getting started

Getting engaged is just the beginning Are you one of the thousands of couples who got engaged over the holidays? This is the time for you and your soon-tobe to get everything you ever wanted — the time to start from scratch, to upgrade, expand and replace. To turn a whole bunch of mismatched mine and yours into a lifetime of ours.

“When it comes to registering, relax, take your time and have fun,” recommends Audrey Stavish, a Bridal and Gift Registry expert at Bed Bath & Beyond. “Go back to the store as many times as needed, or update your registry online.

There aren’t any rules that you must follow. Choose items that are right for you and your soonto-be. Go through the registry process together and have fun!”

Here are some additional tips to make wedding planning a breeze: Plan Ahead: Start a bridal registry as soon as you say “yes.” This way you will be prepared for your engagement party and bridal shower, as

getting started Look back and Plan Ahead! Discuss your background and personal preferences beforehand. It’s also important to consider your future. Consider things like how often you’ll entertain and how much you will be cooking.

Visit a store: It’s in your best interest to visit a store and schedule an appointment with an expert consultant. Touch the towels, heft the flatware, see everything in person!

Do the math: Experts advise registering for 2-3 items times the number of guests you plan to have. Close friends and family will rely on your registry for special events leading up to the wedding — such as engagement parties, bridal showers and holidays!

Your guests will appreciate having lots of choices when they shop for you. Be sure to refresh your list regularly as gifts get purchased.

Register Now, Because You Won’t Buy it Later: You may think you will ... but you won’t. Now is the time to let others get you the stuff

Angie Movius Photography you’d never buy yourself.

Your friends and family might even get together to purchase a higher priced “group gift.”

Remember the Rule of Three: When it comes to

setting your table, if you choose bold patterns for your china and flatware, pick a more simple style of glassware. Prefer intricate stemware? Pair it with simpler patterns of china and flatware. So, it’s bold/bold/

simple or simple/simple/bold.

Congratulations and best wishes on your engagement.

Now get registering and let the gift-giving begin.

Put your personality on display with distinctive centerpieces that reflect your style — whether you’re a vintageobsessed collector or a modernloving minimalist. In today’s tablescapes, flowers are optional.

REFINED VINTAGE If you’re the hunter-gatherer type, opt for a tablescape that shows off your favorite flea-market treasures. Try spray-painting game pieces, vintage keys and animal figurines a soft cream color to give them an upscale, sophisticated look. By coordinating those vintage finds with simple, classic tableware, you’ll ensure that what might have looked mismatched or random will instead become modern and chic.

Use smaller doilies to create a chandelier of paper ruffles.

Fold 4-inch doilies in quarters. Open them back up, and then scrunch them a little at the center to give them the ruffled appearance of flowers. Thread the flowers onto yarn to make strands 12 to 16 inches long, and tie them to one large and one small wreath form. Hang with ribbon, placing the smaller ring lower than the larger. (Use pushpins or adhesive hooks to secure them to the ceiling.)

To turn everyday dining chairs into the best seats in the house, make extra doily garlands and sew them to ribbon ties, slip them over the chair backs and anchor them with double-sided tape.

How much control does bride have?

Dear Martha: I want my bridesmaids to look uniform, but how much of their attire can I dictate? Can I tell them what shoes to wear?

A: Generally, when it comes to the bridal party’s look, whatever you say goes. That said, think hard before you lay down sartorial edicts on shoes and accessories: A too-big dress can always be altered, but painful shoes will hurt all night.

ask martha that most of your attendants can wear them. Just be willing to accept reasonable variations in style and heel height. Also consider offering alternative suggestions to head off any possible resistance.

You can ask your bridesmaids to coordinate their ensembles with other matching accessories as long as you choose some basic pieces that aren’t too expensive. But if pricier accessories — such as jewelry, shawls or gloves — are important to you, it’s a nice gesture to provide those yourself as gifts.

A: While some suggest limiting showers to two, there really isn’t any reason a bride can’t have more than that — as long as the guest lists are different. For instance, if your friend hopes to invite your peers, while your aunt wants to only invite family members, you can accept the offers of both women with no qualms.

tified of their seating with a “within the ribbon” note. A stationer or calligrapher would create small cards that say “Within the ribbon” and then tuck them into the invitations going to family members. When those guests arrived at the ceremony, they would present the cards to the ushers.

Another traditional option was to send a pew card instead with your invitation. Its text would say something along the lines of, “Please present this card at United Methodist Church, Saturday, the sixth of November,” followed by a fill-in-the-blank: “Pew number —————.”

These days, however, most guests know not to sit in the first couple rows of pews.

To ensure that’s the case, brief your ushers about the most important people on your list, and ask them to seat only those guests in that section. If you want a larger section reserved, you will need to block it off. Draping a length of ribbon or garland across the opening of the rows in question will prevent other guests from sitting there.

Whether you’re planning a Wedding or Anniversary, Family Reunion, Business Retreat, or special meeting, we can accommodate your needs. A BBQ lunch, or dinner can be provided. While a large enclosed meeting and dining room with a 24’ x 85’ deck overlooking the Snake River, provides the perfect backdrop for your event.

without implying that we’ll be hosting — and picking up everyone’s tab?

A: Because the afterparty is an event separate from the wedding, you should treat it as such, says party planner Gail Johnson of Wedding Soiree in Atlanta. So don’t include information about it in your invitation suite.

Not only might this imply that you’re hosting the gathering, but it may make your guests feel obligated to attend.

For many of Johnson’s clients, the post-fete celebrations are a bit of an afterthought. As the reception draws to a close, they (and their wedding attendants) verbally recruit the livelier guests to continue the revelry, saying, “We’re going to a club after the wedding.” The informality of this last-minute notification gets the message to those who might want to join and allows those who aren’t interested to decline politely without much guilt. As for who’s paying for what, Johnson says most of the guests who accept your invitation will expect to buy their own drinks or pay their own cover charge, but if the question comes up, it’s best to be direct about it.

For some, tractors say it all

of the Press Enterprise

MIFFLINVILLE, Pa. — The night Candy Duke surprised boyfriend Todd Nevel with a full-size John Deere tractor as a gift, he knew he wanted to marry her.

The two said their vows recently standing next to the same machine and surrounded by seven more, with Duke’s bridesmaids decked out in John Deere green and yellow.

She had grown up on the picturesque Diehl Lane farm here.

“Ever since I was little I said I wanted to get married there because it was perfect,” said Duke, 28.

Nevel loves John Deeres so much he still has one parked in his garage, even though they’ve made a home in Berwick proper.

“Everybody laughs at me,” Angie Movius Photography said Nevel, 27.

“I was just around them all Duke had heard of people So when it came time to plan seemed to fit. It didn’t hurt that their nuptials, a country wed- the bride’s favorite color is the time,” Duke said. “That was celebrating their love of John Deeres by riding to the re- F ding with a John Deere theme green. our life.”

The bright, bold roses tend to conjure up a less dreamy, more casual look and feel.” And resist the urge to have centerpieces that are dramatically tall; lower arrangements can be just as fancy but more functional.

2. USE LUXE FABRICS Unfortunately, rich fabrics like velvet and taffeta aren’t appropriate for the warmer months. Instead, decorate with sheer fabrics, soft silk or cotton muslin, all of which are perfect for setting a romantic but refined mood. Choosing a pretty silk runner and fine napkins “in linen rather than the standard cotton rental,” says Robbins, will also automatically add a layer of sophistication to your Photo courtesy of Wayback Cafe and Catering wedding.

summer weddings Ridinger’s — The Art of Photography WILDFLOWER POWER Decorating with wildflowers at your wedding once meant the event would be held at a farm, your reception tables would be covered in gingham and guests would be taking home Grandma’s famous cookies. Which is all wonderful — if that’s your personality. But if your sensibility swings toward the couture end of the style spectrum, there is a way for wildflowers to look more polished.

1. UPGRADE YOUR VASES An easy way to make wildflowers look posh is to use interesting, surprising containers.

“Consider elegant cut glass, footed glass, vintage silver or beautiful porcelain vessels. All of these things bring elegance to simple flowers,” says Robbins.

“Avoid Mason jars, rustic wood or anything terra-cotta!”

2. KEEP FLOWERS ORGANIZED “Don’t mix your flowers when it comes to the centerpieces. Keep one variety F

SUMMERTIME SOLUTIONS How to keep your flowers fresh and full: l Chill them. “Ask your planner to make sure the blooms stay in an air-conditioned spot until the last possible minute,” advises Robbins. l Copy them. For your bouquet, he suggests you have two: one for the ceremony, one for the photos, to guarantee blooms look vibrant and alive in your pictures. l Plant them. “Decorate with charming potted plants. They can be used as favors, too.” l Fake them. If you want to wear flowers in your hair, “consider donning a faux flower. Cut blooms with no access to water will quickly wilt.”

pulling from a unique library of classic songs, dance beats and indie hits to create personalized playlists for weddings, parties and other events. Her top tip: “If you’re nervous about using your iPod as a sound system, don’t be — you can still get that high-energy, dance-party vibe by plugging big speakers right into it. Tons of sound-equipment stores rent them for weddings and events, and it doesn’t matter if you’re not exactly tech-savvy. Most places are willing to send someone to hook it all up for you and make sure things are running smoothly.” Here, D’Amore offers advice for couples who want to design their own playlists.

A: About a month before the wedding. The classics and favorites will come to mind easily, but other songs will take time. And remember, the list doesn’t have to be set in stone.

If a new hot song pops up, you can always throw it in there last-minute, even the day before the wedding.

Q: How do you get the mood right for each list?

A: For the cocktail list, keep it laid-back with indiepop songs such as “Strict Machine” by Goldfrapp, “Taper Jean Girl” by Kings of Leon and “An Honest Mistake” by the Bravery. The dinner list should feel softer, since people will most likely be giving speeches. I’d suggest songs Q: Creating a reception like Radiohead’s “High and playlist from scratch seems Dry,” the Flaming Lips’ verdaunting.

Groom style

Finding the right wardrobe for your groom All eyes are typically on the bride during a wedding. But that doesn’t mean the groom should be a shrinking violet. While the bridal gown may garner the “oohs” and “aahs,” what the groom wears on his wedding day is quite important as well.

In many ceremonies, the groom spends several minutes standing beside the alter awaiting his bride-to-be. Before the first notes of “Here Comes the Bride” are played, all eyes will be on him as he anxiously awaits the start of the ceremony.

As such, it is essential that the groom look well polished and is dressed in accordance to the tone and scope of the wedding.

Because most weddings are formal occasions, grooms often choose to wear a tuxedo or highend suit. A well-fitted tuxedo combined with a formal shirt, tie and vest is the classic wedding ensemble. Generally the tuxedo jacket is single-breasted with three buttons and satin trim. This style is universally flattering to most men’s frames.

Accessorizing the tuxedo can

However, to set themselves apart from the groomsmen and ushers, grooms tend to go with the classic black and white and forego colors. On some occasions, grooms may choose to wear a white tuxedo.

A well-groomed groom is also an important wedding day must.

He should be well-shaven and have recently had a haircut. If he has facial hair, it should be trimmed and neat.

Because he will be photographed all day long, a groom can Angie Movius Photography choose to take some cues from his soon-toa manicure to ensure nails and translucent facial powder can be-spouse. He may indulge in cuticles are neat. A dusting of tame shiny skin in photos. Some

couples opt for teeth whitening prior to the wedding to ensure a sparkling smile.

When dressing the rest of the men in a wedding, they should take their cues from the groom, but not be carbon-copies of him.

Fathers of the bride and groom can set themselves apart with a pocket square or a specially colored boutonniere.

The exception to a tuxedo or a suit would be for a casual wedding, particularly one held at the beach or in a park. Then the groom can wear what will coordinate for the occasion, such as a dress shirt and slacks, or even sandals and shorts for the ultra-casual wedding.

What to do for cocktail hour

By JENNIFER BENJAMIN

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc.

The cocktail portion of your wedding may not be at the top of your planning agenda, but for many guests, those 60 minutes spent sipping drinks and nibbling on gourmet hors d’oeuvres are one of the best times of the night. After the ceremony, your guests will be ready to unwind with a festive drink. Make sure you’ve got a well-appointed bar, the manpower to keep everyone’s glasses full and the signature cocktails your guests will savor.

SET THE SCENE You’ll want to have a few cocktail tables — some high, some low — so that guests can have a place to rest their drinks and sit down. Place low tables with chairs along the wall, and high-tops without chairs toward the middle of the room.

Your cocktail music should be quiet and lounge-y. That doesn’t, however, mean you have to settle for Lite FM tunes. “It’s a chance for the couple to express their own musical tastes with a low-key vibe,” explains Tyler Huffman of Chica- acoustic duos are good choices. go’s Cage and Aquarium ProducBUILD A GREAT BAR tions.

before dinner end up with a bottleneck at the bar. l DIVIDE AND CONQUER In addition to your main bar, situate one or two satellite bars at opposite corners of the room, serving only wine, beer and soda. This way, guests who don’t want mixed drinks can get quick service. l PLAN FOR TWICE THE FUN Generally, it’s safe to assume that each guest will have about two drinks during the cocktail hour. To avoid long lines at the bar, make sure there are at least two bartenders and one bar back (an assistant) for every 100 guests. l LOAD UP THE BAR Stock plenty of vodka — which always goes quickly — as well as good gin, Scotch, dark rum and a blended whiskey. Serve just one or two white wines and one red: Sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio and merlot are always favorites. Or try something new, like an Alsatian white or an Argentinian malbec.

Stock imported, light and domestic beers; local microbrews are invariably pleasing, surprising and a nice introduction to your wedding’s locale for out-of-town guests. l MAKE YOUR SIGNATURE DRINK TRULY SPECIAL “People think of cocktails as a science experiment, but most of the time the fewer ingredients used, the better,” says bartender Michael Mcllroy of Milk & Honey, a bar in New York City. “Opt for drinks that

BELLS AND BIRDS Long ago, brides rang bells to ward off evil spirits and kept their eyes skyward in search of doves, which were thought to foretell wedded bliss. But you can create your own good luck today with symbolic toppers.

Try winsome wedding bells and vintage millinery blossoms, tied with a simple white ribbon. Add a note of peace and calm to your big day with a fanciful golden dove, or ring in wedded bliss with a beaded bell that dangles from a branch of crisp white buds.

about the cake dates back to 1840, when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of England had their Lilliputian likenesses placed atop their wedding cake. Today, brides can choose from a dizzying array of him-and-her toppers, ranging from detailed renderings of the couple to clean, more iconic designs. A throwback topper with bride and groom dressed to the nines in a gold gown and black tux, suits the vintage-loving bride who’s wearing Grandma’s veil and Aunt Helen’s brooch.

And a whimsical paper doll version, crafted from millinery flowers, paper and German glass glitter, is a nod to old Hollywood glamour.

For a different feel, we found a set of hip, minimalist wooden figurines that can go from cake to mantel as a wedding-day

keepsake. They can even be custom-made to approximate your likeness. Or mix and match pedastals, figurines and other garnishes to create a one-of-a-kind topper for your special day.

FINE AND CANDY Have your cake topper — and eat it, too! Some of the prettiest ornaments for your top tier also happen to be pretty delicious.

Garnish your cake with an edible candy dish — and fill it with even more candy. It’s a sugar fiend’s dream. Or, for the perfect touch at an afternoon wedding, fill a ladylike teacup with Jordan almonds and set it on the top tier.

A cascading adornment of marzipan fruit — try a winsome clutch of cherries — looks especially lush at an outdoor affair.

Seersucker stands up to time and temperature

By Christina Bolling

Of The Charlotte Observer (Charlotte, N.C.)

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Done right, the seersucker suit is the quintessential model of Southern sophistication.

Done wrong, or in the wrong setting, and you look like a displaced member of a barbershop quartet.

Preppy, ivy-league looks are hot this summer. The lean seersucker suit and well-tailored seersucker separates fit in perfectly with the iconic American sportswear look.

Women’s sportswear designers have turned a spot-light on seersucker this season, even down to the seersucker one- and two-piece bathing suits offered

by J.Crew.

“It’s a hugely important fabric for summer wear,” said Bruce Julian of Bruce Julian Clothiers in Charlotte, N.C.’s Arboretum shopping center.

“One of the best things about it is that it’s got an inherent wrinkle to it. As long as you’ve got a crease in the trousers — even an OK one — you’re good,” Julian says. “That’s why it’s always been such a popular suit in the South, because it doesn’t show wrinkles.”

Seersucker is a good wardrobe investment piece because it makes an appearance every year, says Sarah Collins, associate chairwoman of fashion for the Atlanta campus of the Savannah College of Art and Design.

“It’s something you’ll see every spring and summer, and it won’t date itself,” Collins says.

“A nice pencil skirt in seersucker or a somewhat-fitted jacket will probably last a long time.”

Seersucker is woven with a

The fabric has origins in 18th-century India. The name was derived from the Persian compound “shirushakar,” which translates to “milk and sugar,” Come and Meet presumably to describe the fabric’s texture.

Larry Hayes of Weddington, N.C., says he’ll never forget catching his first glimpse of a man wearing a seersucker suit Saturday, October 30, 2010 when he moved from New York at the Red Lion Hotel to Maryland about 20 years ago.

groom style born in the early 1900s when a New Orleans tailor, Joseph Haspel, took the cloth normally used for laborers’ overalls and used it for high-end business wear.

“He knew it was going to be functional as well as fashionable,” said Haspel’s great granddaughter, Laurie Haspel Aronson, president of the 100year-old Haspel clothing line in Baton Rouge, La. To popularize the suits, Haspel began selling them to young, up-and-coming Ivy League students, Aronson says. They loved the suits’ look and comfort, and when they took them back to campus, the look caught on.

In 1946, Haspel created a media buzz during a fashion trade show by wading into the Atlantic Ocean wearing one of his trademark blue and white F

groom style seersucker suits. As reporters watched, he hung the suit up to dry, then put it on for a cocktail party that evening.

The “wash and wear” suit was born.

Chockey Kassem, owner of Chockey’s Men’s Designer Fashions in Raleigh, says it’s OK not to go full dandy if you’re wary of the head-to-toe seersucker look.

“It becomes less attorneylooking when you break it down and wear the pants by themselves with a nice linen shirt,” Kassem says. Seersucker pieces in nontraditional colors like green or pink also change the look, he says.

Lawyer Geoff Simmons, a longtime Chockey’s shopper, strives to distinguish himself from the other seersucker-wearing lawyers. The natty dresser, who will only pull out seersucker when it’s hotter than 90 degrees, says he moved from wearing his light blue seersucker when the color became too prevalent among his peers, then did the same when the gray became popular. On this day, he has on a Photo courtesy of Sunshine Cakes tan seersucker suit, paired with Cole Haan bucks with a pointed straw-hat. wear a dark suit whenever posrather than a rounded toe, and a “I believe a lawyer should sible, but when it’s hot and you

have to have a jacket on, it’s the most comfortable suit you can have,” he says.

——— This season, clothiers are offering tea-stained seersucker pieces that soften the look. For women, there are even more choices with labels like Spiegel offering stretch, body-conforming seersucker in everything from walking shorts to duster jackets.

Charlotte lawyer Turner Herbert says seersucker has gone so mainstream across the country that he no longer turns heads when wearing it on business trips to cities such as Chicago or New York.

“When I traveled to other offices ... I used to feel I was being stereotyped as a Southern lawyer,” says Herbert, 34. “Now you’re just as likely to see it in New York as Birmingham.”

Raleigh lobbyist Mark Ezzell, once a reluctant suit wearer, bought his first seersucker suit two months ago. He is now fully on board, saying seersucker should be in every Southern man’s wardrobe.

“It’s the fabric of the gods,” he says.

“I create from the Heart and give everything to my business.”

Bridal style sonic cleansing brush. It’s also a good idea to apply an antioxidant serum first thing in the morning, like SkinCeuticals ferulic acid, and to use an antiaging cream at night. Kinerase Ultra Rich Night Repair is one of my favorites. Brides should also avoid harsh treatments like chemical peels and waxing during the last month before the wedding. It’s just too risky.

Q: What are some of the top in-office procedures that brides are asking for these days?

A: Intense pulsed light treatments are one of the most popular. They dramatically improve brown spots and visible blood vessels by reducing redness and blotchiness in the skin. Usually a series of treatments is required.

Since most patients wait four to six weeks between sequential treatments, these should be started at least four months before the wedding. Brides who only have ruddy skin or a few visible blood vessels can opt for more limited treatments with lasers. A microdermabrasion or light peel series — one every four weeks starting three or four months before the wedding — can also improve skin clarity and pore size.

there any way to prevent a nervous rash from creeping up?

A: If you’re prone to blotchy skin, take an antihistamine like Claritin, Zyrtec or Benadryl at bedtime starting a few nights before the wedding. Just be sure to give it a trial run two weeks in advance so you know how it will affect you.

Q: What about those bachelorette Botox parties: fun and festive, or really scary?

There’s nothing more romantic than building your big day around colors that celebrate your future. Incorporate “precious” metals into your palette to represent milestone wedding anniversaries: copper for seven years, silver for 25 and gold for 50.

need to add is a little sparkle.

Try spritzing chrysanthemums with gold and silver floral paint.

Then coat the edges of button mums, daisies and carnations with spray adhesive and dip the blooms into metallic glitter. Tie a long stretch of ribbon in a loose bow around the bouquet to complete the look. “Two yards is the perfect amount to wrap a bouquet and have a bow with long tails,” notes Martha Stewart Weddings’ style director, Kate Berry.

The same techniques that illuminated your bouquet and guest-book display can be applied to your tables at the reception. Arrange bunches of glimmering flowers in gold-flecked vases and place a silver table number sticker on each vessel.

Then surround each one with smaller gold-leaf votives.

SET THE STAGE For a simple yet elegant touch, turn your guest-book display into a radiant focal point.

Create a gold-leaf effect on glass hurricane lamps by using a spray adhesive to affix candy wrappers with silver backing to the outsides. Then pop in pillar candles to give the lamps a warm, inviting glow alongside your guest book.

Burnished paper and foil tapes can provide decorative dash to both escort cards and favor boxes (while also holding them up or securing them down, respectively). Here, a little bit of effort — and a minuscule portion of your budget — can have a major impact.

Or create a slick display by affixing vinyl Helvetica number stickers to calligraphed ivory escort cards. Add a strip of metallic tape to the sides, top or both, and secure the cards (in alphabetical order) to a piece of heavyweight silver-colored poster board with tape set on the diagonal. For an artistic touch, use a craft knife to create slits and tuck the corners of some cards into the board.

for the shower

Add some spring to your soiree with floral favors that keep on giving.

SEW SWEET Encourage loved ones to dig in — literally. For cute place settings that will grow and grow after your wedding, fill tiny packets with the seeds of your favorite flower, and stitch them onto simply printed seating cards for your guests to take home.

BRIGHT BULBS Create a boundless field of tulips with sweet favors that double as place cards. Nestle tulip bulbs in votive candleholders with enough water to cover the roots, then add paper blooms and a vellum seat assignment to each one.

for the shower made labels to each one: names and date on the front, and simple planting instructions on the back.

MIX AND MATCH Matchbooks may have become a common wedding favor, but here’s a clever new twist on an old standby: Instead of matches, tuck sachets of forget-me-not seeds into personalized matchbook covers. Long after the big day, your guests will watch the dainty blossoms — and the memories — spring to life.

COMING UP ROSES There’s nothing more romantic than the rose — this symbol of love and affection has stood the test of time. Miniature rose bushes make for especially adorable favors that, once planted, will produce blooms for years to come. To make gardening even simpler for your guests, present the blossoms in plantable pots.

SUNNY SIDE UP Bright, cheery daffodils herald spring’s arrival. Look for budding bulbs at your local nursery and place each one in a sake cup, propping it up with small decorative rocks. To turn these buds into take-home favors, use a rubber stamp to imprint planting instructions onto little wooden posts that can be slid into the cups alongside the green shoots.

HERBAL REMEDY To infuse a bit of flavor into your table arrangements, plant fresh herbs in small pots for your centerpieces. Deep green oregano, basil and tarragon will lend an organic feel to even the most modern decor. Wrap a suggested menu around each pot to highlight foods that will put that herb’s virtues to good use.

honeymoon travel

Honeymoons don’t have to cost a mortgage After all of the stress that comes with planning and preparing a wedding, most couples head off to a resort for some much-needed R&R. The locales couples choose to spend their honeymoon are as varied as the couples themselves. While many couples head for a seaside resort, others choose adventurous getaways to such places as the Alaskan wilderness.

Whichever destination couples choose to spend their first vacation as husband and wife, one thing all couples can count is the cost. More specifically, the high cost of the honeymoon is something to count on. However, not all honeymoons need to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways couples can save substantial amounts of money while still enjoying their first getaway as a married couple. l Research where you’ll be staying. Oftentimes, hotels offer luxury at a very high price.

Particularly in locales where many couples spend their honeymoon, such accommodations can be quite costly. However, savvy couples might be able to circumvent costly hotel accommodations if they do their research early. Bed and breakfasts (B&B), for example, often range from practical to ultraluxurious, and tend to cost a fraction of what luxury hotels charge. Many couples actually prefer B&Bs, feeling they’re more charming and cozy.

One thing to be diligent about with respect to B&Bs is the size of the accommodations, most notably the bedding. Not Ridinger’s — The Art of Photography all B&Bs provide king or even l Consider traveling dur- the most popular seasons to queen-size bedding, and some the B&B as to each room’s acmight not provide private bath- commodations before making a ing the “off” season.

Here are some common statistics.

25: The average age of a firsttime bride.

175: Average number of guests invited to a wedding.

75: Percentage of brides who will receive a diamond engagement ring.

2.4: Number, in millions, of weddings performed in the United States each year.

16: Average number of months for an American engagement.

15: Percentage of weddings that include ethnic customs.

12: Average size of the wedding party.

fall to get married. While the months of June and July remain the most popular, September and October weddings have grown in popularity for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the aesthetic appeal of the fall seasons.

Another advantage to a fall

Photos by Kyle J wedding is the opportunity for couples to save money on their honeymoon by traveling during the “off” season. Peak season at beachside resorts is typically the summer months, and rates are therefore higher. However, traveling to a resort during the “off” season can save substan-

tial amounts of money, and the weather will no doubt still be beautiful. What’s more, local business will most likely boast better deals as well, and the resort will not be as crowded as it typically is during peak season. l Consider a cruise. Cruises might seem more expensive at

first glance, but many cruises offer all-inclusive deals, wherein food and beverages are all paid for, and entertainment is provided. And since the cruise already has an itinerary planned, it’s a nice break from all the planning that went into the wedding.

ing your wedding look. What should brides expect at this appointment?

A: I like to discuss everything from starting a good skin-care regimen to brow shaping and lash enhancements. I always offer brides the option to see half of their face the way they would normally wear it and the other half made up.

A: Come in with pictures of looks you like and photos of you where you felt you looked your best. Also bring a swatch of your dress and a camera. I like to take pictures from a few different angles in dim, bright, and natural lighting.

When clients come to me for class, I prefer they bring their own makeup so that I can teach them how to apply it. Lessons are especially helpful for brides on a budget or those planning a destination wedding.

Q: What do you say to the Q: What if a bride wants to bride who doesn’t want to wear makeup? do her own makeup? Is it best A: “Are you crazy? It’s your to leave it to the pros? wedding.”

Bridal style Q: How should brides care for their skin in the months leading up to the wedding?

A: Beauty begins from the inside out, so increase your water intake, and remember to cleanse and use a moisturizer with sunscreen daily. To avoid breakouts and bad reactions, don’t try anything new three months before the day. And see a reputable skin-care specialist for treatments, such as facials and peels, if needed.

Q: Any good home remedies to use in a pinch?

A: Rub a mix of brown sugar and honey onto your lips — it’s my favorite exfoliant. For a hydrating skin mask, I apply aloe vera straight from the plant, then rinse it off after 10 or 15 minutes.

Q: How do you feel about spray tans?

A: I get them frequently myself, but they ’re not for everyone. On very pale skin, even subtle color can look unnatural. The key is to do a trial run at least two months before the wedding to determine the tone you want, and to get a feel for how long it lasts.

Q: You’re the go-to girl for faux lashes. What options are available?

A: There are so many different types, from natural to glamorous to totally over the top. Temporary strips will last through the night, while semipermanent extensions won’t budge for up to two months.

Angie Movius Photography flatters your skin. On the eyes, use a shadow that accentuates your irises. Lavender and plum make green and blue eyes pop, while metallic colors like copper and gold look really amazing on brown eyes.

Q: Any beauty tips for the honeymoon?

A: Keep it simple. Lash extensions are great, and they eliminate the need for mascara. For daytime, try coral cream blush and a lip stain, and use a hydrating mist for dewy skin. Heat things up at night with a deeper lip color and bronzer.
