THE Brain Dump this video!

Before you even start pulling imagery to build your board, it’s important to go in with a clear vision of who you are as a couple, what your ultimate aesthetic is and what your event expectations are. Jot all of your thoughts down in one place to reference before you even start pinning imagery.

IDEAS ON WHAT TO PIN?

ONEPHASE 9BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

This is the fun part! Open up Pinterest and create your wedding board (a secret board if you want - just hide it from public view). Now browse the web, Pinterest or start collecting all your favorite imagery. We suggest starting with one main Wedding Pinterest board as a photo dump before breaking down to boards by detail.

Narrow down your wedding board images to your top 10-20 images. You can add these to a new FINAL board on Pinterest to separate the final selection of imagery from the pinning you did previously. Pull your very favorite details and aestheticsthose things that make you REALLY excited to have a wedding. This is what you’ll look at to refine your overall vision.

Save every wedding image you like...seriously, the more the better! Florals, decor, stationery, fashion, etc.

Refine your selection with these questions: What style stands out in your saved images? What details are your fave/must haves? What colors stand out and do they match what you thought you liked? What fashion elements are most prominent?

It’s time! Let’s build that mood board! Go ahead and save your top 6-10 images to your computer desktop or phone’s photo stream, so you’ll have easy access to them when building your actual mood board.

Pick your FAVORITE mood board template design from the three Wed Society Canva templates we’ve created below. You’ll need to create a Canva account to get started if you don’t have one already. It’s FREE!

Drop those photos in! Having trouble arranging them in an appealing way? Our tip is to space more busy images out by placing less busy images between. Include your wedding inspiration images here WITH your mood inspiring textures and quotes.

To finalize your color palette, spot the colors that jump out to you most from your imagery on the board. You’re looking for about 2-3 main colors (usually stronger, more vibrant colors) and two accent hues (typically softer, more subdued).

Contemporary Austin Wedding Venues

Once you have your sights set on a venue, meet the staff and tour the place in person. By going to tour the venue in person, you are able to make multiple observations about the setting that can help you make your decision. This allows you to experience the energy and atmosphere of the venue, something that cannot be observed through merely a gallery of pictures. Most importantly, you need to be comfortable with not only the appeal and representation of the site, but also the staff. Pay attention to their friendliness. You don’t want a team that is pressuring you into booking their venue. Instead, you want people that simply want to assist you on creating your dream wedding. These are the people that are going to be with you on your special day. You need to like them and their communication process.

Before selecting a venue, you need to lock in on a number of guests that you are expecting to host. This piece of information can give you an idea of how large of a site you will need. You want to avoid any venue that is not big enough for your guest count, as well as any that are too large. This approximation of guests will help you narrow down the venues that will comfortably fit your family and friends, without a tight squeeze or empty feel.

Do you picture walking down the aisle in the golden autumn or the radiant summer? The time of year has multiple effects on your wedding’s theme. This can range from color scheme, type of flowers, wedding dress style and an indoor or outdoor ceremony. With all of these factors, picking when you want your special day helps a couple find a venue with availability during the proper time of year.

Part of your due diligence is to think about your guests’ convenience. Walking in their shoes while making your final decisions will give you a new perspective on the venue. Pay attention to the number of bathrooms provided, if it is handicap accessible and if the directions to the venue are easy to follow. This perspective is something that all of your guests will encounter on the day of the event, so it is always great to consider.

Five Reasons Hiring a Wedding Planner Is the Best Decision You’ll Make

(Besides Saying I Do!)

Wedding Planner // Lauren Field Designs

The level of overwhelmed you might feel when you’re newly engaged is truly next level. Planning a wedding requires many moving parts. From nailing down your colors and your style, to all the details you want to make your day so special, it can be hard to pinpoint exactly what you want, much less explain what you’re envisioning to the appropriate vendors to make it a reality. Your wedding planner has all the wisdom and expertise to help you articulate your vision and bring it to life! Having someone who knows the ins and outs of weddings can really help you decide what you want your day to look like and help you achieve it. Not only can they help you develop your vision, but they know exactly how to make those wedding dreams come true. They’ve also worked with tons of vetted vendors and know who to turn to for any design detail.

Keeping up with events, vendor meetings and deadlines for your wedding can be a full-time job (wait, don’t you already have one of those?) and can be difficult to manage with all the other things going on in your life. Having a planner to check in and remind you of important dates and upcoming events can ease the stress of an already chaotic season and make engagement and the wedding planning process more manageable and enjoyable! Keeping up with all the details of the wedding budget can be a daunting task, as well. Hiring a wedding planner ensures you have another set of eyes on vendor costs, tips and all other expenses to make sure you’re staying within budget while maximizing your spending.

Reap the Benefits of Vendor Relationships

Creating a timeline for your wedding day is like choreographing a dance – it can quickly become complicated! You’ll need to consider multiple vendors and contingencies, while coordinating things in a way that makes sense for everyone involved. A wedding planner can help you navigate your day in a way that best fits you and your partner, as well as your vendors! Letting your planner handle the schedule and the inevitable issues that arise along the way means you, your family and friends can simply show up, soak in the day and enjoy it. By designating your wedding planner as the key person to handle any issues on the big day, you can focus on the big picture. Let a professional handle the details and relish your wedding day, stress-free!

Did you know the average couple hires more than a dozen vendors for their wedding? From your florist and officiant to caterer and cake, you could spend endless hours researching, vetting and communicating with vendors. Or, you could let your wedding planner make recommendations for vendors they trust, review proposals, read over legal contracts, manage communications and more. A professional wedding planner can offer insights and recommendations for vendors who can execute your style and vision perfectly. Your planner will also know what to look for when reading over complicated vendor contracts and can give you peace of mind that you aren’t missing any major details when signing with vendors. Vendor relationships are crucial –hiring a wedding planner means you’ll reap the benefits of their connections and helps ensure your team of vendors can all work together seamlessly.

Without a wedding planner, you can realistically expect to spend more than 500 hours planning your wedding. When you consider the time you’d need to spend making endless decisions, looking at spreadsheets, emailing vendors, dealing with the nitty gritty – what is that time worth to you? What else could you spend that time doing? Soaking up this season with the love of your life? Sounds good to us!

-Here’s a Cheat Sheet-

27BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM TWOPHASE

Shopping for The Dress

FASHION

When it comes time to start the search for the perfect wedding dress, all the styles and fits to choose from can be overwhelming. You may think you gravitate toward a certain style, but when you actually try it on – not so much. Or maybe there’s a style you’re considering, but aren’t sure if it will flatter your body type. No fear! We are here to help with our ultimate wedding dress cheat sheet, breaking down each style and fit!

SHEATH: Sleek and sultry, the sheath style is a gorgeous choice for the modern bride who wants something understated and form-fitting. This contouring style follows the natural lines of the body with no extra material or flare – typically straight cut with no seam at the waist.

TWOPHASE 28 BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

MERMAID: A fun, beautiful silhouette, mermaid dresses are fitted from the bodice all the way to the knee, where they flare out to resemble a mermaid’s tail. A flare starting just above the knee is called a trumpet fit, while a flare starting just below the knee is a true mermaid fit.

BALL GOWN: The ultimate style for the bride who wants to feel like a true queen. Ball gowns feature a fitted bodice (the uppermost part of the dress covering the chest and back above the waist) and a very full skirt, flaring out dramatically from the natural waist.

A-LINE: Universally flattering and oh-so-versatile, the a-line silhouette is a solid choice for any bride. This style is flowy with skirt that gradually flares out from just above the hips.

Wedding Dress Style Definitions

TWOPHASE 29BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

Wedding Dress Neckline Styles WEDDING DRESS STYLES

BOATNECK: A timeless, delicate style best-suited for smaller-chested brides, a boatneck style pairs wonderfully with a chic updo to show off the shoulders.

V-NECK: A wonderful option for the bride who wants to dance the night away and not worry about her bodice holding up, this style also accentuates any chest beautifully.

ILLUSION: Another beautiful option to accentuate your décolletage, the illusion neckline features a sweetheart hem with added mesh tulle acting in place of straps. Perfect for any chest size and practical, too.

SWEETHEART: Often seen on strapless gowns, this style is ultra-feminine and versatile across a wide range of bodice materials. A sweetheart neckline draws attention to the chest and is suited well for medium- or larger-chested ladies.

EXPLORE

OFF-THE-SHOULDER: This is a dramatically stunning style for the bride who wants to flaunt her décolletage in a lovely way. Off-the-shoulder looks can be seen on dresses from boho to ball gown. If range of movement is a priority, however, this might not be the style for you.

STRAIGHT: A great option for both the modern and the classically chic bride. This style also works best for small- to medium-chested ladies.

We hope this wedding dress cheat sheet can help you as you’re looking for your dress for the big day. Remember, ultimately the choice is up to YOU and what you feel best in is all that matters. No matter what, you’re sure to look amazing!

Wedding Dress Train Lengths

WATTEAU TRAIN: A true Watteau train attaches at the shoulders like a cape, but this style can also attach at the back or the waist as a detachable piece or as part of the skirt

CHAPEL TRAIN: A popular option, best for brides who do want a train but don’t want a ton of extra fabric weighing them down.

ROYAL TRAIN: The ultimate train for the most formal of affairs – fit for royalty!

CATHEDRAL TRAIN: A jaw-dropping look for a formal affair, a cathedral train will trail several feet behind you for a dramatic look.

SWEEP OR BRUSH TRAIN: Just enough fabric to barely skim the floor behind you.

underestimate the wow-factor a train can add to your dress! Remember, if you’re worried about it interfering with movement after the ceremony, most trains can be bustled (if not removed completely) and blend seamlessly with your dress.

Once you’re engaged, one of the first tasks you’ll want to check off the list is choosing a wedding photographer! As the person responsible for documenting all the memories of your #bestdayever and delivering images you can look back on for years and years, it’s an important decision, no doubt. Not sure where to begin or exactly what to know when choosing a wedding photographer? We’ve got five helpful tips to guide you through the process.

TWOPHASE 33BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

How to Choose Your Wedding Photographer

KNOW WHAT YOU’RE WILLING TO SPEND.

Are you drawn to fine art photography? These photos tend to have more muted colors, less contrast, more brightness and cool tones. You’ll tend to see more posed, “still life,” artful shots. Often, fine art photographers use film to help achieve this distinct look. Because film has been around for generations, these photos will definitely stand the test of time, but film is also more expensive to shoot and requires a different skill set than digital photography, so you can expect to pay more for someone who incorporates film into their work.

Quality wedding photography is not something to skimp on. Often, photography (and videography) can end up being one of the largest single expenses of your entire wedding. You can expect an experienced professional wedding photographer to charge anywhere from $2,500 all the way to $10,000 and beyond. Packages vary, but remember their prices factor in not only their creative talent, but their equipment costs, travel time and many, many hours of preparation and editing in addition to the time they’ll spend actually photographing your day.

Not sure how to nail down your ideal style? We recommend gathering several of your favorite wedding photos you’ve seen and assessing what they all have in common. Is it the lighting and colors? the emotion and movement? Which type of photos do you feel would better reflect your personality?

DECIDE WHICH STYLE YOU FEEL MOST DRAWN TO.

On the contrary, many couples are drawn to a more adventurous and photojournalistic style – with less emphasis on curating the ‘perfect’ shots, rather documenting the day exactly as it unfolds. These photos tend to have more contrast, warmth and saturated colors. This style can reflect more raw emotion via candid shots and shots that capture movement.

Of course, not every photographer’s work will fall exactly into one of these categories. You’ll see photos with a combination of these and other elements. Photography is subjective, so it comes down to identifying photos that elicit a heartfelt reaction from you.

01 02

TWOPHASE 34 BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

Photography, like any art form, can vary immensely from artist to artist. It’s up to you and your fiancé to decide which artistic style you like best, and let that heavily influence your decision.

TWOPHASE 35BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM PhotoNguyenNikk//PhotoTwine&Feather//PhotoPhotographyJohnsonBrianne//Photo PhotographyVoieLaKristin//PhotoPhotographyBacaAurelia//PhotoPhotographyFigurelliEmily//Photo LIGHT & AIRY CLASSIC & DOCUMENTARYTIMELESS MOODYFILM

FINE ART

Once you’re ready to sign the dotted line, read your contract very carefully and clarify any questions you have. What happens in the event of a reschedule (COVID-19, anyone?)? What happens in the off chance the photographer comes down with something and can’t make it? If your wedding requires the photographer to travel, which costs are you responsible for? Will you get a print release, or are you required to purchase digitals and/or prints through the photographer? Protect yourself and your money as you finalize this decision.

Narrow down your list to 3-6 photographers. You’ll always want to have a backup, even if you have a favorite, in case that person is unavailable for your date. Peruse their websites and Instagrams to get a feel for their individual personalities. You’ll be spending essentially all day with this person on your wedding day – you want to make sure they’re someone you can be friends with!

03

When it comes to narrowing down your short list of photographers, you’ll want to rely on word of mouth (who have your friends used and loved? what are reviews saying?), Instagram (remember to use location-based hashtags to your advantage) and local photographer listings on resources like Brides of Austin .

Now’s the time to send inquiries and fill out those contact forms. Figure out what’s included in their packages. How many hours? Is an engagement session included? A bridal session? A second shooter? All things to consider and ask. It’s fine to ask to see a full gallery so you can get an idea of what the less frequently shared images look like – like their style of family shots, cocktail hour shots and reception shots. It’s also OK to request an in-person or virtual meeting.

TWOPHASE 36 BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

DO YOUR RESEARCH.

BE CLEAR WITH YOUR GOALS.

Once you’ve made a decision and hired a photographer, reach back out to any other photographers you’d inquired with and let them know you’ve gone with someone else. Don’t worry – there won’t be any hard feelings. They’ll appreciate the courtesy and will be able to open up your date for other interested couples.

Do you want these photos to be published in a magazine or online publication? Do you NOT want them to be published or shared? It’s important for your photographer to know these things ahead of time. It’s also a good idea to let them know which types of shots are most important to you – not specific poses or copies of photos you’ve found on Pinterest, but do you care more about the details, the candids, the family shots, or the portraits of just you two?

Don’t forget:

CHOOSING A WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER CAN BE A DAUNTING TASK, BUT TRUST US, IT’S ONE OF THE MOST REWARDING. HAVING BEAUTIFUL IMAGES TO CHERISH IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST PARTS OF THIS SEASON.

Remember, you hired this person for a reason! Be open to their expert advice and let them work with your planner to create the day-of timeline. After all, they’re the lighting experts, and great photos depend a lot on great light. Time of day factors into this, as well as artificial lighting and the structure/directional orientation of your venue. Your photographer will be able to use all of these factors to help devise a timeline that allows for the best photos to be captured as you celebrate your commitment.

TWOPHASE 37BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

Bring your photographer up to speed on any potentially awkward family dynamics, and tell them if there’s anyone in particular you’d like them to pay attention to. Do you have a grandparent you’re especially close with? Any family traveling from afar? Let them know so you can be sure and get photos with these people while you have the opportunity.

When to Book your CommunicatingFloristyour Vision to your Florist Who to Book for yourWedding Florals

This all depends on your vision. Take a look at several local florists’ work and decide which styles you’re drawn to most. Do you like tall, formal arrangements? Loose, organic and freeform bouquets featuring unique blooms? Monochromatic? Colorful? Whimsical? Nailing down your personal style and knowing which florists specialize in that style can help you know who to reach out to. From there, inquire on their website and be prepared to tell them your floral budget. As a rule of thumb, devoting 10% of your overall wedding budget to florals is common, but if you want to go all out with florals, go for it! Or if minimal blooms are more your thing, that’s ok, too – it’s just important to be up front with your florist about your desires.

TWOPHASE

How do you communicate your vision to your florist? Your mood board, from Phase 1 can help! Your mood board photos can help communicate your vision well when you don’t necessarily have the words to describe precisely what you’re wanting.

That said, if you don’t have a specific vision for your wedding florals, it’s important to have an open mind and let your florist take the creative reigns! That’s why you’re hiring this person: for their talent, expertise and creativity! Give them a starting point plus the freedom to create something uniquely beautiful, and you’ll be amazed.

In the past, it was more common for florists to work on more than one wedding per day, but today, with florals being a huge part of a wedding’s design and blooms being so integral and time-intensive, many florists only book one wedding per day. This means you don’t want to wait! You’ll need to have a date set and ideally a venue (having your planner booked is also helpful) at least 9-10 months out from your wedding date. Your florist will likely need to order your flowers wholesale and needs ample time to place those orders. If you’re planning on getting married during “busy season” (June-October), you’ll want to book your florist even further in advance (12-15 months). Don’t wait!

Remember, certain flowers are only in season during certain times of year, so if you had a certain bloom in mind, it may not work for your wedding date. Let your florist make suggestions for alternatives and trust their expertise!

FileIdea 40 BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM EXPLORE FLORAL IDEAS

VIEW MORE IMAGES FROM OUR FLORAL IDEA FILE >>>

At the very minimum, you’ll want to invest in bouquets for you and your bridesmaids, boutonnieres, corsages and perhaps an accent piece for the altar. Beyond that, you’ll be looking at table centerpieces, a large floral install for your altar area, accent pieces for various parts of the venue, blooms for the cake and cake table, floral walls, hanging florals and more! The options are truly endless when it comes to the ways florals can make a visual impact.

If florals are top-priority for your wedding, be prepared to spend upwards of 10% of your overall budget on blooms. Remember that larger installs also require more labor – often a team, not just one person – and will affect the price you pay. If you’re looking to save money when it comes to florals, you’ll need to scale down on size and intricacy. You can also save by using blooms that are in-season and more commonly grown/easy to order.

It’s common these days for wedding planners to also double as florists and vice versa. Floral design and overall wedding design go hand-in-hand, and many of these vendors have incredible expertise in not only designing and planning the blooms, but the whole bash, too! Because floral design is such a large part of the event design, you’ll want to make sure your planner (who should be one of your very first, if not the first, hires you make) and florist are comfortable working together if you do book two separate vendors for these tasks.

TWOPHASE 41BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

FileIdea

Hiring a Planner-Florist Versus Florist Only

Before hiring a florist for your wedding, you’ll want to ask a few helpful questions. Do they have a minimum spend you’ll need to meet? Do they have a separate delivery charge? What’s the latest you’ll be able to make changes to your order? After these questions have been answered, you and your florist should be able to have a much clearer picture of the total amount you’ll be spending.

Curious about using fake flowers to cut down on costs? This is certainly an option, but keep in mind the high quality faux flowers that will make someone look twice to figure out if they’re real, are often more expensive than the real flowers themselves!

BOLD, JOYFUL COLORS – With everything going on this year, brides are looking to express joyful, exuberant, bold and colorful vibes to share an optimistic vibe for their long-awaited celebrations.

IMMERSIVE INSTALLATIONS + PHOTO BACKDROPS –Think full-size tunnel walkthroughs, arches and walls, immersive installa tions allow your guests to experience the flowers, rather than just look at them!

FLOATING FLORALS – Hanging floral installations are guaranteed to make jaws drop! These arrangements hang from the ceiling and appear to float above your tables in mid-air.

Floral Trends to Watch

URNS AND POTS – The classic and traditional urn is getting a make over, being used with statement florals but in less stuffy ways, and potted plants allow for reusable decor pieces once the day has come and gone.

PRESSED FLOWERS – An easy way to add a feminine touch to your decor is by incorporating pressed flowers. These dainty blooms can be added to your cake, stationery or even your beauty look (think nails and hair!).

SUSTAINABLE FLORALS – It’s not just a buzzword. Sustainable practices in the wedding industry are becoming standard, and even more so within florals! Foam-free floral design, locally harvested blooms and recycling efforts are just a few ways wedding florists are making sure their practices are more eco-friendly.

Bachelorette FAQs

WHICH CITIES ARE BACHELORETTE PARTY HOTSPOTS?

We suggest hosting your bachelorette party anywhere from two to six weeks before the wedding. Getting crazy with your girls so close to the big day can be a recipe for disaster. A hangover and dark circles don’t make for a very good bridal look.

It’s important to create a unique experience based off of your own group. There truly is something for everyone. Gone are the days where every bachelorette party has to include bar hopping and hot pink everything. Try getting outdoors with your girls for a paddle board session or into a spa for a complete day of pampering. Maybe reservations at a private pop up restaurant for a unique dining experience.

The biggest mistake bridesmaids can make is planning around what they think a bachelorette party should look like instead of what they think the bride really wants. If nightclubs, male strippers and phallic party favors aren’t your thing, don’t book the next ticket to Vegas. Get creative and plan a weekend filled with things that you love. As her wing women, this is your time to cater to your bride-to-be as well as foot the bill, so be sensitive of any personal budgets to avoid tension amongst the group.

HERE’S HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF

WEDDINGBESTWEEK Get

Photo // Courtney Leigh Photography

STEP 1 - The Main Events

Second, accommodate time for travel and prep. List those in your calendar (!!!), and add an extra 30 min to an hour for each to account for late bridal party members or underestimating equipment set-up time. This will be so helpful in keeping the day moving smoothly.

Give yourself some planning or errand time. You’ll likely be answering calls from your planner, caterer, etc. Or maybe you’ve got to make a last minute run to Target for X, Y, Z that you forgot.

Next, reference your people. Who are you wanting to spend those precious last hours as a single guy or gal with? Make plans with those family and friends in the cal. TRUST US! This will be so important in keeping your mental stress low if you’ve already accounted for time with your peeps.

PRO TIP: We also suggest delegating an errand person(s) that you can ping as needed, so you’re not handling all the last minute details yourself.

Go ahead and nail down your plans for breakfast, lunch and dinner if you don’t have family events or obligations at those times. Is a relaxing breakfast in bed with your spouseto-be before the festivities kick off in your future? Or perhaps you want to schedule brunch with your gals to get in one last planning meeting? What will keep you the most sane? ��

STEP 4 - Make Time for Your People

Don’t forget to plan where you and your spouse-to-be will be sleeping. Are you planning a traditional night apart? If so where are each of you staying? What about your pets?

It’s time to fill in all your beauty appointments that remain. Are you planning to get your nails or hair done over the wedding weekend? Maybe a spray tan or wax? Double check length of time for each appointment when booking – you don’t want to be sitting in foils when you’re supposed to be at your bridal brunch. And triple check that your beauty pros KNOW this is for your wedding day so they are hyper-sensitive to doing their best work. ��

STEP 2 - Travel & Prep Time

Needing a little more alone time (hello –families can be CRAZY)? Plan to spend the night together as you normally would! This can be such a relaxing way to start your wedding day – together!

You may choose to schedule a bridal brunch with your bridesmaids or bridal party, or maybe your setup time is spent with your aunts and uncles. Just jot that down.

STEP 6 - Beauty Appointments

Are you working through lunch for set-up at the venue? Delegate a family member to pick up lunch for those of you on location.

STEP 7 - Errand & Planning Time

STEP 3 - Sleeping Arrangements

THREEPHASE 55BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

STEP 5 - Meals

Plug in the big events, like your ceremony rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and bridal brunch, first. Ask your officiant or wedding coordinator on expected length of each event so that you know how much time to allot for each.

THREEPHASE 56 BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

Make sure to give yourself and your spouse-to-be some time to breath! If you need your alone time, this will be critical for your sanity come wedding week. Maybe you’re choosing to run errands solo for a break from your tightly wound siblings. Or go rogue and spend your wedding night alone at your favorite local hotel (get room service and relax – we fully support this!). Just make sure to make space for YOURSELF if that’s something you need.

When to Book: We recommend booking this service 2 weeks before your wedding day .

If you are getting airbrush makeup for your wedding, a face wax is typically recommended.

EYEBROWS:

This is just a basic clean up around the sides and the top. That way if you are in a swimsuit, nothing will peek out of your bikini.

Shaving:

OTHER AREAS:

WAXING

BIKINI AREA:

ARE THERE OTHER HAIR REMOVAL OPTIONS BESIDES WAXING?

5-7 days before your wedding ; however, make sure you have had a trial bikini wax prior to the week-of to ensure you aren’t in pain!

Brazilian: This is the whole thing! Everything goes! This wax gets everything that a full bikini wax gets, plus those hard to reach places in the back!

The eyebrows and bikini area are typically the two waxing options that most brides opt into, however, there are other areas you can choose to get waxed as well:

Although shaving is an easy and inexpensive option, we recommend leaving the hair removal to the professionals this week! Plus, who wants to risk razor burn?!

Of course! Not into waxing? No problem! Check out these alternative options:

Laser Hair Removal:

When to Book:

There are so many different options when it comes to waxing. From your eyebrows, bikini area, legs, armpits, etc. How much or how little you want to wax is completely up to you! Typically, waxing will prevent hair regrowth for about 2-3 weeks – enough time for one appointment for wedding and honeymoon.

Bikini Full:

Make sure you are using the same eyebrow technician you have always used. Stick with your regular brow shape, nothing crazy!

Sugaring:

Bikini Line:

Sugaring is another great hair removal option. Similar to waxing, sugaring will prevent hair regrowth for about 2-3 weeks

This type of wax includes the front, the sides, and the top. You can take off as much or as little as you want!

There are various different types of bikini waxes. The top three are the bikini line, full bikini and Brazilian. Make sure you know which one you are asking for before you go in!

ArmpitsLegsArmsFace

Laser is an amazing alternative for brides who want long term results even after your wedding and honeymoon. However, to see long term results, you will have to start at least 6-12 months prior to your wedding day.

NAILS

A chemical peel is a facial where a chemical solution is applied to your skin to remove the top layers. We recommend doing a chemical peel about two weeks prior to your wedding.

We recommend getting your final facial prior to the week-of! Any of the options below are sure to make all the difference in your skin! Just be sure to give yourself enough time between the appointment and the wedding day, so your red skin can fade to its natural tone.

A simple treatment that includes exfoliation, extractions and cleansing.

Every girl’s favorite way to cope with stress… getting your nails done! Getting a mani-pedi prior to your big day is a MUST!

FACIAL

If you are planning on getting a spray tan, schedule it 2-3 days prior to your wedding.

TRADITIONAL FACIAL:

When to Book:

Leave the bright colors at home – neutrals work best! We suggest going for white or a baby pink color, so your hands aren’t in full-focus in your photos. We recommend getting a gel or dip manicure and pedicure so you know your polish will last through your wedding day and honeymoon.

Don’t DIY if you don’t have to! You want to look and feel your best on your big day, and the last thing you want is an uneven tan. Get your spray tan done after all of your other beauty appointments. Make sure you are confident in your tan and that you have had a trial run prior to the week of.

YOUR GUIDE TO

Just picture yourself making your romantic exit and you’re finally married to the love of your life! The last thing you want to be thinking about is if you tipped your wedding vendors, or even if you tipped them correctly. Whether it’s your wedding planner, your caterer, your valet and so on, you don’t want to be fielding questions or scrambling for cash on your wedding day. We’re here to simplify your life with a comprehensive guide to tipping your wedding vendors. This is your one-stop-shop for all things wedding tipping etiquette — with a few pro tips thrown in to make your big day even better!

Tipping Wedding Vendors

THREEPHASE

Depending on how many vendors you have, the tips could add up, so it’s important to include this cost in your budget. Because tipping can also be somewhat spontaneous based on excellent service, try to add a little padding in your budget, if possible, for the option. You don’t want to get to the event day and try to scramble to tip someone. A little budgeting can stop that stress.

Include tips in the wedding budget.

(WITH ONE EXCEPTION)

Have a plan in place.

Remember to have the cash or checks prepared in advance for vendors being tipped on the day of the wedding.

When it comes to tipping your wedding vendors, not all vendors (and situations) are equal. What that means is that some vendors expect to be tipped, like your makeup artist, and others don’t require it but would appreciate the gesture, like your musicians,

POINTERS ON HOW TO NAVIGATE THE TIPPING PROCESS:

Check your contracts.

1. 4. 3.

Traditionally, you do not need tip business owners. There are exceptions to this in the case of photographers who are both the owner and the service provider. In those cases, you may want to make the exception.

and others still that build that cost into their contract with you. For example, some vendors will need to be tipped and others will give a service charge. Not to confuse the matter, but having a service charge by one vendor — your caterer, for example – doesn’t mean you don’t need to tip the delivery person or even the wait staff.

Vendors such as reception staff, caterers and venues who are providing day-of management, among others, often put service charges or gratuity in the contract. Be sure to go through all your contracts to determine where that may already be covered.

You don’t need to tip business owners.

Go through this complete list of wedding vendors and determine who all you need, or at least may need to tip. If you have a wedding planner, this is a task they can provide invaluable help with, so be sure to check with your planner if you want extra help. Once you determine who is on the list for tipping, you’ll want to have a plan for when and how to get them their tip. For some vendors, it’s upon delivery, at the end of the night, or even after the honeymoon.

Excellent service is when vendors go above and beyond the agreed-upon terms — this can be before, during or after the wedding, so keep that in mind.

This may be multiple people or one person, but someone needs to be in charge of dispersing tips during the wedding day — as well as before or after, as needed. If you have a planner or day-of coordinator, they are the person you will want to designate as tip manager. If you don’t have a planner, think through the day and the process and enlist your wedding party or family to help with different vendors. The main point — don’t try to do this yourself because you have a lot on your plate that day.

Reward excellent service.

Ultimately, tipping is about rewarding excellent service, not feeling compelled. The goal is to be thoughtful of the type of service that is being provided, to be aware of how different service providers make their money and give financial compensation appropriately.

Complete Guide to all the Wedding Planning Lingo

Photo // Amanda Watson Photography

You’re engaged and that means it’s time to plan your wedding! We’ve created a list of wedding planning terminology to help you feel confident when you walk into any wedding planning meetings. You’ll know your sheet cake from your cutting cake — and what a godet is by the time you’re through. Here’s a quick guide to all the words you need to know to help you eat, drink and be married!

68 BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS — These are used as a way to document the couple’s engagement and are often personalized in a way that showcases the couple’s love story. This is also commonly used to get comfortable working with your wedding photographer.

FIANCÉ — The person to whom you are engaged. This can also refer to a man who is engaged to be married, which takes from the French version of this term.

DESIGN

MOOD BOARD — Your mood board is something that helps you visually communicate your wedding inspiration and desired style. This can include images with certain colors or textures as well as physical items that you are inspired by. Your planner will often create a mood board with you. However, you can create your own and use it in your meetings with your vendor team.

PALETTE — This refers to the range of colors you plan to use at your wedding. You may get asked, “what is your color palette?” While you may have a single color in mind, you’ll want to have a range of colors that work well together. Your wedding planner or primary vendor can help you create this.

WEDDING WEBSITE — A personal wedding website is a website that engaged couples use to communicate with guests for their wedding. These can range from free services to highly customized designs for a fee. Couples use these to tell their love story, share wedding details, gift registry information and more.

69BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

It’s important to note that American English doesn’t have gendered word endings, but if you see these terms this is what they can mean.

FIANCÉE — A woman who is engaged to be married.

WEDDING REGISTRY — A service offered by a store or organization where a couple lists their gift preferences for their family and friends to use. Couples typically choose 2-4 places to register for wedding gifts. This term can also be listed as Bridal Registry and Gift Registry.

WEDDING HASHTAG — Personalized wedding hashtags are used so that guests can follow updates from the wedding as well as post their photos and well-wishes from the event on social media in a way that the couple can easily find it. Some services will help you generate wedding hashtags. Example: #PartyWithThePerkins or #FinallyTheJacksons

PLANNINGWEDDINGENGAGEMENT

PARTIAL PLANNING — This typically involves month-of wedding coordination along with some additional planning services with a set number of hours dedicated to the client. This can be helpful for couples who want to be very hands-on but need professional coordination as the day gets closer.

VENUE WALKTHROUGH — A venue walkthrough is an appointment to see a potential wedding venue, ask questions, take pictures and ultimately, envision what your event would look like there. All wedding venues encourage couples to schedule an appointment for a personalized venue walkthrough.

VENDOR MEAL — This refers to the additional meals you may need to arrange for the vendors that will be working at the event itself.

WEDDING COORDINATOR — While most wedding planners offer coordination services, a wedding coordinator maintains contact with vendors and serves as a liaison for the couple. Many wedding coordinators offer month-of, week-of, and day-of services.

FULL PLANNING — This refers to wedding planning and coordination packages for couples who want a full-time professional to oversee every aspect of their wedding planning and wedding day. This includes things such as vendor management, scheduling, marriage license, tracking RSVPs, creating the planning timeline and overseeing the big day itself, etc.

BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COMLOGISTICS

RAIN PLAN — A rain plan is just what it sounds like. It is the backup plan in case of rain and inclement weather.

SHOT LIST — This refers to the list of desired photos you would like the photographer or videographer to capture at your wedding events. You will want to think through what types of images are most important to you.

ROOM FLIP — This refers to when a room is completely transformed between the stages of a wedding or event. The most common room flip example is having your guests leave the ceremony for a cocktail hour only to come back to the same room for the reception. This is done to help economize for space and budget as well as to limit the inconvenience of needing multiple locations.

BLACK TIE OPTIONAL — This dress code indicates that men do not have to wear a tuxedo and women have the option to wear a range from full-length gowns to cocktail dresses.

CODEDRESSTYPEWEDDING

HARD-STOP — The time at which your wedding festivities have to be over by and guests need to be off the premises.

BLACK TIE — This dress code is for events starting after 6 p.m. and is traditionally the most formal dress code.

71BRIDESOFAUSTIN.COM

ELOPEMENT — While the term elopement used to indicate running away to get married, now the term is most commonly used to indicate a purposefully small or paired down event. This could range from only the couple being in attendance to having a few friends and family.

GOLDEN HOUR — This is a photographer term referring to a pre-sunset time when the natural light is ideal for taking wedding photos. The event time will play into when your wedding photos should be taken.

IN-HOUSE — This is the term used when additional services are offered by the vendor. Most commonly this is used in relation to venues. They often offer in-house catering or floral arrangements services and event planning in some cases.

DESTINATION WEDDING — This refers to a wedding that takes place in a different state or country than the couple lives and often has the wedding party or guests staying with the couple for a weekend or more in that location.

MICRO WEDDING — A micro wedding is a wedding or reception with less than 50 guests. One version of a micro wedding is to combine an elopement with a small reception.

INTIMATE WEDDING — An intimate wedding typically has fewer than 75 guests. This style of wedding is purposefully low-key, though that doesn’t have to mean casual.

FLOWER WALL — This can be a full wall of florals or can refer to single flowers or garlands draped in single strands as a backdrop.

BUTTERCREAM — This is a popular icing for wedding cakes. The most common types of buttercream are American, Swiss Meringue and Italian Meringue.

GARLAND — This is a band or chain of flowers, leaves, or other types of foliage. This can refer also to wreaths worn on the head, but typically refers to the festive florals draped in loops throughout the event space or as runners on tables.

FONDANT — Fondant is associated with more luxurious cakes and is most often used to sculpt or decorate cakes. It’s a unique consistency and is a popular alternative to the buttercream.

NOSEGAY — This refers to a small bunch of flowers that are often particularly sweetlyscented. Other terms for this type of bouquet are posy and tussie-mussie.

ROYAL ICING — Royal Icing is a mixture of powdered sugar, water and meringue powder. This is most often used to hold decorations together and in piping.

CUTTING CAKE — This is the cake that gets cut in the traditional ceremony for the photo opportunity, but is not typically enough to serve all the guests at the wedding. This is also a more expensive cake.

GANACHE — This is another popular way to “ice” a cake, as well as, a cake filling. It is a mixture of chocolate and cream and has a firm consistency.

CAKE

NAKED CAKE — This is easily identifiable because it has minimal or no outer layer of frosting to show off the cake’s texture and filling. This trend has been around for a while now and has only gained in popularity.

SHEET CAKE — This is the cake that is a less expensive option and is slightly different from your cutting cake typically. This is most often cut in the kitchen and served to guests as single slices.

POMANDER — As it relates to weddings, a pomander is typically a decorative ball of flowers used in wedding decor.

FOOD & DRINK

CORKAGE FEE — This is the fee charged per bottle, specifically when you have provided your own wine or alcohol. You will want to speak with your caterer about their corkage fee policy when negotiating your contract.

FIRST LOOK — A first look is when the bride and groom have a private moment to see each other before the ceremony. This is often captured on film by the photographer and videographer. First looks can also be done with other members of the couple’s friends or family.

VOWS — Vows are the promises partners make to each other during the wedding ceremony. Many couples opt for writing their own vows either in addition to or instead of the traditional options. Depending on the culture and/or religious background of the couple, vow types can vary greatly.

RECESSIONAL — This is when the wedding party exits after the ceremony.

COCKTAIL HOUR — The hour after the ceremony and before the reception where guests mingle and are served drinks as well as food such as hors d’oeuvres. This doesn’t always have to be an hour.

WEDDING PROCESSIONAL — This refers to the wedding party walking down the aisle. This includes the officiant, parents, bridesmaids, flower girl, ring bearer, bride and groom.

CELEBRATIONTHECEREMONYTHEREADYGETTING

PRELUDE — This is the music that is played while guests are being seated for the ceremony. It can be whatever the couple prefers.

CELEBRATIONTHE

CANAPE — A small piece of bread or pastry with a savory topping served with drinks.

SIGNATURE COCKTAIL — This can be one drink or in some cases, two drinks from the bride and groom served as a particular treat for the event. Couples often pull from their love story, family history and more to create a special drink for their wedding day.

PLATED SIT-DOWN DINNER — This style of catering is usually predetermined with options listed on the reply card of the wedding invitation. Guests are served their meal by the wait staff.

FEASTING STYLE— This style of catering usually features a variety of food options where guests can serve themselves. In feasting style, there is a particular focus on beauty and delightful tastes. In some cases, this looks like a luxurious charcuterie set up.

Tips on Serving Custom Cocktails at Your Wedding

OPEN BAR — At an open bar option, the drinks have been paid for by the host.

CRUDITE — These are traditional french appetizers featuring sliced or whole raw vegetables with dipping sauces.

Do your research. Our site has tons of helpful guides to help newly engaged folks just like yourself. Plus, there are many helpful resources online. Rely on your vendors for their guidance, but make sure you are staying up-to-date with the information.

Don’t assume anything. It can be easy to assume you and a vendor are on the same page but don’t do it. Don’t assume something is included in the contract because it seems like it would be or vice versa.

DETAILSRECEPTIONTERMINOLOGYPLANNINGWEDDING

GRAND ENTRANCE — This is when the newlyweds are introduced at the reception.

THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE MOST COMMON WEDDING PLANNING TERMINOLOGY THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

HEAD TABLE — This is the principal table at the wedding reception where the wedding party traditionally sits. In some cases, the newlyweds sit with the group at the head table. In other cases, they have their own private sweetheart table.

SEND-OFF — This is when the couple makes their official exit from the reception. Traditionally, this is where the couple leaves for their honeymoon, but many modern couples opt for a different timeline. The send-off is where the couple walks through the guests who have lined up to cheer them out. Guests can cheer with bubbles, streamers, flowers, flags and more. Many people also make their exit to fireworks.

SWEETHEART TABLE — A private table set up just for the newlywed couple.

Here are a few quick recommendations for learning the rest of what you need to know —

Get comfortable asking questions. Whether it’s contract or pricing negotiations or wondering what the difference is between family-style and feasting-style is, it’s important to be comfortable asking vendors to explain the details. If you’re not clear on something, don’t be embarrassed to ask for clarification. Vendors are usually happy to explain.
