SET THE STAGE FOR A SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION WITH A
SMART PLAN-OF-ACTION AND A TOUCH OF ORGANIZATION.
ARE YOU READY?
reception 10THE BUDGET
The greatest factor to affect your budget will
be the number of guests you invite. So, even
though youre ready to burst with excitement
over your engagement, keep the wedding
chatter to a minimum until youve set the
budget and know exactly how many guests
you can realistically invite.
WHO PAYS FOR WHAT Will the two of you
be paying for the entire event yourselves, or
will your parents be contributing? As awkward
as it may feel to ask, its important for the
harmony of the family to get a firm answer
of exactly how much each set of parents is
planning to contribute. The days of the brides
parents paying for the majority of the wedding
are long past. So any support offered should
be appreciated.
PARENT CONTRIBUTIONS Before discussing
their contribution, do some research on overall
costs for the wedding youre envisioning. If
theyre lending financial support, its likely
theyll expect to have some input and the right
to invite friends, extended family and business
associates that you would otherwise not invite.
Have an idea of how many guests youre
willing to let them invite (which, realistically,
will be affected by how much theyre able
to contribute). Also have an idea of a few
meetings or decisions youd like them to be
involved in, such as the catering and cake
tastings, viewing invitation options, etc. It
doesnt mean you have to take their opinions
over your own, its simply a way of including
them in the wedding planning process.
AN EVENT PLANNERA common hurdle for brides considering
an event planner is the idea of relinquishing
control. In reality, youre not giving up control
at all. Youre simply enlisting the services of
someone with the organizational skills and
resources to bring your vision to life. They do
the footwork and research that allows you to
make informed, intelligent decisions. Heres a
list of standard services:
An initial face-to-face appointment to review your ideas, expectations and preliminary budget.
Assist in creating a budget.
Make suggestions and research options.
Create an overview that accommodates your tastes, preferences and budget.
Provide a list of recommended service providers (vendors).
Assist with the selection of vendors, should you so desire.
Schedule appointments with the vendors being considered.
Review all contracts.
Develop a detailed timeline for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.
Develop a detailed floor plan.
Stay in communication with the selected vendors.
Confirm timeline several days before the wedding and provide final version to you and all vendors.
Be on-site the day of your wedding to see that all service providers are on time and set-ups are proceeding smoothly and on schedule, and any emergencies are dealt with promptly.

THE GUEST LIST Controlling your guest list will enable you to focus more time, attention and budget to the details that make a wedding so unique: the location, invitations, table dcor, menu selection, music and other elements that are often limited by large guest lists.
Begin by separating your list into two groups: one comprised of friends and family you simply must have at your wedding, and the other comprised of those with whom youd like to have, but whose absence you can accept. On average, about 20 percent of your invitees will be unable to attend. As you begin to receive regrets from the primary list, immediately send invitations to the like to have list.
To reduce the level of discomfort when the topic of your wedding comes up in front of fringe-friends and coworkers not invited to the wedding, exercise a little discretion. Avoid talking about it compulsively and limit the Twitter and Facebook updates. Nobody likes knowing that everyone else is invited to a super cool party except for them. So, be discrete.
SINGLE FRIENDS If a single friend is engaged or in a serious relationship and you know the partner, by all means include them. However, you are not obligated to include an additional guest for a single friend.
CHILDREN If you prefer not to have children at the reception, use the invitation to relay this. Refrain from using the phrase no children. Instead, opt for the more subtle verbiage of, adult only reception. An acceptable compromise is including the children at the ceremony, and providing childcare and a
separate childrens menu for the reception.
INVITATIONS + FAVORSPaper elements are the most effective way to translate your theme throughout the entire
event. Heres a list of paper items to consider:

Reception Cards
Response Cards
Directions and Accommodations Cards

Send your save-the-dates as soon as the venue is booked, especially if your date falls on ornear a holiday or school break. A word of cautionavoid committing yourself until youre sure of how many guests your budget can accommodate. Once your save-the-dates have been sent, youre committed.
Todays favor selections are vast and varied. From themed and scented, to edible and decorative, theyve evolved into much more than a token gift. Enhance a favors value by having it serve a dual role as an element of decor and a departing gift. Let glass votives provide a home for tealights or become miniature vases for flowers, or stage placecards in a stylish, themed holder that guests take at the end of the reception. Another option is to select a wrap or type of packaging that adds some panache to your table dcor. Enclose the favor of your choice in an organza or beaded bag that brings out the color of your dcor, or use a decorative box to lend a bit of architecture to your table.
THE VENUEOnce you have a solid estimate of your guest count, begin the venue search. Choosing a venue is like going house hunting. Having a list of your top wants will save you time. Start
by asking yourself a few questions:
Do you want the ceremony and reception
at the same location?
Are you planning on having a formal sit-
down dinner or buffet?
Will you need space to accommodate a
band or will you have a DJ?
What type of venue are you envisioning-
Historical, ultra modern, by the water, lots
of windows and light, etc.?
Do you want a venue that has overnight
accommodations?
5
Do you want an indoor or outdoor location?
Do you want to bring your own caterer?
Do you want to bring your own liquor?
Do you need an area for child care?
SITE INSPECTION While websites are great
for initial research, plan to do an on-site tour.
If youve hired an event planner, take the tour
together. Take note of the following:
Inspect equipmentgazebos, dance floor, tables, chairs, stemware, glasswareWhat is included in the rental fee? Are there additional costs to consider?
Ask about staffing. Is security staff required?
How many servers will there be per table? Who is the facility coordinator on the day of your wedding?
Ask about same-day bookings. Confirm privacy and separation from other events; adequate parking; and enough time for your service providers to set-up, breakdownand load-out.
Ask when they begin calculating rental time. Is it from the moment your caterer or designers arrive, or the running time of the reception?
Inspect florals, greenery and land-scaping. Love the trailing wisteria? Book your reception when its in full bloom.
Inspect entrances, exits and restrooms. Are they attractive and easy to find?
BOOKING THE SITE Secure your location before hiring all of your service providers. If you have your heart set on a particular venue, then by all means book it 12 to 18 months out. If youre flexible about your venue selection and are open to different options, you can actually
plan a wedding in 4 to 6 months.
CATERINGIf you are in a position to select your own caterer, try to narrow your list to no more than three. When calling each caterer, have as much information ready as possible your wedding date, reception location, time of day, approximate number of guests, and degree of formality and theme, if applicable.
FOODIES UNITE Do you harbor a secret obsession for the Food Network? If so, youre in good company. Couples across the country are releasing their inner-foodie, using both the cocktail party and reception to share their passion for the culinary arts. From Thai to Indian, Italian to Vietnamese, seafood to vegetarian, let your palate inspire. What better way to personalize your day than by sharing your secret love affair with food? The size

and generational span of your guest list will influence selections, so before placing your final order, make sure theres a little something for everyone.
CALCULATING THE COST Caterers charge on a per-person basis according to the menu selection. To determine your food cost, multiply the number of guests by the cost per person. For example, if you have 150 guests and the cost of dinner and beverages is $85 per person, multiply 150 x $85 for a total cost of $12,750. Anticipate an additional 10% for overage, and 15%-20% for gratuity (service charge). Ask for prices inclusive of tax and gratuity.
SEASONAL INGREDIENTS Menu selections that utilize fresh, seasonal ingredients will be more cost effective than choosing exotic or out of season ingredients. Be open to cost saving suggestions by your caterer and be realistic about what your budget can deliver.
TO PRESET OR NOT TO PRESET Many venuesencourage a preset first course. While itsaves time, it can also make your reception look like a charity event. Instead of presetting the salad, consider doing the first dance at the beginning of the reception. Servers can bring out the first course while guests are admiring the results of the fancy dancelessons you convinced your fianc to take.
FINAL GUEST COUNT Typically the final guest count is required one week before the event. This is the minimum number of people/meals for which you will be charged. Most caterers plan on the addition of a few last minute guests and will add these to the final bill.
RENTALSParty rentals cover a variety of items: linens, tableware, chairs, chair covers, tables, dance floors, lounge furniture, vintage furniture, tents, candles, props, theme dcor and more. When contacting a rental company, be ready with
the following information:
What items will be provided by the caterer: glass, flatware, china, buffet linens, etc.
What will be provided by the facility: tables, chairs, bar, linens, arbor, etc.
Your event date, time and location.
Total number of guests attending, including wedding party.
Number of wedding vendors being seated.
A tentative floor plan.
Table and chair requirements of your beverage service and disc jockey.
Food serving style. Buffet stations will need linens for each table and possibly dcor.

CEREMONY RENTALS A great deal of focus is placed on the reception dcor. Not to be overlooked are the elements that literally set the stage for the wedding ceremony. Arbors, columns and pillars, topiaries, candelabras and chuppahs are props and structures readily available through most rental companies.
LINENS Before you decide on colors and theme, visit a rental or linen company. The styles, texture, fabrics, colors and options available are staggering. A single linen can launch a flurry of ideas and imagination.
When tallying the number of linens needed, dont forget the DJ table, back bar, buffet tables and other surfaces that may need a little coverage.
TABLES & CHAIRS In determining the number of tables and chairs needed, confirm possible extras: tables for the back bar, serving stations, DJ, cake and gifts. If your reception site offers an outdoor area, rent a few elevated cocktail tables for guests wholl be slipping outside to smoke or get a breath of fresh air. If theres the chance of extreme heat or rain, reserve umbrellas for the tables. These extras will also affect your linen and floral orders.
CHAIRS & COVERS Old and worn chairs can be an unsightly distraction from an otherwise elegant affair. Easy options for the bad chair dilemma are chair covers and chair rentals. There are a myriad of options. Most rental companies have images of inventory online, so be sure to check-out their websites.
COORDINATING VENDORS A key element tocreating a total look for your reception is good communication between your floral designer and rental company. The linens, florals, and props should complement each other, as well as the room in which your event will take place.
DELIVERY Find out in advance what the delivery, set-up, pick-up and payment policies are. Coordinate with the facility manager to ensure the location will be open when the rental company delivers your order and that someone will be there to direct where items should go. Arrange for someone to monitor your rental items at the end of the event, paying attention to gathering, counting and bagging linens for return.
LIGHTING Nothing can transform a room as dramatically as lighting. It is the most effective tool for creating ambiance and mood, and can be the difference between intimate and institutional or ordinary and extraordinary.

PLANNING
SPECTACULARBR IDE .COM | 37
Professional lighting is a necessity for formal and evening weddings. Fortunately for todays couples, it has become quite affordable and increasingly flexible in accommodating various venues and restrictions. Note: many lighting companies also offer draping and props.
Achieve impact by hiring a professional lighting company. Their ability to subtly draw attention to elements of dcor, throw dramatic silhouettes on walls, and create warmth and romance is worth the investment.
In addition to transforming a venue, lighting can be a cost effective means by which to divert attention from less attractive features of a room.
FLOWERSWhen interviewing a floral designer, look for their use of color, texture, and overall flair. Ask about the rentals they provide, as many have large prop closets filled with arches, chuppahs, and vases of every size, shape, and style.
Once youve selected your designer, the creative process begins. Provide pertinent details at the get-go: your wedding date, time of day, style of wedding, ceremony and reception locations and a general idea of your budget. A good floral designer will suggest the right
blooms to fit your wedding day.
BE PREPARED How do you express what you want when you dont know the names of the flowers you like? Pictures, pictures, pictures. The more examples you show your designer the easier it is for them to meet your expectations.
SEASONAL CONSIDERATIONS For everything there is a season and flowers are no exception. Flowers in bloom during and around the months of your wedding will be more available and less costly than out-of-season selections. Holidays are also a factor. Ever notice how red roses cost more around Valentines Day? Tulips and hyacinths are in high demand at Easter. Christmas creates a premium for poinsettias and holly. Should you choose these seasonal
flowers, factor this into your budget.
TIME-OF-DAY Your florals need to last throughout the day. Some flowers hold up beautifully in the sun; others are better suited for indoors. Your designer can advise you on what flowers remain perky and perfect under the palm trees, and which wilt before the
wedding reception.
CEREMONY FLOWERS Repurpose ceremony flowers for your reception. Using these

items twice helps maximize your budget. Ceremony arrangements are ideal for buffet tables, and aisle flowers can be used to decorate powder rooms, staircases and small
hallway tables.
RECEPTION FLOWERS The venue will greatly
influence your floral design needs. High ceilings
call for bolder, more dramatic arrangements,
while an outdoor venue can be accented with
rustic, potted and flowering blooms.
Not to be overlooked are greenery and plants.
Ficus trees wrapped with twinkling lights and
potted palms add dimension. If the budget
allows, consider adding a few more finishing
touches. Sprinkle petals on serving trays and
weave garlands along buffet stations.
MUSICThere are three major segments for which to
plan your music: the ceremony, cocktail hour,
and the reception.
VENUE RESTRICTION If your ceremony is
at a house of worship, inquire about music
restrictions before booking your musicians.
Likewise with your reception venue. Whether
you intend to have a DJ, band, or both, be sure
to ask about restrictions regarding the volume,
or music duration-especially at outdoor venues
within a residential community, which may
have specific hours for amplified music.
BANDS The band size will depend on your
number of guests. A suggested calculation
for the size youll need is: 3-4 piece band for
up to 100 guests; 5-7 piece band for 100-200
guests; 7-9 piece band for 200-300 guests.
DISC JOCKEYS Couples traditionally engage
disc jockeys for their ability to provide a wide
variety of music. They can play all of your
favorite songs, and because DJs work with
prerecorded music, your entertainment is
continuous, even during breaks.
SONG SELECTIONS Once youve decided on
a DJ, band, or both, provide them with a list of
songs you would, and would not like played,
as well as songs for your first dance, cake
cutting, and other specific moments. Keep in
mind that while you may love jazz or alternative
music, they dont always make great dance
songs. Give your professionals the freedom to
entertain your guests by mixing your personal
requests with a balance of tried and true crowd
pleasers. An experienced entertainer can read
the crowd and keep the party jumping.

THE EMCEE Provide the emcee with an events
schedule. If introductions are to be made,
review the pronunciation of names and relay
each persons relationship to the bride and
groom. To avoid awkward moments, inform
your emcee about family sensitivities so they
can phrase introductions to make everyone
feel comfortable and acknowledged.
THE RECEPTION Your reception will account for the majority of
your budget and planning. Make the most of
both by taking time to orchestrate it. Timing
of key moments should be communicated to
vendors, guests, and your wedding party.
TRANSITION FROM CEREMONY TO RECEPTION
Avoid a large time gap between the ceremony
and reception. Guests arrive at the reception
feeling less than fresh after wearing the same
celebratory clothes all day; those with children
will have to arrange for all-day childcare.
DIRECTING YOUR GUESTS If the ceremony
and reception are at different places, designate
someone to greet and guide your guests to
the cocktail or reception area, or make sure
there is adequate directional signage.
ASSIGNED SEATING If you opt for assigned
seating, provide a copy of the seating chart
to your caterer or event planner so they can
arrange the seating cards in advance. In the
case of open seating, reserve specific tables
for yourselves and the bridal party, as well as
family and honored guests.
TIMELINE Most receptions last about four
hours, and should include the following:
Formal introduction of bride and groom
Seating of guests at their tables
Your first dance
Toasts, to begin as the first course is served
Main course
Dancing
Cake cutting and dessert course
Bouquet and garter toss
Grand finalethe couples departure
MAKE IT YOU!
While the idea of a ceremony and reception
may seem traditional, yours can be completely
unique. Weave your interests, culture, and
passions into your celebration. And, most
importantly, dont sweat the small stuff. Things
happen and plans change. n

Your photographer and cinematographer will
be with you for a large part of your wedding
day. Make it a priority to find professionals
with positive energy and attitudesomeone
you have chemistry with. The more you click
together, the better your photographs and
video will be.
FINDING YOUR PHOTOGRAPHERTempting as it may be to enlist the talents of
an acquaintance who dabbles in photography
dont. Experienced photographers have the
experience, equipment and know-how to
make your photographs sensational. They
understand the different moods created by
proper lighting and posing, and use reliable
techniques and equipment to create quality
images. Not to be overlooked is the fact that
your photographer has but one opportunity to
get it right. There are no second chances.
STYLE Just a few years ago wedding
photography styles could be conveniently
grouped into two categories: traditional and
photojournalistic. Not so, today. As you delve
into the task of finding your lens master, youll
quickly discover a plethora of new styles.
From vibrant enhanced color process to
the milky, washed-out tones of the vintage
process, or even the retro Fuji Instant prints,
photographers are doing more with specialty
filters, lenses and post production software
than ever before. Find a photographer whose
portfolio showcases the style youre drawn to.
LIGHTING Like photographic styles, youll
find that most photographers have specific
strengths and preferences when it comes
to lighting. Some are masters with natural
light, others excel in delivering spectacular
images from indoor and low-light conditions.
Skill is required, regardless. When looking at
portfolios, think about the time of day and
location where youll be getting married. If
your reception is midday, outdoors, but the
images you love in the portfolio are all dark,
moody and shot indoors, you might want
to look a little further for a photographer
whose body of work features a nice volume of
outdoor or natural light images.
EQUIPMENT Some photographers shoot with
film, others have migrated to digital. Is one
better than the other? Not necessarily. Some
photographers prefer the end product film
delivers, while others prefer the convenience
of digital. The most important factor is the
quality of images in the photographers
albums. If you like what you see, and can be
guaranteed the same camera that captured
those images will be capturing yours, dont
worry about what type of equipment or
format. View the work!
BLACK & WHITE Of course youll want to
capture the vivid hues of your centerpieces
and dcor with vibrant, color photos.
However, when it comes to documenting the
emotional, unscripted moments of the day,
black-and-white is in a class all by itself. The
fewer colors your eyes have to process, the
easier it is to focus on the subject matter.
Black-and-white is great for capturing
intimate and sentimental close-ups such as:
mom buttoning the gown, the vows, the kiss
and the first dance. In addition, black-and-
white helps mask skin imperfections because
shades of gray dont record blotchy,
captured
ALL THE DECISIONS YOU MAKE WHEN PLANNING A WEDDING ARE IMPORTANT. FEW, HOWEVER, ARE MORE CRUCIAL, LONG-TERM, THAN
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER AND CINEMATOGRAPHER.

skin irritations. Its also perfect for those
getting ready shots.
TIMING One of the most common planning
mistakes is shortchanging the photographer
on time between the ceremony and reception.
To lessen the pressure consider doing all the
bridal party and bride and groom photos
prior to the ceremony. Your event planner and
photographer can set up a private moment for
the two of you to see each other before the
wedding party joins the show. Rely on your
photographers suggested time allocation.
If you cut it short, dont expect to get all the
images on your wish list.
MUST HAVE SHOTS If you have a large
wedding party or family and want a series
of posed group shots, compile a list of the
persons or families youd like in each shot.
Provide the list to your photographer and
event planner, or the person in charge of
assembling everyone to be photographed.
Nothing holds up a celebration more than
waiting for missing people.
THE COST Most basic packages start at
around $2,800 but can easily reach five to
six times that amount. Expect a range of
prices depending on the skill, experience
and demand for the photographer. Most
packages include an engagement session,
a block-of-time the day of your wedding,
reproduction and post-production for the
wedding album, two parents albums and
enlargements for framing.
If proofs arent included in the package,
and you cant imagine not owning each
and every photo from your wedding, ask if
they can be purchased.
DO-IT-YOURSELF If considering the purchase
of your negatives or raw images on disc
and handling the reproduction yourself, be
prepared to weed through a thousand images,
arrange for photo retouching, find someone to
develop the prints, find and order the album,
and finally construct the album or scrapbook.
Evaluate this option realistically. You dont
want to end up twelve months down the road
with your proofs and negatives disorganized
sitting in a box. Our advide: leave everything
to the professionals.
44 | CAPTURED
ASSISTANTS Most photographers work with
an experienced and professional assistant.
While the photographer concentrates on
lighting and equipment, the assistant is
watching the details; arranging the hem of
your gown, smoothing out wrinkles, etc.
Although hiring a photographer with a
qualified assistant may cost more, its worth
the investment. If a photographer youre
interested in does not work with an assistant,
confirm the images you admired were taken
without additional help.
CEREMONY Ask your photographer to
communicate with your minister, rabbi or
priest, to avoid last-minute situations where
his or her lighting might not be allowed in their
house of worship.
PROOFS With the advent of digital
photography, wedding proofs can now be
viewed and ordered online by not only the
couple, but guests as well. How fabulous is
that? This technically savvy option takes
some pressure off the bride and groom, who
in the past were responsible for gathering
the orders, handling the collection of monies
and delivery of end product. Just one more
thing you can cross of your list.
BOOK IT Secure your photographer eight
to ten months in advance. Provide exact
locations and times for the ceremony and
reception and agree upon a time for pre-
wedding photos such as those with the
bride, bridesmaids and parents as well
as the groom and groomsmen. Although
there are certain prerequisite shots, it still
helps to provide your photographer with
a checklist of these and other shots you
absolutely must have. It is also a good idea
to provide a schedule of events, such as the
arrival, the first dance, cake cutting, etc., so
your photographer is prepared.

FINDING A CINEMATOGRAPHERThe most amazing thing happens the day
of your wedding. Your feet never touch the
ground, you cant stop smiling and by the
following day you cant remember half of what
happened. Its true. Of course theres good
reason for not remembering certain things, like
watching the flower girl inch her way down the
aisle with ring bearer in tow, or catching the
grooms nervous glance as he takes his walk
up the aisle. Simply put, the bride isnt there
for these priceless moments. Shes at the back
of the church on her fathers arm, awaiting
her grand entrance. What better reason could
there possibly be for hiring a cinematographer?
Nothing captures the moment like moving
sight and sound. A professionally composed
wedding video is the best way to experience all
the moments you missed. In addition, it allows
you to share the day in detail with loved ones
unable to join you in your celebration.
Cinematographers arent just cameramen,
theyre storytellers. If you want the story told
right, hire someone whos skilled in capturing
all the emotion and moments of the day,
while also a master storyteller in the editing
bay. A seasoned professional will have the
time, equipment and experience to deliver a
sensational product.
As in most cases, the best in the trade are
hired quickly, so dont procrastinate. Start
reviewing online demos and narrowing your
choices as soon as youve booked your venue.
Ask to view a video that was actually delivered
to a client and shot by the professional you
intend to hire. This allows you to see their style
with material from one wedding, as opposed
to a series of best shots woven into a demo.
Its common for cinematographers, especially
during the peak wedding season, to hire
stringers or tapers. If thats the case, ask to
meet the subcontractor and view their work;
if you like it, hire them. If they cant provide
samples of their work, it might be wise to
request someone else.
EQUIPMENT Most cinematographers offer
detailed information about the types of
cameras and equipment they use. While
camera quality can definitely impact the end
product, your true criteria should be whether
you like their style of taping and editing. If
SPECTACULARBR IDE .COM | 51
CAPTURED
youre happy with the quality of the demo and
confirm that the same type of camera used
for the demo will be used at your wedding,
youre set. If you want your day filmed in HD,
be sure to hire a cinematographer that shoots
in HD. Likewise, If you want the final product
in a format that will play on your iPod or iPad,
ask if its an option.
STYLES & PRICING There are basically two
methods of videotaping: documentary and
cinematic. The documentary is typically a
two hour version with a ten to fifteen minute
highlights piece. Expect to invest anywhere
from $2,500 to $3,500 for this style of video.
Cinematic is usually thirty-five to forty-
five minutes long. It is edited throughout in
much the same way as the highlights piece,
creating an entertaining movie that tells a
story. The shorter and tighter the video, the
more time it takes to edit. This can take up
to fifty (plus) hours to create. The price is
commensurate with the effort, closer to the
$4,000 to $7,500 range.
Fees are impacted not only by the style of
filming and editing, but by the level of service
you contract; the number of cameras used,
assistants and end-product deliverables.
Cinematographers often charge per hour or
per camera, though you can certainly inquire
about a flat fee or package options. Packages
typically include the filming, editing of the
master and delivery on DVD.
TIPS FOR A BETTER VIDEO
Dont chew gum, it looks bad on video
Act natural. Dont duck and avoid, just pretend the camera isnt there.
Walk slowly when going down the aisle so cameramen can get plenty of footage.
Allow your cinematographers to move around. Youll get better footage if theyre not confined to a tripod at the back.
Semi-competitors, your photographer and cinematographer will need to work side-by-side the day of your wedding,
each trying to capture the same moments via different medium. Its a huge plus if they like working together.
Provide a secure place for your vendors to
store their backup equipment. n

THE SALONYou may wonder why bridal salons require an
appointment to try on gowns. Heres the reason
whybridal salons offer a wide selection
of gown styles all in one size. Limiting the
number of dresses to one size per style allows
them to carry a larger selection. Because the
salon has only one gown from each style, they
take special care to keep the dresses in good
condition. For this reason, salon consultants
always assist brides in trying on the gowns.
INFLUENCERSBefore you get your heart set on a gown
you simply cant live without, ask if the
house of worship where youll marry, has any
restrictions. Some will not permit a bride to
show bare shoulders or her back. Its certainly
worth a call to confirm before your first
bridal salon appointment. Another factor is
your reception location and the time of year
and day youll wed. An outdoor, afternoon,
garden wedding calls for a totally different
gown than an evening wedding at the St.
Regis Gallery Ballroom.
THE APPOINTMENTDuring your first appointment try on different
styles, even those you normally wouldnt
choose. Trust your salon consultant to lead
you in the right direction. An experienced
consultant will be invaluable in helping you
select styles that flatter your best features
and camouflage the flaws. Of course that in
no way means you should ignore your own
preferences. Be absolutely forthcoming with
your comfort level and reactions to each gown
you try on. Is the fabric too heavy, the neckline
too low? Dont be afraid to speak up. If an off-
the-shoulder gown has you fidgeting now,
girlfriend, just think of the discomfort on your
wedding day. No, thank you! The absolute
last thing you want to be doing is tugging
self-consciously at your dress all day. Your
wedding day mantra should be, beautiful,
comfortable, confident.
THE TEN SILHOUETTESThere are ten basic silhouettes that make up
almost all wedding gowns, and more than
likely, at least one will be flattering on your
body type. Being well versed in wedding
gown vocabulary is vital. Here are a few key
terms-of-art to get you on your way. And
remember; trust your bridal consultant when
it comes to trying on different styles.
THE BALL GOWN The cut that exemplifies
romance. This silhouette incorporates a natural
or dropped waist, set off with a full skirt. Think
Cinderella, waltzing with your prince at the
reception. Extremely flattering around the
waist. The volume of this dress might overtake
the petite bride but its a good choice for an
average height bride with very romantic taste.
THE A-LINE Flattering to most figures. The
secret? A slim fitting narrow top that skims
the rib cage and hips, extending out in an A
triangle along the body. Look in your closet;
chances are youll find many of your
OF ALL THE PLANS, PREPARATIONS, AND PURCHASES MADE FOR YOUR
WEDDING, NOTHING WILL MORE DRAMATICALLY AFFECT HOW YOU
FEEL ON THAT DAY, THAN YOUR GOWN.

THE 10 SILHOUETTES (CONTINUED)
skirts have an A-line cut. Theres a reason
after all; A-lines add height, minimize curvy
hips, and create an overall slimming profile.
THE BALLERINA Inspired by the costumes
of classical ballet, made of ultrafine fabrics
with a fitted waistline and classic full skirt, this
silhouette can court a formal event while still
being relaxed and easy to move in. Its quite
flattering on medium to tall frames, but tends
to shorten the appearance of petite brides.
THE BUSTLE BACK When seen from the side,
this dress has the S-shaped silhouette that
was so favored by women of the late 19th
century. More recently seen on Hollywoods
red carpet as modern day starlets take a page
from the past.
THE PRINCESS Another favored flattering
cut, cousin to the A-line. The difference?
Seams that run fluidly from the neckline,
through the waist and skimming down the
hips. The princess cut universally slims and
lengthens. Ideal for brides with a petite
figure and small waist.
THE COLUMN OR SHEATH Ah, the timeless
style and sophistication of Audrey Hepburn.
Desire her dresses? Shes all about the sheath.
This is the cut for the sexy yet understated
bride. With its slim profile, strategically placed
darts and seams, the sheath shows your
body without an overwhelming display of
skin. Flattering to the petite, slim, tall or thin
bride. Also flattering for slender but broad
shouldered athletic builds.
THE EMPIRE Elect to be a Queen. Napoleons
Josephine made this style all the rage. Heres
why: the empire waist is a seam that falls right
below the bust, elongating the petite bride
and flattering the smaller busted. It enhances
the waist while flattering the hips. If you have
a long neck and want to wear big jewelry, the
empire is a cut above the rest.
THE SLIP DRESS Do you love the feeling
of your favorite negligee? Now imagine it in
sumptuous silk and skimming your curves
all the way down to your ankles. Ready
for your figure to show? This is the cut for
you. Only 1930s loving, glamour goddesses
need apply.
THE TRUMPET Its somewhat of a hybrid
between the mermaid silhouette and the
modified A-line, but flairs out higher on the
skirt at about mid-thigh.
THE MERMAID This silhouette, contours
the body from chest to knee then flares out
close to the hem. It accentuates your curves,
creating that coveted hour glass shape.
VEIL OR NOTYour dress will most likely have some influence
over what veil or headpiece you ultimately
choose. As for rules, there are none. If you
feel romantic and gorgeous in a veil, wear it.
If you prefer a tiara, you go girl. If you plan
on rockin a fabulous updo and dont want
to cover it up, sprinkle in a little bling with
rhinestone barrettes or pins. Feel like donning
a sassy bird cage veil? Do it. Whats our
wedding day mantra? Thats right..."beautiful,
comfortable, confident."

WHEN TO SHOPRealistically, you should start shopping for
your gown at least six months prior to the
wedding, especially if youre considering a
custom made gown. Allow plenty of time
for alterations.
THE COSTWedding gowns range from $1,000 to
$10,000 or more, plus alterations. Tell your
salon consultant up front what your budget
is so she can direct you towards gowns in
your price range.
While it is only natural to want the best price
possible, keep in mind that the cost not only
covers the material and labor involved in
creating a gown, it also covers the time
invested by your salon consultant. Looking for
your wedding gown can be one of the most
enjoyable aspects of planning a wedding
trying on beautiful gowns, being pampered
and waited on by your own personal
consultant. Push too hard for a lesser price
and you may lose the special service and
attention to detail you would have received
with the original price.
ALTERATIONSThe bridal salon will take measurements
to assist you in ordering the correct gown
size based on the manufacturers size chart.
However, unless youre as fit as a swimsuit
model, expect at least minimal alterations.
Especially if your upper and lower body
proportions are two different sizes. Of
course there are some salons that offer
gown styles to choose from, but custom
make the gown to your body measurements.
In which case, you can check one more item
off your to-do list.
TRUNK SHOWSMost bridal salons carry a few gowns from
each of their select group of designers.
Trunk shows provide the opportunity

for you to see and try on an even larger
selection from these designers. In addition,
its an opportunity to meet the designer, or
representative, in person. Appointments are
highly recommended.
LINGERIE
Once youve selected your gown, ask your
salon consultant for recommendations on
the appropriate lingerie. Make sure these
garments supply the perfect amount of
support and fit. Do you slouch? Discover a
corset with boning. Wearing shimmering silk?
Seamless lingerie is your secret. Heart set
on strapless? A seam-free strapless bustier
or three-quarter-length convertible bra will
do the trick. Bring these items to your dress
fittings. Youll see and feel the difference.
SELECTING BRIDESMAID DRESSES Select a designer whose overall line appeals
to you, and choose a color from their design
palette.
With the designer and color selected, let
your girls choose the style of dress they
feel most flatters their figure. This is a great
option if one of your bridesmaids is pregnant
or if you have a variety of body sizes and
shapes to contend with. Another option is
to select a two-piece ensemble, which
naturally adjusts itself to different body types.
Alterations are often easier when dealing with
just a top, or just a skirt.
HAIR + MAKEUP All eyes will be focused on you, and only
you, as you gracefully make your entrance
up the center aisle. Youll be the object of
one handsome grooms love and adoration,
and the subject of hundreds of photographs.
Not to mention your walk will be captured
on camera via your cinematographer. Are
you just the slightest bit nervous? Dont be!
You may have heard it said before that brides
have a special glow. Well, its true. Combine
that glow with a glamorous touch to your
hair and makeup and looking your absolute,
beautiful best will be easier than you think.
One of the first decision is whether to use a
professional makeup artist, hair stylist, or
