editor’s note > my two cents on the subject

Old, new, borrowed, blue. It’s a tradition that has been around since at least the Victorian era and surprisingly one that remains a part of many brides’ wedding rituals.

Perhaps it’s the singsong rhyme of the poem itself that keeps the tradition so popular, but I like to think it is the connection and reflection implicit in the ritual itself that makes it so timeless. Something old symbolizes the ties that bind—the merging of two families, of past and present. Something new is the newness created by the very union itself as well as the bright hope for the future that such a union brings. Something borrowed is perhaps my favorite as it creates an unforgettable connection with a fortunate friend or family member—hopefully one whose marital longevity will pass on to the borrowing bride. And finally, something blue, a color that has long stood for such virtuous traits as love, purity and fidelity. And let’s not forget the sixpence in the shoe.

Representing good fortune and prosperity, the silver sixpence is traditionally placed in the bride’s left shoe.

Kelly Oden Executive Editor

This year, we felt this timeless custom was the perfect starting point for our annual Pensacola Magazine Weddings fashion shoot. With the help of a fantastically talented and creative team, I think we have produced a visually gorgeous shoot this year. From the Gatsby inspired old to the ultra modern new and from the bohemian borrowed to the vivid blue, the shoot holds inspiration for every bride-to-be. Special thanks to Melissa Wilson Photography, Chloe at Supposey Wedding Florals, Rebecca Taylor at Vivid Artistic Hair Design as well as all of our vendors, models and staff for helping to create such a stunning shoot. We truly hope you enjoy.

As is tradition here at Balling Publishing, we give the cover of our annual Weddings edition of Pensacola Magazine away to a local bride. It’s so much fun to look at all of the submissions and so very hard to choose just one winner. This year, we fell in love with the all-American charm of bride Brooke Barnes. We loved Brooke’s joyful smile and natural look as well as the vintage accessories used as props in her photograph.

Local photographer Barrett McClean of Barrett McClean Photography did an excellent job of capturing the essence of a happy bride. We hope you like our pick!

COVER ENTRIES

Each year, Pensacola Magazine asks local brides to submit their wedding photos for our cover contest. Pensacola is home to so many beautiful brides, and although all the entries were lovely, we fell in love with Brooke Barnes. We hope you like it too. If you are getting married this year, don’t forget to submit your photo. You could be on the cover of Pensacola Magazine Weddings in 2015.

About Our Cover Winner Photo by Barrett McClean Brooke and Wes Barnes Brooke Newby and Wes Barnes met in July 2007 while both volunteering at a camp for children with special needs. Their first date was the day after camp ended that year and Brooke says they’ve returned to work with the camp, which will always be a special place for them, every year since then. The surprise proposal took place in Jamaica after the couple went on an exciting trek to the top of a waterfall. Brooke says the engagement was fun and easy because Wes let her do whatever she wanted, but they worked together to make the wedding very personal. Held at 5 Eleven Palafox with style and organizational help from Megan K. Events and Hemstitch Vintage Rentals, Brooke says the day’s foremost style was romantic.

Afterward, the happy couple took a honeymoon cruise to the Bahamas, San Juan, and St. Martean, and a favorite adventure was renting a small motorboat and exploring the island of St. Martean together.

Since then, Brooke says they’ve mostly enjoyed the overly happy newlyweds that everyone loves to make fun of, but they don’t mind at all.

About Our 1st Runner Up

About Our 2nd Runner Up

Vera Hogenson Photography Melinda and Carlos Orona

K Lewis Photography Melanie Bakarian and Jonathan Fleege

Carlos and Melinda met when she was introduced by her sister Katie, who worked with Carlos at Textbook Brokers. The attraction was instant, and they’ve been together ever since the first date where they connected over sushi, a favorite of both.

After dating for about a year, Carlos brought up the idea of getting engaged and they went to the jewelry store for what Melinda describes as the more exciting shopping trip of her life.

He later popped the question before a dinner date on June 24.

The couple married in April 2013 at the Palafox Wharf, and despite a rainy morning that forced them to change the ceremony from outside to indoors, the vintage-themed event turned out beautifully. The happy couple had a vacation planned already shortly following their wedding so they are planning their official honeymoon for their first anniversary, which they hope will become their annual vacation tradition. The newlyweds have spent their first year of marriage settling into the home they bought a few months before the wedding, which didn’t get much attention during the wedding planning process.

Melanie Bakarian and Jonathon Fleege first crossed paths, but never formally met while attending Catholic High School in the late 1990s, when Melanie was a freshman JV cheerleader and Jonathon was a junior sailing enthusiast. About 15 years later, after Melanie had moved to a fast-paced life in LA and Jonathon was moving around doing seasonal work in California, Colorado and then back home to Pensacola, the pair met again on the beach one evening during the Thanksgiving holidays in 2011. The sparks flew and they’ve been together ever since.

Melanie says the engagement, like the couple, was not traditional. After four months together they picked out a ring at a vintage jewelry store in Beverly Hills and he proposed that same night. The wedding was a relaxed garden party inspired by Marie Antoinette and the French romantic culture Melanie fell in love with while attending school in Paris, France for a semester in college. The honeymoon is this May and will take this adventurous couple on a six-week journey across Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia.

Stock the Bar Themed wedding showers can be daunting enough to throw for one person, let alone a couple. An old Southern tradition is making a comeback, however, in the form of a popular motif for coed wedding showers.

16

pensacolamagazine.com

February/March 2014

Stock the bar parties have been around for decades in some regions, while in others they’re almost unheard of.

Traditionally thrown as housewarming affairs for couples moving into a new residence, they have gained traction in recent years as a fun way to throw a joint shower for the soon-to-bemarried couple. The idea behind it is to help newlyweds and new homeowners build up their home bar for entertaining future guests.

Local bride Caroline McKay said her friends Stephana and Justin Gaudin threw a joint wedding shower for her and her fiancé last year with a stock the bar theme.

“It’s common in the South, and it’s pretty common for people to do it for a bridal shower,” McKay said.

Gifts don’t have to be limited to alcohol, either.

Items such as bottle openers, drink or shot glasses (get them monogrammed for a more personal touch), juice or soda mixers, garnishes such as a jar of cherries or olives, or a cocktail mixing kit are all creative alternatives to booze.

“We received a decanter, a bar kit with a shaker and spoon, some glasses … Everything was focused on having a party,” said McKay, who noted that the decanter is one of the things she uses the most.

For those planning on hosting, the versatile theme can be taken further. Is the couple into wine? Craft beer?

Martinis? Tropical drinks? The parties can be personalized around their preferred libations. If the couple has a signature cocktail, set up a table with the drink’s ingredients and invite guests to mix the drink to their liking.

The décor can also incorporate bar items. Empty alcohol bottles can be used as flower vases, and drink glasses can serve as holders for nuts, candy, and other little snacks. Though the theme is traditional, creativity and personal touches will make it more memorable for both the couple and the guests.

Those that have attended, hosted, or had one thrown for them agree that they are a fun way to get both the bride and groom’s friends together in one place before

Gift Ideas For wine lovers: • Wine glasses • Corkscrews • Aerators • Wine chillers/buckets • Small wine racks or bottle holders For beer lovers: • Beer glasses • Bottle openers • Personalized coasters or cozies • Chillsners (for keeping bottled beer cold) • Home beer-brewing kit For cocktail lovers: • Glassware • Set of bitters • Unique ice cube trays (there are even spherical ones!)

• Cocktail mixer and bar tools set • A bottle of a rare, flavored or small batch liquor

Miniature bottles make the perfect party favors

the big day, as well as a way to make sure they and other future guests are well cared for.

“I would highly recommend it to any newlywed,” said McKay, who’s planning to help host one for another bride-to-be. “Every time we have parties, we always have liquor and stuff for people to make mixed drinks.”

Why Every Smart Bride (and Groom) Should Consider A Prenuptial Agreement

PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENTS

A Contract of Love

The sight of lovers feedeth those in love. ~ William Shakespeare; As you Like it 3:4

By Autumn O. Beck, Esq. here is just something romantic about this time of year. In Pensacola, we know that the cold weather is about to give way to a glorious panhandle spring and frequently our first days of warm weather coincide with the heady season of love and St. Valentine’s day. The jewelry stores start preparing for the engagement and wedding season and increase their diamond inventory, restaurants plan special menus and florists put in their orders for the red roses to be delivered all around town. Ladies who are well loved by the right man become more beautiful every day and the men who love them become more confident. If you have ever witnessed a couple become engaged, the nervous posture of the groom-to-be and the excitement of the bride-to-be cannot help but elicit a feeling of hope in the observer. Yes, Shakespeare was right; the sight of lovers is like seed for lovebirds.

Ahh and a bride-to-be, constantly looking down at her hand admiring the way her ring catches the light, flipping through magazines full of dresses and decorations and putting in place the wedding she has had planned in her mind since she was a little girl. The cake, the dress, the party! And just as the fun of the wedding planning is being undertaken, someone dares to ask “Are you getting a pre-nup?” Gasp! Who would cast this shadow of doubt on a newly engaged couple?

Yes, over the years the word pre-nup has become a dirty word for hopeful and committed brides and grooms. It is understandable of course, as who wants to enter a marriage with the expectation of it failing; why plan for the end your marriage when you have just committed to undertake this life in a permanent partnership? But what if the discussion about a prenuptial agreement did just the opposite? What if it solidified your commitment instead of polarized it?

Prenuptial agreements have been around for centuries. In the Jewish faith, the bride and groom not only make an emotional and spiritual commitment to one another through marriage, but also make a legal commitment through the use of a ketubah. In a ketubah, the mutual responsibilities of the parties are outlined for the couple both during the marriage and if necessary upon their divorce. The true historic goal of the first prenuptial agreements therefore was not just for divorce planning, but also for marriage planning. Over the years, society’s view of prenuptial agreements has deviated from this idea. It’s no wonder why when celebrity couples break up and the extreme terms of their prenuptial agreements highlight nothing but their selfish motives and greed.

But the reality of a well thought out prenuptial is the exact opposite and has less to do with protecting your “stuff” from the other person and more about writing your own plan for your future as husband and wife.

Smart Brides and Grooms know that their marriage will end.

This may sound harsh, but bear with me. Smart couples know that even though they do not intend, and do not want, to ever dissolve their marriage, the possibility of dissolution is a reality.

The current national divorce average is somewhere around 40 percent, down from recent years where it topped 50 percent.

While every newly engaged couple is hoping and expecting to beat those odds, smart brides and grooms do not ignore the possibility of dissolution. Aside from the possibility of divorce, smart brides and grooms know with certainty that if divorce doesn’t end their marriage, death will. Prenuptials not only help outline terms for divorce, but also establish terms for inheritance and estate planning. When a person dies, Florida law provides for how that person’s property is transferred. Similarly, if a couple divorces, the law will dictate the terms of that divorce. In these instances, a statute or a judge interpreting the facts to the relevant law can ultimately make very personal decisions for families. A prenuptial is a contract that sets forth some minimum terms in both and smart brides and grooms use a prenuptial to decide that when the marriage ends, due to either death or dissolution that their lives will be governed by the terms of their own agreement, rather than by any terms dictated by a statute or a judge.

Smart Brides and Grooms Know They Have to Talk about the Hard Stuff Ask any couple who has been married for a long time what their secret of success is and they will likely tell you

“communication.” In fact, the pastors, licensed mental health counselors and other people involved in helping struggling marriages that I work with on a regular basis will tell you that couples are headed for divorce when they can no longer communicate. A prenuptial agreement forces a couple to have conversations about difficult subjects like finances, death and honesty before they take the leap. Smart brides and grooms believe that that by openly discussing these matters, they are solidifying their commitment and love for each other and setting a pattern of open communication that will stay with them for the duration of their relationship and married lives. This is accomplished in several ways as the prenuptial is negotiated.

Enforceable prenuptial agreements often require full financial disclosure of each party’s assets and liability and forces the parties to think about their positions on legal issues like alimony, marital assets and debt and inheritance. A good prenuptial agreement also helps the couple outline how finances will be handled during the marriage and can address financial issues like separate bank accounts and individual earnings.

Smart Brides and Grooms Want to Understand the Rules of the Game Most people do not know the rules of the game when it comes to divorce or death. There is no doubt about it that when you get married, you are entering into a contract. Saying “I do” means they are committing themselves to certain spiritual and emotional responsibilities, but also certain legal rights and responsibilities under the law. But, when you think about it, it is probably the only contract that you enter into without understanding what those rights and responsibilities really are. Few couples know if they will have to pay alimony or not if they divorce, whether or not keeping the title of a property in the name of only one party will determine who it will belong to after divorce, or how assets and debt would be divided in the event of a divorce. The first time they learn about the rules of the game, it is after someone has filed for divorce or one party has died. Then it can be too

late. A prenuptial helps a couple understand what the law says about marriage, divorce and death and helps them decide at the outset, whether or not they agree with the laws. The prenuptial can then override the current law in many instances and create the “law of the marriage” for this couple. Don’t believe in alimony? You can waive your entitlement to it via your prenuptial.

Believe that forgoing a career to stay at home with children should be financially compensated for? Contract for that compensation. Want to require that the title controls ownership for all the property acquired during the marriage? Include it in your agreement. A smart bride and groom use a prenuptial to write their own rules.

As a divorce lawyer, I don’t get the opportunity as often as I would like to facilitate the creation of families. Honestly when I started doing prenuptial agreements, I had the impression that they were just for the wealthy, blended families or for couples who really didn’t think they were going to “make it” long term.

But the more brides and grooms that I represent, the more value I see in the process of creating a prenuptial agreement and making financial decisions together. A recent prenuptial client said, “If we can talk about things like whether or not to have a baby, we should be able to talk about the real embarrassing things like my credit card debt.” As this particular couple was leaving my office on the date they executed their prenuptial agreement, they looked at me and the other attorney and informed us that their next stop was the courthouse, to get their marriage license. “Now that we signed this contract of love, let’s make it official.”

Seed for this lovebird’s soul.

RINGS

A Symbol of Love Choosing a ring to last forever

By Ashleigh Woolly, Manager, Bere Jewelers - Pensacola

L

Let’s face it, you have either looked at engagement rings with your boyfriend or you plan to start looking soon. You are probably cutting out pictures, saving images to Pinterest, and tagging him in Facebook posts about rings that you like. But, how do you really select a ring that symbolizes everything your love has become and everything that it will one day be? How do you select a ring that forever symbolizes your wedding day, a day you have dreamed about since you were a little girl?

It is simple. You follow your heart!

Know your jeweler.

Local independent jewelers are more likely to support the local community, and you are likely to experience a personal level of service superior to what you will find at the bigger corporate chain stores. You should love shopping for your engagement ring, and you should shop with someone that has a true passion for the art and craftsmanship of beautiful jewelry.

Know your diamond’s origin.

Is your diamond conflict free? For years, The Kimberley Process has been the standard for conflict free diamonds. It is an international certification program established to prevent the sale of diamonds that are illegally traded to fund conflicts. Forevermark diamonds set a new standard for responsible sourcing, going beyond the Kimberly Process by looking at the individual mine and mining company as well as the country of origin. Not all countries that fall within the Kimberley Process qualify to provide Forevermark diamonds. You can feel good about falling in love with a Forevermark diamond.

“As the new face of the DeBeers diamond company, the Forevermark brand finds its origin in the most respected name in the diamond industry.” Barry Cole, Beré Jewelers

Know how your diamond is selected and crafted.

Many diamond brands claim to be the best. Some claim to have the best cut, others the best color, etc. By setting the most stringent standards in the industry, only 1 percent of the world’s diamonds are eligible to be Forevermark diamonds. A true master craftsman uses skills passed down through generations to cut and polish each diamond, releasing its brilliance and life. The way a diamond is cut and polished will determine how much it sparkles.

The process of adding every facet takes time and patience; the slightest mistake can reduce a diamond’s inner fire. A Forevermark diamond must be crafted to a cut grade of Very Good or higher, so the craftsmen must use their expertise to ensure each diamond is created within these strict parameters. By unleashing the life in the diamond, they create a unique masterpiece in every one.

“The 4Cs have always been important when selecting a diamond, but now with the Forevermark brand, the 4Cs are just the beginning. The Forevermark Diamond Institute carefully evaluates every diamond, going beyond the technical 4Cs criteria to hand select only the most beautiful diamonds to become Forevermark. The end result is that Forevermark diamonds are the world’s most carefully selected diamonds.”

Barry Cole, Beré Jewelers Only after a diamond’s provenance and quality are confirmed can it receive the Forevermark inscription – a symbol of the Forevermark promise. The Forevermark inscription consists of a unique identification number and the Forevermark icon. The inscription is 1/20th of a micron deep – 1/5000th the depth of a

human hair – and is placed on the table facet of the diamond, using confidential, proprietary technology developed by the De Beers group of companies.

Invisible to the naked eye, the Forevemark inscription is not only proof that each diamond is beautiful, rare and responsibly sourced, but also allows you to register your diamond for extra assurance.

“While you can have confidence that every Forevermark diamond is beautiful, rare and responsibly sourced, you should also ask for further assurance through a certified grading report.”

Barry Cole, Beré Jewelers A Forevermark Grading Report is an accurate assessment of your diamond’s unique qualities: its cut, clarity, color and carat weight. Each diamond is checked at least five times to ensure an accurate profile that is reliable and consistent. In addition to your diamond’s technical 4Cs details, the passport-sized Grading Report provides a special blueprint, which maps the exact qualities that make the diamond one of a kind and confirms that it is natural and untreated.

Know what speaks to your heart.

Finding a diamond that speaks to your heart is the difference between seeing a pretty ring and finding…your ring. Your ring is the ring that symbolizes your love. Your ring is the ring that you will want to wear for the rest of your life. Your ring is the ring that speaks to your heart.

Your ring is all about brilliance, fire and scintillation. When choosing a diamond, don’t be afraid to take it outside. You can’t select a diamond by just looking at it at the counter. Look at it in different light and at different angles. It will look different on your hand and it will look different in each light. Look at the way the light dances around. It should throw out a rainbow of colors and display the diamond’s natural brilliance. Brilliance is the white light reflected from the internal or external surfaces of the diamond. Fire refers to the flashes of color that come from the diamond. A diamond cut to enhance its natural beauty will have fire. Scintillation is the sparkle or flashes of light you see as the diamond moves.

Know your budget.

The best ring for you doesn’t always have to be the biggest ring in the store. Find the diamond shape that looks best on your hand.

Then, find a setting that fits your style and enhances the shape of your diamond. From there, your budget can help you determine the size and quality of the diamond. A smaller diamond that is well cut with the right brilliance, fire and scintillation may actually have a larger appearance than a diamond with a larger carat weight. By shopping with a local jeweler who can take the time to get to know you and understand what you want, you will have a better chance of finding the diamond that speaks to your heart and your budget.

TIPPING

Tips for Wedding Gratuities

By Josh Newby

Tipping is one of those gray areas of wedding etiquette about which you can find varying and conflicting degrees of advice. On the one hand, weddings are almost always more expensive than initially planned—and 15 to 20 percent tips add to the unforeseen expense. But on the other hand, rewarding vendors with a tip is often expected, and even if your particular photographer or caterer is not expecting one, a gift or show of appreciation goes a long way.

26

pensacolamagazine.com

February/March 2014

So how do you make sense of this potentially awkward situation? Pensacola Magazine has done the dirty work for you and asked multiple vendors from a variety of wedding professions in the area how they feel about tips, when to tip, how much, and more.

Before deciding how much to set aside for gratuity, though, be sure to check your vendor contracts. Many tips are built into the price of catering, for example, and one of the line items will often allocate a percentage of the final cost for gratuity.

Wedding planners suggest combing through these documents carefully to ensure you do not double-tip.

The consensus of both the Pensacola community and national etiquette consultants is that tipping officiants, priests and ministers is not necessary and often not expected. Nevertheless, a $50 to $75 gift to either the host organization or the officiant is always welcomed and appreciated. If your wedding is performed by a civil employee such as a judge or clerk, be sure to forgo the tip altogether.

If a gratuity is not built into catering, you will want to ask the manager if tips can be paid in one lump sum to be evenly divided among all staff, or if you should individually reward each of the workers. If the former, add 15 to 20 percent to the final bill as a tip. If the latter, tip each of the wait staff $20 or $30 and the managers or chefs $50 to $100 each, depending on the type and quality of food. Many local caterers do not expect a tip at all, but are very happy to receive one and are always grateful for the opportunity to provide extraordinary service to you and your guests. For bartenders, give about 10 percent of the final bill and instruct them to split it amongst themselves.

Photographers and musicians further complicate the rules for tipping. One local photographer said that she rarely receives gratuities, even though she considers her work excellent and her effort extraordinary.

Usually, if the photographer owns his or her own photography business, it is not necessary to tip, although you can give an additional 10 percent if once you get your pictures back you discover that they are better than you were expecting. For employees of a photography or videography company, it is customary to tip $30 to $50. The same rule applies to musicians. If the band or deejay is independent of an agency, their cost to perform should be adequate; however, an employee or employees of a larger entertainment company should be rewarded.

Musicians should be given about $20 a piece and deejays should be given about $25 to $30.

For stylists and makeup artists, salon rules apply. A 15 to 20 percent tip is often expected after service is performed. Extraordinary work should be further compensated appropriately.

If you have a wedding planner, a tip is not obligatory and should be an expression for especially good service. One wedding coordinator said that she never expects a tip, as the special wedding day is expensive and hectic enough. Most wedding planners, especially if they are self-employed, will bill exactly what they expect to receive. However, just as in restaurants, a gratuity is often the unspoken expectation unless service was terrible. For wedding vendors, a personal gift is often adequate. Flowers or a framed picture from your wedding showing the coordinator in action is often well received. If you prefer to give cash, plan on about 15 percent of the final fee.

Your wedding day will go by quicker than you can possibly realize, and while many of your vendors will perform fantastic service, it is unrealistic to think you will be able to carry around the money and personally give each of them their deserved gratuities. Make sure to assign someone to this duty. It should be someone you trust, such as a bridesmaid or groomsman, or a relative who is not your immediate family. Non-contract tips should be cash-stuffed envelopes, with clear instructions on when to distribute each. For hair and makeup, tips should be given at the time of service. For musicians, caterers and bartenders, after the reception is appropriate. For photographers, videographers and other services with deliverables, gratuities should be given when the final product is ready. If you decide to tip your officiant, it is a nice gesture to give him a gift yourself sometime between the ceremony and reception. Wedding planners can be tipped up to a few weeks after the wedding.

It is important to remember that tipping is never obligatory, and if your budget simply does not allow it, simple gifts or cards make perfectly acceptable means of gratitude.

For above-and-beyond service and unparallelled attention to detail, however, be sure to do what you can for these vendors who are making your special day a day you will never forget.

RENTALS Dance N’ Glow’s LED Dance Floor

By Jeanessa Gantt

Rent the Day Eclectic elements set the scene for a perfect day

With current wedding trends leaning toward larger, more aweinspiring events, offering guests a unique and unforgettable experience is often one of the main concerns held by today’s brides. Although some brides may only consider rental basics like tables and chairs as the foundation for their larger design vision, rentals can also be used to showcase the couples’ personal style, keep guests entertained and save a little bit of money.

Dance N’ Glow floor can give it to you,” said Jade Eaton, who owns Dance N’ Glow along with her husband Tim. “Since the floor is computer controlled, it can be left on one color, or it can be set to automatically cycle through hundreds of custom patterns. We can even display all types of text and graphics.”

Since most of the wedding day photography will be focused on the bridal party, Pensacola Photo Booth gives reception guests the opportunity to capture their own memorable moments. Because of the photo booth’s unique open style, the couple can set the scene by choosing one of the company’s solid backdrops, use natural scenes or create their own backdrop.

Pensacola Photo Booth even provides guests dress up items and seasonal props to make the experience even more fun. During the two hour rental period, guests can take unlimited four-shot photo sessions, receiving a print with the wedding date and graphic of the couple’s choosing a mere 45 seconds later.

“A photo booth from Pensacola Photo Booth is certainly a unique wedding rental and is a source of fun and entertainment all on its own,” said Matthew Baransy, owner of Pensacola Photo Booth. “Every guest walks away with big smile, having had some real fun while making memories at the wedding.”

The bride’s wedding day ensemble is often the main attraction of the whole ceremony. And while renting décor items is often a no-brainer, renting a dress or accessories for the big day may not have crossed your mind. Rent the Runway is an online service that offers designer dresses, jewelry and veils for a fraction of their retail prices. Brides can search through hundreds of designer items and choose to borrow them for either a four-day or eight-day rental period. Once the event is over, the items can be packaged in a provided pre-paid envelop and shipped back.

The company even pays for dry cleaning.

Finding bridesmaids dresses in the same color that flatter all of your bridesmaids can be next to impossible. Little Borrowed Dress solves that problem. This online rental service offers both long and short dresses in 18 colors and a variety of cuts to suit every member of your bridal party. Brides can even order color swatches to make sure the dresses will match the rest of her décor. All of the styles come in the same colors, so even if

For brides seeking a more retro aesthetic, Hemstitch Vintage Rentals may have just what you’re looking for. With a style described as southern, pretty, vintage charm paired with shabby chic, rentals from Hemstitch can bring a sense of nostalgia and intimacy to the ceremony and reception space. From mismatched dining chairs and farmhouse tables, to whiskey barrel beverage stations and vintage lace table cloths, Hemstitch’s inventory of vintage treasures can be used to create a look that will transport guests to a place of whimsical timelessness. Rentals are even offered in packages as pre-styled vignettes.

“A lot of my brides are looking for heirlooms, things that remind them of their family when they were growing up,” said Hemstitch owner Angela Haley. “You don’t have to do it all to make a statement either. You can pick and choose what pieces you want that will make your wedding unique and personal.”

From the couple’s first dance to the practically obligatory Electric Slide line dance, dancing is traditionally one of the primary sources of entertainment at the wedding reception. With so much of the reception dedicated to cutting a rug, incorporating a dance floor into the reception space is essential.

The Dance N’ Glow LED dance floor provides an innovative option for the couple that wants to add a bit of technological flair to their occasion. At 16 feet by 20 feet, the floor can accommodate 100 party guests and be programmed to produce over 16 million colors to match any reception décor.

“Whether you’re looking for elegance or extravagance, the

The event venue is often the first and most crucial rental chosen during the wedding planning process, as it serves as the backdrop for the couple’s special day. Whether your space is fabulous on its own or needs a little sprucing up, Steve and Tracy Lastinger at Wedding Walls can help transform your venue into something truly special. The husband and wife design team started their company with the mission to bring sophistication to plain or unattractive venue spaces, focusing on specific areas that needed a bit of visual interest. Specializing in fabric draping and custom backdrops, their passion for design has blossomed into creating full-blown room transformations for spaces of every shape and size.

“We spend real quality time with the client to see what they really love about their venue sites and what they wish they could change about it,” said Tracy Lastinger. “We just love to design, from simply elegant to ballroom grandeur and everything in between.”

The sky is the limit for what Wedding Walls designers can create for clients. Past designs include a fairy tale castle for a Disney-themed wedding ceremony, a beach-themed wedding reception with rippling water effects, and a floor-to-ceiling fabric draped ballroom.

bridesmaids each want to wear a different dress cut they will still match perfectly. The site recommends reserving dresses several months in advanced to ensure availability.

With so many options to choose from, selecting unique wedding rentals can help the bride and groom create an event that is both personal and memorable for everyone involved.

Whether you’re looking for dance floors or dresses, there are rentals to suit every style and aesthetic.
