Stress-Free Planning 5 easy steps to keep you going

You’re engaged – hooray! Now the fun of planning a lovely wedding begins (you think)… trying on wedding dresses, registering for gifts, choosing the perfect party favor… fun, fun, fun. Then reality sets in, and you discover that planning a wedding takes an incredible amount of work. It requires making countless decisions, handling thousands of details, juggling endless tasks and errands, and doing it all while also maintaining your relationships, job, life and sanity.

What’s a stressed-out bride to do? We’ve got some suggestions for you!

1. Start early.

Obviously, the more time you have to plan, the more breathing room you have, and the more options you’ll have for wedding vendors. Give yourselves at least a year if possible, so that you can spread the work out over time, and have the most flexibility in securing your first-choice vendors.

2. Stay organized.

Here are the basics you’ll need to manage all the details, deadlines and duties: Have one large envelope to hold all contracts and receipts. Have another one on hand for all information, ideas, notes and resources. (This could also be a binder, or an accordion file… whatever works for you, just as long as it’s all in one place.) Keep all wedding-related books, papers and other items in one place – the bookshelf in your home office, the corner of the guest bedroom – so that you always know where to find something. And finally, write everything down. Keep a “wedding notebook” and a detailed calendar where you can put everything in writing. Don’t assume you’ll remember – 47 details later it may be gone!

3. Get help.

The very best thing you could do for a stress-free experience (and a relaxing, stress-free wedding day) is hire a wedding consultant. Many couples feel that this just ‘isn’t for them’ and yet, without question, it could make the critical difference between having a fun, enjoyable wedding experience, and having a grueling one. You can find a consultant for every budget, and every penny spent will have a priceless return.

4. Take breaks.

It’s easy to get so wrapped up in all things wedding that you forget to see movies, visit with friends on non-wedding topics, catch up on the world news…

Take regular restorative breaks from wedding planning where you don’t think about, talk about, or work on anything wedding-related. And remember there is life beyond the wedding!

5. Cultivate gratitude.

When frustration or stress overwhelms you, take a moment to focus on everything going right, and everything in your life that is good. Write them down, or call a friend to share your ‘gratitude list.’ You’ll feel better in no time and regain your perspective. This is also a good time to take a break.

The secret to planning a fabulous, stress-free wedding and reception is finding the right venue. By addressing several issues before you book your location, you can avoid costly mistakes and unwanted surprises, and have the wedding and reception you’ve always dreamed of.

Start with a Plan Get started on the right foot with a plan of action which includes: potential ceremony and reception sites, date and time options, approximate number of guests, style and theme, and of course a budget.

Make a Budget The greatest factors that will affect your budget will be the number of guests you invite and where the money comes

from. An important thing to remember when trying to budget your wedding is that it is one day. It is the beginning of a future together and you don’t want money problems to be the way you start married life.

Your Guest List Your wedding is a very personal occasion only lasting a few short hours.

With such limited time it is difficult to devote your attention on your entire guest list. Limiting your guest list will not only allow you to focus your time on those you cherish most – dear friends and family, but it can also save you money.

How do you decide who to invite?

Consider who has been most important people in your lives. Aside from your immediate family, who do you spend time with outside the office?

To help reduce the level of discomfort among fringe friends and coworkers you don’t intend on inviting, try to exercise some discretion in sharing the on going details of your wedding. Later, you will be glad you did.

Finding the Right Location Begin by setting the wedding date, size, budget and style. Once these particulars have been established your next major decision will be the wedding and reception location. If you already have a place in mind contact the facility manager immediately to confirm the availability of the date you’ve selected

Absolutely Everything for Your Wedding!

{ ceremonies / receptions }

and to schedule an appointment for you and your fiancÊ to view the site. Don’t procrastinate! Choice locations are often booked one to two years out, and prime dates go fast.

If you have no idea where to hold your wedding or reception, try hotels, banquet halls, restaurants, community centers and country clubs. Other less obvious options are country inns, mountain resorts, historic homes or mansions, city parks, college or university facilities, art galleries, and museums. Each location offers its own unique style and ambiance.

Types of Facilities Some locations provide the majority of services you will need for your reception: catering, beverages, tables, chairs, tableware, linens and serving staff, making them a very convenient option.

They normally charge on a per person basis, and have a minimum guest requirement. Such locations include

{8}

www.PremierBrideIdaho.com

hotels, private clubs and restaurants.

Other locations offer the use of the facility only, providing no other services.

You supply nearly everything yourself, paying a flat fee for the use of the site.

The nice thing about these locations is the freedom to do everything your way, such as bringing in your own vendors or choosing from a list of preferred vendors.

Friday or Sunday Choosing a day not in high demand can be less expensive and less pressured, and there are other benefits as well.

Booking wedding services for Saturdays may need more advanced notice, but Fridays and Sundays can require less notice. You may find wedding vendors more open to negotiation, sometimes reconsidering price or adding extras.

On a Friday, you’ll probably have your wedding in the evening followed

{ weddings / receptions }

immediately by dinner. This means that you will avoid the extra cost and hassle of a one-to-two-hour interim reception or cocktail party. Having the ceremony and reception back to back may ensure more people at the church ceremony.

An Outdoor Wedding Increasingly popular for outdoor receptions is the use of party tents. They offer the ideal solution for couples who want to hold their celebration in a natural setting but would prefer not to have their guests wilting under a hot sun or melting under a drizzle.

Depending on the season in which you will wed, you might want to inquire about air conditioning or heating. Also, be sure to check on available parking or valet service.

Space Issues While it may seem obvious to say so, the venue you choose for your wedding must have enough space to accommodate all your guests. There should be enough room in the dining area to allow for comfortably arranged seating and a reasonable view of the newlyweds for everyone. There should also be enough space between tables for you to move around the room and mingle with your guests. The facility coordinator will know the maximum number of people who can fit in the space, as well as the best table arrangements.

Privacy & Entertainment Issues If your venue does multiple events, find out if there are other bookings at the same time or on the same day as yours. If so, ensure that there will be adequate privacy and separation for your party. There should also be ample time in between events to allow your caterer or other service people to set

Ceremony to Reception Transition In your search for the ideal site, keep in mind the convenience and comfort of your guests. The traveling distance from the ceremony to reception should not be much longer than half an hour by car.

{ weddings / receptions }

up or break down your party.

Whether you intend to have a DJ or a band, inquire about any possible restrictions regarding the type, volume or duration of music. Be sure to confirm that there is an adequate power supply for speakers, mixers and amplifiers, or good acoustics for string and wind instruments. Some sites have built-in public-address systems which can be used for introductions and toasts. If your site of choice doesn’t offer this equipment, make sure your DJ or musicians can provide it.

Other Factors to Consider If you are booking a location more than a few months out be sure to inquire about possible issues that could impact your wedding. Are there any planned renovations that could possibly overlap your wedding day? Is the property up for sale? If so, can they guarantee that the venue will still accommodate weddings under the new ownership? Ask to see photos taken during the season your wedding will be held. The grounds will look different in the fall than they do in the spring.

Site Inspection Now that you know what kind of venues to consider, here is what to look for during your tour. Bring along a digital camera and, of course, Premier Bride as your guide. If you are working with a consultant, ask them to join you as well. Be sure to inspect the layout, restrooms, and rental equipment.

What is included in the rental fee? Is any special staff or security required?

Are there any seasonal plants to be aware of that will look spectacular on your date?

Save-The-Date Send save-the-date cards as soon as you book the location, especially if the wedding date falls on or near a holiday or school break. A word of caution – make sure your budget will cover everything you want before sending save-the-date cards. Avoid committing yourself until you’re absolutely sure of how many guests your budget can accommodate. Once Absolutely Everything for Your Wedding!

{ 11 }

{ ceremonies / receptions }

your save-the-date cards have been sent you are committed to that guest list.

First Impressions Your guests will get their first impression of your reception as they enter the building. But first they have to be able to find it. Clear signage indicating the way to the reception or cocktail area is a must. Whether your party starts with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres outside on the terrace, then moves indoors later on for the meal and dancing, or the entire celebration is held in one room, make sure there is adequate space to receive everyone and to serve your guests while they await your arrival. You don’t want a backlog at the entrance because the doorway is too narrow.

People Power As with any event, there should be a designated person to keep the event running on schedule. This key person

may be a wedding coordinator, your caterer or the facility manager. They’ll be responsible for timing of the cocktail hour, prompting your guests for the meal, cueing the musicians for the first dance, and coordinating with the emcee for the champagne toast, cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss. If this person is affiliated with the facility, make sure you meet them and are comfortable with their style before you book.

Down to Details As you find wedding locations that seem to suit your style, ask about the following policies: catering, alcohol, bad weather, contingency plans, staffing availability, parking, decorating, deposits, refunds and insurance. Make sure you’re comfortable with the answers they give.

{ the perfect venue guide } locations and choice dates, such as Saturday afternoons and evenings are in high demand. Once you have found your dream site, book it immediately.

The Ceremony Setting the tone As your guests are being seated, the prelude sets the mood. The processional march introduces you and your attendants, and the recessional shouts pure joy. Organists and harpists are popular choices. Some churches may require that you use their organist, or not play secular music. You may wish to include another soloist such as a vocalist, flautist, violinist or pianist. Be sure to contact your musicians early to ensure the date.

Consider the space of your wedding hall. Even limited room allows you to use recordings of your favorite selections. If a close friend or relative is providing your wedding music, a gift is appropriate.

The Officiant of Your Choice Arranging the ceremony site, officiant and reception location should be the first order of business. Coordinating the exact date you want with all three can be very difficult if you wait too long into the planning process.

Before you begin, take time to examine how you and your fiancĂŠ envision the ceremony. Are there religious customs or traditions that either of you feel strongly about incorporating? What does your family expect?

Do you want to exchange traditional vows, or will you write your own?

Having a clear-cut picture of the ceremony you would like to have will help to narrow the selection of available clergy.

The magic of candlelight A dramatic addition to a late afternoon or evening wedding is created with the romantic glow of candles.

Candles can be lit as guests arrive, just before the mother of the bride is seated,

Some couples enhance their vows by lighting candles while they are at the altar, and by passing the flame between themselves, their families and the clergy.

Horse and Carriage Your carriage waits; white, beribboned and drawn by two white horses with flowing manes.

A horse and carriage is a wonderful way to enhance your wedding day and makes for wonderful photo opportunities. Gliding along in a horse drawn carriage will allow you the perfect opportunity to simply relax...making the moments last!

Seating Charts Seating charts can help guests seat themselves without using those elegant, hard-to-read place cards employed since the turn of the century and can be as elegant as place cards if done properly.

A prominently displayed graphic seating plan, typically 24”x36”, greets guests and quickly dispatches them to their designated places. The names and table numbers are presented in classic calligraphic style and the chart can be designed in a manner appropriate to the wedding’s style.

The Toast Just before the meal is served to the wedding party, it is tradition for the best man to propose a toast. All rise, except the bride and groom. After the toast, the groom may reply. Any other toasts are then appropriate.

The Meal Serve the meal or send people to the buffet in this order: bride, groom, maid of honor, best man, attendants, parents and then guests.

The First Dance It is tradition for the newlyweds to share the first dance after the first course and before the entree is served.

Your first dance as husband and wife should feature your special song, usually something romantic. The dance floor should be empty of other guests.

The Bouquet Toss Traditionally, the bouquet and garter toss take place near the end of the reception. To keep your original bouquet, have the florist create a special arrangement to be thrown.

Make it Yours By adding a couple of personal touches to your wedding, you’ll offer guests an inside look into your love story and the chance to be part of a meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

After the toasts, surprise the guests by raising your glasses to them. Thank them for being there and share your appreciation for all their support.

Everyone will love being addressed as an integral part of your day.

Personalizing your wedding simply means bringing a little bit of “YOU” into the day. Express yourself!

{ party rentals }

PARTY RENTALS... every last detail Depending on where you choose to hold your reception, you may find yourself in need of certain items not provided by your reception facility. Should this be the case, you will need to enlist the services of a party rental company.

The term “party rentals” covers a variety of rental items, including linens, chair covers, tables and chairs, tents, dance floors, fountains, plants, props and theme decorations.

If you are holding your reception in a hotel, most of the items listed above may be included in the overall cost. The need for various rental items increases when the event is held outdoors or at an event facility where you are required to provide your own caterer.

Before contacting a rental company it is recommended that you have the following information available: • Exactly what items are provided by the caterer: glass, flatware, china, buffet linens, and so on.

• Any items provided by the facility: tables, chairs, portable bar, and so on.

• Your event date, time and location • The number of guests attending • Any special requirements or themes Find out in advance what the delivery, set-up, pick-up and payment policies are.

Be sure to coordinate with the facility manager to ensure the location will open when your rental company drops off your order.

From the proper tent size for an outdoor wedding, to the portable dance floor complete with tables and chairs, a good rental company will work closely with you to determine exactly what and how many rental items will be needed to make your guests comfortable and your special occasion a complete success.

A bride by any other name

UPDATING YOUR IDENTITY Nowadays, many modern brides are choosing to retain their maiden name.

Some choose the addition of the groom’s last name and a hyphen, but this can be unwieldy. The movement back toward tradition has more brides than ever taking on their husband’s names. Legal wrangles can be minimized by quickly tending to the paperwork.

Bridal Style?

BUDGETING YOUR BIG DAY and finding ways to trim the fat Here are some tips to being financially smarter and keeping the sparkle in your wedding in a budget-savvy way: First, work out a realistic budget Sit down and ask yourselves: How much do we have in savings right now that we can use on the wedding? Then calculate how much you can save between now and then. Next, add on what your parents are willing to contribute, if anything. Finally, ask yourself if you are willing to go into debt to pay for some of the wedding. Think carefully about the last one – are you willing to sacrifice parts of your future (putting a down payment on a home, having children right away) for a lavish wedding? The total here is your overall wedding budget. Know it, and stick to it!

Then decide what’s most important Once you’ve added those components together, ask yourself what matters most at your wedding. Do your research and decide exactly how much those will be, and then find out if your remaining money will be enough to cover the rest of your expenses. If not, there are quite a few easy ways to trim some costly endeavors: • Do it yourself.

Advanced computer programs make it relatively easy and inexpensive to design some of the printed material you’ll need for your wedding. Craft your own centerpieces, enlisting the help of a friend or sister to do everyone’s hair and makeup or make your own jewelry. Don’t be afraid to ask around for friends and family who might be willing to help.

• Transport your funds elsewhere.

The drive to your reception would be just as memorable in your own decorated car with the best man serving as driver.

• It’s Friday, you’re in love.

Fridays and Sundays are still weekends, which is convenient for guests from out of town, but generally less costly than the popular Saturday.

Also, try to avoid holiday weekends or the most popular times of the year, such as Summer and early Fall.

• Guest list reductions.

If you still have a large amount of people you don’t want to say no to, consider hosting an informal, less expensive get-together later to spend time with the people you couldn’t invite.

• Bargain shop!

A wedding gown can be a huge portion of the budget, and it’s something you probably don’t want to settle for. Look for sample sales, special promotions and more simple, yet elegant, gowns. Also consider renting your gown instead of buying it.

• Save on Booze.

It’s poor etiquette to make your guests pay for ANY drink, but it’s perfectly appropriate to keep the options limited to beer, wine and soda, with mixed drinks available for cash purchase. Also depending on your reception site and/or caterer, ask if you can provide the liquor and beverages for the open bar, and look into buying your own beverages at a discount liquor store or wholesale club.

The most important thing to remember when trying to budget your wedding is that it is one day. It is the beginning of a future together and you don’t want money problems to be the way you start married life. Keep in mind that all your guests might not have their wedding favors in 50 years, but if you still have your love for one another, your wedding was a success.

the perfect gown for all shapes and sizes

No two brides are shaped alike. That means no two dresses will ever fit, look the same or accent your silhouette in exactly the same way it does another woman’s body. To begin, take into consideration the shape of your own body and the shape of the dress that you are holding in front of the mirror. Do these two items work together in a flattering way. What is most important on your big day is that you feature the parts of your body that are pleasing and hide those things that you’d rather not think about.

Absolutely Everything for Your Wedding!

Timing is also important so determine whether you will have an outdoor, morning, afternoon or evening wedding.

Evening weddings require more formality than those that take place during the day, but the most important thing is to accent your own personal style and personality.

Below are some tricks that you can try to in order to compliment your figure.

• Large busts might do good to be minimized. Think about pulling attention away from the bust and onto your beautiful face. You can do this by choosing an open neckline instead of tight bodices.

• You can’t get rid of your wide hips, but you can lose them by making your shoulders wider in a square neckline or try an empire waist that will draw the eye to the upper part of the body.

• If you are one of the few women who thinks she is too skinny then create what is not there with extra material and lots of beadwork and decoration. Even if you have a small bust you can make it look larger with the right kind of neckline.

When you begin your wedding gown search you will hear many styles being referred to from A-line to empire to ball gown to sheath and mermaid. An A-line flares out from a fitted waist and looks good on just about any bride. It can be either strapless or long sleeve and it is

{ 28 }

www.PremierBrideIdaho.com

truly a tried and true standby if you can’t find anything else that flatters your silhouette. The empire line creates height for those short women who need the extra inches and the bodice is usually cropped below the bust line. Good for boyish figures, the empire is quite feminine and romantic. A ball gown style is a must when trying to decrease your bust size. It includes a large skirt and the waistline is at your natural waist. For pear-shaped women you can’t go wrong and this style also lengthens the torso.

Sheaths are tight and elegant and can often have detachable trains – think one long dress with an unbroken line from top to bottom. A mermaid skirt is another tight fit and is especially good for those women who want to accentuate the curves. Form fitting on the top, the mermaid flares out toward the bottom usually with a gathered skirt.

Other terms that you might hear as you search for the perfect gown are trumpet silhouette gowns, which are good for showing off curvy bodies since the material flares out above the knees making a big statement. A bias cut gown works well on toned figures since it clings to the body showing all the right curves just before flaring out.

Waistlines also make a big difference, and in addition to the popular empire style there are a few others known as the

{ the wedding gown } basque waistline and the straight across waistline. The basque waistline is known for riding low on the hips and dipping down in the front in a point. If you are tall this will emphasize your figure, for shorter brides it could ride too low. This style of waistline is a good choice for brides trying to hide their hips. The straight across waistline is good for toned bodies and hourglass shapes. The exact place where this waistline hits is very important so measure accordingly or you might end up with it riding too low making you appear short and dumpy.

For a good rule of thumb surrounding any body type remember: • Petite frames look best in empire waists or sheaths.

• Tall women should consider offthe-shoulder fashions and full sleeves.

• Slim girls can wear full skirts and maybe even a blouson bodice.

• Too heavy women should try hiding the extra weight with an A-line design and forget about ruffles.

• A larger busted women will look good in a V or high-neck with little to no decoration added.

• Bigger hips require broad collars and perhaps even a flared skirt and don’t forget the A-line style either.

• Tiny waisted women should consider a clinched-in waistline.

• If you hate your short neck then don’t even consider high necklines or detail around the face.

• If you have worked hard to tone your back then show it off with a backless gown.

• Beautiful cleavage can also be flattered with a sweetheart neckline or a halter.

You will no doubt go through countless number of dresses before picking that special one. For all the rules that you are told to follow you never know when you might slip on a dress that goes against every fashion rule and yet still looks perfect on you.

PICK THE RIGHT DRESS STYLE fitting your body type We’re all different and it’s important to find a dress style that flatters your body. Emphasize the positive aspects and minimize your less-than-ideal areas that we all have. These are suggestions, and are NOT set in stone. The bottom line: try on many different styles – you’ll know the right one when you see it.

Petite/Short Sheath, A-line, or Mermaid are all flattering styles on a petite figure. To add height, combine a short sleeve or sleeveless dress with long gloves.

Also consider a dress with MERMAID a high neckline and empire waist to elongate your figure. Big ball gowns and veils that are longer than floor length can overwhelm a petite frame.

Pouf veils and up-do’s will add to your overall height.

Full Figured Ball gown or A-line styles are especially SHEATH flattering on fuller figures. The fitted waist and full skirt of a ball gown emphasizes your beautiful curves, and hides any figure “issues” below the waist. An A-Line silhouette will flatter practically any figure.

Consider a neckline with beading and other details to help draw the eye upward, and balance your silhouette.

Large Bust The following necklines work well with a large bust: keyhole, high, v-neck or illusion yoke. You may also want to consider

{ 30 }

BALL GOWN

finding a gown style that allows you to wear a bra with straps, for the best support. It’s all about proportion and balance. Consider a dress with beading, lace and other details around the hemline and the bottom half of the dress, versus the ILLUSION YOKE bodice.

Full Hips A-line, ball gown, flared skirt, or cinched waist styles are all very flattering to this body type. A broader neckline such as off-the-shoulder, Portrait, Bateau or Sabrina can help balance your overall silhouette nicely.

Small Bust While many styles can be flattering, consider styles that A-LINE include extra details – layering, beadwork, ruching, lacework, etc – around the bust line for fullness and balance. Have cups sewn into your gown’s bodice so you can eliminate the need for a bra – one less thing to worry about!

Hourglass The “curves-in-allthe-right-places” body looks great in simple, classic styles such as sheaths, mermaid, or a fitted princess gown.

Consider a v-neck, offPRINCESS the-shoulder or scoop neck – these necklines provide nice balance and proportion to an hourglass shape.

MAKE UP TIPS for a beautiful bride Make-up artists and estheticians may or may not be part of your daily life, but they should be a part of your wedding.

Their services can help you create a natural beauty that will look great in your wedding pictures without looking painted.

The best prelude to beauty is a facial, which most salons can provide. In your final week of preparation, a facial cleanses your skin to help create a healthy foundation for application.

A manicure is also a finishing touch well worth the time, especially if growing long, strong nails is not among your talents.

Nail tips look most natural when applied by a professional, and will help your own nails grow along with your marriage.

{ ceremonies { sweet / receptions things }

Cake What first? Think about the rest of your wedding. Your dessert should match your day, so take everything into account. If you have a paisley themed wedding at an indoor reception venue, a large tiered cake with paisley fondant would make a beautiful room centerpiece. If your day is going to be more princess pink, maybe you’ve considered a cupcake castle tower. A casual outdoor wedding is the perfect venue for a table of tasty and colorful candies or make-your-own ice cream sundaes. Did you meet at a baseball game? Order up a baseball stadiumshaped cake, complete with you two lovebirds in the stands! Do you share an interest such as running? Ask around for bakers who could make a replica cake of your running shoes tied together at the laces. Wedding cakes and desserts are one of the latest wedding designs to start challenging convention, so bakeries are always looking to keep up with the latest trends and really customize your dessert. So, if you have a sweet idea, find someone who can work with it.

Book Early! Demand for customized and intricate wedding desserts mean bakeries fill up quick for wedding weekends. It`s safe to have something booked six months in advance, especially if you`re getting married during high season. But don`t worry – this doesn`t mean you have to know exactly what you want so far ahead of time. First, shop around in general for bakeries, and when you find one you think can satisfy your needs for taste, quantity, efficiency and personality, book a date. Then, you can really work with a pro to determine exactly what it is you want.

So‌how do I find the bakery? Trusting your gut is always sound advice, especially so when it comes to a food decision! Any dessert

휇휇휇휇휇휇

{ 45 }

{ sweet ceremonies things/ }receptions }

should be delicious, so your tasting is important. Make sure you sample all they have to offer that interests you. But since this isn`t an ordinary dessert you`re ordering, make sure you’re comfortable with the efficiency and professionalism of the bakery as well. They should return your calls and emails on time, be flexible with you and your needs, be willing to customize your dessert, be familiar with your reception venue and guarantee an on-time dessert, including of course set-up, delivery, and clean-up if necessary. You don’t want to be worrying about if your cake is going to show up on your big day. As with every wedding decision you make, don`t be afraid to switch bakeries or make demands if you don`t feel comfortable with the service you´re receiving.

And the cost… Cakes are typically priced by the slice, which is generally anywhere from $1.50 to $6.50 per slice, depending on the style, ingredients, size and decorating. Your reception site or caterer may also charge a plating fee as well, often $.50 to $1.50 per

{ 46 }

www.PremierBrideIdaho.com

person, to cut and serve the cake. Ask about this, and if there is a plating charge see if it’s negotiable.

Cutting the Cake. Most likely your baker will provide tips for you and your new spouse to accomplish the time-honored task of cutting the cake with ease. Plan ahead to have your cake knife and lifter engraved or decorated with ribbons or fresh flowers.

Traditionally, the bride grasps the knife with her right hand and the groom covers her hand with his. Together, the couple glides the knife into the delicious masterpiece while flashbulbs pop.

Anniversary cakes. Some bakeries offer ‘anniversary cakes’ as part of their bridal packages. Instead of having to freeze the top layer of your wedding cake (which doesn’t always freeze well, or taste that great a year later), the bakery will make you a fresh cake, often in the same style and flavor as your wedding cake, for your one-year anniversary.

Centerpiece cakes. Pull double duty and use a beautiful wedding cake as the centerpiece for each of your tables. Some ambitious newlyweds stop at each table to cut and serve their guests the cake, which is a beautiful idea, but depending on the timetable and the number of tables this won’t work for everyone.

Cupcake Tower. Individual cupcakes are fun, the perfect serving size and allow for all kinds of decorating freedom you might not have with a traditional cake. Cupcake arrangements could be anything from a tower that resembles a traditional tiered cake to something more inventive such as mismatched layers of different colored cupcakes over decorated shelves.

Make-Your-Own-Sundae! Who doesn´t love an ice cream sundae? Think of every topping you can, and then some, then let your guests run wild. Perfect for an outdoor summer wedding or one with lots of children, your guests will be craving this at every wedding they attend after yours. The makeyour-own theme can also be popular with the cupcakes, if you provide a few types of frostings and toppings.

Sound Entertainment 휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇 finding the perfect disc jockey

A veteran wedding DJ not only plays the music, but also acts as an emcee for the event, smoothly introducing your wedding party, arranging to have champagne poured before the toast, announcing the cake-cutting and a myriad of other milestone moments throughout the reception. The DJ will be an integral part of your celebration, which is why you should take care to hire a disk jockey with a personality and style you like. Decide in advance how much you would like your DJ to say and how interactive you would like him to be with the audience. A disc jockey with an extensive repertoire and experience can tailor the presentation to the needs of the occasion.

Arrange a meeting with prospective disc jockeys and listen to their expertise on previous receptions. They may have some ideas that you’ll want to incorporate into your affair. Ask about musical selections, old and new. Don’t be dismayed if they don’t have obscure songs, but gauge their willingness to track them down. Also arrange to see them perform. Once you’ve decided on a DJ service, be prepared to provide a list of songs you would, and would not, like played at your reception, as well as the song for your first dance. Give your DJ the freedom to truly entertain your guests by mixing a few of your personal preferences with a balance of tried and true reception crowd pleasers. An experienced entertainer will know how to read the crowd and keep the party jumping, but only if you let them.

Should you plan on having your disc jockey emcee the reception, provide a schedule of events. If you are on a stringent time schedule, make sure you convey the importance of strict adherence. If there are any special

introductions to be made, make sure you review the correct pronunciation of the names and relay what the person’s relationship is to the bride and groom.

After the first dance of the bride and groom, it is common for the DJ to play something upbeat and celebrating. Light dance tunes are generally played through dinner so your guests can relax and easily converse.

Lastly, make sure the contract covers all of the bases: the day, date and time of the event; address of the site; number of hours covered; overtime cost; total cost; and payment arrangements. If you’re pleased with your DJ’s performance offer a tip at the end of the event that reflects your satisfaction.

What’s your wedding style? After you’re engaged and before you’re knee-deep in wedding planning, take some time with your sweetie and discuss your unique wedding vision. Maybe it isn’t the large, formal, Saturday evening affair. Or, maybe it is. Either way, it should ultimately reflect the two of you.

The most critical part of the wedding: the marriage license. Without it, you can’t get married.

Call the office in your county that handles marriage licenses, and get all of the important details, such as when you need to apply, how much it costs, and what types of payment are accepted. Do this far in advance of the wedding!

Track those gifts and thank you notes. It’s so important to have a fool-proof system to record gifts received and thank you notes sent. With a flood of gifts coming in, and so many notes to write, if you rely solely on memory you’ll become quickly overwhelmed. Thoughts of “did we send Aunt Velma a thank you note yet?” can haunt you.

Use the buddy system for out-of-town guests. Try to assign a friendly, outgoing family member or close friend to any out-of-town guests, to act as their ‘ambassador’ for the wedding weekend. The ambassadors can greet guests at the airport, take them to the hotel, and suggest things to do. This makes out-of-towners feel welcome.

Know your postage. Once you have a completed invitation available, take it to the post office and get it weighed, so that you’re absolutely positive of the postage required on your invites.

And don’t forget that square invites require more postage because the automated machines can’t read them - they don’t know which way is ‘up.’

Is your ring insured? As soon as you bring your engagement ring home, make sure that your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy is updated to offer adequate protection in the event of a loss or theft. Take the time needed to learn the details of the coverage – what is and is not covered, etc.

Capture your day on video. If your budget is tight, consider hiring a good videographer to get quality ‘raw footage’ of your day. You can always go back later to create an edited summary set to music, but you can’t ever go back to your wedding day!

Be a happy bachelorette. Be clear and articulate with your bridesmaids about the type of bachelorette party you would like to have. You don’t have to dictate the details, but if you want an ‘intimate gathering of friends to talk’ and they’re planning a ‘wild night at strip clubs’ you may feel a wee bit disappointed, not to mention uncomfortable.

No facials the week before the wedding! Unless you’re a facial-getting regular, don’t get one just before the wedding. It can bring impurities to the surface and you don’t want to break out on your Big Day. Don’t make any major changes to your skin care routine the weeks before, for the same reason.

Need a limo? Know the busy seasons! If your wedding is around the holidays or prom time, be sure to book your transportation well in advance, five to six months before the Big Day.

ALL PHOTOS THIS PAGE BY LINDY PHOTOGRAPHY

a picture perfect day There is simply no better way to capture and preserve the memories of your special day than with a collection of beautiful photographs that not only document the day’s events, but also capture the emotions and spirit of your wedding.

Absolutely Everything for Your Wedding!

{ 51 }

Photography is simply not a component of your wedding planning to treat lightly! Invest the time, attention and budget necessary to ensure that your wedding memories will be preserved for the future. Photography is simply not a component of your wedding planning to treat lightly! Invest the time, attention and budget necessary to ensure that your wedding memories will be preserved for the future.

WHAT’S YOUR STYLE? Start by determining which style of wedding photography is right for you and your fiancÊ. Here are brief descriptions of the three main styles:

Formal or traditional This style produces color, posed portraits of you and your groom, your wedding party, and your families, along with all of the traditional wedding moments such as the cake cutting and bouquet/garter toss.

{ 52 }

www.PremierBrideIdaho.com

Photojournalistic This style is a popular trend in wedding photography, and it means your photographer will be shooting your wedding as if it’s a news event, capturing hundreds of candid moments on film.

These photographers tend to use more black & white film, for a classic, timeless and emotional effect.

Artistic Artistic photographers use a variety of special effects to create a dramatic, oneof-a-kind piece of art. Effects could include double exposures, hand tinting, special borders and much more.

Most photographers offer a blend of two or more styles, but tend to specialize in, and focus on, just one. If you like the photojournalistic style, but want some posed formal portraits to showcase your families or the day’s special moments, find a photographer that can comfortably do both.

So which style is right for you? The first step is to think about the end product: What is most important to you, to have after your wedding? Do you definitely want to have beautiful, timeless, color portraits of you and your groom that you can elegantly frame and display? Do you want a large number of candid, heartfelt moments – many captured in black & white, to document your day? Are you envisioning a one-ofa-kind, artistic piece to hang on your wall after the wedding that incorporates one or more images from the big event?

To help you, take a look at friends’ wedding albums, surf around professional photographer’s web sites, clip photos from magazines of photography that moves you, and spend some time in photographers’ booths at wedding shows. All of this research will help you zero in on what style of photography you seem drawn to, and ultimately, which one you want to use for your wedding.

{ photography }

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER Once you’ve established the style that is best for you, it’s time to find a professional photographer that meets your needs. Start the process by collecting referrals from friends, reviewing helpful resources like Premier Bride, attending bridal shows and surfing the Internet.

Create a short list of potential photographers that specialize in the style you desire, based on their work and your budget, and set up an in-person or phone consultation with them.

Your goal at this consultation is to evaluate three main areas: 1. Do you like their work? Be sure to see complete wedding albums along with individual photos, to get the best idea of the end product you can expect to receive. Also, be very sure that you know exactly WHO will be shooting YOUR wedding – and view their work, as some

{ 54 }

www.PremierBrideIdaho.com

larger studios have more than one photographer.

2. Do your personalities mesh? Of all your wedding vendors, the photographer is the one vendor with whom you will spend a good deal of time on your wedding day. You want to feel comfortable with this person! Even if he or she is a great photographer, if your personalities just don’t ‘click’ – you may want to keep looking.

3. Do they fit your budget? It’s so critical to have a budget amount in mind before looking for a photographer, so that you can feel confident that the one you’ve decided on, and love, also meets your financial requirements.

THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF A PHOTOGRAPHY PACKAGE As you’re selecting your photographer, it may help to be aware of the various elements generally included in wedding photography packages. Most

{ photography } photographers also offer these elements ‘a la carte,’ or can create a custom package that specifically meets your needs – so be sure to ask.

Bride & Groom’s Album There are a wide variety of wedding albums available today, and they vary in size, color, material, construction and price. When comparing different photographers’ bride & groom albums, be sure you’re noting the quantity of photos and in what sizes, to make sure you’re comparing “apples to apples.”

Parents’ albums The parents’ albums are smaller versions of the bride & groom album, and have traditionally included about twenty 5x7 photographs. Photos should be carefully selected for each family, to create two (or more) custom family albums.

Extra prints You will probably want to order extra photographs in addition to the main album and parents’ albums, for yourself or your parents to have some framed portraits at home, for members of the wedding party, and for other close friends and family members. Don’t underestimate how many prints you will want after the wedding, as this will definitely impact your budget.

Proofs Ask your photographer how many proofs you will get, and in what format.

They may be provided as small photos, in digital format, on the Internet, or on contact sheets.

Engagement photograph This is a posed portrait of the newly engaged couple, which can be sent to newspapers with information announcing your engagement. You may also choose to put a framed engagement photo by the guest book at your reception.

Ask the Right Questions Your photographer’s personality is as important as their skill – you’ll be spending lots of time with them on your wedding day!

• Will you be taking the pictures? If not, can I meet the person who will be taking the pictures?

• How long have you been shooting weddings?

• What do your photography packages include?

• What style of photography do you specialize in?

• Have you photographed at my ceremony and reception location before?

• How many other weddings do you have on this date? How long can you stay?

• Do you offer online ordering for my guests?

• When will proofs be ready? How long can we keep them?

• Can we purchase negatives or order additional prints later?

• What happens if you are sick or have an emergency on my wedding day?

• How far in advance must I book your services?

• What is your cancellation policy?

• Is a deposit required? If so, when and how much?

WHO WOULDN’T LIKE A NICE BRIGHT, HEALTHY SMILE? A smile is the universal sign of joy and congeniality. When we have teeth that make us self-conscious, it interferes with our desire to smile. There are two answers to this problem: either smile anyway, or repair the smile. While anyone looks better with a smile no matter what the condition of their teeth, it can be much more fun if you are proud of your smile.

Veneers are a way to correct crooked, stained or otherwise unsightly teeth. A veneer is a little shell of porcelain that bonds to the front of the tooth. Sometimes simple bonding of a composite tooth-colored filling material can accomplish a limited task. In any case, the smile is improved, and people can change their whole demeanor if they are no longer afraid to smile.

Different modifications to porcelain have overcome problems with strength, abrasiveness, accuracy, appearance, etc.

Dentists are now successfully restoring

broken-down teeth with all-porcelain crowns and onlays that look indistinguishable from natural teeth and have great longevity. All-porcelain restorations seem to have “cemented” their place in the dentist’s repertoire.

One way to brighten your smile inexpensively is to bleach. Most bleaching systems contain hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in some concentration. This removes stain from tiny cracks and fissures in the enamel of the tooth. Dentists can prepare a custom bleach tray with a higher concentration of the active ingredient. Finally “in-office bleaching” can be performed by the dentist. This requires isolation of the teeth with a thin sheet of rubber and a high concentration of the peroxide. Often the teeth are sensitive to temperature afterward and the cost is significantly higher. Bleaching provides a safe and fairly simple way of improving the appearance of a smile.

Photo Booths 휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇휇 capturing the emotion of your guests

A wedding is just one day, so everyone knows photos are a great way of capturing the excitement and emotion for years to come. The professional photographer usually does a great job of snapping the couple, but pics of your friends and family members celebrating with you will be great mementos going forward.

A fun, plucky alternative can be to get a photo booth. Photo booth rentals are becoming popular at wedding receptions –not only do you get too see everyone in their finest for your big day, but they can take home a quality memory from the wedding.

Photo booth rentals are different in size and output. Some give guests prints of their pictures right away, in the traditional photo booth setting, with the four black and white prints on one single strand. This is a great way to give guests a souvenir right away, especially because it’s a unique type of print.

Other photo booths just continuously shoot throughout the night, and provide the couple with a digital record of all the shots taken. Then, guests could go to an online database to choose which photos they want and print them at their own convenience.

The newest innovation in photo booths is a flip book, which is more interactive and involves a true keepsake for everyone. With a flip book, a representative from the company is on hand, acting as kind of a mini-director encouraging guests to perform skits or don playful costumes. At the end, it’s put together into a video and everyone receives a copy.

One fun way to really spice up the

photos is to supply props like goofy hats, accessories, or fake mustaches for guests to poke around with. A chalkboard or dry erase board is also fun, so family and friends can doodle a special message or sentiment and capture it on film. A giant, decorative frame is another fun prop to create the picture-within-a-picture look.

When deciding on a rental, choose one where you can really customize it, if you’d like. You could ask for the background to be matching the colors of the wedding, or add your names or the date to a sign at the top of the photo. But no matter how basic it is, your family and loved ones smiling faces will make it a truly personal memory!
