Saving
on your
Gown
One of the biggest
savings you can find
today is on the
wedding gown.
O
nline retailers are offering 30- 40%
off of new gowns, and even more
on stock samples and discontinued
items. Check their references, return policy and
business rating. Though there is a definite savings
involved, take into consideration that you probably
will incur considerable alteration costs.
Local stores may have sales, discontinued
gowns and more. Our best advice is shop around,
do not let a pushy sales person talk you in to a
gown out of your price range or tell you the price
is only good today to get your sale. Try on different
styles to find what best fits your shape. Also watch
your newspaper classifieds or local resale shops
because you really never know what gems you
could find!

Once you’ve determined the “style” of your wedding (yes, even
beach weddings can be formal affairs), your choices for color and
available flowers will be more focused.
Fabrics are a little heavier as the weather cools down, so
your wedding gown might feature a longer sleeve length, richer
laces and ribboning, as well as embroidered designs with rich
embellishments. You may want to add a touch of color here, too, as
wedding gown manufacturers have become more savvy to seasonal
trends. You’ll want to look into some sort of shoulder wrap, as well,
should the weather (or wind) become a little cooler as evening
draws closer.
Décor becomes ever important at your Fall wedding, and color
choices are rich in golds, oranges, rusts, and all shades of green.
Your flowers, both for your bouquet and table accents bring the
season to your event in warm, earth tones. Of course, you can still
utilize sea and island accents, including shells, sand, and candle
décor, but you’ll want to enhance these to bring in the season. Try
a color range of raffia ribbon or bamboo, as well as a wide variety
of fresh fall flower accents. Combining colors, especially in the fall,
makes for a wonderful visual, and your photographs will reflect the
warmth and magnificence of Mother Nature. Your bridesmaid’s
dresses and groomsmen attire can reflect your autumn wedding
colors, as well.
Your choice of refreshment can be Fall-focused, too. Ciders,
wines, champagnes and other liqueurs reflect the autumn harvests.
If you plan to serve a meal, you might consider fall foods, too,
in addition to traditional bridal fare. Autumn foods include an

edding tradition speaks of spring and
summer dates, but today’s brides are
more often choosing off-season weddings for
convenience, cost, and color! Statistics show that weddings are
happening in every month of the year, and the fall is becoming even
more popular than ever!
The reasons are numerous –
• Less demand for a particular venue means better value for you
cooler weather provides more comfort for you and your guests
• Fewer people at popular resorts, makes your event more private
• availability of services (florists, musicians, caterers,
photographers, and more) because the demand has decreased

make your wedding by the water just as spectacular in the autumn
months as in the summer! Remember, the date you select for your
wedding can have a significant impact on all of your costs. If you
book your wedding during the premium months, everything will
just be that much more in demand. See if the off-season or less
popular months work just as well for you. The time of day is also a
critical factor in the ultimate cost of your wedding, with earlier in
the day tending to be less expensive than late afternoon or evening.

thought, yours will be spectacular….and a treasured memory!

a hotel offering a unique blend of, luxurious
rooms and exceptional costumer service allows for a
memorable experience that honeymooners will love. Avista Resort
in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina offers the style and service
resorts similar to those of South Beach, Miami.
The city of Miami, offers a unique hip and vibrant atmosphere.
Its vibrantly colored buildings of blue and sizzling yellow capture
tourists in an excitement found no where else in the United States.
Sophistication is successfully achieved through the laid-back
lifestyle that any coastal town has to offer. Avista Resort captures
this same atmosphere and presents itself as a little Miami in
Myrtle Beach.
Honeymooners have a valet service tend to their vehicle
and bags, while a courteous staff in the tastefully decorated lobby
greets them. With its neutral colors, plush seating, and grand
staircase located just to the left of the main entrance, this exquisite
lobby provides a warm welcome. The reception rooms with their
fourteen-foot ceilings and window lined walls offer an open airy
feel. The windows, lined with sheer voile curtains, allow for soft
muted views of the lit city streets below, giving the ballrooms a
silent sophisticated backdrop. However, its modern South Beach
design can quickly be shifted to a more classical look thanks to the
ballroom’s regal columns and specialty linens available through
the hotel.
There are floor to ceiling
windows and lush lawn
areas that beg for a
romantic picnic for two.
service bar located just outside the fitness room is lined with
windows overlooking the city and decorated in a modern chic
style with lush colors of black and blue and conveniently equipped
with flat screen televisions located above the bar. Enjoy the large
comfortable rooms in the hotel with its floor length windows, fully
appointed kitchen and dining areas, and full length mirrors in the
bedrooms. Each room provides full service resort style amenities
exuding luxury and comfort.
Planning a stay at Avista Resort in advance is wise. Booked
every weekend through 2007, peak season is typically May
through September.
Avista Resort can easily provide the honeymoon of your
dreams with its one-stop shop of wonderful amenities, exciting
atmosphere, and friendly service all working together to make your
wedding a most memorable affair. Couples love their stay so much,
they often return on anniversaries to celebrate all over again.

spoil the most refined of guests. There are floor to ceiling windows
