Enjoy is grateful to be working with Paul David of Northstate Bride (www.northstatebride.com) and the Redding Bridal Show on our first wedding style guide. In the publishing industry, as in the event industry, when you witness inventiveness and artistry, you want to be part of it. Paul opened up a whole new world for us by inviting us to work together to create a wedding guide - something we have always wanted to do. Paul introduced us to this wedding community and developed the most current information on trends and style. It was exhilarating to put together a coffee table style book that showcases the rich talent and assortment of professional vendors, along with beautiful North State brides, grooms, venues, flowers and jewelry. We are introducing this wedding guide at the Redding Civic Auditorium for the Redding Bridal Show. Thank you, Paul; together we thrive in the spirit of this ceremonial community.

ON TREND 2016 WEDDING TRENDS

calligraphy takes over

Loose floral arrangements continue to make a big splash. The organic, unstructured feel is simply beautiful. Flowers are making their way back to the center of attention, and bigger centerpieces, floral chandeliers, bouquets and more abound this year.

Handwritten calligraphy has always had its place in wedding trends, but today it has taken over everything from cake toppers to custom notes, invitations, signs and more. Look for creative ways to communicate your message with calligraphy.

Outdoor Extreme

Rustic brides are taking their love for nature and the outdoors to another level in 2016, with more opting for outdoor weddings in national parks and other scenic places. These locations create some of the most dynamic backdrops imaginable and are sure to keep your guests in awe through the ceremony.

Old Is New With Vintage-Inspired Jewelry From a family heirloom to vintage-inspired modern creations, more brides are looking for a classic feel when it comes to their rings and other jewelry.

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME

T H E R I G H T D R E S S F O R YO U Now that you are engaged and the ring is in place, it’s time to start the search for your dream dress. And, like marriage, wedding dress shopping is all about finding “the one.” From the neckline and silhouette to the fabric and style, the choices are limitless. Let’s look at the silhouettes and details that will flatter your body type, and ensure you look and feel absolutely beautiful on your big day.

ATHLETIC Show off your toned physique with highlighting style lines like a low back, a delicate halter top neckline or one shoulder sleeve.

Also, to soften your shape, look for dresses with drapery and smooth silky fabrics, like floating sheer overlays.

APPLE Look for gowns with asymmetry! Angular details can be a wonder for creating shape, and if you want a gown to give you those defined curves, asymmetrical pleating and ruching can create that illusion for you.

PEAR Try gowns that have a join line seam at or above your natural waist. This helps guarantee that the look flatters your curvier bottom. If you are looking to cover up, consider a traditional ball gown style with full skirt and bodice.

12 ENJOY

TALL With long legs, go for high-slit hemlines or styles that have cascading layers, like a high-low skirt. The playful hems will keep you from looking too column-like, giving your shape dimension rather than just height.

STRAIGHT Anything goes! If you are wanting to add some curves, try on gowns with waist peplum details and tulle gathers, or cut into your straight form with sheer panel illusions or sculpted seaming.

portant in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.

Yves Saint Laurent PETITE Think continuous lines. Look for gowns that don't have an obvious join seam if you would like to have the appearance of being taller. Stick to fabrics that lay closer to the body—the bigger the dress, the smaller you will look. Try a lace fit to flair.

HOURGLASS You have two choices: flaunt your curves or your waist line.

Show off the curves of your bust and bum with a mermaid or fit-to-flair gown paired with a sweetheart neckline, or try an A-line skirt ball gown to elongate your shape by drawing attention up to your waist.

PLUS Try gowns that enhance all the right places. Open necklines like a deep V or boat neck are perfect ways to highlight bust and shoulders while still providing support, and gowns with twisted gathers and ruching narrow your waistline while flattering.

YO U C A N H AV E YO U R C A K E A N D E AT I T, TO O !

First things first: Find your local bakeries and see which ones fit within your vision. Here are a few important things to consider when selecting a bakery:

Once you have determined which bakeries fit your needs, establish your dessert budget, keeping in mind how many servings you will need and what your cost per serving will be. When you meet with bakers, bring pictures of cakes that you like and that match the style you are looking for. You can also include details or your wedding decor and venue to give your baker the best possible idea of your vision.

BUDGET Know how much you want to spend. Men’s rings usually start around $200-$300, but can range into the thousands. Look at what fits your budget, then move onto other factors in your decision-making process.

STYLE Men’s rings come in all types of styles, from different metals and carbons to wood and even stone.

This should help you determine if he is going to want something flashy and bright or something earthy and organic.

Finding the perfect ring for her

START DREAMING Pinterest is a great place to start dreaming about the perfect engagement/wedding ring.

Pin shapes and styles you like, then look through the photos together and talk about the things you like about each. Men: Look for the hints and take notes. Showing your Pinterest board to a local jeweler will help him or her point you in the right direction.

THE THREE Cs Cut, color and clarity will help you understand what you are getting and why you are paying the price you are paying. From here, consider things like the shape, setting and metal options for your ring.

INSPIRATION Pinterest can be your best friend when it comes to online floral inspirations. A simple search of the term “wedding flowers” yields thousands of ideas, and you can filter your results with every color and theme you could imagine. If you are looking for even more inspiration, you can also find quality blogs and Instagram accounts dedicated to floral inspirations.

COLOR Although your initial focus may be on the bloom selection, it is also important to consider the color impact that your floral selection will play on your overall wedding decor. Go over your wedding color scheme with your floral designer, and discuss the setting/venue of your wedding so your floral designer can make specific recommendations that will allow your flowers to play an integral part in your wedding decor.

CALIFORNIA’S YEAR-ROUND SELECTIONS California is unique because of its diverse climates, which gives you the advantage of quality year-round floral selections. On average, you will also be paying less for your floral selections in relation to brides elsewhere in the United States. Talk to your floral designer about what they recommend for the time of year that you are getting married. He or she will have the inside information from growers and suppliers, which will help you get the most out of your floral selections while sticking to your budget.

FRESH FLOWERS Talk with your floral designer about how they ensure freshness. Professional designers should be able to explain their processes, including use of flower foods and preservatives, temperature of storage and placement of the flowers during the ceremony and reception.

Photo by Modern Image Photography Florals by Dulce Blomma

SEASONAL SELECTIONS When you talk to your floral designer, be sure to discuss seasonal flowers – the fresher your blooms are, the better your floral arrangements will look and the more affordable they should be.

FLOWERS DONE RIGHT

Talk to a professional florist about what will be in season for your wedding, and find out what can be found locally and what will have to be ordered. You can save yourself time and hassle later by knowing what to expect and what it will cost to meet your expectations.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? A tuxedo is recommended for a formal wedding and a suit will do just fine for a semi-formal or informal wedding.

WHY RENT? Unless you see yourself needing a tuxedo or suit multiple times within a given year, renting is always a good option and can save you some money over purchasing something you might not wear again.

PICKING YOUR COLORS Consider the color of her wedding dress, the bridesmaids’ dresses and the decor for the wedding. Take color samples or pictures into the tuxedo shop as references.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION After the initial excitement of your engagement starts to set in a little, you will likely find yourself immediately thinking about two things: when and where? Both play a role in one of the most important aspects of your wedding: the venue. Finding the right place to be married is an incredibly personal decision, and should directly reflect the setting in which the two of you desire to say “I do.” But it is also wise to consider your guests. Think through the lens of your guests and imagine what you would like them to experience at your wedding. Your venue will be the main backdrop of this experience.

FINDING THE PERFECT VENUE

Photo by Heather Armstrong Photography

Photo by Tracey Hedge Photography

WEIGHING ALL YOUR OPTIONS Every venue has different offerings, and these individual aspects should ultimately make their way onto your pros and cons list. While weighing your options, find the venue which ultimately offers the most “pros” within your budget.

RELATIONSHIP MATTERS Meeting with the owners of the venue and their staff should be a positive experience that leaves you feeling excited about the possibility of working with them. Look for venue owners who have a focus on relationship and good communication.

CONSIDER MORE THAN ONE Even if you are certain that you know where you want to get married, consider multiple venues. Often, couples think they have found the perfect place but end up going with another location that surprised them and they ended up liking more.

THE BUDGET Don’t hesitate to talk money. The ultimate goal is to get as many of your needs met as possible within your budget. Venue owners are happy to discuss how their venue can meet your needs and should have clear pricing for you to consider when making your decision.

ALWAYS ASK ABOUT MUSIC Finding a quality DJ is key, so getting good referrals from the venue owners will give you an inside track on what DJs have previously worked at the venue, impressed the owners and did a good job. Some venues have policies in regard to sound and may want to recommend a DJ who is aware of these rules and able to comply.

ALWAYS HAVE A “PLAN B” When you are selecting the venue for your wedding, ensure that you discuss a Plan B with the owners. What happens if there is a sudden shift in the weather? Is there an indoor option? What is the worst-case scenario going to be? All of these questions and more should be considered.

SHOW SOME STYLE Look for ways to make the food fun, unique and different. Passing appetizers or offering finger foods can make your reception stand out – see if you can incorporate a theme into the food that matches the theme of your reception.

Create unique menus that can describe the individual that the drink is named after.

OH SNAP C H O O S I N G YO U R P H OTO G R A P H E R Selecting your photographer to capture the biggest day of your life can be a daunting task. Unlike your baker and your caterer, photography has an element of unknown, because you won’t see the final results until it’s over. Here are a few things to consider while making your final selection.

RESEARCH YOUR OPTIONS You might have a best friend who swears they can help you with photos or a family member who says they know a guy, but don’t make that final decision until you have researched all your options. Carefully consider potential photographers, websites, blogs, social media accounts and prior client reviews.

MEET IN PERSON Set up a meeting with any potential photographers in person. You want to ensure that their personality and ability to communicate is in line with what you need for your day to go smoothly.

Photo by Kara Stewart Photography

PACKAGES AND BUDGET Consider which photo package you want and how it will work with your budget. Talk about additional fees for additional coverage (because weddings can go over) and what rights you get to the finished products.

TIMELINE Especially if you aren’t working with a professional wedding planner, having a photographer who can develop an accurate timeline is important. It will help your day go smoothly, help you save money and help all your other vendors and guests have a pleasant experience.
