Heidi Mae Bratt x

F rom the beginning of time brides

have wanted to make their wed-

ding day one of the most mem-

orable and special days of their

lives For the few hours of the well-plannedand long-dreamed-about party where they

are center stage they want everything to

be perfect or as perfect as it can be

Many also want it to be on trend

How many remember the 1981 royal

wedding of Diana Princess of Wales The

celebrated nuptials not only captured the

attention of the world but ushered in the

look of the decade which reflected a bride

beauti983142ied by puffy sleeves lace cathedral

train veils pearls cinched waists and

sequinsThese days you nary see a puff on a

sleeve That decadersquos trends went way

beyo nd the dress spil ling into ever y

aspect of the wedding from picture taking

(posed family portraits rather than natural

documentary-style photography) to the

cake (a stacked tiered cake held together

by columns rather than cupcakes or mini

desserts) to the venue (a party in a hotel ballroom rather than a wedding held at a

number of unique places)

We queried several of our own area wed-

ding makers to get their take on what is

new and now in the way of the wedding

Les Friedman owner of Northern Val-

ley Affairs at Temple Emanu-El in Closter

said that having a wedding in a space that

is both indoor and outdoor is something

that many brides want

ldquoBrides de983142initely are looking for theoption of indoor-outdoor for their wed-

ding so they can have the choice when the

weather is permittingrdquo he said

At Northern Valley Affairs events can

even defy the weather outside If itrsquos cold

and the couple wants to use its outdoor

space for the ceremony or for cocktails

heating lamps warm up the outdoors some

30 degrees He said Mr Friedman with

nearly 40 years experience in the events

business works with his general manager

Marty MagedldquoThe outdoor space is used especially

during the warm weather months but we

just did a late November wedding and yes

while it was warm outside 48 degrees we

were able to get it to 70 degrees with the

heating lampsrdquo he said

Brides are also looking for lighting to add

to the ambiance of the party At Northern

Valley Affairs LED lights change the look of

the room or the patio in an instant creat-

ing a different feeling as they change colorfrom amber to purple to blue for example

When it comes to dining Mr Friedman

who cut his teeth on the grand smorgas-

bords of yesterday (remember the stuffed

cabbage and barley laden cha983142ing dishes)

and the heavily prime-rib plated main

courses said there is a major difference

in how the wedding guests are enjoying

their meals today Smaller prettier more

interesting and more ethnic is what is on

the menu especially for appetizers he

said Mini martini glasses 983142illed with sushi- grade tuna and Asian slaw or a tapas-sized

Peking duck roll with a dab of Hoisin sauce

served at various stations is what is big

these days

ldquoThey want a small dainty one-bite

ldquoOne thing that

has not changedand will never change

is that people still want good service

Service is of theutmost importancerdquo

mdash Maria Daidone

With every decade there are new trends forweddings that make the ceremony au courant

Now




appetizer They donrsquot want to have to use

a knife or fork They just want to pick and

gordquo he said

The small sized and big variety option

goes for dessert as well

Instead of the slice of wedding cake

(where do you see the bride and groom

even cutting the cake before the guests)

and the groaning and overflowing Vien-

nese table laden with desserts the sweets

are made part of the party Mini desserts

are served butler-style to guests who are

either seated or still dancing The offerings

are dizzying from dipped pretzels to cake

lollipops to mini-cheesecakes (pareve)

Sweets arrive on the dance floor as the

guests are boogieing

Another big trend is that the dancing

just doesnrsquot stop Brides want the party to

go on and on

ldquoYears ago the band would stop playingabout 983142ive times and ask the guests to be

seated to be served their various courses

the fruit cup salad appetizer main

course and dessert They used to take a

break every 20 minutes Now itrsquos nonstop

dancing in the ballroom Maybe they sit

down twicerdquo he said

Deena Greenstein the in-house event

planner for Five Star Caterers and head of

Deena Greenstein Events says that wed-

dings are no longer hamstrung by old con-

ventions or traditionsldquoThere are no rules anymore People are

doing whatever they wantrdquo she said

For example setting up a lounge for

guests was a thing common to bar and bat

mitzvahs but now weddings are including

this element In addition custom is king

she said whether it is custom linen a cus-

tom bar with a monogrammed design or

a custom dance floor

For the food Ms Greenstein said there

is a ldquoblend and balance of fun and healthyrdquosuch as a lean lamb turkey or vegetable

sliders with shoestring French fries

ldquoThere is the fun stuff but itrsquos coupled

with the classic and organic foods like

fresh vegetables and local seasonal pro-

duce Ms Greenstein said ldquoSushi is also

making a big comeback with not only the

quality but also the excitement of a beauti-

ful displayrdquo

Maria Daidone owner of the The Estates

at Florentine Gardens in River Vale said

that outdoor ceremonies where guestsenjoy the natural space is something that

has become a big part of todayrsquos weddings

Her venue she added has ldquoa beautiful gar-

den spacerdquo

Another thing Ms Daidone has noted is

that the color scheme is lighter with more

brides choosing to have their weddings

in shades that are more subdued such as

cream and nudeldquoYears ago everything was lavender but

you donrsquot see that todayrdquo she said

For after-dessert or the little goodie

sendoff food trucks have become a big

trend Guests can get donuts coffee

candy and pretzels anything that yoursquod

get from a food truck right at the event

ldquoThey just park outside and when guests

are leaving they give them water or soda or

a snackrdquo Ms Daidone said ldquoItrsquos become a

big thing in the last couple of yearsrdquo

Yossi Abadi owner of the Palisadium inCliffside Park said that the do-it-yourself

trend especially in the era of Pinterest

has become favored at weddings

For instance the centerpieces on the

tables are no longer big overwhelming

bou quet s of flowers but perhaps an

arrangement of shrubs that has been

designed by the bride Another example

of new and now is how the hosts commu-nicate with guests about where they are

to be seated Creative ways such as a big

billboard have replaced individual place

cards Mr Abadi said

ldquoWe had one client recently who used a

large mirror that had the guestsrsquo names on

it instead of place cardsrdquo he said

Whatrsquos new at the Marriott Glenpointe

is a complete renovation of its 345 guest

rooms an overhaul that includes new

bathrooms furniture carpeting and wall-

paper For guests who will use the hotelrooms for their bridal party or wedding

this is a bonus said Mitchell Heymann

director of sales and marketing

When it comes to weddings at hotels

Gerry Burns the director of catering at

the Pearl River Hilton in Pearl River NY

said that she has seen more full-weekend

weddings at her hotel than in the past In

the past it may have just been a Saturdaynight event but these days the wedding

spans the weekend Guests may arrive on

Friday for Shabbat for a rehearsal dinner

They spend Saturday either observing the

Sabbath or enjoying the day otherwise

with various activities attend the Satur-

day night wedding and then remain at the

hotel until Sunday for a farewell brunch

ldquoItrsquos a destination wedding without hav-

ing to really go far to a destinationrdquo said

Ms Burns

Noam Sokolow president of Rave Cater-ing and Event Planning said that many

weddings are taking place at unique ven-

ues such as old mansions or farms with

barns If the affair is smaller and more

intimate 200 guests as compared to 400

Grand cocktail receptions featuring an array of smallfinger food are very popular these days

Lovely outdoor venues like this setting in a garden gazebo are somethingthat brides are looking for

Brides and grooms want documentary style photography to capture their event more than posed stills

guests it can take place in a more unique setting he said

ldquoPeople are inviting friends and not just people they are

friendly withrdquo he said

The music for weddings is also being mixed up a bit Itis not unusual to 983142ind a live band during the cocktail hour

and ceremony and then a DJ playing great dance music for

the party that follows

When it comes to food according to Mr Sokolow

pairings of food and drink are very popular For example

983142ish tacos may be served with an individual margarita slid-

ers can be chased down with a beer and bourbon-infused

short ribs can be enjoyed with a shot of bourbonAri Starkman owner of The Elan in Lodi said that

grand cocktail receptions are very popular these days

In addition Mr Starkman said there are more ethnic

customizations such as combining for example Russian

and Chinese elements in the wedding He recalled one

affair in which caviar and blintzes (Russian) shared the

menu with steamed dumplings (Chinese) because the

groom was Russian Jewish and the bride was Chinese ndasha culinary combination that gives a nod to both of their

cultures

With weddings styles may change The music may play

longer The food may be jazzed up But brides grooms

and their guests will always want to have a wonderful

party that celebrates their union in a special way and that

will be a memorable event

ldquoAnd one thing that has not changed and will never

changerdquo said Ms Daidone of The Estates at Florentine

Gardens ldquois that people still want good service Service is

of the utmost importance That will never change I hope

Giving our guests good old hospitalityrdquo

Seating arrangementsTop trends in wedding place cards Sharon Naylor x

Y ou may have seen guests

crowded around a reception

table searching for their alpha-

betically arranged place cards

That shoulder-to-shoulder press of guests

has long been a scene at weddings and

todayrsquos innovations help eliminate the

long line and discomfort of trying to read

those small cards

Now the traditional card kerfuffle may

be replaced by a new display It rsquos a top

wedding trend and a popular place card

option seen on Pinterest is to eliminate the

printed card and write guestsrsquo names on a

tall vertical display such as a glass window

or mirror Guestsrsquo names and table num-

bers c an be displayed on signs installed

behind the bar or hung in frames gallery-

style on the walls at the cocktail partyThese vertical card-free table assignments

become decor pieces as well as easy-to-use

directions for guests

Vertical displays have also given the

tradition a twist by listing guestsrsquo names

according to table number not alpha-

betically Itrsquos easy for guests to spot their

names under say Table 7 and they can

see names of the other guests with whom

theyrsquore seated No more standing by the

place card table little card in hand ask-

ing their friends ldquoWhere are you sittingrdquo

Jenny Orsini wedding planner says that

this place card display creates better

momentum for your celebration allowing

guests to move right into the cocktail party

or reception without that ldquopileup of name-

searching at an entry tablerdquo

If you do wish to have printed place

cards use pretty cardstock and gorgeous

fonts that coordinate with your wedding

invitations and other print items at your wedding Decorat ive borders seasonal

colors theme motifs and elegant hand-

writing or print on the cards are all great

options (ldquoJust no computer-printed labels

pleaserdquo says Orsini pointing to the lack of

elegance in that method)

As an alternative to the tented card

flat cards are also used mdash perhaps stood

up in sand- grass- or floral-983142illed trays

for a pretty presentation These flat cards

may be attached to take-home favors like

ornate keys or charms And flat cards are

also being af983142ixed via ribbon to mini bot-

tles of bourbon tequila chocolate liqueur

or other take-home tastes that work dou-

ble-duty as place cards and favors

And another trend in wedding place

cards is writing guestsrsquo names in metallic

pen on shiny green leaves or on polished

river stones for a natural feel to comple-

ment wedding decor This natural style

is a thrill for guests since they can takethe ldquocardrdquo home and put it on display

perhaps next to a framed photo of them-

selves taken at the wedding That adds

more appreciation for your chosen design

than a simple printed card theyrsquore likely to

leave on the table at the end of the night

Speaking of keepsakes a framed dis-

play of guestsrsquo names and table numbers

becomes a wonderful keepsake for you

Perhaps a dating or engaged couple who

originally met at your wedding seated

together at Table 7 will want the display

to be shown at their wedding someday

All in the approachMaking your wedding path stand out

Sharon Naylor x

A s you plan your wedding decor

donrsquot forget about the paths

leading to your ceremony and

reception You may have cho-

sen your wedding location simply for the

beauty of the venue itself but you cancreate a fabulous scene for your arriving

guests by decorating the trees along the

driveway or footpath Their anticipation

builds as they see your decor and light-

ing effects along the way giving them an

even more magical 983142irst impression of your

wedding day And if your venue is one that

your guests have been to for other wed-

dings decorating the approach to the site

makes for a new unique experience

Here are some ways to make your wedding paths stand out

Hanging floralsAdorn the pathrsquos tree line with flowers and

garlands that hint at your weddingrsquos floral

motif Joyce Maffeo florist at BloomNa-

tion says ldquoYou can either display flowers

on their own such as by stringing florals

on ribbon or 983142ishing wire or display flow-

ers inside antique bottles or other glass

vesselsrdquo The advantage of the in-vessel

flower display is that flowers stay hydrated with a bit of water in the bottle allowing

them to hold up well in late-summerearly-

fall sunshine

Some open-air flowers that Maffeo

recommends for their staying power

include orchids eucalyptuses and strung

daisies

ldquoFor in-vessel flowers consider protea

orchids hypericum and ornamental kale

for a pop of purple colorrdquo says Maffeo

ldquoWreaths hanging from trees also add to

the beautiful approachrdquo One flower to be

wary of since it easily wilts in the sun is

hydrangea Maffeo suggests instead using

bunches of carnations which hold up

better in the sun

This knowledge of flowersrsquo strength in

sunshine mdash important since your floral

team will likely set up your approach

decor several hours before your wedding

mdash is one example of why you should have

professionals create your floral pieces

String lights andhanging lanternsFor a sunset or evening wedding string

lights arranged in the trees add breath-

taking effect whether you use just a few

string lights per tree or many In addi-

tion to string lights lanterns hung from

S-hooks on the trees create that trendy

look of rustic elegance And you can take

those lanterns home after the wedding to

use them in your own backyard

Non-hanging lanternsTall lanterns clustered along a path or set

on stairs leading to the wedding sites are

a new top trend for weddings this year

and next Lanterns may be metallic such

as copper or bronze or rustic-themed in

white or black Upscale home decor stores

sell lanterns as part of the outdoor enter-

taining trend These larger lanterns can be

used at home after your big day

Candles

Position a large number of traditional orLED candles in glass vessels at the entrance

to your ceremony or reception spot This

is a stunning look for exterior doors and

if you have a portico that guests will pass

through to get to an inner ceremony or

celebration space arrange a large amount

of vessel-nested candles on either side of a

clear walking pathway

Tiki torchesldquoThe use of Tiki torches creates not only

a path to the reception but also softens

the lighting for a romantic moodrdquo says

Allison Sells catering manager for Caneel

Bay Resort in the US Virgin Islands Since

Tiki torches create one single light source

per torch pair them with overhead string

lights or ground-set lanterns to multiply

your lighting effect

UplightingSetting lights at the base of trees and

directing the light upward gives those trees

a magical and impressive glow Sells says

that uplighting palm trees creates a ldquowowrdquofactor especially complementing a tropical

wedding location

Signs

Chalkboard signs with personalized

messages can be used multiple times along

the path with friendly welcome messages

invitations to ldquoGet the party startedrdquo and

directions to wedding sites In the evening

try lit marquee signs illuminating the path

with words like ldquoLoverdquo ldquoXOXOrdquo or your

monogram These too can be take-home

decor to forever remind you of your big

day

MusicPiped-in music along your path adds a wel-

coming soundtrack to the approach

If your venue has an interesting history

beautiful scenery or perhaps a s tunning

sunset that will light up the sky with colors

during your weddingrsquos arrival time you

might not need any additional decor or

lighting at all Mother Nature has taken

care of that as her wedding gift to you

T he honeymoon is typically the last climactic

event of the wedding process As the culminat-

ing event that pulls everything together and

leaves couples with their 983142irst opportunity to

relax and begin enjoying life together itrsquos important to

make it as enjoyable as possible But where do you begin

when it comes to choosing where and how to enjoy your

983142irst moments together as a married couple on your

honeymoon

Choosing a honeymoon destination that represents

your interests as a couple is perhaps the best place to start

narrowing down destination choices Do you love art andmuseums If so a large city with ample opportunity for

you to spend the days among art exhibits and historical

pieces is probably best suited for you Perhaps yoursquore a

couple who consider themselves literary Take some time

to research places where literary authors made history

and immerse yourself in these same spots Maybe a good

time for you means spending most of your days beach-

side Be sure to choose a honeymoon destination where

you can spend your days on the beach and take part in

activities on the water Enjoying the overall culture of your

destination is an important key to having a happy and ful-983142illing experience on your honeymoon

You neednrsquot spend an outrageous amount of money

traveling to a tropical destination either Chances are

that there are beautiful spots closer than you think where

you could make great memories doing the things you both

love In fact building your honeymoon itinerary around

the activities you love allows you to consider an array of

vacation spots that 983142it a number of budgets Whether itrsquos

staying in your country your state or even your own city

yoursquore bound to 983142ind a number of ways to celebrate They

key is to narrow down activities that are important to you

both and plan your honeymoon around cities where youknow you can have a good time doing the things you enjoy

If you are hoping to spend your vacation traveling to

faraway destinations there are other ways to be budget-

conscious while still having a good time overseas Cruises

are one honeymoon option that more and more couples

are taking advantage of every day Theyrsquore great for those

hoping to get more bang for their buck According to Lux-

ury Travel Magazine ldquowith some cruise lines port taxes

meals drinks entertainment activities and even tips are

all included in the upfront cost of a cruise Itrsquos easy to work

out a per-day cost to compare to other forms of travelrdquo

Taking a cruise also simpli983142ies the logistical process of

vacationing For example you need only unpack and pack

once Most if not all meals are included in the passen-

ger fare as well as an array of activities to be enjoyed on

the ship Splurging on meals at local spots where the ship

docks allows couples to experience 983142ine dining without

having to worry about shelling out cash at every single

meal The same goes for activities Many cruise lines orga-

nize activities off the ship that couples can take part in

such as scuba diving and museum tours which means less

hassle and work involved in 983142inding fun things to do in

your destination city leaving more time both on and offthe boat to enjoy yourselves to the fullest

A similar option for those who donrsquot want to deal with

all the stress and planning of both a wedding and a hon-

eymoon is the all-inclusive resort All-inclusives are great

for those looking for a hassle-free experience Couples can

How to choose how and where to honeymoon

pamper themselves and share all of the same bene983142its as

cruisers such as included activities and meals Just be sure

to choose a destination yoursquod both be interested in explor-

ing and experiencing to some depth because you likely

wonrsquot be doing much more than day trips to closer more

local spots This is de983142initely an upside for those looking

to stay in one place for longer and more deeply immerse

themselves in the culture art and cuisine of one location

of their choosing rather than visiting an array of destina-

tions for a short amount of time

Itrsquos clear that no matter your focus interest or budget

there are several different options to take advantage of

when creating a lasting honeymoon experienceCreatorscom

Best guestEtiquette tips for wedding attendees Kristen Castillo x

Once the invitation arrives in

the mail you start asking your-

self questions ldquoWhat should I

wearrdquo ldquoWhat gift should I getrdquo

ldquoCan I invite a guestrdquo

All of these questions and more are com-

mon concerns for wedding guests Read on

for tips from wedding and etiquette profes-sionals for answers to your questions and

983142ind out what it takes to be a great guest

Can you bring a dateThe general rule The only people who

can attend the wedding are the ones listed

on the invitation So if the invite says ldquoMr

and Mrs Jonesrdquo then only the husband

and wife can attend If it just says ldquoMiss

Jonesrdquo then the woman must attend the

wedding aloneMake sure you RSVP for the wedding

by the date indicated on the invitation

Showing up anyway after neglecting to

RSVP is a big no-no

If your childrenrsquos names arenrsquot listed on

the invitation donrsquot show up to the wed-

ding as a family

ldquoA gentle way to deal with this situation

is to have the family table off to the side

or back of the reception areardquo says author

and etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore

who is also the founder of The ProtocolSchool of Palm Beach

Another option The bride and groom

might provide guests who have children

the ldquoname of a reputable baby sitter in

your area who is willing to accommodate

parents who want to attend the weddingrdquo

suggests Whitmore

What to wearWeddings tend to be dressy events but

exactly how dressyIf the invitation says ldquoblack tierdquo wear a

tuxedo

Otherwise ldquoa man should wear a suit

and a woman should wear a cocktail dress

or Sunday bestrdquo says wedding planner

Fran Plodkowski of Social Graces noting

beach weddings can be more casualldquoRemember it is a weddingrdquo says Plod-

kowski ldquoLook your bestrdquo

Gift guideGiving a wedding gift is customary but do

you give a gift off the couplersquos registry or

write a check If so how much to give

Therersquos no 983142ixed answer here

ldquoPeople do not know how much to giverdquo

says Plodkowski who advises guests to

give what they want to and can afford

Still you donrsquot have to give a gift of equal value to the price of the dinner especially

since many weddings are big budget

Typically the closer guests are to the

bride and groom the more theyrsquoll give For

example the groomrsquos sister would give a

larger gift than his co-worker would

Time mattersGuests often mistakenly assume weddings

donrsquot start on time

ldquoAs a result we see guests that purpose-fully arrive laterdquo says Camille McLamb

founder and lead coordinator at Camille

Victoria Weddings noting ceremony and

reception schedules are 983142ixed to accom-

modate parties and events throughout

the day

ldquoGuests should plan to arrive at least10 minutes before the start time listed on

the invitationrdquo urges McLamb ldquoIf a guest

ends up arriving late she should try to

check if the bridal party is lined up before

going inside If the bridal party is lined up

and about to go down the aisle the guest

should wait off to the side until the pro-

cessional is over and then sneak in up a

side aislerdquo

Remember yoursquore not

the photographerSure itrsquos exciting to capture the wedding in

photos but remember yoursquore a guest not

a photographer on assignment

ldquoDonrsquot photobomb the vowsrdquo says eti-

quette expert Cheryl Seidel ldquoRemember

therersquos probably a professional photogra-

pher somewhere behind you trying to do

the job the couple has hired him to dordquo

Seidel also reminds guests to not block

people behind them instead sit in the

back or on the far aisle Also donrsquot use aniPad to shoot photos ldquoTherersquos no way you

can be inconspicuousrdquo she says

Whatrsquos for dinnerEven if the reception venue is a restaurant itrsquos not OK

for guests to order whatever they want Thatrsquos because

the menu is preordered and paid for by the bride and

groom Even vegetarian vegan or specialty-diet meals

are ordered ahead of time

Guests with special dietary needs such as gluten

and groom at the time of RSVP

HELPERS TASKERS

AND OTHER PARTY FIXERSShould you hire online help for your big day

Kristen Castillo x

W edding planning is 983142illed

with details large and small

Finding help isnrsquot always

easy but itrsquos necessary

Need help planning your engagement

party Want assistance assembling your welcome bags Loo king for som eon e

with nice penmanship to write out your

place cards

It used to be that yoursquod have to do these

jobs yourself ask friends or family or hire

an event professional So what should you

do when yoursquore overwhelmed and family

and friends arenrsquot available Nowadays

you can go online to hire helpers to get the

job done

Thatrsquos what happened for a couplersquos

wedding in Los Angeles The groom sur-

prised his bride during the reception with

her favorite New England treat Hoodsie

Cups which are paper cups 983142illed with

a mix of both chocolate and vanilla ice

cream But 983142irst the groom had to 983142igure

out how to get the frozen dessert to the

West Coast for his bride who is originally

from New England He hired a ldquoTaskerrdquo

via TaskRabbit the leading on-demand

home services app connecting busy peo-

ple with a network of Taskers in theirarea mdash or in this case someone from the

Northeast who could buy and overnight

ship 150 ice-cream cups in an industrial

strength cooler

The groom tells TaskRabbit that making

the Hoodsie Cups surprise happen was

ldquode983142initely a memory the both of us will

have for the rest of our livesrdquo and he says

that without the Taskerrsquos help he doesnrsquot

think he could have made it happen

Help for hireMany couples are hiring helpers to assist

with pre-wedding prep including every-

thing from envelope calligraphy to deco-

rating the venue to DJrsquoing or baking the

wedding cake

Some brides and grooms solicit the help

online with ads on Craigslist or v ia social

media posts asking for help with certain

wedding tasks S ites like TaskRabbit are

growing too

ldquoTaskers helping with weddings has become a big thing in the past two yearsrdquo

says Jamie Viggiano TaskRabbitrsquos VP of

marketing citing examples like helping

to plan a surprise engagement by deco-

rating an apartment with hundreds of

rose petals and LED candles deliver-

ing a wedding cake in Washington DC

and helping assemble and deliver flower

arrangements

Additional wedding tasks completed

include picking up and delivering last-

minute items like ice batteries and coffee

sorting scanning and uploading photos

for a wedding slideshow and setting up

wedding FaceTime sessions between the

couple and their loved ones who couldnrsquot

attend the ceremony in person ldquoThis has

been done a number of times with older

clients who arenrsquot savvy with technolo983143yrdquo

says Viggiano

PricingPaying for wedding help a la carte seems

to be a 983142it for couples who canrsquot afford or

donrsquot want to hire professional weddingcoordinators Some brides and grooms

list the project budget in their social media

and Craigslist posts others take bids from

anyone who responds to the ads

On TaskRabbit Taskers set their own

hourly rate by category When clients

post a task TaskRabbit provides a list of

several candidates in the area and the

individualrsquos skills The client pays once

the task is 983142inished

ldquoBrides and grooms are recognizing that

they donrsquot need to do all the wedding prep

on their own and that they can outsource

some of the more mundane tedious tasks

to quali983142ied peoplerdquo says Viggiano noting

that outsourcing the work ldquomakes a stress-

ful situation less stressfulrdquo

Buyer bewareSome wedding experts caution brides and

grooms that hiring a stranger to assist with

wedding details might not be a good idea

The reason Typically the helper is inex-

perienced with weddings and might not be

accountableldquoUnless you are a really laid-back bride

I would not recommend hiring helpers in

this wayrdquo says Michelle Balducci-Connelly

of Michelle Marie Photographie ldquoCraigslist

workers have little to no repercussions if

they donrsquot perform A professional will

have a reputation to uphold and has an

incentive to perform well because they are

making a career out of their servicerdquo

Still she understands the appeal of hir-

ing wedding helpers

ldquoWith ever-increasing costs of wed-

dings my couples are always looking to

save in areas they deem appropriaterdquo

says Balducci-Connelly noting that hiring

a day-of planner for example would cost

anywhere from $500 to $1000 for recep-

tion setup and organization compared to

a hired helper who would likely charge

an hourly or flat rate ldquothat would be far

less than a day-of coordinator would

chargerdquo

Before hiring anyone to help with your

event get references if possible and

make sure yoursquore comfortable with theirskills reliability and overall credibility

You only get one chance to make your

wedding day a success so be con983142ident in

your hiring decisions

Dress trendsLooking your best on the big day Julia Price x

W eddings are a big deal All

the planning coordinating

decision-making letdowns

stressful situations mdash they

all fade away and become worth it the

moment the bride walks down the aisle

So of course no pressure with picking out

the perfect dress or anything rightBut really itrsquos hard to go wrong nowa-

days Luckily for everyone the lsquo80s have

come and gone and have graciously taken

their wedding dress signature styles with

them

In general wedding dresses are veer-

ing toward a less poofy look and going

toward a sleeker form-983142itting hourglass

shape This creates a more dramatic effect

when the train of the dress 983142ills out behind

the bride while also enhancing feminine

strength in the upper body

Another trend this season is the

off-the-shoulder look Several years ago

the sleeveless dress was a big hit but now

itrsquos been slightly modi983142ied to keep the shoul-

ders bare with the straps lightly hanging off

Whether the dress is white silk Chantilly

lace or ballgown-style this off-the-shoul-

der appeal creates a delicate look

The popular shabby chic furniture trend

seems to have influenced brides-to-be as

well Seeing as many couples are choos-ing the country feel mdash complete with

Mason jars mdash for their big day it makes

sense that women are looking for a dress

to match that vibe Yoursquoll see more and

more dresses with corded details and lace

accents and yoursquoll see less beadwork than

you had on some of the past looks

Also trending this season is embellishing

the back of the dress In addition to adding

a new element of beauty it makes sense

because guests wil l have a close visual of

the bridersquos back as shersquos approaching her

husband-to-be Intricate detailing on the

Trending this season is embellishing the back of the dressCREATORSCOM PHOTO COURTESY OF JULIA PRICE

back might include a crisscross or spar-

kling tulle Some brides are opting for

completely backless dresses This goes well

with layers of lace and the silhouette look

Though itrsquos good to look for many

options online (try bridescom or search for

your perfect look on Pinterest) yoursquove got

to trust your gut with what feels right for

you This is one of those situations where

no matter who else speaks up as long as

yoursquore saying ldquoI dordquo to the dress then

yoursquore going to be happy Creatorscom

Plus-size bridesBridal beauty at any size

Kristen Castillo x

T here is a wedding gown for every

bride but if yoursquore over size 14

it might be a challenge to 983142ind

the perfect dress Luckily thatrsquos

changing Thanks to the TLC television show

ldquoCurvy Bridesrdquo and bridal shops that cater to

plus-size brides itrsquos getting easier for brides

of all sizes to 983142ind their dream dresses

These days the average woman in the

US wears a size 14 and yet bridal gownstraditionally are made for smaller sizes

ldquoPlus-size for us means anyone who

has had trouble 983142inding dresses to 983142it them

elsewhererdquo say Yuneisia Harris and Yukia

Walker owners of full-983142igured bridal salon

Curvaceous Couture and stars of ldquoCurvy

Bridesrdquo

Walker knows how frustrating it can

be for plus-sized brides to 983142ind a gown

After getting engaged she struggled to

983142ind sample gowns and ultimately didnrsquot

like the dress she chose Out of that expe-

rience she and her sister started their

company

The sisters explain that in evenin983143wear

and in bridal everything is cut smaller

ldquoSo while a person might have a smaller

street size like a 12 or a 14 in a wedding

gown they might have to order something

as large as a 20rdquo

That means when traditional bridal

salons have sample dresses in sizes 8 to 12ldquotheyrsquore really only servicing brides whose

street size is 4 to 10rdquo say Harris and Walker

Plus-Size PerceptionsThe notion of plus-size bridal fashion car-

ries many misconceptions In some cases

brides arenrsquot aware that plus-sizing exists

in the wedding world because itrsquos typi-

cally underrepresented or not seen at all

Often plus-size brides end up buying

wedding gowns online mdash one of the few

places with larger sizes

Still others assume dresses in larger

sizes should be plain and not embellished

ldquothat plus-size women donrsquot desire the

same beautiful dresses and fabrics as theirstraight-size counterpartsrdquo says Erena

Shklovsky creative director and head

designer for plus-size designer IGIGI not-

ing that many plus-size brides want ldquodeli-

cate beading luxe fabrics and innovative

cuts just like other bridesrdquo

Another misconception That being

plus-sized means you need to cover up

ldquoIrsquod say that 60 percent of our brides ini-

tially ask us to add a sleeve or a shawl to

a dress because theyrsquore afraid of showing

their arms or backrdquo say Harris and Walkernoting that adding a sleeve or a strap for

example ldquois not the most flattering choice

for a briderdquo

In other cases gowns with straps

sleeves and extra fabric can make a bride

look matronly

ldquoWe just want our brides to be happy

with their dresses and sometimes that

means helping them embrace their natu-

ral beautyrdquo say Harris and Walker who

feel viewers like the show because it allows

them to see brides they relate to try on and

look great in gorgeous gowns

Fashionable Choices

Designing full-983142igured fashions involvesmore than simply adding extra fabric

Because every bride has a different size

and body shape gowns need specialized

983142its including built-in support for large

busts for example

More fashion lines and bridal lines are

starting to embrace women of all sizes

Harris and Walker praise designers like Roz

la Kelin and Enzoani for being some of the

983142irst designers to offer plus-size samples

ldquoI think the biggest and best addition

to plus-size bridal collections is ChristianSirianorsquos dress for Nicolette Masonrdquo says

Shklovsky ldquoIt showed the rest of the fash-

ion world that plus-sized women deserve

more than to be covered with loads and

loads of fabricrdquo

Still no wedding gown is truly ready-to-

wear All dresses need alterations including

changes to hemlines bust lines waistlines

sleeves and shoulder straps No matter

what the dress size a perfect 983142it is flattering

DIY all-in-one or party rental suppliers Chelle Cordero x

Itrsquos your wedding day and there areso many plans to be made You want

the day to be spectacular Between

budgets traditions choosing a loca-

tion considering the time of year and

weather and most importantly your idea

of a dream wedding mdash itrsquos enough to make

your head spin

You may choose an all-in-one venue that

comes with its own gorgeous setting cater-

ing waitstaff tables and chairs and hope

that the cost is within your reach DIY

wedding plans may or may not be moreeconomical but many excited couples opt

for more personalized settings and control

over the way things are done One thing is

for sure You probably donrsquot own enough

chairs tables and service to make it hap-

pen without help

You could always buy the folding chairs

and tables linens and glassware for your

event but then you need a place to store

everything before and after the party

Owning everything makes you solely respon-

sible for cleaning and ironing linens polish-

ing service and washing all of the dishware before and after use (especially if itrsquos been

sitting awhile) It is often more ef983142icient to

simply rent what you need for each occasion

if you plan to throw several parties

Letrsquos go rental

Every bride in your family before

you was married in Aunt Franrsquos parlor

and thatrsquos the beginning yoursquove always

dreamed of with a reception in the back-

yard But then you remember the light rain

shower during your cousinrsquos gala and how

it chased everyone away Yoursquoll need seat-ing and decorations for inside and yoursquoll

want to add a tent to the tables chairs and

buffet setting outside Or maybe the old

barn could be gussied up for a fancy do

but the dirt floor leaves a lot to be desired

especially when it comes to dancing -- but

thatrsquos not a problem if you add a rented

dance floor (or more)

Party rental companies offer everything

from aisle covers to wine glasses Choose

table linens centerpieces pole covers (to

hide tent supports) dance floors of various

sizes stages and more If you are worriedabout the weather 983142ind tents for outdoor

parties they come with sides or open with

options for fans or heaters for comfort

Serve delicious meals with gas or charcoal

grill rentals and buffet-style cha983142ing dishes

There is no limit to what you can do Paper

plates are great for picnics but if you pre-

fer restaurant-style service 983142ind china

charger plates silver service goblets and

flutes and linen napkins and tablecloths

Check out the party supply rental com-

panies in your area to 983142ind out what theyoffer and compare prices Make sure to

include delivery costs as well as delivery

terms such as how far in advance they will

deliver and when they will pick up after the

affair Visit the showrooms to see the qual-

ity of merchandise they offer By all means

get recommendations and warnings from

other consumers you certainly donrsquot want

to 983142ind out on the day of the party that the

tablecloths are stained or that you were

shorted on the glassware Ask about their

reputation for reliability their willingness

to work with you and whether there is an

extra charge for setup Also 983142ind out in what

condition the items have to be returned

mdash eg do the dishes need to be washedor simply scraped do the linens need to

be laundered and what are the costs for

breakage If possible compare the prices

quality service and reputations of a few

companies before making a 983142inal decision

Some party rental suppliers will work

with area vendors such as caterers and

wait staff to help you 983142ind a complete

package for your magical day Make an

appointment to sit down with your cho-

sen rental company and explain your

vision to them A party planner can makehelpful suggestions based on the compa-

nyrsquos experience with previous weddings

and parties They can tell you how many

plates glasses and flatware sets to rent

based on the number of people invited

always order a few extra pieces in case of

breakage or unexpected guests Read the

contract carefully to verify that all dates

quantities and service details are spelled

out correctly Creatorscom

Le menu du jour

New trends in menu cards Sharon Naylor x

W hen printed menu cards

983142irst showed up as wed-

ding table additions guests

loved reading those delec-

table descriptions of the courses to come

during the dinner There was at 983142irst one

printed card per round table then four

or so spaced apart on long tables Guests

took turns looking at the elegantly printedcards with the dazzling print script Soon

individual menu cards were placed on

each guestrsquos plate for easier use and now

those individual menu cards are being per-

sonalized to each guest

ldquoYour tablescape offers countless oppor-

tunities to wow guests with custom details

and personalized menu cards are func-

tional and beautiful while making guests

feel like an important part of your big dayrdquo

says Vanessa Wicks event sales director at

Weylin B Seymourrsquos a historic event venue

in Brooklyn that has been the site of celeb-

rity weddings and events

When guests arrive at their tables they

983142ind their names printed on the menu

cards showing that you value their pres-

ence on their big day And the artistry of

their name handwritten in calligraphy

complements the loveliness of your wed-

ding design Yoursquove taken great care withthe smallest of details elevating your wed-

ding as a whole

Another advantage of customized menu

cards is the ability to tailor guestsrsquo special

menu requirements such as a gluten-free

vegan or kosher meal When guests see

their menu card they know right away

that yoursquove heard and honored their

requests They donrsquot need to be anxious

about their special meals

To help you create your personalized

menu cards keep the following tips in

mind

bull Spell names correctly Triple-check

your invitations list looking at guestsrsquosocial media pages for backup to be sure

each guestrsquos name is spelled correctly It

would be an awful faux pas if you created

a card for ldquoJohnrdquo when he goes by ldquoJonrdquo

bull Plan for dim lighting Your recep -

tion ballroom may be dimly lit illumi-

nated by candles and that low light can

make light-colored print dif983142icult to read

Larger script in a good contrasting shade

makes your menu card easier to see Not

all guests bring their reading glasses with

them Metallic print will capture candle-light so consider shimmery lettering

bull Create personalized menu cards for

children as well Theirs can be designed

differently than adult guestsrsquo cards using

kid-themed colors and motifs Add a print

game to the back of the card to provide a

fun activity

bull Add an accent to the back of guestsrsquo

menu cards A personalized note from you

may be extra work but it goes a long way

to making your guests feel like VIPs Or if

a personalized message isnrsquot realistic for

your time and budget print an inspiring

and romantic or a foodie-themed quote

on the back of each cardbull Ask your chef to help Make your menu

card mouth-watering with chef-provided

dish descriptions of each course

bull Include drink pairing choices with

each course Again your chef or bar man-

ager can provide pairing ideas using vin-

tages and cocktails that will be served at

your wedding

You might be wondering whether per-

sonalized menu cards at each guestrsquos

seat will tell each guest where to sit at

the table While guests are free to switchseats it is a good idea to put your guest

menu cards in order by table so that

staffers handling your weddingrsquos table

setups can place cards in the order you

prefer seating spouses and families next

to each other
