Economy – We have all heard the economic benefits predicting millions of dollars brought into the state of Illinois from the wedding business, but still our legislature can’t help us balance the budget – And personally in my business hosting the wedding and reception in my home, it would effect everyone in my community – the butcher, the baker and the candle stick maker, down to the grocery store attendant bagging my groceries for the party. I will say this now and I will say this again ‘this is beyond a moral issue’ its just common scenes. Gay marriage is good for everyone in Illinois.

Kent’s busiest wedding planner reveals Top Wedding Tips

Leave a comment

You’re a fiancée! The man of your dreams has taken the plunge, you have a gorgeous sparkler of a ring and he wants to marry you! The honeymoon period has well & truly kicked in & dreams are about to come true. Then the planning fear arrives as the spider web of preparing for the wedding of the year actually becomes a reality. Not only do you need to think about both the necessities and those luxurious extra’s you may wish to have to personalise your day, but there’s a hundred companies all claiming to be the best in town for every service that you could imagine. Wedding fairs seem to make it worse as you peruse aisles of cakes, flowers, suits, photographers…each offering a better deal than the previous. Magazines bamboozle you with nationwide companies that bring you innovative, new and unique ideas.

“Where do I start?” You ask as panic sets it….

Stop! Put the magazines & goodie bags brimming with fliers, cards and special offers down. Breathe…….

Remember your day is exactly that. Wedding planning does not need to be stressful – it should be an enjoyable build up to your big day.

Your Budget

Assuming you have not planned a wedding before, this task can seem daunting. It’s easy to get carried away looking at all the options and sometimes there’s just too much choice! The ideas are flowing and the excitement is reaching fever pitch as you discover endless possibilities of loveliness and joyous wonder. Try to narrow down between yourself and your partner what your hopes, likes and priorities are for your big day because as always there’s a baddie to every fairy tale and in this story it’s the BUDGET! Unfortunately the Big Bad Budget rears his ugly head in many inappropriate places and it will seem incredibly difficult to budget when you have no idea of how much everything costs. We advise you to collect at least 3 quotes for each item that you are thinking of hiring or buying to seek the best value for money and where possible avoid saying you need it for a wedding as the “W” word means mega-bucks! Maybe chat to your venue at this point to see if they have recommended suppliers that may do offers in conjunction with the venue, but do remember, if you have a limit to stick to don’t be afraid to haggle and pull in favours where you can. So Auntie Brenda’s a dab hand at cake baking….voila, cake sorted!

So, what next?

Decide between yourselves do you like modern or classic, a sit down meal or buffet, indoors or out, flamboyant or quaint. From this you will have an idea of key things to look for in a venue. Also draw up a preliminary list of guests so that you have a guest number to work with. This all sounds very sensible but it is also very necessary. You can then splurge your time on the fun parts; picking out a shortlist of venues and visiting them, brainstorming themes, colours, things to include, joining wedding forums to get opinions and ideas and chatting to your venue for ideas of what works well in their space.

There are countless blogs and articles that can offer advice of wedding ideas so it may be worth perusing these however in some circumstances it can be much less stressful to leave it to the professionals! Ensure you have checked with your venue to see if they offer a set up service so that you can concentrate solely on yourself on the morning of your big day. Also check to see if they will book your Registrars for you and offer various planning meetings and tastings to make your journey stress free!

Seating your loved ones

Some of the more interesting experiences you may have to contend with are the wonders of family politics which leads swiftly onto where to seat everyone. It may take you several attempts to work out how this is going to please all your guests, resulting in some people being sat outside, however the most important thing to remember is this is your day! Try not to let guests dictate to you who they want to sit with and do not be afraid to put guests where YOU want them to be. Some Brides like to encourage friends and family to mix so purposely put strangers together. This can bode well for the evening as everyone parties together in a slightly worse state! Other Brides feel that it is important to have family closer or all their important key guests on the top table with them. If there are too many split family members to factor in, the simplest answer is to have a romantic top table for two!

What to say?

As a wife to be, one of your duties may be to calm the nerves of your jittery Groom before his big speech. Traditionally he won’t have the pressure that’s carried by the Best man to tell all, but lend him an understanding ear & advise him the following;

Write from the heart about how you met and how pleased he is to be standing there with you by his side. If he is very nervous, seek advice from the Duty Manager or Toastmaster as they speak to the crowds more often and every venue’s sound system and acoustics differ. Encourage him to enjoy it and speak clearly and slowly. Write the speech down but do not read from it on the day – Practice, practice, practice so he is familiar with its flow & appropriate pauses for gags! But most importantly email a copy to himself, an Usher (NOT the Bestman……too easy to give him a heads up on how to annihilate your Groom later in his speech!) and even your venue so that he cannot lose it! I can assure you that a lost speech will send his stress levels over the top!

Can I book the Weather?

So, you have a beautiful venue, an array of gorgeous decorations and the finest food and drink. You have booked a top Photographer, Videographer, musician and classic car……there’s only one thing that could possibly trouble you now. The Great British Weather! Unfortunately there’s very little that can be said for this as it’s as unpredictable as a two year old in the “speak now or forever hold your peace” part of the ceremony, however you can certainly make the best of it and prepare for any weather. Some say there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather, Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up and snow is exhilarating. Just don’t pin your hopes on radiant sunshine, instead factor in cute wraps for your Bridesmaids, comical wellies and umbrella’s for you and your groom, maybe even a rubber duck to add to the photo’s! The more humour that you can bring to your day, the more you will relax and remember it for all the right reasons. I have met many a Bride that knows their local weather station worker on first name terms after calling every day for a month in the run up to their wedding and it really cannot change the weather on the day! You may also wish to discuss with your venue what they can do in the event of bad weather and where guests would go if they cannot get outside. After all they must have had a rainy day before now!

Gift giving etiquette

Arguable one of the more fun sides to your wedding planning is deciding what gifts to ask for on your big day. If you and your hubby-to-be have already set up house together, another toaster, sandwich maker or George Foreman Grill may not be so warmly received. It has been highly recommended to me to set aside a day to take a trip around your local John Lewis scanning favourable items and creating a desirable wedding list to put in your invites, after all it’s not often we feel a tagine or nest of coffee tables is an important and necessary purchase. The alternative of course, is to request Honeymoon donations that will help you fly off into the sunset together instead of jumping on a donkey in Blackpool . This is becoming much more common and a witty ditty in the invitations is all that is needed.

“We are sending out this invitation
In hope you will join our celebration
But if a gift is your intention
May we take this opportunity to mention
We have already got a kettle and toaster
crockery, dinner mats and matching coaster’s.
So rather than something we’ve already got
We would appreciate money for our honeymoon pot
But most importantly we request
That you come to our wedding as our guest.”

Mr & Mrs!

Before I draw conclusion on tips to “Keep calm & plan your stress free wedding” there is one very important item to remind all excited Brides to be. Choose your married name and practice your signature! This all sounds very obvious but really is the most exciting thing! Will you keep your maiden name, double-barrel yourselves to be the next Middleton-Windsor’s or simply immerse yourself in the glory of becoming Mrs Windsor. Then create a master piece of a brand new signature that you take pride in and allows a small smile to escape every time you sign it! You’re a MRS!!!!!!

Beauty Call Welcomes Berkshire and Oxfordshire Franchisee Takeover

Leave a comment

The UK-based wedding hair and makeup agency is proud to announce that one of its popular franchisees will be relocating to a new region in 2013.

Brides in Reading, Berkshire and Oxfordshire will soon be able to book highly experienced beauty specialist Kim Laney to help them prepare their hair and makeup on the day of their wedding.

Kim has been transforming nervous brides-to-be in the South East of England on behalf of the Beauty Call franchise for some time and has picked up hundreds of appointments in the Portsmouth, Southampton and Bournemouth postcodes. She originally trained with prestigious makeup college Brushstrokes before turning her hand to numerous TV and film projects with FilmFour and working to help produce ads with designer clothing powerhouse Levi’s.

It has recently been announced that Kim is to move a little further north to take over long-standing franchisee Danielle, who has decided to move to Australia to pursue further career opportunities.

The company’s Marketing Director is sad to see such a talented member of the team leave his books but wishes Danielle the very best of luck for the future.

“We have developed great relationships with our franchisees and can safely say that Danielle will be very much missed. We would like to take the opportunity to thank her for all her hard work during her time with Beauty Call,” he says. “She raised a great deal of awareness of our company in the local area and has always been highly praised by her large client base, so we’re sure she’ll be a blinding success down under too.

“Though we’re sad to see Danielle leave, we’re more than happy to hand over the reins to Kim, who already comes highly recommended by her previous clients on the South Coast,” he adds.

For images, customer testimonials and general information on any of the franchisees currently working on behalf of Beauty Call in the UK, please visit the company’s ‘Artists’ page. Those interested in learning more about becoming a franchisee for the agency are encouraged to email the team directly.

Beauty Call delivers wedding make up and bridal hair in Hertfordshire, Essex, London and across the UK. The company employs a wide network of freelancers that service hundreds of towns and cities up and down the country.

Surrey Wedding Photographers Update Website

Leave a comment

Surrey based wedding photographers Matt and Brenda Foden have just launched an updated website with a brand new design, in keeping with the current trend for vintage style weddings.

The site, which has been rebranded to the new name Foden Photography, features a simple yet ‘warm’ design. According to co-owner, Matt Foden, ‘We wanted our new site to reflect the current trend for vintage weddings. Hence, whilst the site has a simple layout and navigational structure, it also has a very ‘cosy’ and ‘warm’ feel to it, as you can see from the textured background, and vintage font. We decided to make the change based on feedback from many customers that so many sites that they visited were ‘cold’ and ‘sterile’. For us, it’s really important to convey the warmth and personality of our brand identity, and this new site really achieves this. We are delighted with the outcome.’

Matt and his wife Brenda have also taken the opportunity to change the name of their business from ‘Matt Foden Photography’ to ‘Foden Photography’. According to Matt,‘When I started the business, 4 years ago, I shot weddings on my own. But for the last 2 years Brenda has shot with me, and has been an integral part of the business. We simply had to change the name of our business to reflect this.’

DIY Budget Weddings: Rent Your Own Wedding Decor — Specialty Linen & Tablecloth Rentals +more

Leave a comment

When planning a wedding, couples have to decide what is most important to them in terms of spending money and time. Surveys noted that wedding rings, wedding dress, the tuxedo, the wedding planner, the florals and the decor are listed as some of the most important parts of any couple’s wedding. Wedding rings and wedding attire is definitely a crucial part of any wedding, however just how important is it to have a quality wedding planner and stunning wedding decor? Shushil Patel, an event decor designer and owner of Elegant Chairs and Linens, can attest to how important it is to have a top notch wedding planner and wedding decor designer. “For someone who has been in the wedding industry for over 8 years, my favorite part of the job is seeing the reaction of each bride as they enter into a beautifully decorated room”.

Shushil, the owner of a speciality linen and wedding tablecloth rental company says that not everyone hires a wedding planner or a wedding decorator to take care of their wedding. Some prefer to plan and decorate their own wedding to save some money, while some prefer to spend the extra money for something more luxurious and elegant. However, not having a wedding planner or decorator does not mean you can’t have a beautiful wedding. Many couples who are trying to save some money without compromising quality are deciding to take the place of a wedding planner or wedding decorator. Elegant Chairs and Linens features some of the most beautiful chiavari chairs inAtlanta. He believes a key component to a beautiful wedding is having beautiful raw materials to work with. More newlyweds are deciding to throw a DIY wedding. They are doing their own research, doing their own comparisons, planning their own wedding, renting silver and gold charger plates, wedding chairs to decorate their own wedding.

Gandhi Hurwitz Plans New National Bridal Directory

Baltimore videographer Gandhi Hurwitz noticed that most of his calls for shooting wedding videos were coming in between 11a.m. and 2p.m. each day. An astute observer of industry trends, Hurwitz tracked this one to its source. It turns out more and more brides are planning their weddings online at work, a trend that coincides with the advent of high-speed Internet. Hurwitz, who has been shooting wedding videos since 1989, has parlayed his keen eye and thorough knowledge of the business into a cutting edge, deeply interactive online community for both brides and wedding professionals.

thebridalguides.com

A tech-savvy, nimble newcomer to the online bridal industry, Hurwitz offers state-of-the-art streaming video uploads to users of his new website, TheBridalGuides. This and other unique, user-friendly services created by Hurwitz’s webmaster, Larry “Fresh” Scott, are reinventing the business model for bridal Bigfoots such as The Knot and Wedding Channel. A bride-to-be can browse thousands of local and national vendors and print online coupons from Hurwitz’s site, all without logging in. With a few clicks, she can register on the site for free and build her own personalized wedding website which her guests can interactively visit. The Bridalguides.com. 

Using the site’s unique BridalTV streaming video, the bride and her fiancé can upload personalized video invitations to their guests. Later, guests can watch the wedding videos online — including video clips uploaded from their own Bluetooth cell phones. (Click on “BridalTV” on Hurwitz’s homepage, TheBridalGuides.com , and watch Will Smith singing at a private wedding shot by Hurwitz’s associate, Visions Unlimited of Baltimore.)

Other click-to-use features include an interactive photo gallery, online RSVP and guest book (guests can leave messages here), gift registry, maps, hotels and city details. The bride can use the site’s ePlanner tools, read articles, and chat in bridal forums. Best of all — the bride and her guests pay nothing for these services.

Where brides go, vendors follow. Having himself been frustrated by the limited interactivity of other bridal websites — having to call an 800 number and play endless phone tag to changes ad postings, for example — Hurwitz says he has tried to create a site he as a wedding professional would want to use. By pricing his vendor services at less than half the cost of higher profile bridal sites, he has made his site “a lot more user-friendly for a lot less money”.

Each vendor has complete, click-to-use control over its personal interactive ad space, including streaming video uploads, photo gallery, unlimited article publishing, coupon generation, and customized search engine placement. All changes can be made online. Vendors can visit the bridal forums as well as vendors’only forums for tech chat.

tBigfoots, look out. Lunch hours aren’t what they used to be for brides-to-be, and the smart money is on TheBridalGuides.com To arrange an interview with Gandhi Hurwitz for more information on this subject contact sale@thebridalguides.com

Mary C. Pugh, Top JP in CT offers same sex marriage upgrade to her civil union couples

Mary C. Pugh, the busiest JP in the state of Connecticut announces her policy of upgrading her past civil union clients to a marriage if they come to Norwalk, CT for the ceremony. Mary was recently seen performing one of the first same sex marriages in CT on ABC, CBS, NBC and the top CT channels, CT 8 and CT12.

The state of CT recently made same sex marriages legal. Same sex couples can now get married in CT. There is NO residency requirement, NO witnesses and a couple from out of state simply needs to come to CT, go to the town clerk’s office where they want to get married, present a photo id and proof of age (driver’s license is accepted), pay $30 and get a marriage license. They need to tell the town clerk who will be the officiant for the ceremony.

CT residents can get their license in the town of the ceremony or the town where either of them are residents. Couples who previously were united via a civil union can upgrade the status of their relationship to a marriage. The current civil union does not have to be dissolved. A same sex marriage can take place in one day; there is no waiting period.

After the ceremony, the officiant signs and dates the license and returns it to the town clerk where the ceremony was held. To obtain legal proof of marriage, the couple should obtain a certified copy of the license from the town clerk – each certified copy is $10.

For new same sex couples Mary offers totally customized vows, music and bubbles, a photo DVD emblazoned with their photo and a mini slideshow of their wedding photos. She wears a robe (select: black, white, purple, or red) and a stole or if the couple prefers, a black suit. Full service includes explaining the process and helping to obtain the license.

Mary C. Pugh is proud to offer a free upgrade to any of her couples who previously had her officiate at their civil union.

Just contact Mary at 203 838 1038 or email her at mary@ct-jp.com. For more information, go to www.ct-jp.com.

About Mary C. Pugh:

Mary, who has her MBA from Columbia University, has completed two terms as a Justice of the Peace and will be accepting a third term which begins in January.

Her 24/7 availability and ability to speak English, Spanish and some French have made her very popular – she performs more ceremonies than any other JP in the state.

Many out of state couples come to Mary as she guides them through the process. She is happy to pick up couples from the train station, take them to town hall for their ceremony and return them to the train station.

For high profile and couples who wish to maintain their privacy, total discretion is assured.
