Choosing A bridal Hairstyle

As a bride, you want everything to be perfect on your wedding day: the chapel, the flowers, the dress, the cake and, most importantly, the beauty asset that frames your face: your hairstyle.

If anything goes wrong on the “big day,” either it won’t matter or you’ll forget about it later. But if you have a bad bridal hairstyle, your wedding photos will serve as a rude reminder—till death do you part.

Most brides entrust their bridal hairstyles to an experienced salon… Continue

Wedding Invitations-How Many Do I Order? Advice For Brides

I realized while talking to a bride one afternoon ,how important this question is. A really lovely bride brought her very helpful matron of honor with her to our consultation.When the bride had made all of the selections and we had customized her invitation ensemble ,we came to this very question of how many invitations she needed."At least 350! " she answered. At this point I asked a few questions and reminded her that she did not need one invitation per invited guest, but more likely only one… Continue

A bride’s despair. What do you do if white or ivory doesn’t suit you?

I posted this a few days ago on my blog but wasn't a member then so thought might be of interest.

"You’d be surprised how many of us there are. We spend our entire lives waiting for the moment we’re proposed to, so we can run around frantically with our best friends in the local bridal boutiques trying on dresses, swooning and cooing and excitedly exclaiming “I feel like a princess!”. But imagine your despair if you’re faced with the problem that I was back in early 2007 as I… Continue

February 2, 2010 Vanity Fare Caterers Wedding Tip

Unless the bride and groom are paying for everything themselves, then who pays for what is a delicate but necessary conversation which has to take place. Traditionally, the bride’s parents pay for the entire wedding reception while the groom’s parents pay for the rehearsal dinner. These days, it is not unusual for families to share expenses. It is important to remain realistic with your budget and allow anyone who is contributing financially to have a fair say. As a general guideline, the Bride… Continue

Why Your DJ Shouldn't Be Standing Still

You might think that a DJ's place at a reception is always behind the table where his equipment is set up.

Most of the time, that's where the DJ should be.

But not ALL the time.

First, there is no way the DJ can ensure the music sounds just right -- not too loud and not too soft -- from behind his table. He needs to occasionally walk the room and check out the sound from where the guests are. Believe me, things sound much different in front of the speakers than… Continue

Took fliers to area businesses today!
