Forever and the Day 2019 Wedding Resource Guide: The Rings, to Be or Not to Be Insured, and Trends That Inspire
F
alling in love, check. Proposal, check. Deciding to marry in Santa Barbara, check. Now what? In some ways, the work is just beginning — there are invitations to mail; a venue to book; flowers, food, music, and a theme to choose; and a honeymoon to plan. Because there are so many details to figure out, we’ve compiled a list to help make planning your big day — and the days leading up to it — easier. Also included in our wedding insert are informational (and interesting) stories, such as wedding ring design made easy, thanks to area jewelry designer Calla Gold’s book Design Your Dream Wedding Rings: From Engagement to Eternity; Maggie Yates answering, What is wedding insurance, and is it a practical investment?; and what trends are in for 2019 weddings, such as colors, dress styles, and who and how people are walking down the aisle. Whether you live in Santa Barbara or have chosen it as your destination wedding spot, you have an opportunity to plan unique brunches, wine tastings, beach BBQs, trolley tours, and more. Let this list of area vendors featured in the complete Wedding Resource Guide give you new ideas along with S.B. favorites in creating the perfect celebration. —Terry Ortega

Wedding Trends for 2019 from year to year in line with current fashion, certain high-visibility events set the pace for a season or more of marriage celebrations. Like white bridal gowns coming into fashion after Queen Victoria married in one in 1840, wedding trends for 2019 will be influenced by last spring’s royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Dresses with clean lines and classic silhouettes matched with natural, glow-y makeup grace the aisles for an air of sophisticated glamour, and textured greenery and taupe grasses provide a lush, neutral base for floral arrangements. These sprays of blossoms and fronds are featuring vibrant hints of color and natural elements in unpredictable shapes, such as fruit, stones, and delicate tree branches. Fashioned into garlands, bouquets, and centerpieces, these natural touches bedeck the aisles and banquet tables, drape from the walls and eaves, and are even found as accents in the bride’s hair or jewelry. The 2019 Pantone color of the year is a deep, rouged peach called “living coral.” It’s being paired with rich, bruised tones like merlot, charcoal, ochre, and sapphire. The most liberating trend on the rise is the gleeful disregard of traditional gender roles. More and more brides are choosing their best male friends to be dapper bridesmen, and grooms are asking their lady friends to be smartly clad groomsFerns and roses add natural elements.

maids. Many couples are choosing to walk down the aisle together, rather than inserting the notion of the bride (or groom) being “given away” by a parental figure. The tradition of incorporating the father of the bride can be lovely, but it doesn’t account for people without parents, and can be confusing for people with blended or same-

sex families. Even Meghan Markle, whose father was too ill to escort her, walked halfway down the aisle by herself. Walking the aisle together is also a tidy solution for couples who are turned off by the implications of a bride being transferred from the “ownership” of her father to the care of her husband. Eco-conscious, ethical choices are still popular, with many couples using local vendors and artisans to source their weddings. This includes artists and calligraphers to pen illustrations and lettering for stationery, bakers to create a one-of-a-kind statement-piece cake, and mixologists to

With This Policy,
I Thee Insure
W
ith all the time and expense that goes into the average American
wedding (several months and around $30,000), wedding insurance may be a smart way to protect your investment. Policies cover damages that can happen that day, like if someone slips and falls on the dance floor or backs their car into the rustic barn where you said, “I do.” They can also keep you from losing your payments and deposits if unforeseen incidents force you to cancel or postpone. Imagine, for instance, that your Santa Barbara nuptials were planned for January 13th, 2018 — a few days after the Montecito debris flow turned Highway 101 into an impassible mud plain. You can’t make it to your venue, or worse, the venue has been destroyed. There are two types of wedding insurance: wedding liability insurance and cancellation/postponement insurance. Depending on the details of the event, consider budgeting for both types of coverage. Wedding liability insurance protects you against being financially responsible for problems that occur at your event, such as lost, damaged, or stolen gifts, equipment rentals, and property. Jewelry and the wedding gown can also be insured. Liability insurance pays medical costs for anyone injured during the wedding, and it covers the costs of vendors who don’t show up or who cancel (this also applies to photographers who lose or damage the film/files before you receive them). Often, these policies include “host liquor liability insurance,” which covers alcohol-related incidents. Cancellation or postponement coverage reimburses you for costs if you have to cancel or change the date of your wedding due to extenuating, uncontrollable factors. This includes extreme weather, natural disaster, injury or illness in the wedding party or the couple’s immediate family, or the venue being unavailable due to accidental destruction or going out of business. Ask your insurance agent about the specifics of the policy — for instance, what kind of “extreme weather” event will they cover? Will they cover postponement if you or your partner is deployed by the military? Will they cover your honeymoon? Be sure to tell your agent about any potentially dangerous attractions at your wedding, such as fireworks or poi spinning — these unconventional items may not be covered in their policy. Be warned: Wedding insurance doesn’t cover the costs if the wedding is cancelled due to a runaway bride or groom! Because every policy is different, it’s a good idea to talk to a professional. Be clear when talking to your agent about what you want (or need) to insure. If you’re wearing your great-great-grandmother’s sapphire tiara, make sure your policy covers that item specifically. If you know your wedding will be a wild “rager,” make sure you have a beefed-up policy to protect you from having to pay for Gary-fromwork’s broken clavicle after unicycle jousting goes afoul. Many venues require proof of liability coverage by a certain date. The best time to consider wedding insurance is when you start paying deposits. While insurance is an important consideration for people investing a hefty sum in their wedding celebration, be diligent in your policy review so you don’t over-insure (or double-insure) yourself. Ask the venue what they cover as part of the rental agreement, and check to see what’s already taken care of by your other insurance policies — you may have certain items covered by your homeowner’s policy. The pricing for wedding insurance is reasonable, running on average between $200$500 for $1 million–$2 million in coverage. The price will be dependent on the number of guests expected at your event and the limit on your policy. Weddings can be stressful, expensive milestones. Budgeting for wedding insurance can ensure, even if everything goes according to plan on the big day, peace of mind. ❤

Calla Gold and her client share a laugh during the creation process.
B
esides the marriage license, wedding rings are the only physical symbol of this legal coupling, and these tiny treasures will be on display every day, until death do you part. No pressure. For this reason, these meaningful pieces of jewelry should bring you joy and happiness every time you look at them through the years to come. Everyone has their own aesthetic, which is why creating your own ring has become ever more popular. For more than 30 years, Santa Barbara jewelry designer Calla Gold has helped couples incorporate the quirky, romantic, and historic details of their relationship into custom designs and recently wrote the book Design Your Dream Wedding Rings: From Engagement to Eternity to give people the language they need and walk them through the steps it takes to make their wedding ring visions come to fruition. Design Your Dream Wedding Rings offers anyone engaged—or soon to be—the confidence and knowledge to design a ring that is as perfect, durable, and beautiful as their love. The book is laid out in the order of how to begin creating your own ring, from the language needed to articulate your design concept to redesigning an heirloom to maintenance after the big day. “The Sixteen Steps to Custom Jewelry Design” will take you from trying on rings, jeweler sketches, bids, and wax models to ring approval. For example, to know that a “roundy-square diamond” is really a cushion cut or those “stickyuppy things” are prongs might leave you with “an altered version of your idea.” The invaluable information is accompanied with images about diamond and gemstone basics, ring
Two brides choose slightly different designs.
shapes, and wedding bands (contoured, stacking, and eternity). Besides the piece of jewelry itself, there are other ideas to take into consideration, Gold explains, such as your lifestyle and how it lends itself to the type of setting— e.g., prong, head, bezel, channel, inlay, flush, pavé—that is best for you. “Women with an active lifestyle often choose a bezel setting because it’s smooth to the touch and won’t catch on clothing,” writes Gold. The shape of the ring “plays an important role in how it compliments your hand” (i.e., what works best with short fingers, full hands, etc.).
A wax model and CAD (computer-aided design) of a ring. Then there is the question of which metal to choose. Did you know that the higher the karat, the softer the ring, meaning it will be more prone to denting? And, just because platinum is harder than gold doesn’t mean it’s best for your design; white gold may be a better option. Gold does not recommend titanium or tungsten rings as they “are almost impossible to size or solder.” Once you decide on a metal, there are several decorative extras
to consider, such as engraving, textures, and finishes— hammer, matte, satin, stipple, twig (it looks like an actual twig), oxidation, and high polish are just a few of the options. There is also plating (short for electroplating), which, according to Gold, “is done for effect, to alter the vibe … or for maintenance,” such as rhodium to give “white gold a more defined and bright white” appearance or black rhodium for a more edgy or antique look. Readers will learn the difference between a CAD (computer-aided design) and wax model, both of which are used to mock up your ring before your sign off on it. Gold shares insight like not to despair if the prongs appear twice as big in the wax model because the “prongs are regularly exaggerated in the wax to ensure proper casting, and filed down afterwards.” For those surprise engagements, there are tips on how to secretly retrieve your soon-to-be fiancée's finger size without them knowing, and throughout the book are Gold’s comments with actual stories from some of her clients, Jeweler Calla Gold such as Elaine, the rebel rule-breaker Pens How-To Book whose design Gold on Wedding Ring originally advised against but ended up Design giving her blessing after the bride was by T E R R Y O R T E G A made aware of the extra care that might be needed. The book ends with a separate quiz for men and women that will leave “no stone” unturned as to what type of wedding ring your heart desires.
