LOCAL WEDDING GUIDE

Some rest and relaxation

Metro News Service

Get everything you want from your honeymoon.

Local travel agents can offer advice on honeymoon planning

By KRISTEN GLOSS @GLOSS_BP

Congratulations, bride and groom! You made it through the big day and are now ready for some rest and relaxation on your honeymoon.

Maybe you want to sip margaritas on a beach or not worry about a thing on an all-inclusive cruise. Maybe relaxing on a beach

isn’t really your thing, but you would love to go backpacking through Europe or explore a city in Japan.

Planning your dream honeymoon in addition to planning a wedding can be a lot of work, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.

“A common misconception is that it costs more money to use

a travel agent. Especially younger people [think this] because they may not have used an agent before. In many cases, especially honeymoons, most travel agents would be compensated from the hotel and the travel supplier, often having no additional cost to the traveler,” said Valeri French, owner of French’s Worldwide See MAKING, Page B4

Travel.

French’s Worldwide Travel in Newington and Globe Travel Service in Bristol work with couples to help navigate through all of the vacation options.

Both companies first find out what their clients envision for their trip and what their budget is.

“Everyone has a different lifestyle and there are travel choices people pick that connect with their lifestyle,” said French.

“People nowadays like to look online and do their own research, so we help direct that research. The travel world online is overwhelming and very hard to differentiate. That’s where

we lend assistance.”

“It really depends on what their needs and expectations are. We try to make their expectations realistic,” said Jeff Sonenstein, president of

Couples should start planning their honeymoon 6 to 10 months in advance.

Globe Travel Service.

French’s Worldwide Travel agents have been working in the industry from 16 to over 25 years, and each agent travels to many of the places they recommend personally.

This is also true for Globe Travel Service agents, who have worked 20 to 25 years in the business.

French recommends finding a travel agent that is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents, which has a strict code of ethics. Agents often have access to tools that allow them to book trips with preferential pricing.

Couples also should start planning their honeymoon 6 to 10 months in advance.

Beyond planning for a honeymoon, travel agents can help if anything were to go wrong, such as cancellations or delays.

“To have somebody that you can call locally on their

phone number, not wait in line at the airport for the cancelled flights to try to get yourself rescheduled, one call to us and we take care of everything. I hear time and time again, ‘how can people not use travel agents.’”

Making the right decision

Many factors to consider in choosing a wedding venue

O

nce couples become engaged and share the good news with their friends and families, the next step is to begin planning their weddings.

While couples must make a myriad of decisions during the wedding planning process, perhaps none is more significant than where to tie the knot.

According to The Knot 2016 Real Weddings Study, the average cost of a wedding for couples who married in 2016 was $35,329. That’s a sizable amount, and a big portion of that was spent on the wedding venue. The Real Weddings Study found that

couples spent an average of

eration to a host of factors

According to The Knot 2016 Real Weddings Study, the average cost of a wedding for couples who married in 2016 was $35,329. $16,107 on their wedding venues in 2016. That figure easily dwarfs the next biggest expense ($6,163 for the engagement ring) for couples tying the knot.

Because the wedding venue comes with such a potentially high sticker price, couples should give ample consid-

before choosing where to get married.

Size

Until they can agree on a guest list, couples might want to delay even looking for venues. However, some couples might want to first look at some venues so they can deter-

mine just how many guests they can afford to invite.

Whether they’re hosting small affairs or large parties, couples should choose venues that can comfortably accommodate all of their guests. If possible, look for venues with multiple reception areas, which might allow for some wiggle room if the guest list grows or dwindles during the planning process.

Availability

Some couples might have an ideal time of year they hope to get married. Some even know the exact date they hope See FIND, Page B14

LOCAL WEDDING GUIDE

n a day when all eyes and cameras will be trained on them, it’s natural for brides and grooms tying the knot to want to look their best. As a result, many couples invest a portion of their budgets into spa and beauty treatments, with many even hiring salon stylists to ensure their wedding-day looks are flawless.

Women with short hair may lament that they do not have many options when styling their hair for their wedding days. Some may even consider growing out their locks. However, plenty of creative styles exist for ladies without long locks.

Retro glamour

Brides may want to harken back to an era when glamour reigned supreme. Replicate one of the short styles of the 1940s or 1950s, paying homage to Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, or Judy Garland.

Braids can add whimsy to shoulder-length or shorter hair. In addition, braids can anchor short locks when an up-do is desired. Braids can be placed into the front or rear crown of the head to look like a hair halo or crown.

Use embellishments

If short hair cannot be gathered into a braid or bun, you can opt for adorned pins, barrettes or headbands to add a touch of sparkle to the look. Ask a stylist to tease the crown of your hair to achieve a little more height and impact.

Platinum and gold are some of the most popu-

lar ring setting metals.

Platinum costs considerably more than gold or silver, but is longlasting. Couples should weigh the cost versus benefit of splurging on a more expensive metal, or speak with a jeweler about a suitable substitute.  Investigate personal style. Men should pay attention to the jewelry their girlfriends wear so the engagement rings complement their style. Some women love modern jewelry, while others gravitate toward vintage pieces.  Come in under carat.

Buying just shy of the next carat weight can save between 20 and 30 percent, offers The Knot. Plus, the size discrepancy probably will not be visible to the naked eye.

 Think about trading up.

Some couples like to replace engagement rings with a more elaborate ring for a big anniversary. Some jewelers will accept the purchase of the engagement ring toward the cost.

he phrase “tying the knot” is synonymous with getting married.

Although the words can represent the symbolic joining of two lives together, in some cultures, getting married actually requires tying a knot.

The custom traces its origins to an ancient Babylonian tradition in which threads from the clothes of both the bride and groom were tied in a knot to represent the couple’s union. Other cultures have embraced this tradition, and couples tie ceremonial knots during their wedding ceremonies.

Wedding costs: What to expect

N

ewly engaged couples may experience an array of emotions when they sit down to plan their weddings. Some couples cannot wait to jump into planning and want to catalog every aspect of the process, while others may proceed with caution because they don’t know what to expect Ð particularly in regard to cost.

Many couples find it difficult to create their wedding budgets because they have no previous experience to draw on. The wedding planning advisor CostofWedding.com indicates the average wedding cost in the United States is $26,720, with most people spending between $20,000 and $34,000. Seventh Heaven Event Catering states that, in Canada, the average wedding costs around $30,000. Such costs can vary greatly depending on couples’ preferences, including where they hope to tie the knot.

By breaking down wedding expenses, couples can get a clearer picture of how much they may need to pay for their weddings and where they may need to cut costs.

Some venues may be booked for as much as a year or more in advance during peak wedding season. The Real Weddings Study found that the most popular months to get married in 2016 were October and September.

Couples who hope to follow in the footsteps of many 2016 brides and grooms may need to book their wedding venues well in advance. Those who can be more flexible regarding their wedding dates may find it easier to book their dream venues.

Financials

It’s easy for couples to be focused on the bottom line when choosing wedding venues, but it’s also important that they get a complete grasp of the financials before choosing a wedding venue. Ask about the amount of the initial deposit and if that deposit is refundable.

In addition, ask when the deposit is due and when each subsequent payment is due until the balance is paid in full. This can make budgeting easier and planning less stressful.

Ask about the venue’s insurance policies, including the policies the venue has to protect itself. In addition, ask if the venue requires

couples to have their own wedding liability insurance for protection in the event of injury, property damage or incidents related to alcohol. Couples may also want to make the investment in cancellation/postponement insurance, and some venues may even require it.
