or messy!
Idďż˝
09
Host a Scavenger Hunt. Create a Scavenger Hunt that only the kids can participate in (I recommend that it begin after the meal is served). Ask that the older kids assist the younger ones, and offer the winner(s) a prize.
57
Idďż˝
10 58
Put a bowl of Legos on the table. This can entertain some kids for the entire event!
Id�
11
Provide an alternative for their dress shoes. Kids get blisters, too, so provide them with flip flops, ballet-style slippers, or colorful no-skid socks to slip on during the reception. 59
Idďż˝
12 60
Have games on the table. Bring a selection of games, jigsaw puzzles, and playing cards for the kids to use. Opt for games where a number of kids can play at a variety of ages, and avoid games that make noise.
As long as you make your
���st gu��
feel welcome and give them something to occupy their time, you’ll have a win on your hands! We welcome your ideas for the perfect kids’ table, so please share your thoughts with us.

wants their wedding to stand out and reflect their taste and personality, but achieving this can be harder than one might think. Mimicking weddings from magazines or Pinterest doesn’t really make it personal. Ordering favors and decorative items from a site that produces thousands of them each day doesn’t really make it personal, either. If you really want to personalize your wedding ceremony, here’s a mix of eight classic and innovative ways that you can do so. 63
This is a classic way to personalize your wedding ceremony. Nothing your officiant or a website can create will be as personal as what you write yourself.
64
Eric Asistin Photography
Rennard Photography
Guests are often looking ahead to the cocktail hour and reception when they arrive, so consider helping to break the ice with a brief pre-ceremony reception. Work with a mixologist to create a drink (alcoholic and/or non) that represents you as a couple, and name the cocktail something that represents the two of you.
67
Are the two of you into acting or watching Broadway shows? Design your program in the form of a playbill from your favorite musical. Are you both fond of Marvel comics? Consider a program designed like a graphic novel where you’re both superheroes. There are plenty of ways to get creative with this ceremony touch.

Many couples have opted for this personal touch over the years. Companies offer fabric or carpeted monogrammed aisle runners, and orists can create monograms with rose petals. For an even more personal touch, you could choose non-traditional aisle dĂŠcor that suits you as a couple, such as lining it with starďŹ sh and sand dollars if you love the beach, or making the aisle look like sheet music with notes leading up the aisle if you both love music.
71
Don’t stress about having to ask a certain number of males versus females to stand up with you. Ask those people who truly mean the most to you to serve in your wedding party. If you happen to have a Man of Honor or a Best Woman, so be it! You might even want to ask someone special to serve as your officiant.

5 Unique Ways to Incorporate Family Tradition in Your Wedding
One of the most time-honored traditions in weddings is the adage, “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.” Although the popularity of this tradition waned over the past decade, it’s making a resurgence. Weddings are such sentimental events. What better time to incorporate things that hold meaning to you and your family? Here are some of the unique ways some of my couples have infused their weddings with Something Old: 74
un
WEAR PART OF A GOWN WORN BY A BELOVED
FAMILY MEMBER.
OldSouthStudios
Rather than wearing an actual hand-me-down gown, one of my brides had a piece of her grandmother’s gown sewn into the lining of hers. The groom also had a piece of the gown sewn into the lining of his suit vest. They felt it brought them even closer on the wedding day.
75
deux
BROACH BOUQUETS. I loved the broach bouquet created by one of my brides. She sent out an e-mail to every guest prior to the wedding day asking for any broaches she could borrow. Then she carefully arranged them into a stylish, vintage-inspired bouquet. All but one of the pins was returned after the wedding, but the photos of the incredible bouquet will last a lifetime!. StriplingPhotography

CELEBRATING LOVE.
One of my favorite ways to see couples honoring their families is having the DJ ask that couples of a certain age take the dance oor. Sometimes they ask for the couple who has been married the longest, or it may be couples who have been married for more than a certain number of years. It’s a sweet way to recognize true and timeless love, and a very creative way to bring in the “Something Old.”
77
78
quatre
PICTURES. I’ve had couples hang black and white images from their grandparents’ weddings on the ends of the church pews. Other couples have created jewelry with old photos, such as keychains and lockets, to carry with them. Sometimes having that image to look at for inspiration can make the wedding day complete.

“In my years as a wedding planner, I’ve encountered many a styling “emergency.” From torn gowns to shoes that didn’t t, there has been no shortage of problems to solve! When it comes to hair and makeup tips, however, I prefer to leave that up to the experts. Today I thought I’d share some of the tips I’ve learned from professional wedding hair and makeup artists over the years.”
Rachel Robertson Photography

Bernadette Pollard Photography Jessi Marri Photography
Do
Decide early what you’d like your hair to look like on the wedding day. If you want a long style, you’ll have to grow your hair out or get extensions. 84
Tonya Beaver Photography
Get a trial run about three months before the wedding. No matter who is doing your hair and makeup on the wedding day, schedule a time to have a trial run. This will make everything go more smoothly because the stylist will already know which colors and products to use. Jessie Felix Photography
85

86
Wear sunscreen and avoid self-tanning. Especially close to the wedding day, you don’t want to burn your skin or make unsightly tan lines. If you feel you need more pigment in your skin tone, exfoliate and then have an expert apply the color.
Wear as many oil-free makeup products as possible, especially if you’re likely to perspire. You should also carry an oil-blotting sheet for use between pictures.
Pay attention to that beautiful smile. If you’re prone to yellowing, consider using an at-home whitening kit a couple of weeks before the wedding so you’re photo-ready on the big day.

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.

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!
106
Your mom wants to invite your great-aunt twice removed and your 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.
107
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!
108
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 109

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: 132
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.
