Editor’s Letter HERE AT AFFINITY WEDDINGS, we want to focus on the bride.

Publisher Pratia Jordan

We’re developing a program, a magazine, dedicated to leading her down a successful path toward her wedding day and beyond. That’s

why we have advertisements from proven vendors, why we want to hear what brides have to say and make sure we include resources they want to see. We want to make sure that we provide the best advice on

everything from style to food, from the earliest stages to the latest in your lives.

We also want to make sure we show our brides as the three-dimensional people that they are.

In this issue, we show the “Everyday Bride,” providing images that prove that brides come from every walk of life, from a variety of careers and interests. People sometimes forget that brides are individuals, often grouping them together into one white-dress wearing group of single-minded women. Because of the excitement of the wedding day, because the bride so often steals the show, we tend to forget how unique she truly is. We also used this shoot to prove that no matter who you

Website Team Rabeesh Rajappan Digital Marketing Keerthi VS

We also want to represent a diversity of tastes in our magazine. We want you to have the perfect Brides may often have the singular goal of walking down the aisle (or pathway, or sidewalk, or whatever your “aisle” is to you) to exchange vows with their beloved, but the ways in which she will choose to fill her special day are unique and varied. And that’s what we want our wedding magazine to reflect. We will not simplify you. We will provide you with suggestions and recommendations and trends that can serve as a basis to make your wedding day all that you want it to be.

The wedding process can be long and a little bit complex, but we want you to enjoy it. We’re here to help you do just that.

Love, Chelsea Carrick

WHAT’S

HOT The wedding trends right now all point to classy, timeless weddings.

Understated sophistication and vintage glamour is laying its claim on weddings across the country. Colors are subtle in hue and the florals elicit a high-style presence that exude never-ending romance.

FASHION FORWARD PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT TREND we should discuss involves your wedding dress. This is one of the most important items you will buy, so it makes sense to discuss this first. So, what are the major trends for brides this year? For one, plunging necklines are very in. It’s a bold, skin baring decision to make, but there’s no doubt that you will stun if you go for one of those beautiful dresses. Speaking of showing skin, off the shoulder dresses and bare backs are also in.

Another major trend rocking the wedding world? Big bows. A bow placed around the waist adds the perfect amount of character to a wedding dress. And it’s the same with ruffles and tiered skirts, which are also an incredibly popular dress trend right now.

{ AFFINITY WEDDINGS

011 }

THE COOLEST COLORS BLUSH ROSE IS THIS YEARS COOLEST WEDDING COLOR. Pink is the contemporary “it” color, but this shade also remains a classic and timeless shade. And what works well with this subtly sophisticated pink? Copper, rose gold, and pewter. These work really well as accent colors because they’re versatile and pop no matter where they’re placed. Be careful about how much you use though. Place it strategically so that it doesn’t overwhelm your guests. Rely on it as

{ 012

• AFFINITY WEDDINGS }

an accent color in your decor rather than as a primary piece.

Another color palette perfect for this year’s bride are neutral palettes. Utilizing bluegreys in your wedding scheme is a tasteful way to remain trendy even as years pass.

You’ll look at your wedding photos later and will never cringe with regret. It’s subtle sophistication is perfect for the bride who wants a more stylish feel.

{ AFFINITY WEDDINGS

013 }

BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS THIS YEAR’S MOST REQUESTED FLOWER are the “soft-petal” flowers that encompass romance. Peonies, garden roses, and dahlias are in increasingly high demand. You can use rose petals as a table runner or scatter them amongst your wedding decor.

Another floral trend at the moment is the tall trumpet vase. Perfect for housing extravagant floral arrangements, the trumpet vase is ideal for holding together the linear look that is so in-style at the moment. While an elegant, linear look may be in - complete cohesion is not. Mix it up by varying your center piece designs.

They are just so good. And so easy to eat with your hands. They offer flexibility - you can get as creative with your flavors as you see fit.

The Hotel Housekeeper A bride to be might just be the one vacuuming the hotel floor and making sure sheets are changed. While those rubber gloves might be hiding the engagement ring of her dreams, there’s no doubt that she’s thinking about it.

Don’t think that just because this woman is folding sheets and taking out the trash that she can’t also clean up for her wedding day. She might be down scrubbing on her hands and knees right now, but on her wedding day she will be standing tall and strutting her stuff down the aisle and beyond. photo Kayla Smith Photography

This bride might be thinking about her soon-to-be-legally-binding nuptial vows, but she also has her head filled with a whole host of unrelated-to-thewedding legal jargon. The aisle she’s walking down now is in a courtroom, and while all eyes might be on her for that, she’s also eager to stun the next time she presides over a different kind of legal gathering: her own wedding.

The lawyer can rock a wedding dress the same way she rocks a blazer: total control. But don’t think that just because she spends most of her days in the rigidity of a courtroom battle or legal meeting that she can’t loosen it up to party the night away on her wedding day.

This beaming bride spends her days training future world leaders, doctors, other teachers, and many other professions that the children gathered around her will pursue. Right now, her time is filled with planning her flowers and talking to the caterer. But it also consists of filling young mind’s with the knowledge they need succeed.

Don’t think for a second that just because this woman spends her days surrounded by small children and a barrage of questions and sticky fingers that she is not ready to engage in one of the most symbolically romantic days of her life.

Hair jewelry is the new, cool way to spruce up your look. A hair necklace is more than a typical hair accessory, it’s a stunning and legitimate piece of jewelry that’s gaining steam. It’s a great way to make your look more shimmery, your hairstyle of choice a little bit more unique.

These brides are all gathered here today to celebrate their lives both as brides and as people. Don’t ever think that the profession defines the bride, or that a job a woman has implies that she will ever be a less beautiful bride than any other. It’s a lot of work planning for a wedding. Making sure everything is just right for the big day can be quite the challenge, but we can’t forget about the everyday challenges that our brides take head-on every single day. Whether it’s cleaning up a hotel room she didn’t even sleep in, or crushing that big case, brides deserve respect not only for the wives they will be, but for the people that they already are. { AFFINITY WEDDINGS

No Hairdresser?

NO PROBLEM. HERE ARE THE SEASON’S BEST DIY UP-DO’S

Weddings can be expensive, and maybe shelling out for a hairdresser just isn’t quite in your budget right now. Paying someone to style your hair, along with all of your bridesmaid’s, can get a little pricey. But with a little patience and practice, we’ll get you started styling in no time.

And nobody will even know that you didn’t spend hundreds of dollars on professional styling. All of these styles can be used for the bride or the bridesmaid, depending on what you’re looking for.

need. Add more spray as need be as well.

HALF AND HALF Maybe you don’t want your hair pulled fully back, but you want to keep it out of your eyes. Here are the best looks for you.

THE SIDE PONY The side pony is classic. It always looks good, and it is so incredibly doable. For this look, it’s a good idea to use styling spray to add volume and help your hair keep its hold. Smooth your hair on top so that it looks as smooth and sleek as you want it. Take that section and pin it behind your head using bobby-pins. Take the rest of your hair and tie it in a ponytail next to your neck. You can cover this section with a more elegant hair ribbon to match your dress.

{ 060

• AFFINITY WEDDINGS }

GO A LITTLE EDGY If your everyday side pony is a little to tame for you, we have the perfect style for curly (while this works best with naturally curly hair, you could do this with the help of a curling iron as well) hair that will look just a little wild, but very unique. First, create a very deep side part and begin a french braid on the side with less hair.

Braid all the way and then secure with bobby pins. Depending on how wild you wanna go, you can spray and volumize your curls to your liking.

{ AFFINITY WEDDINGS

061 }

LET YOUR HAIR DOWN Old Fashioned Hollywood Waves: Do you want to exude that old Hollywood glamour? This is the perfect look for you.

It’s simple to do, but absolutely stunning.

To do this, break your into sections and twist them diagonally next to your neck.

All of your hair will be to the side, but separate the sections using bobby pins. Use a 1” curling iron and wrap each section from bottom to top. Curl each piece in the same way. Once the curls curl, brush them downward. Find where each wave in your hair is and place clips there to define each one.

Styling your hair doesn’t have to be a major expense for you. With a mirror, a friend, and a little practice, you can style your own hair to your liking!
