W hi le your wedding should be the happiest day of your life, it can also

be the happiest day for your kitchen. With a well-planned registry, you’ll be enjoying the fun, creativity and bonding of cooking together at home for years to come.

From leisurely weekend breakfasts to ro-mantic dinners and toasts to cap off the day. A wedding registry should reflect how you really live. Not everyone focuses their social life on formal dinner parties with the kind of fine china, silverware and crystal found on traditional wedding registries. Today they reflect current lifestyles with new twists and trends.

Selecting gifts at a variety of price points is both good etiquette and good strategy. Big-ticket items give guests the opportunity for a grand gesture, and they also make great group gifts. Be sure to include moderately priced items that are appealing and distinc-tive, so that everyone can feel good about what they give.

Create an on-trend registry The growler is becoming a new must-

have for those who love locally brewed craft beer. Created for filling with craft beer, the Reduce Vacuum Growler features double wall insulation that protects the beverage for full flavor enjoyment at just the right tempera-ture. Teatime is now cool, because 85 percent

of the tea consumed in America is iced, ac-cording to The Tea Association of the USA. One to consider is an iced tea maker that offers a fully customizable iced tea brewing

experience from either loose tea or tea bags. The Capresso Iced Tea Maker lets you adjust to taste from regular to extra strong, and it brews into a beautiful 80-ounce glass pitcher. Pepper and salt mills are focal points on

the counter or the table, in addition to being everyday essentials. A unique choice that ties into popular decor trends is the Collection Antique from Peugeot, which combines iconic shapes with rustic aged beech wood. Designed and produced in France, these are keepsake mills with a lifetime warranty on the mechanisms. The wok has evolved into a versatile

everyday pan for quickly prepared meals with delicious, fresh ingredients. You should look

for a high quality nonstick wok engineered to professional grade standards. The Kyocera 12.5-inch Nonstick Wok with Lid features an exclusive ceramic nonstick coating and can be used for braising, pan-frying, roasting, searing and stir-frying. Coffee lovers appreciate a true bean-to-

cup experience and who wouldn’t want a pro-fessional-style coffee bar in their own home? The JURA IMPRESSA C60 produces specialty coffee beverages in a flash. A high-performance conical burr grinder and fine foam technol-ogy for feather-like milk foam help make this machine the choice for happy couples.

The season couples choose to get mar-

ried can affect many as-pects of their ceremonies and celebrations. Vendors are in high demand during popular wedding seasons like spring and summer. But those same vendors may be more flexible

and less expensive during those times of year when fewer couples tie the knot.

Wedding dates can affect wedding costs considerably, and knowing this can help couples find the date that works best for them and their budgets.

Value datesGetting mar-ried in the early part of the year can be a more budget-friendly option for cost-

conscious

couples. Prices for reception sites and vendors may be lower in January and March than during other times of the year. However, Febru-ary may not be so budget-friendly thanks to Valentine’s Day. December also may not garner significant discounts thanks to the holiday sea-son, when vendors may be in high demand for holiday parties.

Local eventsPopular local events, such as

festivals, large-scale meetings and conventions, can intrude

on wedding plans. Consult with a local chamber of com-merce and local schools to see if any local events might drive up the cost of your wedding. Reunions or conventions can stretch nearby restaurants, hotels and reception sites pretty thin.

Have backup options

Recognize that if you want to get married on a Saturday at the height of wedding season, you may not get first choice on your venues and vendors. Have a list of service providers at the ready just in case your first choices are already booked.

Couples have many options at their dis-posal regarding transportation on their

wedding days.Limousines continue to be popular choices,

but other vehicles may also fit your needs. According to The Wedding Report, a research company that tracks wedding trends, the size of the average wedding party has grown, which means a greater number of people may need a ride to the festivities. But couples also must decide how they will get to and from their ceremony.

Options to consider: Take it to the water. If you’re having a

lakeside or seaside wedding, taking a water route to and from your ceremony can make for a dramatic entrance. And afterward, you can coast off into the sunset. Vessel options include speedboats, yachts or something more intimate, such as canoes or rowboats. Arrive like royalty. Take a page out of a

favorite fairy tale and arrive in a horse-drawn carriage. Carriages can typically fit between two and six passengers. If you cannot find a carriage, consider pedicabs or bicycle-

drawn buggies as an alternative. This makes for the most romantic of exits for the newly married couple. Step out of

a classic movie. Vintage cars can make a statement. Although you may immediately think of a Rolls Royce, consider cars that embody your personal style. Rugged couples may want a classic pickup truck, while those who live life in the fast lane may

prefer a vintage sports car. Take the party on the road. Moving a

large number of people in the wedding party takes forethought. Party buses and SUV lim-ousines can fit a substantial number of pas-sengers, making them a more cost-effective option for large bridal parties. These vehicles may be equipped with party lights, impressive sound systems and even minibars.

Couples on the verge of tying the knot spend lots of time

hoping their wedding days go off without a hitch. The threat of rain drops or temporarily misplaced rings

can make couples feel that the hands of fate are casting bad

luck on the proceedings, but couples need not worry.

Superstitions are not always negative, and there are many

things thought to bestow

good luck on couples about to be-come husband and wife.

The following are some of the more popular harbingers of good luck couples can look for on their wedding days.

Rain: Rain signifies various things in different cultures, and many of those amount to a dose of good fortune for a wedding. Rain can repre-sent fertility, suggesting that couples will have many children. Rain also can signify cleansing and renewal or the washing away of past ills.

Sugar: Many Greeks believe tuck-ing a sugar cube into your glove will mean a sweet union between the newly betrothed.

Coins: In Sweden, a bride puts a silver coin from her father and a gold coin from her mother in each shoe so she will never have to go without.

Unpleasant things: Egyp-tian women may pinch the bride on her wedding day for good luck. The English believe finding a spider in your wedding dress means good luck.

Bells: Bells may chime

at Irish weddings to keep evil spirits away and ensure a harmonious fam-ily life. Some brides also will tuck small bells into their bouquets.

Day: Some cultures view certain days as luckier than others for getting married. English tradition suggested Wednesday was the best day for getting married, with Monday weddings bringing wealth and Tuesday events bringing good health. English folklore states that Saturday is the unluckiest day to tie the knot.

Many traditions are in place to keep bad spirits away from wedding proceedings and ensure good luck. Middle Eastern brides, for example, paint henna on their hands and feet to protect themselves. The tradition of the groom carrying his bride over the threshold is to protect her from evil spirits lurking below.

Good luck charms vary depending on culture and geography. Several superstitions have withstood the test of time and can give brides and grooms a little more security on their wedding days.

For All Your Wedding Needs


As a rite of passage, the bachelorette party has long gotten a bum rap. Stereotypes persist of the bride’s night-before-the-

wedding gathering as a ladies-only version of the raucous bachelor party. Yet the truth is, a growing number of brides crave a tasteful, relaxing and deeply personal send-off for their single days.

In fact, a relaxing getaway ranked high as an ideal bachelorette party for 59 percent of brides-to-be in the Ultimate Bridesmaids Census, 67 percent wanted dinner, dancing and time spent with their closest friends, and 23 percent wanted something non-traditional that really reflected their personal interests.

Five bridal shower ideasSpa time — Parties are looking for spas that offer a comprehensive

list of salon services, familiar and new massages and body treatments, and easy access to luxury accommodations.

Great food — Modern bachelorette groups are looking for din-ing options that are luxurious and delicious, or that accommodate lifestyle needs such as gluten-free or low-calorie diets.

Bonding activities — From yoga classes and golf outings to wine and chocolate pairings, brides-to-be are looking for more diverse, sophisticated activities they can do with their girlfriends.

A location “away from it all” — Nearly a third of respondents in the Bridesmaid Census said they didn’t want to go crazy for a bach-elorette party, they just wanted to enjoy time with their friends.

Personalization — 23 percent of surveyed brides said they wanted a bachelorette party that was deeply personal and tailored to their individual tastes and interests.

While many brides opt to take their husbands’ surnames

upon getting married, through the years the popularity of such a deci-sion has ebbed and flowed. Recent years have suggested the practice is once again gaining steam.

A 2011 study published in “Names: A Journal of Onomas-

tics” indicates younger brides are more likely to embrace the tradition of taking their husbands’ names in marriage. According to the study, women who married between the ages of 35 and 39 were 6.4 times more likely to keep their maiden names than those who married between the ages of 20 and 24.

Many brides view taking their spouse’s name as the natural transition from being a singleton to being a married woman. Other brides prefer they share the same last name as their future children, making the choice to take their husband’s name a logical decision. Some brides feel having the same last name as their husbands helps them feel more like a family.

Changing one’s name also may make it easier to deal with various issues. Finances, travel and even parenting concerns may be easier when women take their husbands’ last names.

But some brides still prefer to keep their maiden names or hyphenate those names with their husbands’ surnames. Some may view changing their names as sacrificing their personal identities, while others may want to hold on

to a family name they are proud of. Interesting names also can be hard to give up. Brides who find taking their husband’s name would be a tongue-twister may prefer to forego this tradition.

Very often women who occupy positions of prominence in their professions keep their maiden names, feeling that taking their husbands’ names will affect the cache they have built up thus far. Women uncertain of what to do in such situations can keep their maiden names professionally and still change their names legally.

Changing one’s last name is a personal preference and a deci-sion that couples should discuss together. Discuss the decision well in advance of the wedding so that both parties are aware of each other’s feelings on the subject before they say ‘I do’.

10 Wedding Planner September 2015

Y ou faithfully recycle at home, use a refill-

able BPA-free water bottle and charge your smartphone with a solar recharger. When it’s time to choose wedding favors for your own nuptials you may find environmental awareness taking a backseat to style?

It doesn’t have to.It’s possible to give wedding

favors that are natural, respon-sible and useful — items every-one can feel good about giving and receiving. Kitchen-related products commonly appear on many wedding registry lists, and creative couples often dis-tribute small pieces of kitchen ware as favors to their guests.

Food-inspired favors

Every cook can benefit from a well-stocked spice rack. Purchasing spices from a bulk store can save money and gives you the opportunity to cre-ate special spice containers for guests that go along with your wedding theme. Think outside

the box when choosing a spice to ensure people don’t have five in their cupboard already.

Gardening is a popular activity. Give guests seeds to grow in their garden. This favor gives them a chance to think of your special event for a long time to come. Spring wed-ding? Think snap peas or green beans. Summer wedding? Think hot peppers or tomatoes. Fall wedding? Think pumpkins or squash.

Tea is a soothing and sophisticated beverage that can make a great wedding favor. Simply purchase heart-shaped tea infusers and fill them with a variety of loose teas, such as chamomile, peppermint, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, or black, green or white teas. Accent the favor with a ribbon in your wedding colors.

Grilling is a great American past-time. If your wedding will take place in spring or summer, grilling marinades or barbecue sauces can make a great and original favor with flavor.

Dealing with cold feetOften thought of as an emotion that

“comes with the territory” when decid-ing to get married, cold feet can actually be a very difficult issue for brides to work through.

Some people may believe they are jump-ing into marriage too early in the relation-ship, while others may have a hard time handling the stress of planning a wedding. No matter where the anxiety is coming from, it is important to take an honest look at the issue and deal with it accord-ingly — even if that means calling off the wedding.

Identify your issueAre you dreading the end of your single

life because of the potential of missing out on parties, social events or time with friends? Do you associate being

married with being old? Are attributes about your future spouse that drive you crazy coming to light?

Once you identify what is freezing your feet, you can work on thawing them with the help of your friends and family. While some issues may be able to be worked out between you and your spouse-to-be, hopefully you feel comfortable to open up to those around you for advice.

Talk to married couplesOne of the best ways to get advice

about cold feet is to talk with a couple you know that has been happily married for a long time. They will be able to guide you through the actual wedding experience and give you practical advice for handling your big day. If you are struggling with the marriage aspect of your wedding, ask your married friends

how they rate their lives before and after tying the knot. Are they happier? Regretful? Gather as much advice and real experiences as you can to help paint yourself a visual expectation of the mar-riage process.

Serious reasons to bailWhile some cold feet can be attributed

to stress and nerves, some are actually caused by serious factors that should not be ignored. If you or someone you know is experiencing verbal or physical abuse leading up to the wedding, then it is time to consider pulling the plug on the engagement.

Other issues that can crop up now and get worse later: Cheating, emotional dis-connection, fights about money, lying, religious differences and wildly varying outlooks on raising children.

Is it just nerves?

Many elements combine to make tradi-tional wedding receptions

special.But many veteran wedding guests

would agree that the right playlist once guests hit the reception hall dance floor can turn an ordinary wedding reception into something far more memorable.

The majority of couples choose between a live band and a disc jockey to provide the music for their wedding receptions. Entertainment is often one of the more memorable aspects of a wedding reception, as the right band or disc jockey can help to establish a jovial mood that makes it easy for everyone to have a good time.

Couples should know they have a say in which songs are played. In addition, couples can have a “no play” playlist to prohibit cer-tain songs they dislike from being played.

Consider the following: Begin by making a list of your favorite

songs. Make this list during different days and at different times so you get a good cross-

section of your favorite tunes. But remember not every song is a good fit for a wedding reception.

Aim to get as many guests on the dance floor as possible. Well-known songs and upbeat dance music will inspire more guests to cut a rug than lesser known tunes you may be fond of. Music that spans the decades and various genres will appeal to guests from all age groups.

Avoid songs that are difficult to dance to. If your favorite songs fit that bill but you still want to hear them on your wedding, ask the DJ or band to play them during the cocktail hour or while everyone is eating dinner.

Get input from your music vendor. Disc jockeys and bands have no doubt performed at many a wedding before yours, and they may have a better feel for crowds than you do.

FROM MARTHA STEWART WEDDINGS

Unexpected drinks can make your wedding day even more unique. Craft

bartender Tom Richter serves up ways to get creative — without breaking the bank.

Do a punch bowl“Delicious big-batch drinks are becoming more

popular, and for good reason. Punches can be made ahead of time, so bar service moves faster, and the bowls they’re displayed in can be beautiful. They also help cut costs because you can use less-expensive liquors when you’re mixing. For a gin-based punch, for example, go with Gordon’s London dry, Beefeater or Bombay regular. Once you add juices and other flavors, you’re not going to really taste the spirit much anyway.”

Set out pitchers“Similarly, anything served from a pitcher is a time-saver.

A Collins cocktail is a good bet — it’s just gin, simple syrup, lemon juice and seltzer. Add an extra element like tea, and you have something more interesting. Then garnish with a few different herbs and fruits to make the pitchers look even more enticing sitting on tables.”

Create your own blend“If you want to serve something stirred

where the booze is prominent, such as a Tattletale [scotch, honey, bitters], buy the

best scotch you can afford and mix it with a blended one. If you’re aiming to serve 100 people

three drinks apiece, add two parts top-shelf to one part blended, and you’ll need about 20 bottles of the

good stuff instead of 30, without tasting the differ-ence.”

Go old school“Hand-cut ice, well-crafted cocktails, brown spirits like

whiskey — all have seen an uptick as people want that ‘Mad Men’ cocktail-culture experience. For instance, many women’s go-to drink now is the Old-Fashioned or manhat-tan. With that in mind, offer classics that feel season-appro-priate, like a refreshing cobbler in warm weather, or a spicy Buck cocktail — which is basically your spirit of choice plus ginger beer — on a cool fall evening.”

W hen dreaming up your wedding, take a style cue from floral designer Jackie

Reisenauer, of Minneapolis’s Munster Rose. She brings a minimalist, Scandinavian sen-sibility to arrangements and decor, enlisting simple shapes and splashes of vibrant color.

For brides on a budget, Reisenauer suggests sticking to one or two floral centerpieces (instead of four) and filling out the tablescape

with inexpensive items grouped en masse. “Candles of varying heights and shapes have a huge impact,” she said. “And as a winter fruit, citrus is plentiful and economical, and it brings in bright color.”

Let there be scentKeep the fragrant flowers for the

bouquet. Keep any centerpiece flowers smaller with little to no scent as it can interfere with food flavors and may cause guests with al-lergies to be uncom-fortable.

Color comes in many shades

While flowers can add a splash of color there are other way to create a bold and color-

ful centerpiece without depending on large brilliant bouquets on each table.

Variety is the spiceRoses are a traditional flower choice for wed-

dings but don’t rule out floral bushes like rho-dodendrons. Also a simple cut from a flowering tree can be just the right thing to complete the look you want.

Whatever floral arrangements you choose keep in mind they should be used to enhance the overall mood and theme of your special day.

Let us handle all of your travel needs. From airline tickets, to cruises, hotels, car rentals and even destination weddings & honeymoon registry.

Engagement ring purchases are usually a solo endeavor, with the groom having an

idea of the ring style and color his bride-to-be prefers. But couples usually shop for their wed-ding ring sets together, and such excursions can be special and meaningful.

Like many decisions couples make when planning their weddings, choosing rings comes

down to personal preference. There are no steadfast rules when it comes to purchasing wedding rings, but some guidelines can make shopping far easier.

As couples prepare to shop for rings, it can help for each person to list the attributes he or she would like in a ring. This should include the type of metal, color, width and even cost. Couples may find they have different preferenc-es, and this is perfectly fine, as wedding rings do

not have to match.A wedding band should complement the

engagement ring but not be a perfect match. An ornate engagement ring might look better with a simple band, and vice-versa. Similarly cut gemstones also can complement an engage-ment ring. If the bride chooses to wear both her engagement ring and wedding band together on the same finger, she should choose a band that will accommodate the curves of uniquely shaped engagement rings.

Couples can narrow down options so the ex-perience will not be overwhelming before head-ing to stores. When the time comes to shop, give yourselves at least two months to browse and then choose the rings you like best.

Lifestyle and daily routine should be consid-ered at all times. These rings will be worn daily, and no one wants to fret about a ring being too delicate to stand up to everyday wear and tear. Also, think long-term. Trendy rings can be fun, but will they still seem like such a good idea when you are celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary?

When getting rings sized, both the bride and groom should go when their fingers aren’t swol-len from exercise or early in the morning after they may have retained fluid. Shopping should take place when hands aren’t too hot or cold. This will allow the best size so the bands fit comfortably and will have enough wiggle room should fingers swell or shrink a little bit.

People can protect their investments by keep-ing the ring on as much as possible and only removing it when engaging in demanding physi-cal activity or when working with chemicals.

Wedding rings can be purchased from any number of retailers. Just be sure the rings are of good quality and sellers stand by the craftsman-ship.

Beautiful setting for Weddings, Receptions &

Rehearsal Dinners.


Many couples choose out-door weddings.

When planning an event out-side, would be wise to consider the following factors before they commit to a location for their ceremony.

LawsLaws dictate what can and

cannot be done in open spaces, and couples with outdoor loca-tions in mind should confirm lo-cal laws and regulations before they commit to a location for their wedding.

LocationProximity to your reception

venue and the hotel where guests are staying is another factor to consider. A remote location might provide stunning views and privacy, but guests

might tire if the ceremony loca-tion is far from other venues. Couples should look for nearby lodging before booking remote outdoor locations.

WeatherWeather is perhaps the big-

gest factor couples must con-sider when planning an outdoor wedding. Outdoor weddings are best held during those seasons when the threat of precipitation is insignificant and temperatures are mild, but it’s still necessary to have a backup plan just in case Mother Nature does not want to cooperate. If possible, find an outdoor loca-tion that provides access to an indoor ceremony facility in case of inclement weather. If that’s not possible, monitor the fore-cast as closely as possible and

arrange for a tent to be erected should rain start to fall.

LogisticsNo matter how beautiful a

backdrop may be, photos of an outdoor ceremony can be com-promised. Couples, along with their photographers, should visit the site in the weeks before their weddings to determine arrangements for the ceremony that will guarantee photos are not compromised by sunlight or shade.

Facility managers can prob-ably offer advice as to the best places to hold the ceremony and seat guests, but a run-through at the location with your photographer in tow can help ensure your photos come out perfect.

Having an outdoor wedding


P inboards are buzzing with endless inspiration, bringing clever and colorful

projects to life. For brides to be, the hottest looks in wedding decor can be yours with just a bit of creativity.

The evolution of touch is underway, with fabrics and embellishments featuring texture and intrigue becoming huge hits this bridal season. Take materials such as burlap, chalk-board finishes, monogram letters and mason jars to the next level by mixing and matching with the season’s colors.

Picture your big day with pretty petals adorned in lace offset by rustic trimmings. This understated yet feminine look can be yours with these trending projects from the crafting experts at craft stores. Take these ideas from Jo-Ann Fabric and gather your girlfriends for a pre-wedding craft session. You’ll love unleashing your creativity as well as the extra bonding time with the girls, all in preparation for the big event. More ways to add trending touches to your wedding can be found online at www.joann.com.
