With brides flocking to social media for nonstop ideas, there’s a sense that brides are stepping out of comfort zones and want more choices from designers to feed their sartorial wedding dreams. “The past couple of years felt safe, and this year designers took more chances and offered more breadth,” says Anna Walsh, owner of two Denver bridal boutiques, Anna Be and A & Be Bridal Shop. Topping the list were the selection of necklines parading Gowns Continued on page 3 Above, bottom, ‘Marena’: Thai silk ballgown with draped bodice and off-the-shoulder straps, from Modern Trousseau.

Strapless gowns had to make room for alternatives, such as silky cowl necks, shoulder straps, V-necks, cap sleeves and elbow sleeves. Some highlights were the less-thandemure, bias-cut sheath gown with a plunging cowl neckline by Sarah Janks, along with the designer’s ladylike cap-sleeved silk marocain gown with a neckline framed in delicate, beaded French lace. Leanne Marshall’s looks included a coy lace gown with lace elbow sleeves. And, Modern Trousseau paid homage to décolletage with a Thai silk ballgown featuring a draped bodice with off-the-shoulder straps. “There isn’t just one neckline choice anymore,” Walsh says. “Brides can really pick and choose what they want. It used to be, I had only three dresses that weren’t strapless in the store.” At the same time, there were more riffs on strapless looks with the help of illusion styles, a trend that shows no abatement. Modern Trousseau offered a cap-sleeve look made of Alencon lace over a blush silk duchess gown. An ivory and nude lace gown with an organza skirt by Leanne Marshall and a trumpet dress by Amy Kuschel, done in primrose lace with an appliqué of French grand peony, are feeding the fascination of modest, yet skin-baring looks. “These gowns provide a level of comfort for brides who don’t want to feel overexposed,” says Leanne Marshall, Lace, in accents and layers, on Amy Kuschel’s ‘Giorgia’ gown DANCE HALL&BANQUET ROOM Gowns Continued on page 10 68708 We also have a PRIVATE RECEPTION AREA & BAR/DINING AREA for Private Parties!

The latest entrée in the line is perhaps the most obvious: the Wedding Journal. Where most “wedding planners” resemble your junior high Trapper Keeper, the 5-by-8-inch Wedding Journal is easy to transport in your purse. And because there are eight themed, tabbed sections across its 216 pages to keep all the planning details organized, you’ll actually want to use it, too.In addition, there is a removable Bridal Book (below) that allows brides to clandestinely plan out their wedding-day look so youknow-who does not get privy to the details. © BRIDES 365 ϮϬϭt͘D/E^dZdͻW/W^dONE Mon-‐Wed, Fri 9am-‐5:30pm dŚƵƌϵĂŵͲϴƉŵͻ^ĂƚϵĂŵͲϱƉŵ www.GeyermansClothingCo.com Let us help make your Wedding Day Beautiful!

With unique indoor and outdoor spaces, and, yes, a steady supply of libations, couples are turning to them for creative, fun wedding venues. Cheers! ¦IGYYI Some couples meet in a bar, but how many actually get married in one? Perhaps more than you think. Meredith Cella Pellegrini did not have her heart set on such a location when she and her husband Patrick were scouting wedding venues for their May 2013 wedding. The Chicagoans looked at a number of loft spaces around the city, desiring a locale that was casual but cozy. But the place that ended up capturing their hearts was the Brewer’s Lounge at Catering For Your Wedding Reception }{7 z x ß Serving SW Minnesota { { ß and SE South Dakota e ß| Chicago’s Revolution Brewing, an event space that doubles as the second level of Revolution’s brewpub restaurant. Unlike a raw space that would have required a caterer, bringing in alcohol and perhaps table and chair rentals, the brewery space handled everything under one roof. “A brewery that provides food and booze takes a lot of the guesswork out,” Pellegrini says. “Bottom line, in addition to being a really beautiful space … it was way more affordable than the other options we were considering.” The Pellegrinis’ wedding A couple poses among the kegs at Atlanta’s SweetWater Brewing Co. was one of more than 50 that took place in 2013 at Revolution’s Brewer’s Lounge, which catered to just three weddings when it opened in 2011, according to Meghan Rutledge, Revolution’s event planner. Rutledge anticipates around 70 weddings in 2014 and already is receiving requests for 2015.

After all, craft beers value the same tenets as marriage: quality, care and love. Couples want to share that love at their weddings, so they’re going straight to the source. The Local Factor Although it may sound like a new concept, breweries have been hosting weddings for years. Boulevard Brewing Co. has been creating craft beers in Kansas City, Mo., since 1989. When the company expanded operations to include a new 70,000-square-foot facility in 2006, event spaces were part of the plan alongside increasing brewing and bottling capacities. “[The brewery] was often the place you had community events,” says Blue Lawrence, director of hospitality at Boulevard, which hosts wedding receptions both large and small in its Muehlebach Suite (more than 200 guests) and Brewhouse Bar (up to 75 guests). For KC couples, the idea of having their wedding at a brewery is a no-brainer. “Boulevard is an icon of the community,” Lawrence says. “[People] appreciate that and want to celebrate in a place that resonates as a city. “It’s very local,” she adds. According to the American Craft Brewers Association, on average most Americans live within 10 miles of a brewery. And don’t be surprised to see that number get smaller. According to a report from Demeter Group Investment Bank, the craft beer industry has grown at a 10percent clip since 2007 and is expected to represent nearly 15 percent of the overall beer industry by 2020. 0,!. 9/52 7%$$).'

Weddings in the coming year will take on more vintage elements to transport guests to a union that could have easily taken place decades ago. Think less whitewashed furniture and more classic mid-century pieces, says Erin Taylor of Bustle Events, a Californiabased, event-planning firm. To help you set the scene, envision places with specific time peri- ods, such as Venice, Italy, at the turn of the century. “Vintage elements are romantic and bring an oldworld charm to weddings,” says Deborah Collins Dunn, editor of the Wedding Thingz blog. And it’s the perfect way to incorporate the “something old” into the wedding tradition. “Many brides add old photos, books, typewriters and suitcases to the decor,” Dunn says. “One of my favorites is seeing old books on the reception tables for centerpieces.” Use your own family heirlooms to give the setting a personal touch. If you’re short on pieces with a nostalgic feel, Trends Continued on page 11 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2014 PIPESTONE COUNTY STAR – 9 A great pair of shoes is just as important as the dress — maybe even more so. Luckily, higher hemlines are in mode, making it easier to shine the spotlight on the high-fashion footwear in which you’ll walk down the aisle.

The Backs Have It Gowns Continued from page 3 For those brides eager to show off a little skin, designers didn’t disappoint. Dramatic backs emerged as another recurring trend, whether detailed with beading or cut oh-so low, because of the way they flatter figures. Amy Kuschel kept the look sweet with scalloped edges and bows on her gowns. Designs by Katie May that featured completely open backs, like the corded lace slim-fit style, as well as Sarah Janks gowns, such as the shape-hugging, handkerchief gown with embroidered appliqué and a deep V- back, caught the eye of retailers, including Ivy Kaplin, owner of Lovely Bride in Philadelphia. “Wearing it is definitely a confidence thing,” Kaplin says. “Designers are taking it to the next level … and showing off the body in all the right ways.” Lest brides worry that they can’t pull off the look, bear in mind that lingerie makers are selling those bare essentials — undergarment support concepts — at a variety of price ranges. Nordstrom sells the “Uplunge” backless strapless underwire bra with wings to hold the bra in place. Kleinfeld Bridal sells the way-upmarket line of Ender Legard Corsetry, which offers backless bodices. And, HerRoom.com sells Braza Reveal Silicone Bras, which are just cups available in nude and clear. Lace, Lace, Lace 71027 ÐDQGUHDXVG UR\DOULYHUFDVLQRFRP The fabric of choice for the season again seems to be lace, lace and more lace, catering to brides’ sense of romance and whimsy. “Brides still want to take a few risks, but they want something that feels luxurious and modern and vintage that can be an heirloom,” says Lynn Annatone, marketing director for Modern Trousseau. Less was not more as designers experimented with texture and layered laces, such as Chantilly and Alencon and Guipure and Venice over a Chantilly layer. Lace was in abundance at Modern Trousseau, which offered the fit-and-flare gown with off-the-shoulder straps and a scalloped neckline and a cap-sleeved style in Alencon lace over a silk duchess gown. Amy Kuschel incorporated lace in layers and accents, such as in a strapless gown with a flared hem and scalloped edge. Anna Maier Ulla-Maija Couture offered a fluted floral lace gown with a high-neck and a one-shoulder column gown over silk double charmeuse. Lea Ann Belter Bridal mixed and matched the fabric as exemplified by a silk dupioni gown layered with three kinds of French lace ending in tiers of sheer silk organza and sequin-dotted tulle ruffles. It may sound as if designers are going head-over-heels overboard and creating overwrought fashions, but retailers praise the direction, which keeps lace chic and youthful. “It seems like a lot, but it wasn’t,” says Stacy Fork, owner of The Gown Shop in Ann Arbor, Mich. “It gives us something new to present to the traditional bride.” Designers also stepped up their beading with beaded sheaths and dazzling corsets, inspired by the sparkle and fun of Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” movie and Old Hollywood glamour. Anna Maier showcased an empire-waist pleated ballgown with a bodice glittering with silver thread and crystal beading and a duchess satin gown embroidered in pewter and bronze. Maggie Sottero featured a beaded dress with layers, necklines and shoulder straps. Sarah Janks incorporated a belt made of beaded French lace roses on an airy ballgown strung with beads and made of tulle and silk gazaar. “We use a lot of tulle as a base for the embellishment to counter the surface interest,” Janks says. “There has to be a balance … so it doesn’t overwhelm the wearer.” Subtle sparkle was even on display on Leanne Marshall’s collection with her use of hand-beaded lace. It’s an about-face for Marshall, who says for the longest time she avoided using anything reminiscent of shine. “I grew up designing my own dance costumes so I had my fill of sequins for a lifetime,” Marshall says. “But, the last few seasons, it’s been growing on me to try something more subtle with nice shimmer.” © BRIDES 365 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2014 Trends Burnett also suggests taking photographs with a double exposure. The effect will result in shadowy, beautifully haunting pictures. When decorating, embrace elaborate prints. Solid colors and chevron are on their way out to make way for more unusual prints, like eye-catching geometric shapes. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns, either. “Brides are getting a little more bold in their color palettes and rental choices,” Taylor says, and it extends all the way down to the smallest details like the invitations. A few colors in particular are really making a splash. Expect weddings accents with hints of gray and mint green — a cousin of emerald, 2013’s color of the year. Food and Cake For a trendy cocktail hour, presentation is key. Taylor suggests providing small tastes served in shot glasses. They can be filled with familiar hors d’oeuvres, or stuffed with bitesized versions of homey favorites like macaroni and cheese or chicken potpie. But no matter the food, the local, farm-totable trend still reigns, so look into venues and caterers who source from local farms. “More people are concerned about where their food is coming from,” Taylor says. For cakes, both “naked” cakes — un-iced, exposed layers, as made famous by New York’s Momofuku Milk Bar — and ombré-colored cakes remain popular, but at the end PIPESTONE COUNTY STAR – 11 Continued from page 8 of the meal, consider mixing it up with a sweet assortment of miniature treats. Serve your guests a variety of the trendy snack-size desserts — doughnuts, scones or handheld pies, which also can be a savory snack with a twist on the filling. Small scoops of ice cream topped with wafers also make for a simply delicious dish. Flowers Peonies are the flowers of the moment, and the bigger the better to make a statement piece that pops. Round out a peony bouquet with fillers like roses and hydrangeas. Tulips are another hot flower that can stand on their own in a vase. Pinks and peaches are classic flower colors that are especially popular for 2014, but your floral arrangements can veer off course to match your own theme. Keeping with the vintage trend, don’t be afraid to adorn the setting with flowers that go beyond traditional blush hues. To tie a darker color scheme together, add in some dark floral arrangements for a look that’s elegant, not eerie. It’s perfect for making floral arrangements look like still-life art, a trend Burnett says florists will be experimenting with in the coming year. Your floral arrangements don’t have to be relegated to table centerpieces. Brides of 2014 are playing with bold hair embellishments like dreamy flower crowns with tiny baby’s breath and large mixed bouquets. 71064 PLEASE PRESENT COUPON FREE CLEANING* With Exam and Necessary X-rays Expires 3/14/14 For New & Existing Customers © BRIDES 365 *Routine Cleaning 70925 To ADVERTISE in the Dr. Wm.

WA N T A M E M O R A B L E Brewery Continued from page 7 On the state level, as one example, the number of microbreweries in the state of Minnesota grew from just nine in 2010 to nearly 40 in 2013. The Look and Feel Craft breweries have taken care to create event spaces that provide a wide range of atmospheres, from casual to formal. Deschutes Brewery in Bend, Ore., also has held wedding receptions for more than a decade in its Mountain Room, which looks out onto the Cascade Mountains. “Views, that’s the draw right there,” says Allison Leach, Deschutes’ marketing coordinator and private events manager. Similarly, Boulevard’s Muehlebach Suite, which hosts more than 70 weddings a year, has a grand terrace that overlooks the city. “[It’s] embracing Kansas City the way Kansas City has embraced the brewery,” Lawrence says. At Revolution, Rutledge says their spaces aim to be unique and beautiful without being too stuffy, nor too casual. “We use a lot of repurposed wood [and] bourbon barrels that make the spaces warm and inviting,” she says. In addition to its brewpub lounge, Revolution has a second space located in a taproom and production facility that is designed for cocktail party-style weddings. “It’s industrial and funky and has a little bit of a shock factor because it’s huge,” Rutledge says. One wall of the space is entirely glass and shows off the production lines. The space itself contains bourbon barrels that are aging beer. “You’re really in the middle of the building and brewing [production],” Rutledge says. SweetWater Brewing Co. of Atlanta also has two spaces with different atmospheres. Its Tasting Room is a more casual space with a large wall of glass windows and an outdoor patio with a bandstand and bar. The Reel Room has more formal elements, including a custom SweetWater back bar, Georgia marble bar top and custom wood barstools, says Carrington Moore, SweetWater’s director of enjoyment and events.

Pellegrini needed a menu at Revolution to fit her and her husband’s vegetarian lifestyle. “They were super accommodating about creating a menu with vegetarian options,” she says. That even included a local-inspired, late-night snack — vegan Chicagostyle hot dogs — to match the local brews. “The food and beer together were just outstanding at Revolution,” Pellegrini says. © BRIDES 365 Dance Floors l Cocktail Tables l Chairs, Linens and Skirting Head Table l Backdrops l Chocolate and Punch Fountains China and Glassware l Centerpieces l Cake Stands WE HAVE RENTALS!

At Boulevard, guests get to have the full line of year-round Boulevard beers and wines that aren’t at other Kansas City event spaces. Deschutes, Revolution and SweetWater all offer private tours to wedding guests, and SweetWater includes a souvenir pint glass as a favor. The tours give guests a chance to learn about the beers from the brewery’s expert servers. “We understand that not everybody drinks beer,” Rutledge says. “People who are not normally beer drinkers will go on the tour and try it.” Some breweries can even provide a rustic outdoor farm experience. Rogue Ales of Portland, Ore., operates two farms in the area, growing ingredients like barley and hops for its Chatoe line of beers. The brewer hosts weddings at its Hop Farm in Independence, Ore. Couples can marry outdoors amongst the vines of floral hops, and then move into the rustic barn for the reception. Guests can enjoy the ambience of the farm and its surrounding fruit and nut orchards, and, of course, partake in Rogue’s beer and spirits.
