letter to readersDear readers,

We at Yakima Valley Bride magazine re-

ally loved putting this issue together. In it,

you’ll find a lot of fun subjects, like deli-

cious (trust us!) cupcakes, gorgeous flower

options, hair and makeup tips and — of

course — a glimpse into some fabulous lo-

cal weddings.

Something new this issue is Ask Lisa, our

new beauty column. Lisa Kime is the Yaki-

ma Herald-Republic’s advertising manager

by day (and an all-around amazing woman

we might add), but she’s also an expert on

hair and makeup. If you need day-of beauty

advice, she’s your gal; just email her at

[email protected].

Yakima Valley Bride has also expanded its

website, yakimabride.com. It’s always served

as a comprehensive local resource directory,

with listing after listing of where brides and

grooms can go to find everything under the

sun wedding related. But now we’re includ-

ing more stories and advice — from this

edition and past issues — as well as pictures

and details on the local weddings our read-

ers love so much.

We wish you well as you plan your own

nuptials, and hope you’ve found some

interesting ideas in these pages and on the

website. After your wedding, we’d love to

see pictures — and maybe publish them

too — just email your contact info and

a few pictures from your wedding to our

Niche Products Coordinator Scott Klepach

([email protected]) or mail

them to the address on page 8. Who knows?

Your wedding might be the one that inspires

a future bride.

Thank you — and congratulations!

Chris and Rachel share a moment before their wedding.

Perspective |by Robin salts beCkett

IIf you’re a brIde planning her wed-

ding, I’ll bet you’ve heard — much like

I did when I was planning my own —

mountains of advice from well-meaning

friends and family. I have found that the

advice one receives when getting married

pales only in comparison to the advice one

receives when pregnant (egads). but don’t

shut your ears to all of it — there’s at least

one gem out there. In my opinion, it’s one

of the tired clichés that still bears repeat-

ing: Don’t sweat the small stuff.

blech, right?

but before you turn the page, let me tell

you a little story about a wedding full of

“small stuff.”

Last year my 40 year-old brother, Chris,

announced that he’d like to marry his

young fiancée, rachel, at my parents’

house in yakima. He wanted a very small

family affair — maybe 20 people. To top

it off, he wanted my

mom and me to plan it.

Chris didn’t have many

requests, and rachel,

whom he met while on a vacation in the

Philippines, didn’t either. They live in

alaska, so it was really up to us. yay!

My mom — a consummate party throw-

er and decorator — and I were giddy. It

was like we were playing “wedding shop.”

How fun, right? I think I even said out

loud, “a wedding in two months? WHaT

CouLd Go WroNG?” or something

equally as ridiculous.

My mom and I spent evenings musing

on how we’d decorate, what music we’d

choose for the ceremony and the recep-

tion, the food, the flowers…all the fun

cutesy stuff.

We planned to use my parents’ backyard

for the ceremony (won’t the fountain be

darling? we thought) and move the recep-

tion indoors. We’d decorate with simple


14

27.841304.YVB/M

aisle markers and different vases filled

with uncomplicated flowers, like hydran-

geas. The food would be catered — Chris

and Rachel’s only request was to include a

nod to Rachel’s Filipino culture — so that

would be simple too. My dear friend Karri,

who is an amazing cook and baker, would

make the cake — three tiers of coconut! My

talented friend and colleague Chad would

take the pictures. My husband, bless his

heart, would be the officiant — as soon as

he got his certification online. We hadn’t

really done much except dream, but every-

thing was going swimmingly.

Only it wasn’t.

Work for me the week prior to the wed-

ding was tough: I was in the middle of a

project that required all of my attention.

At night, I was ordering napkins for the

wedding and figuring out last-minute

details — oh, and being a mommy to my

2 year-old. My mom — a people pleaser

who doesn’t know how to say “no” — was

taking care of the “venue,” but she was also

recovering from back surgery. She was, as

usual, not complaining about some of her

pesky pains … that were getting worse.

The Monday evening prior to the wed-

ding I got a phone call while discussing

cake details with Karri. It was bad news: my

grandma was in the hospital with what they

thought was a stroke. The next day I got my

second phone call: my mom was in the hos-

pital with complications from her surgery.

But wait, dear reader — it gets better.

Through some mind-blowing scheduling

gaffe, I realized that I had also promised

to volunteer at a fundraiser Friday night

(the evening before the wedding), and my

husband and I forgot that friends from

out-of-town were planning to visit us that

weekend … TO MAKE GRAPE JELLY IN

OUR KITCHEN.

The craziest part by far, however, was that

we decided to soldier on with the wedding.

We changed the venue to my house — my

mom just wasn’t up to it, and we changed

the day to Sunday instead of Saturday, to

give us some extra time to clean up the grape

stains from my white floor. This screwed up

my pre-printed napkins, but alas.

But herein lies my point: The napkins

don’t matter. The cake topper doesn’t matter.

Heck, not even the cake really matters (but it

was good). That’s the small stuff.

The important stuff is the people around

you — your friends and your family. In this

case, my brother, whom I hardly ever get

to see, and his new wife, both crying in my

living room.

As it turned out, my grandma’s stroke

was minor, and both she and my mom were

soon released from the hospital and on the

mend. And Chris and Rachel got married.

No one saw — or at least cared — about the

napkins’ imprint. Or the fact that I was the

DJ. Or that my husband was the internet-

endorsed officiant. …or those grape stains.

None of that small stuff mattered to

anybody. Just the big stuff … a room full

of love.

cupcakes | By Scott Klepach, Jr.

Celebrate your big day… with cupcakes

CCupCakes aren’t just for the little

ones anymore. In fact, these delectable mor-

sels can pack fun, versatility and elegance

into one small but heavenly punch.

Folks began to use cupcakes for special

occasions — including weddings — several

years ago, but they’re hotter than ever now.

“It’s a trend. It’s been around for a couple

of years, but it’s not showing signs of going

away anytime soon,” says janice richards,

who just opened Yakima’s Mon Petit

Gateau CuPCakery in april.

richards says she believes cupcakes are

popular today because they are a way of

reclaiming the nostalgia of our youth.

“It’s a fun little dessert,” she says. “It

reminds you when you were a kid. It’s a feel-

good comfort food.”

and they’re also great for big occa-

sions. richards has seen a variety of uses

for cupcakes at weddings. Some couples

offer a small cake at the top tier of a cake

display, with cupcakes filling out the rest

of the tiers below.

Cupcakes are economical as well as

versatile, Richards says, so couples can

provide a variety of flavors and special se-

lections, such as gluten-free options. Plus,

you don’t have to cut cupcakes, and guests

can eat more than one.

“We’ve had a lot of people order for

bridal showers and weddings more and

more,” says Lana Wharton of Truly

ScrumpTiouS Bakery in Yakima’s

Track 29 shopping center.

Wharton says her most popular flavor is

red velvet followed by coconut cream. But

orders for weddings and bridal showers

run the flavor gamut. For one shower she

made chocolate cupcakes filled with fresh

strawberries and cream with a strawberry

topping. Wharton offers vegan and gluten-

free varieties as well.

Rembold said that one of her favorite

Girl’s Kitchen in downtown Yakima, and

she says that lemon cupcakes are a favorite

ingredients as much as possible. Her fondant

cupcakes are tiny works of art.

While cupcakes are popular, cheesecake

may take, well, the cake. But what if you

could have the best of both worlds?

“Cheesecake’s kind of a trend right

now,” says Elizabeth Fitzgerald, the admin-

istrator at St. John of KronStadt

orthodox ChriStian SChool.

The school has begun making cheesecake

cupcakes as a way to raise funds for its

scholarships and operations. And it just

so happens that they are delicious and

becoming quite popular. Wedding couples

can also select one of St. John’s “take away”

cakes to freeze until their first anniversary.

That cake is heavier than what you’d find

in a cupcake and is six inches round.

Denser than a typical cupcake, St. John’s

cheesecakes are rich and decadent. But if

you’re asking us, any cupcake is worth a

taste test.

Selecting the right flowerS is one of the biggest

decisions a couple makes when planning a wedding. And it’s not

just the flowers — it’s the all-important question of color.

the good news is, it looks like more and more brides — and

grooms — are deciding to follow their own style, and that means

there are many more options on the table.

Lori Osborn, owner of Blooming Elegance

in Yakima, has also noticed the change in

color preferences this year. While 2010 was a

popular year for brown, this year weddings

are coming alive with more intense colors.

“Weddings this year are kind of different,”

Osborn says. “A lot of brides this year are

going more with lots of colors,” especially

purple, red, and orange.

Sometimes, says Osborn, all of these col-

ors are used in one arrangement.

Big changes year to year are expected, Os-

born says. This year many of her clients are

using lilies and Gerbera daisies as well.

“I don’t know if it’s [from] magazines,

or just personal preference, but every year

there’s something that’s kind of a pattern,”

Osborn says.

The shift could also have to do with more

options being available.

“There are so many more ideas out there

now than 10 to 15 years ago,” says Younker,

who agrees that expanding choices might be

due to the influence of magazines and wed-

ding “reality” shows on television.

“Girls are putting their personalities in

it,” she continues. “A couple years ago, it

was pretty traditional, but each year it’s

getting more exciting. Their personalities

are coming out.”

Flowers


Fall offers plenty of texture, Younker says,

no matter if you stick to deeper fall tones or

go with bright colors.

“So many things are in bloom in the fall,”

she says. “Beautiful berries and dahlias are

popular, and cool grasses. You really get

interesting textures in the fall you cannot get

throughout the rest of the year.”

Yakima Valley Bride Magazine asked this question on Facebook: “Yakima brides-to-be…what flowers are you using at your wedding?”

Cynthia P.: “Gerbera daisies :) My

favorite!”

Lindsay W.: “Dahlias! & Sunflowers!”

Kalea H.: “Peonies!”

Leslie M.: “Hot chocolate mini

callas, lavendar roses “Cool Water”

to be exact, lavendar alstro, white

freesia and green trachelium!”

Ask Lisa:Quick tips on beauty

for your big day

by lisa kime

Q. I have long hair and I’m thinking I should wear it in some sort of updo, but I’d much rather wear it down and natural. I’m afraid that natural will look disheveled by the end of the day. Any recommendations?

A. This is your day, so don’t be afraid to

wear your hair down! What’s important

is finding the right style for you. While

thinking about your wedding day style

take into consideration your face shape,

hair length and your gown and headpiece.

I suggest looking though a few magazines

to find styles you like. Then schedule an

appointment with your hairdresser at least

a few weeks before your wedding for a trial

run. Bring along your headpiece. Let him or

her know that you want a natural look, but a

style that can also stand up to a long day of

picture taking and hugs. One style I would

recommend is the half up, half down look.

This style is universally flattering while still

looking fairly effortless.

If you are doing your own hair or just

want to make sure your stylist is using prod-

ucts that can keep you looking fresh all day, I

recommend using the Nick Chavez Amazon

Hair Body Building Spray ($19 at Ulta) and

Nick Chavez Volumizing Extra Hold Spray

($23 at Ulta). Both products will hold your

Using the Latest Technology & Medical Expertise

style and keep your hair looking wedding

day perfect so you can enjoy your big day!

Q. My skin is very oily, and I’m afraid it

will be too shiny for all my wedding-day

pictures. What do I do?

A. Oily skin can be a challenge, but with a

little preparation and the right products you

can look great in your wedding photos.

After cleansing and moisturizing, apply a

lightweight primer. If you are quite oily, skip

the moisturizer and go straight to primer.

I love Pur Minerals’ primer ($31 at Ulta).

It gives your skin a silky feel, hides imper-

fections and keeps your makeup in place.

Pur Minerals has a green tinted formula

if your skin is on the ruddy side, too. Next

step is to apply foundation and concealer as

usual, then follow up with an oil-absorbing

powder. An oil absorbing powder is essential

to keeping shine down. I like Urban Decay’s

De-Slick Mattifying Powder ($29 at Ulta).

It’s lightweight and colorless and is amazing

at soaking up oil! It also comes in a pretty

compact with a mirror and is great under

and over your make-up. Urban Decay also

makes a spray version of De-Slick that you

The half-up, half-down style.

can use alone or in combination with the

powder compact. This is a makeup setting

spray that won’t clog pores and cause break-

outs. Partner these two products together for

max oil absorption!

I also like Tarte’s Smooth Operator Mi-

cronized Finishing Powder ($28 at Ulta).

This is a loose colorless powder that soaks

up surface oils to mattify skin; just keep

in mind this is a loose powder and not

a compact, so it’s not quite as portable.

Lastly, make sure you pack your make-

up bag with oil-absorbing sheets for a

quick touch-up. If you haven’t tried these

wonderful little sheets yet, they are a must

for those of us with oily skin. There’s quite

a few different brands to choose from and

honestly I haven’t found one that much

different than the others.

Last but not least, if you need a quick

de-shine and you’re all out of products,

use a toilet seat cover! Just tear, blot and

shine is gone. It’s a great trick and no one

will be the wiser!

By day Lisa Kime is the Yakima Herald-Republic’s advertising manager, but she does more than dabble in makeup — she loves the stuff. During her off hours, you’ll find her boating with her husband, Randy, or milling the aisles at Ulta.

NAMES Melinda Morin and Freddy Mendoza p OCCUPATIONS She’s an accountant and he’s a finish carpenter p THEY

LIVE IN Terrace Heights p THEY MET at a party in 2001: “Freddy told me that he knew the moment that he saw me that

I was ‘the one.’” p HE PROPOSED on the observatory deck at the Space Needle. “Our kids were with us, which made the

moment so much more meaningful.” p CEREMONY AND RECEPTION WERE HELD at Apple Tree Resort p NUMBER

OF GUESTS “I planned for 225 … we ended up having 300 — the more the merrier right?” p NUMBER OF ATTEN-

DANTS 10 p COLORS WERE Los Angeles Lakers purple (“It’s the only way I could get Freddy motivated for the color

purple”), white, silver and black p TRADITIONAL OR UNUSUAL? A little of both. “I wanted to make sure that we em-

braced both our cultures: the Hispanic side and the Asian side.” p THEY MADE fun favors from take-out boxes that were

filled with trinkets like personalized chopsticks and Vero lollipops p EVERYBODY LOVED “the food!” Apple Tree created

an Asian/Mexican fusion menu that “did not disappoint.” p FAVORITE MOMENT The sand ceremony, which represents

the blending of a family. “It was important to us that the kids know that they [are] just as much a part of this union.”

p THEY SPENT THEIR WEDDING NIGHT at Apple Tree’s “Stay and Play” house, which overlooks the golf course p

THEY WERE JOYFUL BECAUSE of the many people who traveled to be with them. “There have been so many people

that have been rooting for us and to have them there on our big day — words cannot express our gratitude.”
