How to Save Money on a Wedding Gown Easy Ways to Get a Wedding Dress on a Budget By Zawn Villines Many brides have dreamed about their wedding gown since they were children, so it’s easy to understand how a wedding dress can quickly become the most expensive item in a wedding budget. But you shouldn’t have to drive yourself into debt for a dress you’ll only wear once, no matter how pretty it is. You can save money on your wedding dress if you plan ahead and are willing to invest a little bit of time for a big financial payoff. Go Secondhand Several online marketplaces sell dresses from brides who either didn’t get married or are re-selling their old wedding dresses. These dresses are frequently steeply discounted, and are often still highly trendy. With a good tailor, you can even purchase a dress in a different size or a slightly different cut than you’d prefer. Similarly, vintage dresses are a hot fashion commodity and can save you mega bucks. Start shopping early at Goodwill, secondhand stores and vintage outlets. If you find a dress you love, a good tailor can usually fix small tears and alter the dress to your body. You might even be able to get
a dress for only a few bucks! Vintage dresses are especially good choices for casual weddings because you can simply buy an elegant white dress and add gorgeous jewelry to dress it up for your wedding. Sample Sales Lots of retailers have sample sales a few times a year. Dresses are sold as-is, which means you’ll need to have the dress altered. But these dresses are steeply discounted and have typically only been used as models on mannequins or in advertisements. They are also frequently representative of the latest seasonal trends. Department Stores Many department stores have small bridal sections. You won’t be paying for the look and feel of an expensive bridal boutique and can end up saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the dress of your dreams. Early Bird Discounts Tailoring Don’t be shy about asking your A good tailor is your best friend bridal salon for a discount. Many when you’re trying to save money on bridal boutiques offer discounts if you order your dress early or on the same a wedding dress. Consider buying a dress off the rack at a bridal shop and day you try it on.
then taking it to a tailor for alterations. Alternatively, buy a basic, simple dress and have a tailor add lace, pearls and embroidery to dress it up.

SPECIAL PACIFIC SYMPHONY LEAGUE EVENT MELDS ART, MUSIC, FASHION AND DINING A glamorous and enchanting afternoon of music, art and fashion comes to Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach when Pacific Symphony’s prized support group, the Pacific Symphony League, hosts a fund-raising luncheon to benefit music education programs. Chaired by League member Gwen Williams— fashion entrepreneur, performer and art collector—the luncheon features renowned Beverly Hills designer Ricco Antonio showcasing his latest custom-designed dresses and evening gowns in a fashion show, with music by vocalist and digital keyboard player Jim Roberts. The setting is embellished with original artwork by celebrity artist Pilar Wayne and music by the Laguna Flutes, led by the Symphony’s own flute and piccolo player, Cynthia Ellis, which provide an eclectic, jazzy and fresh mix of flute arrangements. Livening up the event even more are both a silent and live auction! Taking place Monday, June 11, at 11 a.m., the luncheon is open to anyone with a love for the arts and/ or a keen eye for fashion. The cost to attend is $100. For reservations Page 6
please contact Leslie Fay Vaeth at (714) 876-2374 or lvaeth@pacificsymphony.org. For more information on the Pacific Symphony League, please visit www.PacificSymphony. org (under heading “Support and Events”). The Laguna Flutes performance includes a variety of styles and historical periods with piano accompaniment, from arrangements of Bartok’s “Rumanian Dances” and Boyce’s Symphony No. 1, to original works by Catherine McMichael: “A Gaelic Offering” and “Floris.” Two other original works for flute ensemble “Purple Earth” by Samantha Cooke and “Divertimento-Jazz” by Raymond Guiot, are also being showcased. As the flutes play, a silent auction gets underway and Wayne’s art collection takes center stage. A Peruvian born, multitalented artist, Wayne (former wife of actor John Wayne), is world renowned for her passion for art and music. She has created among her works of art, a collection of still nature, beautiful women, belly dancers, “Glamour Girls” as well as a group of images from the world of Hollywood. Wayne is also a notable
The Newport News
author having published several books including her autobiography “John Wayne—My Life with The Duke,” and two well-received cookbooks. While enjoying the fashion show, guests of the luncheon are treated to chilled golden beet soup shooters, for starters, followed by a marinated grilled chicken salad with pear, walnuts, almonds and raisin salad, and for dessert, a chocolate mousse with a raspberry partisan macaroon. Antonio’s creations have been featured at Saks 5th Ave, Lord and Taylor and can now be found in stores from Palm Beach to Beverly Hills. He has designed for Hollywood’s elite in the film and television industries, including his current list of prominent, yet very private, Beverly Hills society clientele. Before designing his fashion line, Antonio was a professional dancer, touring through Latin America, Europe and the United States. The event finishes with a live auction featuring exciting items, including an Original Antonio evening gown, custom designed for the winning bidder, a giclée print of “La Dolce Vita” by
The late John Wayne with Pilar Wayne
Wayne, a one-night stay and brunch for four at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, jewelry, French champagne and more—with all proceeds benefiting Pacific Symphony. Founded in 1990, the Pacific Symphony League is a group of 150 men and women who share a love for music and music education for young people. Members of the League volunteer at Symphony education programs and raise funds to support the Symphony through special benefit events and by selling merchandise at concerts in the Symphony shop. The League also meets monthly for a membership luncheon that includes a musical education and performance component.

Yellow Weddings Evoke Spring by Adding Yellow to Your Wedding By FRR Mallory Most brides are looking for a beautiful wedding on a budget. Early bridal planning involves selecting the color theme of the wedding. Smart brides know that all colors are not created equal. The more unusual the color, the more expensive it will be to decorate with that color. By the same token, when a color is more common, it is much cheaper and easier to find the materials you need to dress your wedding into a beautiful showstopper. One of the best colors for a bridal theme is yellow. There are a huge variety of decorative items available in yellow. By combining bright yellow with gray, black and white you will evoke the classic colors of French decor creating a timeless statement that is both young and fresh at the same time. At the same time, you will be using other basic colors that are also inexpensive and easy to find in a wide variety of items. Yellow is easy. A little bit of

yellow goes a long way. This allows you to extend your decorating dollar by using yellow both as a theme color and as an accent. Where you will discover the greatest savings with a yellow theme is with your floral decorations. Not only are there many flower types that have yellow blooms, there are a lot of inexpensive flowers that are readily available in yellow. This allows you to reduce the costs of your wedding flowers. Most weddings on average spend 10 to 15 percent of the entire wedding budget for flowers. By simply making yellow your theme color, you can reduce your budget without taking anything away from your wedding design.

Special Olympics Orange County Raises Nearly $285,000 Thanks to the enthusiastic support of 440 guests, nearly $285,000 in gifts were raised at Special Olympics on Parade, A Magical Evening at the Hilton Anaheim Hotel, where donations were given to support the year-round sports training and competition program for more than 1,300 men, women and children with intellectual disabilities that benefit from Special Olympics Orange County. “Through the power of sports, our athletes are on a path towards greater independence and self-sufficiency,” said David Armendariz, Regional Director for Special Olympics Orange County. “Research has shown that our athletes are five times more likely to have a job than their peers who are not in Special Olympics.” The event was chaired by Jennifer Watchinski with the help of co-chairs and friends Linda McMillian and Lisa Truman. The evening was a celebration of the athletes that participate in Special Olympics Orange County. Guests were greeted with champagne and passed hors d’oeuvres while perusing some of the fabulous items that were available at the silent auction. Four “SUPER Baskets” were also displayed and were raffled off each offering a value of over $1,000. Entering the ball room, it was apparent this was a celebration especially with the colors of red, white and blue adorning the tables and stage. Also in this celebration, two outstanding individuals were being honored; Tim Redmond for Person of the Year and Jim Ragsdale received the Betty Belden Palmer Award for Outstanding Athlete. Ragsdale is from Coto De Caza and according to his golf coach Rick McElwee, “Jim is a living example of everything that is good about sports. As much as he likes to win, Jim loves the camaraderie of being around his friends and teammates. At the young age of 17, Jim is already known as a team leader because of his positive attitude and ability to lift the spirits of his teammates. There is no athlete that embodies the spirit of Special Olympics more than Jim.” Redmond received the organization’s Person of the Year award. When it comes to volunteering for Special Olympics, Tim Redmond is their hometown superstar. Soon after his son Timothy Jr. became involved in Special Olympics, Tim decided to be more than just a spectator and enthusiastic parent. Ten years ago, Tim became a founding member of what is today known as the Orange County Regional Leadership Council. Additionally Tim also serves as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors for Special Olympics Southern California. Angels’ pitcher Jim Abbott was the Guest of Honorand keynote speaker who inspired the crowd with a powerful message about the human spirit. He also demonstrated on stage with one of the Special Olympic athletes how he switches his glove from catching the ball to throwing the ball, which by the way was so fast, you’d miss it if you blinked your eye. Abbott is one of the most inspirational players in sports, who was born without a right hand. Despite the adversity he faced, Jim achieved notable athletic success including leading Team USA to an Olympic Gold medal in 1988 and pitching a no-hitter for the New York Yankees. Jim is one of the most beloved players to ever wear an Angels Jersey. Live auction items are always a hit and this year, folks were excited as ever to open their wallets for some of the fabulous items that were available. Of note were the Deer Valley Dream Home vacation for 6 days, it went for $3600 while the Platinum suite at Angel Stadium for 18 guests drew $4300. Chef Dean Weitz donated his services for an exquisite five course premium gourmet dinner party for 10; he will come to your home and provide all the food required for a customized gourmet dinner. Three separate guests were battling it out, so Chef Weitz generously donated it three times – each paying $3500 a piece! Page 10

made dressings. Our choices were the Tomato Bisque and Marinated Beet and Avocado Salad. Both were excellent. Entrée Choices include a fine Filet Mignon Steak sandwich (my choice) accompanied by some of the best fries I’ve had in years… not a fry left behind! There are also roasted to order chickens, a Filet Mignon salad and Short Rib Pasta. I’m a dessert person so I was happy to see some yummy selections which included carrot cake, really good sorbet, a childhood memory: chocolate chip cookies and milk (you won’t find that on many menus) plus my choice, Crème Brulee garnished with strawberries.
Should you want to explore the regular menu, you’ll find a glorious selection of fresh, quality items from Prime meats to Artisanal cheeses, Prime Rib, smoked in house salmon, house made breads and not a microwave in the place. The prices are very reasonable with almost all entrees under $30 including lobster and many choices under $20. The most expensive entrée is $32.95 which gets you a full pound of prime aged beef. And if you still have room, you’ll want to try their home made from scratch desserts that are baked fresh to order. The atmosphere is comfy oversized
booths, quiet hushed lighting and racks of wine bottles. If you’re a wine lover, you’ll want to check out the wine menu. You can hear your table conversation easily with plenty of room between tables. Will I go back? Yes. Is it worth driving to Orange? Absolutely. Consider it to be a destination restaurant.

Top Vacation Roadtrip Spills and How to Clean Them You’ve returned home from the summer vacation. You start to unpack the car and realize it’s not just the people who look like they’ve been on the road forever. Between wear and tear and food and drink spills, the car seats look like they’ve been run over. It’s all got to be cleaned up, but where do you start? The local leather experts from Fibrenew, a leather, vinyl and plastics refurbishing specialist, warn car owners of the Top Vacation Roadtrip Spills and arm them with The Do’s and Don’ts of Road Trip Clean Up. “Once the summer vacation season kicks off, we receive a lot of calls from car owners wondering what can be done about the damage to their leather and vinyl seats,” says Michael Wilson, CEO of Fibrenew. Kids and adults unsuccessfully trying to juggle food, drinks and toys on the road can cause damage to car seats, but often times the worst problems are caused by car owners who don’t know the best ways to clean up a mess and repair a problem.” BEFORE THE ROADTRIP BEGINS Before you pack the car for the big trip, it’s a good idea to clean and protect the seats. Dirt, oil and dust that get on leather and vinyl seats acts like a fine sandpaper, slowly wearing down the vinyl and the
protective coating on the leather, making them more susceptible to damage. Once it’s weakened, leather and vinyl is more likely to crack and fade and it won’t hold up well to everyday wear and tear. Buy a good leather cleaning kit, which includes leather cleaning and protection cream, or a vinyl cleaning kit, which typically includes just a cleaner, and make a protective detour before the trip begins. It will save time and money later on. You should also pack an absorbent towel or two in addition to one or two rolls of paper towels. TOP VACATION ROADTRIP SPILLS (and how to clean them!)* 1) FOOD OR DRINK STAIN: The kids eat a pizza slice or burger and while part of it lands in the mouth the rest goes on themselves and the car seat. The drink follows. DON’T use window/mirror cleaner because it contains alcohol which will dissolve and destroy the surface coating on your leather. DO use a damp towel to wipe up the mess and a dry one to finish the job. Fully-finished leather is pretty much water resistant, so a little spill isn’t going to hurt as long as you clean it up quickly, before it soaks through. 2) INK : Some of the bright green marker gets to color the skin of the dragon
in the coloring book. Some of it misses and now the corner of the car seat looks like the dragon. DON’T use dish soap or hair spray to remove the marks. The degreasing agents in dish soap can permanently de-gloss and damage the top coating on the leather surface. Hair spray, another commonly recommended remedy, has alcohol in it and will ruin the surface coating on your leather. DO use a soft sponge and specialized leather cleaner. Buy it at most leather furniture retailers – but, for serious problems, your local Fibrenew franchise can help. 3) NAIL POLISH: You try out the new bright red polish hoping to look good on the beach but end up polishing some of the car seat. DON’T use nail polish remover because it will take all of the color out of your leather and leave a bleached spot bigger than the nail polish spot. DO, once again, use a soft sponge and leather cleaner. However you will most likely have to call a professional for help to get rid of this stain. 4) ANIMAL SCRATCHES AND PICKS: FIDO the dog gets all excited when you get to the rest area and scratches the car seat jumping out the door. DON’T touch up the spots with shoe
polish or markers because it makes an ugly, sticky mess. DO try to reduce the visibility of the problem by snipping off the cotton interior strands that often get pulled out when leather gets picked. DO use a hair dryer and massage minor scratches with leather cleaner to try to rub it out. Call a professional to fix larger scratches and holes - this is not a DIY kind of job. Once you get home, it’s a good idea to clean out the car, especially if you have been at the beach. The sand and salt from the beach can not only damage your leather and vinyl seats, over time it will be ground into the carpet and become almost impossible to remove. That means the salty sea smell will stick around as well. Use the leather cleaner mentioned above on the seats. In most cases, a good vacuuming will remove the sand and salt. If sea water found its way into the car and really soaked the carpet, it might be wise to get the carpets washed as well.
Drink Local Wine! By David White Thirty-five years ago, a British wine merchant named Steven Spurrier organized a wine competition in Paris, where he pitted California’s best Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons against the best wines that France had to offer. Everyone assumed that France would win. After all, the nation had been making wine for thousands of years and was widely regarded as the world’s top wine region. But with both the whites and the reds, California won. The only journalist who attended -- George Taber from TIME magazine -- swiftly shared the results with the world. Ever since, no one has doubted the ability of America’s West Coast to produce world-class wine. And today, one can find California Cabernet Sauvignon, Oregon Pinot Noir, and Washington State Merlot at restaurants across the world. Last month, George Taber traveled to Colorado to attend the fourth annual DrinkLocalWine conference, which spotlights wine made in the other 47 states and Canada. He was very impressed with the wines. I also attended the conference, and was equally impressed. DrinkLocalWine is the brainchild of Jeff Siegel, a Dallas-based wine writer who blogs at WineCurmudgeon.com, and Washington Post wine columnist Dave McIntyre, who blogs at DMWineLine. com. Page 14
Launched in 2008, it was originally a website where Siegel and McIntyre could highlight bloggers who wrote about regional wines. The rationale was easy to understand. The United States and Canada had witnessed a dramatic increase in wineries and quality was steadily improving. Yet local wines were “routinely shrugged off by major wine publications, retail stores, restaurants, and even consumers.” The two men wanted a portal where they could link to writers who respected regional wine. The movement quickly took off. Just months after the launch of DrinkLocalWine, the Texas Department of Agriculture offered to sponsor a conference in 2009. The event was an unqualified success, bringing about 80 wine fanatics and 20 journalists to Dallas. The following year, the DrinkLocalWine crew held a conference in Virginia, and in 2011, the group headed to Missouri. This year’s event attracted more than 200 wine enthusiasts and nearly 40 journalists from across the country. It’s safe to say that the local wine movement has officially arrived. As Jeff Siegel explained after this year’s conference, “Regional wine is . . . very close to becoming just another part of the U.S. wine business, and not the novelty it has mostly been for more than a decade.” We shouldn’t be surprised that crit-
The Newport News
ics and consumers are taking regional wine seriously. For one thing, good wine can be made virtually everywhere. Almost every week, I’m surprised by a wine from somewhere obscure -- whether it’s nation, like Slovenia, or a region, like the Jura in France. Colorado and Virginia certainly seem less bizarre than these locales! Plus, today’s wine drinkers are adventurous. Whereas the consumers of yesteryear turned to well-known critics for advice, today’s consumers are comfortable dismissing traditional gatekeepers and instead turning to local voices, like wine shop staffers and bloggers. Typically, these influencers are willing to drink with an open mind and an open palate -- and so are happy to recommend local wine as long as it’s tasty. Local wine does face some challenges. Too many North American vintners are growing the wrong grapes in the wrong soil, sticking to varieties like Merlot and Chardonnay simply because they’re popular. In Europe, thanks to thousands of years of trial and error, most vintners know where each grape excels. That’s why Riesling is grown in Germany and Tempranillo is grown in Spain. Fortunately, this is changing. On my recent trip to Colorado, I met with winemakers who were experimenting with all
sorts of different grapes. One of the best wines I tasted was a Gewurztraminer, which is typically associated with Alsace in France. Last year, DrinkLocalWine co-founder Dave McIntyre explained why regional wine matters. “It’s easy to think of local wineries as novelties instead of neighbors. But as we increasingly support local farmers and ranchers, why not vintners as well? Viticulture is agriculture. Locavore should be locapour.” He’s right. In 1976, California’s wines bested France’s at a wine tasting that became known as the Judgment of Paris. Thanks to DrinkLocalWine, all of North America will soon have a reputation for producing some of the world’s finest wines. Until then, support your local winemaker!

Trending Hairstyles for Weddings 2012 By Jennifer Ladd The hair style you choose on your wedding day is one of the most important details because it can change your look completely. So, whether your hair be long, short, or of a unique texture there’s a look for you! Some of the most important factors to consider is, first, are you going to feel confident with that style. Is the style, you chose, going to hold up through the ceremony and reception? Are you going to be comfortable in that hairstyle? These are things to keep in mind, as you should enjoy your wedding day, not add extra stress. It seems that this season’s bridal hair trends are textured. From braids to curls you can achieve these wedding day looks! Here are my top five hairstyle trends for this season...... B r a i d e d H a l o The braided halo is an impressive yet easy hairstyle that you can do yourself. It can be made a little messy with wispy fly-aways for a more casual affair, or it can be styled very sophisticated and elegant for a wedding or night out. A halo braid has always been very popular on flower girls, but is becoming increasingly trendy for
the bride herself. It works best with long hair that is not extremely layered. The Relaxed Ponytail A beautiful, soft ponytail with a little volume on top and sweet curls at the end. Wear low and with an air of sophistication. The Princess Grace This soft, romantic style is elegant, yet really easy to achieve. Use big rollers to get loads of volume through the crown and curls through the ends, then roughly pin to one side and tease the front to add a little volume. The Ballerina Bride It takes good bone structure to pull off a classic bun like this but it is oh-soworth-it for the sheer classic beauty of it, so wear yours at dizzying heights to really flaunt that face shape and flawless wedding day make-up. Messy is the New Sexy A tousled up-do is one of my favorite hairstyles, especially if you have thick and unruly hair because you will get that natural volume while keeping that big mane under control. Just a few bobby pins and a hair tie will help you achieve this look. To add volume and interest you can use rollers or a large barrel curling iron before pinning it up.
LCAD Launches High School Animation Exchange Program Laguna College of Art + Design’s (LCAD) Animation program recently instituted a program reaching out to Warren High School in Downey, California, enabling talented students from both institutions to collaborate on real-world experiences in the animation industry. Following a recruitment presentation in February to eager Warren High students by LCAD Animation Program Chair David Kuhn and Professor David Pruiksma, approximately 50 of those students visited the LCAD campus to view the Chris Sander’s Original Art show, exhibiting exclusively in the LCAD gallery. The high-schoolers were thrilled with the show, impressed with the campus, and as a result of connection and discussion between David Kuhn, the chairperson of LCAD Animation and the student’s instructor Bill Austin, the college is now hosting 10 select students who have apprenticed by assisting college seniors to create films for their year-end projects and portfolios. Over the course of three weekly sessions, the high school students watch the films in progress, and then are given tasks to assist with which include animating, rough in-betweening or clean-up and coloring. The program provides an opportunity for younger students interested in animation to earn practical experience working on high-quality, fully animated films. The teaching experience reciprocally allows the opportunity for LCAD seniors to hone their communication skills and develop teaching techniques. “The first meeting with the High School students was so successful that our seniors told us the help-
ers all exceeded expectations, and they can’t wait for further interaction,” remarked LCAD Professor David Pruiksma. “It’s great to see something like this take off, and we hope to continue this program next year with other high schools as well.” The culmination of the program will result in the Laguna Animation Film Festival (LAFF) to be held at South Coast Cinema in Laguna Beach on May 12, where the student films will debut for the public and industry professionals. Here, the high school
students will be able to see the films they worked on and their names up in the credits up on the big screen. LCADs Animation program is world-class in caliber and promotes the development of individual artistic skills while enhancing the creative imagination. Graduates have gone on to work for animation giants that include Disney, Pixar, Nickelodeon and Fox Television.

PHYSICIAN REFERRAL COMPANY SUPPORTS PEOPLE IN TRANSITION
Gary Calvaneso, Mary Baker, Sandra McElwee, Miriam Kang, Linda Matulis
When your primary care physician tells you that you need to see a specialist, most patients assume their doctor will refer them to a quality physician. After all, anyone who is going to treat you should be board-certified, well versed in the latest techniques and have an impressive record of successes with other patients; right? Well it may come as a surprise that the referral system doesn’t actually work that way. Most people assume their primary care doctor has a rolodex of top notch specialists to pass along as needed. In today’s fast paced world, primary care physicians simply don’t have the time to go out, research and meet with other specialists. With specialists operating margins falling over the past decade and health care reforms putting pressure on their bottom line, quality specialists have a need to do a better job educating referring doctors and patients about their expertise. That’s where 2 local residents, Gary Calvaneso and Sandra McElwee who met through Saddleback Church, decided there was an opportunity to work with quality specialists and educate referring primary care physicians about their skills. In early 2011, they formed a referral marketing company called The Referral Specialists (www.TheReferralSpecialists.com).
Page 16
The Newport News
The Referral Specialists provide practice representatives and referral marketing services to specialty physicians. Practice representatives are experienced healthcare professionals who call on primary care physicians and complementary specialists to educate them about their specialist client’s expertise. Since starting their business, their specialty physician clients have experienced positive gains as a direct result of their services. Typically these specialists triple or quadruple the number of referring physicians who refer to them and increase their bottom line. In fact, the Referral Specialists business caught the attention of the Wall Street Journal’s Smart Money magazine where they were mentioned by name. “Our business connects quality specialists with PCP’s (Primary Care Physicians) through referral marketing, said Gary Calvaneso, Managing Partner. Educating the medical community not only benefits everyone in the medical market but also produces jobs which is something that our community really needs”. Aside from achieving positive results for their clients, what makes The Referral Specialists unique is their dedication to helping those that are unemployed and need help. For Calvaneso, it is something he takes to heart.
Nearly every Monday for the past 6 years, Calvaneso has been a volunteer at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, listening to and coaching unemployed people with a smile and an offer of hope. “For our practice reps, we only consider candidates that are unemployed” said Calvaneso. “We are not interested in recruiting people that already have a job and an income. We prefer to support those that do not. It is our way of giving back to the community by helping those in need which is a principle of our faith.” “You would be surprised at the high level of unemployed talent there is out there” said Sandra McElwee, Managing Partner. “One of our practice reps is a senior woman with over 25 years of pharmaceutical sales experience calling on physicians’ offices. She was out of work for over 2 years before joining up with us and has done a great job for our clients”. Not only do the Referral Specialists focus on working with unemployed candidates, but they also do the same for suppliers. “We wanted to apply our faith based principles of helping those in need to all aspects of our business, said Calvaneso”. “Even the caterer we use is trying to generate income through a home based business. What employers need to understand is that being unemployed has nothing to do with talent or quality. We carefully screen our suppliers, looking for skill and quality first. The doctors all rave about her food and she now gets additional business from them”. “We have a stay-at-home mom who makes some of the best toffee you’ll ever taste, right out of her home kitchen. Here again, our clients rave about her toffee and have provided her additional business” said Calvaneso. For his volunteerism in supporting people in transition in 2011, Calvaneso received the Orange County Spirit of Volunteerism Award as part of the leadership team managing Saddlebacks Career Coaching and Counseling program. If you are a physician with a specialty medical practice and are interested in a free consultation to learn more about how The Referral Specialists can help increase referrals from other physicians, visit their website at www. TheReferralSpecialists.com , call them 949-433-1702 or e-mail them at info@get-referred.com.

Spring & Summer Weddings: What’s Trending This Year By Abby McMillin With all the details that go in to planning a wedding, it’s no surprise that the trends surrounding the ceremonies, dresses, flowers, and centerpieces are getting revamped every year. With more and more couples tying the knot and getting creative this year, there’s no shortage of great trends to keep our eyes on. One Venue for Both the Ceremony & Reception Your guests (and wallet) will be happy about this one! More couples this year are opting to stay in one location for the vows and post-party fun. No need to get back in the car and navigate to where the reception is being held. Also, the bridal party will love not having to be shuffled around, making things like photo shoots much more convenient. With venues like hotels, clubs, and banquet halls, there’s no shortage of indoor or outdoor options. These places often have beautifully manicured grounds, so a ceremony outside can also be possible if the weather cooperates. Detailed Backless Dresses One aspect of the wedding dress that should never be overlooked is the back. While the bride is standing at the altar all eyes are on this portion of her dress-think of all the photos taken during this portion of the ceremony! It might just be the inspiration behind so many brides forgoing the strapless look and focusing on the backless one. With beautiful lace detailing, hand beading, and sheer fabrics, this look is easily achieved and breathes new life into the bridal silhouette.

Contrasting Colors Get ready to see warm autumn hues paired with airy sea shades this year as nontraditional colors take center stage. Wedding themes are drawing upon vintage inspiration and odd color combinations, so expect to see colors like tangerine and sea foam green; peach and celery; or even marigold and plum. My brother and his fiancé are actually considering poppy-red and mint-green! The whole color palette reads like an Instagram album and gives the wedding party a retro feel.
the aisle holding signs reading, “ Here comes the bride! “ Another innovative idea is to have The Rustic Themed Wedding the little pair stand in the foreground holdWhile classic black-tie weddings will never go out of ing a large photo frame with the happy couple style, one trend that’s giving it a run for its money is kissing in the background-simply adorable! the rustic wedding. With many more couples going the DIY route than ever before, it’s not hard to see Say Cheese! why the rustic wedding is so appealing. Complete Last year was all about the photo booths and with wildflowers, outdoor themes, barn reception this trend is holding on strong this year too. In adhalls, and pastoral centerpieces, this trend blends dition, pre-ceremony photo s have been popping heartfelt romance with natural elegance. And the up all over various wedding sites. But here’s the best part is you can really showcase who you are catch: most couples want to stay traditional and as a couple and save a lot of money on things avoid seeing each other before the ceremony, you don’t really care about or need. Get the whole so the trick will be to stay out of sight. I’ve seen bridal party involved in making handmade décor! photos where the couple is blindfolded together, hiding around the corner from one another, or Flower Girls & Ring Bearers laughing on opposite sides of a door.
