/ REHEARSAL DINNERS /

Rehearsal Dinners 101: Choosing the Perfect Venue The rehearsal dinner is a casual or formal gathering for the wedding party before the wedding that provides an opportunity for both families to get to know one another in a fun, relaxed environment. It’s a time to mingle, do a gift exchange, offer toasts, and provide some last-minute instruction about the actual wedding details. Rehearsal dinners vary as much as the wedding itself. They can be formal banquets or garden parties, casual picnics, or even a BBQ.

WHO TO INVITE Turn the dinner into a fabulous welcome party - if your wedding is mostly local

14 Provo Weddings // Spring 2020

friends and family but a few key people traveled far to come to your wedding, extend the invitation to them as a thank you for their extra effort. If you’re throwing a destination wedding or a party where at least half of the guests are from out of town, show your appreciation by inviting everyone to some kind of night-before festivity.

WHERE TO HAVE IT A sit-down dinner at a hotel ballroom or nice restaurant is the norm, but there’s no right or wrong when you plan your rehearsal dinner. Restaurants are ideal for


many because couples can focus on the more meaningful details - knowing that the food is taken care of! However, relaxing in a nice backyard, at an art museum, or even on the beach are perfectly acceptable locations. It just depends on your style and budget.

SOME POINTERS

from the pros!

WHEN TO INVITE YOUR GUESTS To help your guests manage their schedules, send out invitations with, or shortly after, your wedidng invitations. This will not only help your guests plan their travel, but ensure timely RSVPs.

HOW TO INVITE YOUR GUESTS If your rehearsal dinner will be at a high end restaurant, hotel ballroom, etc., you should send formal invitations. If, on the other hand, your rehearsal dinner will be more casual, such as an intimate gathering at your future in-laws home, then you can be more casual with your invitations. You can send e-vites or send DIY invites. Make sure it’s clear to your guests where they need to be and when. Your guests will want to dress appropriately, so details are important!

We had our daughter’s wedding reception here in January. The booking and setup was easy and the event space was perfect. The space is easy to decorate (or not decorated because it’s already very nice). Highly recommended!

The people were very easy to work with and accommodating. We had a reception in the vineyard and it was magical! I had many people comment on how beautiful the venue was. I am definitely going to recommend Shade Nursery as a place to hold an event!

6 Things to Consider When

Choosing a Wedding Cake!

CHECK WITH THE VENUE Some wedding venues don’t allow you to bring in an outside cake. It’s important to check with your wedding venue first, and find out if there’s a fee for not getting your cake through them. You’d be surprised how much it can cost per slice to make arrangements to bring in your own cake.

SIZE IT CAREFULLY You should have a good idea of how many guests you expect at your reception. Let your cake decorator know that, as well as how confident you are in that number. You want to avoid getting more cake than you need, but you also don’t want to be short handed. Take the advice of your cake decorator on this topic. They do this for a living!

SHOP IT AROUND Wedding cakes are an important part of your wedding, and like everything else, you should shop around for the best service. The best service isn’t always just who has the lowest price. You want to know how easy it is to communicate with the cake decorator. You’ll also want to read ample reviews to know how others feel about their experiences.

THE FROSTING Fondant does NOT replace buttercream on cakes. It is a beautiful ‘skin’ placed over the

26 Provo Weddings // Spring 2020

outside layer of buttercream or ganache, providing a perfectly smooth surface with a stronger structure, more heat resistance, & a whole new world of decorating options. Without a smooth layer of frosting underneath, fondant won’t stick to the cake properly & will show every imperfection. Fondant does not affect the taste or the inside of the cake at all, so design the outside of the cake to your heart’s content. A good baker will have several generous layers of buttercream filling between the cake layers as well as on the outside underneath the fondant. Very few weddingsized cake slices even touch the outside of the cake, so it’s important that the inside has a nice cake-to-buttercream ratio. With cakes, as with people, it’s what’s INSIDE that counts!

WEATHER & LOCATION Your options may be limited based on if you’re having an indoor or outdoor wedding.If you’re having your reception in July at a outdoor wedding venue, then you’ll need to avoid buttercream or whipped cream frosting. Nothing is worse than an icky mess that doesn’t hold up in warmer weather.

VENDOR COLLABORATION Many couples choose to put fresh flowers on their wedding cakes. If this is the case, you need to make sure your florist and cake decorator are able to communicate. Make sure you know whether it’s the florist or the cake decorator that’s going to add these final touches.

HOW MUCH DO WEDDING FLOWERS COST?

HOW DO I GET EDITORIAL STYLE BRIDAL IMAGES?

HOW DO I SORT THROUGH ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT’S OUT THERE?

The answer is... it depends. Some people might spend a few hundred dollars while others are comfortable with a couple thousand! There is no ‘’one size fits all’’ since every couple has a different taste, budget, venue and vision of what they want their big day to look like. The best way to receive an adequate estimate is to meet with a Floral Designer to discuss your needs. It’s always a good idea to come prepared to your consultation with pictures of floral arrangements that speak to you. In any case, your Floral Designer will work with you to make your dream wedding possible within your means.

If you want that magazine cover look it is all about involving the right creatives. Choose a photographer who’s work reflects that editorial style. Invest in the talents of a makeup artist, hair stylist, florist, even a wedding planner. Incorporate soft and dreamy colors in a bouquet, boutineer, decorated table set for two, an arch or backdrop and a gorgeous location in a white wall studio or in a field or meadow with lots of sky. You want all the focus on you and your gorgeous details. Photographers love editorial sessions and are so willing to help you take it to the next level. Your photos will look like they belong on a wedding magazine cover!

The moment you get engaged, you might find yourself surrounded by well-meaning friends and family who are suddenly experts in wedding traditions and etiquette. Many of my brides can feel overwhelmed by all of the (sometimes, contradictory) advice and find that some of it may conflict with their own ideas of how they envisioned their wedding day and details. My advice to the couple is to stay true to yourselves! Wedding guests know you, and as long as the wedding reflects who you are, it will brim with love and charm.
