WEDDING SEND-OFF IDEAS YOU HAVEN’T CONSIDERED by Susan Southerland 37
1. Sparklers
Okay, okay…we know sparklers are used all the time at weddings these days. But what you might not have considered about sparklers is that they’re one of only a few wedding send-off ideas that show up in photos in the dark. A couple of others are Chinese sky lanterns, LED balloons, and glow sticks.
2.Tambourines
3.Lavender.
4. Silly
5.Fairytale
Lacy tambourines played by your guests can make for a unique and musical send-off.
String
If you’re a couple who will always be young at heart, exiting your wedding to a deluge of Silly String might be perfect for you!
Dried scented herbs like lavender make a delightful send-off idea that’s friendly for the environment.
wands
What better way to send off the happy couple than by waving wands topped with colorful ribbons and tinkling bells? This looks beautiful in photos!
L�king for more ideas? 38
6.
7.
Paper airplanes
During the reception, have guests write messages of love on specialty paper that they fold into airplanes and then toss during the big send-off. You can ask your Maid of Honor and Best Man to collect them so you can read them later.
Rainb� sprinkles prinkles
You know those whimsical colorful sprinkles that bakers use to top donuts or cupcakes? kes? They’d make a wonderfully original send-off off item for guests to toss.
8.
A red carpet
You’ll look and feel like celebrities if you exit along a red carpet with your guests snapping photos of you along the way.
9.
Noise makers
Exit to a festive serenade of noise makers. Use a variety of them, such as the ones ending in shiny tinsel and others that unroll into colorful tubes.

The
n w o d w o g L n i p p i T on WEDDING VENDORS by Susan Southerland
40
The vendors who work with you on your wedding assume most of the responsibility of making sure you and your future spouse have the most amazing day of your lives. They spend a lot of time before - and sometimes after - the wedding seeing that everything comes together perfectly for you. If you’d like to thank one or more of your wedding vendors for their hard work with a tip but you’re not sure how much or when to tip them, here’s a guide to help you:
• STYLING SERVICES.
It’s customary to tip your stylist or barber 15 to 20 percent of their fee, and the tip should be added to their payment at the time of service.
• OFFICIANT.
If you’re using an officiant at your house of worship, you would most commonly make a contribution to that place of worship ($100-$250 is average). If you’re using a private officiant, they’re usually paid a direct fee and tipping is optional. $50- $100 is the recommended range.
• WEDDING PLANNER.
If you’d like to recognize exceptional service by your wedding planner, either present the tip to him or her at the end of the wedding day or in a thank you note after your honeymoon. The recommended range is $100-$500 (depending on how long the wedding planner is working with you beforehand and on the big day). 41
• MUSICIANS.
If you have a band, the average tip is $25-$35 per musician. DJs and emcees average a tip of $50-$100. Tips are typically presented to them at the end of the reception.
• PHOTOGRAPHERS AND VIDEOGRAPHERS.
Tips for vendors who work for themselves may vary from those who work for a big company (because the individuals tend to earn more per event). An average tip for individuals is $50-$100 and the average for employees is a little higher at $100-$200.
• CATERER AND SETUP TEAMS.
These behind-the-scenes staff members are typically tipped in the contracts you sign for them. Review all of your contracts to see which include gratuities and which don’t so you know whether or not to tip someone.

Beautiful Ways to Remember Those No Longer With You at Your Wedding by Susan Southerland
45
Weddings are joyous occasions, which can sometimes make it even more difficult when people we love can’t be there. If you ďŹ nd yourself in this position, there are some wonderful things you can do to honor those loved ones. Here are a few ideas: 46
1
Reserve them a seat. Place a rose and photo of your loved one on the seat they would have taken if they were there.
2
Sew fabric with their name(s) into your wedding attire. Have the fabric sewn inside your clothing near your heart so they’re with you symbolically throughout the day.
3
Create a display with photos of your loved ones. Write a sweet and touching quote on a chalkboard.
4
Set up a table at your ceremony or reception. Place framed photographs of your loved ones. You can decorate it with a pretty floral arrangement, maybe including sprigs of rosemary for remembrance.
5
Make a donation in their name. Choose a charitable organization that has meaning to you or your loved one and make a donation. Add a note of the donation in your programs
6
Dance for them. Choose a special song and have the DJ or emcee play it in their honor. Then do your best to get every guest out onto the dance floor. 47
The Insider’s Guide to
Wedding Shows Top tips for attending wedding shows
Wedding Shows are one of the best ways to get organized with your planning and meet a lot of vendors all in one day. You will see some of the current wedding trends, hot bridal fashions, taste food & cake samples and have the opportunity to book services at a discounted rate. Here’s a few tips to be prepared for show day:
1
Pre-register for the show. This will save you time at check-in and often gives you a discounted ticket rate.
48
2
Come prepared to book vendors at the show. Many vendors have show day specials so be sure to bring your credit card or cash to take advantage of deals.
3
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. You will be doing a lot of walking & standing. The last thing you want is to be uncomfortable while trying to make important decisions.
4
Bring someone with you to help with decisions. Make it a fun day with your fiance, wedding party or family. It helps to have someone to sort out the options.
Most importantly, HAVE FUN! This is a day to get some of the wedding to-do’s checked off your list but be sure to enjoy the fashion show, discounts & freebies, test out photobooths and much more!
7
5
Don’t bring anything that will be a hassle to carry with you all day--like your coat or a large handbag. You will want something to carry brochures and handouts.
6
Bring pre-printed address labels to save time filling out info cards or drawing entries. Most vendors want to know your name, address, email and wedding date.

We’re looking at what’s hot now and what’s on the horizon in men’s wedding fashion. Whether you’re a groom or a guest, you’re sure to get inspired by this list. Find more fashion trends at Head Over Heels. 56
1. Grooms in white.
Who says the bride is the only one who should wear white to the wedding? Today’s fashion experts urge grooms to do the same.
2. Facial hair.
Light facial hair or scruff has become quite fashionable for grooms and groomsmen.
3. Powder blue accents.
Powder blue has been one of the most popular accent colors for grooms. If you’re gravitating towards a powder blue suit, we recommend going with just the blue jacket and pairing it with black pants for a more timeless look.
4. Bow ties.
Bow ties have been a trend for a few years now and we don’t see that changing any time soon. This enduring neckwear offers either a formal or fun look depending on the fabric and pattern you choose.
5. Or no tie at all.
It has become more fashionable for grooms to forgo their neckties and wear collared shirts paired with vests or a jacket. This look is best suited to more casual weddings. Stick to ties for formal affairs.
6. Satin lapels.
In a nod to proms and formals of yesteryear, wedding fashion designers have introduced suits pairing more than one fabric, such as wool jackets with satin lapels.
7. Red!
Bright, popping red has also started trending. If you’re a groom who doesn’t want to be missed, this may be the accent color (or, if you’re really bold, the suit jacket color) for you! 57
