Plan a perfect outdoor wedding with no worries about unpredictable weather!

Weddings at SpringBreak Garden Centre with catering by Country Encounters provide the beauty of an outdoor wedding, dining in the sunshine and dancing under the stars.

All with none of the worry about Crowsnest Pass weather.

It’s easy to make your special day perfect – call us to learn how!www.mountainweddings.ca

By Shannon RobinAt a young age, many girls start dreaming of

meeting their prince and walking down the aisle to a perfect wedding. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but can also be tons of fun.

The most important thing is to be organized. Our Wedding Extravaganza edition is a tool

to connect you with area merchants who make it their business to create memorable weddings.

Using the services of an experienced wedding planner can save time and worry as you tackle the wedding to-do list. Planners offer support and peace of mind while creating the day you’ve dreamed of. Consider WED Wedding and Event Decorating to co-ordinate all aspects of your wedding.

Once you’ve determined the size of your guest list and budget, the first step is to secure your venues and officiants.

Ceremonies can be held in churches, halls, banquet rooms, specialty venues and the beautiful outdoor spaces that surround us. Be prepared to pay a deposit with your booking.

The theme of your wedding will determine the type of space you want to investigate. You may need more than one location to accommodate the service, reception, dinner and dance.

Consider the Bayshore Inn Resort and Spa, Castle Mountain Resort, Heritage Acres Farm Museum, Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village,

Pincher Creek Clubhouse Restaurant, Pincher Creek Legion, SpringBreak Garden Centre and Unique Art Antique to host your festivities.

Some offer all-in-one services while others focus on specialty services. Each has a distinct atmosphere, whether you’ll be indoors or outside, and all offer great packages.

If you only need tables and chairs, consider Ken Clinton to provide these for you.

Are you nervous yet? The date is set!Choosing wedding rings is a personal experi-

ence – your ring is a symbol of marriage you’ll wear every day. Take time to browse until you find rings you truly love. Allow plenty of time for them to be sent off for custom sizing.

Consider Naturally Wood Rings to share knowledge and a selection of rings to match your personality and budget.

What style of wedding dress have you dreamed of?

Trends for 2014 include delicate lace sleeves, detailed backs with keyholes, architectural pleating and contemporary trains, layers of tulle, cascading ruffles, eye-catching embellishments and sparkles, and above-the-knee dresses. At least that’s what one source says.

You’ll know you’ve found “the dress” when you step out of the dressing room in a gown that makes you feel more beautiful than you’ve felt before. And, when your mom starts to cry.

On the other hand, your ideal dress may be one perfectly preserved and accented with sentimentality. Some of our mothers and grand-mothers wore stunning dresses, and you may have tried one on many times in anticipation of being a bride yourself.

Consider what you’d like your bridal party to wear in terms of colour and style. Imagine what will make these important women look and feel spectacular, and try to find a dress that will flatter everyone. An alternative is to choose the colour and let each bridesmaid find something that works for her body type.

Consider Bonnie’s Fashions and Ruffles Boutique for semi-formal styles, shoes, jewelry and accessories for the bride, bridal party and everyone wanting to look their best on your wed-ding day. You can also special-order dress wear for the groom, flower girl and ring bearer from Bonnie’s.

While many moments of your wedding day will be etched in your memory forever, you’ll want to check out the portfolios of local photographers to capture these moments in liv-ing colour. Choose a photographer whose work shows imagination and creativity, in the style you desire.

Consider Katalily Photography of Crowsnest Pass or Mill Canyon Photography of Pincher

Creek to look after recording the day for you. These ladies are busy, so book well in advance.

What type of atmosphere would you like to create for your reception? You might choose a formal dinner or a picnic in the mountains. The pos-sibilities are endless.

If you’re planning on a dance with live music or a DJ, make time to check out possibilities through YouTube to ensure they play the type of music you’re after, and most importantly that they play it well. Book early – the best bands get snapped up fast.

Once you’ve thought about the menu, you’ll need to book a caterer. Consider Country Encounters or Perfect Party Planners for delicious meals made to your specifications, and mobile catering options. You’ll find they offer varied menus along with signature dishes and desserts.

Consider the Pincher Creek Co-op or Sobeys Blairmore to provide plat-ters and buns for your midnight lunch and pre-wedding festivities.

Do ask your guests if they have any food sensitivities that may need consideration. They will be most grateful, and many caterers are happy to offer specialty items such as gluten-free dishes.

To complement a fine meal, you may choose to offer a variety of wines, spirits and beer to your guests. Consider A & B Liquor or Greg’s Liquor & Cold Beer Store to look after your needs and permits.

Speaking of paperwork, you’ll also need to purchase a wedding licence from an agency, such as Pincher License & Registry, within three months of your wedding date. Consider Michael Sternloff as an Alberta marriage com-missioner if you are not using clergy services.

To create the perfect decor at your ceremony and reception, you’ll need to think about bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, sprays, table decorations, tablecloths and linens, chair covers and accessories. Consider C&D Floral to look after your floral and decorating needs.

Whether you’d like a formal, tiered cake or something that expresses your individuality, the sky is the limit with creativity. Trust Crazy Cakes to come up with unique ideas and bake a tasty cake to your specifications.

There are many options for invitations, programs and thank-you cards, including doing it yourself. Consider Shootin’ the Breeze to assist you with putting your style on paper.

Your guests will appreciate knowing where you are registered for wed-ding gifts. Everyone is interested in choosing from a variety of ideas they know you will love. Consider Christine’s Gift Shop, Crow Works Engraving or Princess House Canada when selecting registry items, choosing gifts for your bridal party and selecting wedding favours for your guests.

Out-of-town invitees will appreciate exceptional accommodation suggestions in the area. Whether it’s camping, large group rentals or a western-themed adventure, consider contacting Crowsnest Pass Holiday Homes for booking assistance.

Are you getting stressed? Why not take some time out to relax and be pampered. Local salons and spas offer a variety of services and you can make hairdressing appointments at the same time at some locations.

Consider visiting Crowsnest Vein & Laser Clinic, Health Connection Inc. or Providence Salon & Spa and know you’ll come away spoiled and feeling like a million bucks.

This is also the perfect time to pay attention to your smile. Consider the dentists at Creekside Dental or Dentalworks to ensure your pearly whites are dazzling for your big day.

Your bridal party will plan a wedding shower and you’ll be treated like a queen by family and friends in the community.

They may choose to have a themed party, and there are many awesome options for housewares and even some naughty stuff. These independent consultants will assist you in setting up a registry and ordering gifts you’re most interested in. Consider Epicure, Passion Parties or Tupperware for a bridal shower led by an experienced consultant.

Your hubby-to-be will also be ready for a night out with the guys for his bachelor party. Consider the Boston Pizza lounge to host a great evening for him and his friends.

Are you planning a honeymoon? Whether you are planning a trip nearby or to an exotic location, a travel agent can make sure all arrange-ments are in place for your journey. Remember to allow ample time for your

travel agent to put together a package for you and to check the dates on your passports.

As the big day approaches, personalize your service by planning for readers, musicians, attendants and other special touches. Make sure each person is comfortable with their role, and delegate reliable people to look after specific details.

Choose your vows carefully and decide whether or not to memorize them. Plan your thank-you speech carefully, and ask friends and family members to perform toasts. Bear in mind that short and sweet is always appreciated.

Take full advantage of your rehearsal to work through any glitches that pop up. All questions are good ones – when you leave the rehearsal you should be confident that everything is in place for the following day.

Have trial runs with those who will be providing services on your wed-ding day so you know your hair, makeup and nails will turn out exactly as you envision. Consider Headlines Unisex Hair Design, JAX Barbershop, MOSAIC Makeup Artistry and Redneck Sexy Esthetics to provide these services.

Knowing that everything necessary for a perfect day has been looked after, make it a priority to get a good night’s sleep!

Your wedding day will be jam-packed and you will be beautifully decked out from head to toe. Expect laughter, tears and many heartfelt moments.

Your smile will never be more beautiful or more radiant than when you walk down the aisle.

One last piece of advice: This is not an all-inclusive list, so make your own timeline, using this as a basic guide.

Check out the services provided by the businesses in these 11 pages, and hang onto this supplement for future reference. The entire special edition, complete with interactive links, will also be available on our website at www.shootinthebreeze.ca under Special Editions.

When it’s all said and done, share a photo from your special day in the pages of Shootin’ the Breeze.
