Your team effort and enthusiastic attitude provide the stimulus for our successful monthly publications.

January for many of us marks new beginnings—new ventures; and for Bluffs & Bayous, these new ventures fashion the motif of our January Wedding Issue as it highlights the previous year’s prominent engagements and weddings in our area. Such joyous occasions, as families and friends celebrate their new beginnings, create an exciting venue of stories and images for our readers.

For many years, my long-time friend and co-editor Jean Biglane partnered with me in a venture that opened many doors to happy times‌.we operated a wedding-and-eventsplanning business, Apropos.

Personal Touches A

s I sit to write this, espresso in hand, responding to messages and emails for upcoming weddings, I cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the honor of being involved in such intimate, special days. Over these last several years, I have fallen in love over and over again with these families that I’ve had the privilege of working with; and I would love to share with you a few inspirations I have gained.

Honoring Legacies One of my favorite additions to a wedding reception is a memory table. For those whom we hold so dear and who are no longer physically with us on that special day, a memory table is a perfect way to honor their presence in our lives. Gather your favorite photographs of those loved ones or maybe pictures from their wedding day, and disSOD\ WKHP DW WKH UHFHSWLRQ &DQGOHV DQG D EHDXWLIXO Ă RUDO DUUDQJHPHQW are a great addition to this special display.

This is something they will treasure for a lifetime. With similar sentiment, one of my brides accented her bouquet with her grandmother’s rosary, a testament to the love and faith of her grandmother. Such details as these are the ones that make the wedding day so memorable. Although these touches may not be something that guests notice, these complements are important to the bride and groom; and that is what matters most.

Page 10 { January 2018 { Bluffs & Bayous

Bringing Two Families Together One of my brides designed the most adorable family crest for her and her husband. They used the crest on all sorts of items for the wedding from invitations to glassware. I loved the unity it gave to the event. As a bonus, the newlyweds could use their new crest on a variety of occasions. $ ÀUVW IRU PH DQG , KRSH QRW D ODVW RQH of my couples had their pups, one representing the bride and the other representing the groom, in the ceremony—a special addition to the joining of two families. And it was everything you can imagine. I think these pups stole several hearts that day, too.

Simple Additions. Big Impact.

Lighting is such a key factor in the overall ambience of an event. Candles can transpire a table from something fabulous to something over the top. Lining window sills or mantels with pillar candles brings all the drama without a huge price tag. There are endless ways to light your event—from bistro lighting, chandeliers, and uplighting, to the lighting your band may bring to crank the party to that next level. If your venue doesn’t allow actual candles, have no fear; there are now effecWLYH à DPHOHVV RSWLRQV WKDW ZRQ¡W JR RXW DW WKH ÀUVW JXVW RI ZLQG %H VXUH QRW WR RYHU look the impact these additions can make.

Having a wedding during the day and feeling like you are missing out on the magic of lighting? I recently had a bride schedule her ceremony time at the exact time of day that the church’s stained glass was brilliantly illuminated by the sun and set a glow over the entire ceremony. Talk about impact.

Lastly and most importantly, it is your day so cater it to you. Don’t feel the need to follow trends or what your best friend is doing. You do you as a couple! That way,

when you look back, you will know the day was stamped one hundred percent by your likes and tastes!

I hope these few inspirations have given you some ideas for your big day. Thanks for reading along, and I wish you a New <HDU Ă&#x20AC;OOHG ZLWK ORWV RI ORYH DQG KDSSLQHVV XOXO, Ă deux Abagail is a Natchez native and graduate of Trinity Episcopal High School and Louisiana Tech University.
