How to calm those
last-minute jitters
Brides- and grooms-to-be are often nervous when the
day they will tie the knot finally arrives. The realization that
months and months of planning and anticipation are finally
about to come to a head often inspires some jitters in the
days leading up to the wedding. But the following are a few
ways couples can calm those nerves in the hours leading up
to the moment they have devoted so much time and effort
to planning since becoming engaged.
* Get a good night's rest. Couples should prioritize a
good night's sleep the night before they are set to walk
down the aisle. Make your last night as an unmarried couple an early night so you will look your best and have plenty of energy on your big day, which will no doubt start early
and end late. A good night's sleep can go a long way toward
ensuring you're in a good mood as you handle a full slate of
responsibilities on your wedding day.
* Spend time with family and friends. Chances are
your closest friends and family members are playing significant roles in your wedding, and spending time with them is
a great way to keep your nerves in check while having a fun
time before, during and after the ceremony.
* Don't be afraid to delegate responsibilities. In spite
of months of planning, couples will still have a to-do list
come their wedding days. If such a list is overwhelming,
brides- and grooms-to-be should not be afraid to delegate
some of the tasks on their lists. Bridesmaids and groomsmen can no doubt handle any outstanding tasks that don't
require any input from the bride or groom.
* Relax as the ceremony draws nearer. As the start
time for the ceremony approaches, couples about to tie the
knot should take time to sit down and relax. Once their hair
and makeup is finished, brides-to-be should sit down and
exhale or arrange for the photographer to snap some fun
pre-wedding photos with their bridesmaids. Grooms-to-be
can do the same with their groomsmen, sharing a few lastminute jokes to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready to go
before taking their places.

Did you know?
There are many different reasons couples opt to get
married in a particular month. Warm weather and the best
chance for good photo opportunities spurs many couples
to tie the knot during the summer months. Although June
has long been the most popular month for getting hitched,
times are changing. Numbers from the American National
Center for Health Statistics indicate that July and August
have had more marriages than June for the last several
years. In Australia, the insurance organization Million
Dollar Woman indicates that October is the most popular
month for tying the knot. In North America, the most popular month to walk down the aisle is July, followed by
August, June, May, September, October, December,
November, April, February, and March. January has the
least number of weddings. Couples who are looking to
save money or avoid competition for vendors with other
couples can use this information when choosing a date for
their weddings.

RIGHT: Instead of doing grand march and bouquet/garter toss
at the Pastorius/Schabel wedding on Sept. 14, 2013, the wedding
party played a chair game. During the chair game the DJ called
off things for the wedding party members to go into the audience
and find. When they got back to the chairs with their "thing," if
there wasn't a chair left they were out. The final item to find was
an queen of hearts, which was found by Nikki Truskowski, right.
She showed her winning card to the bride and groom, Todd and
Marcia Schabel. (submitted)

Providing brides beautiful hair services for over 30 years
Wedding day attire has changed in many ways, but one
component of getting dressed up for a wedding that has withstood the test of time is the wearing of a wedding veil.
Though many brides know it is tradition to wear a bridal veil,
many do not understand why. Here is a look at the history
behind the veil and why it is continued to be worn today.
The veil and the bouquet that a bride carries may predate
the wearing of white. Although there is no definitive reason for
the wearing of a veil, many surmise it has to do with ancient
Greeks and Romans' fear of evil spirits and demons. In fact, this
is where many of the bridal traditions actually come from,
including bridesmaids wearing similar dresses in order to serve
as decoys for the bride. In an effort to frighten away or disguise
the bride from evil spirits, brides-to-be were dressed in brightly
colored fabrics like red and obscured by a veil. But in many
cases, the veil prevented the bride from seeing well. That is why
her father or another person "gave her away." He was actually
escorting her down the aisle so she wouldn't bump or trip into
anything. The veil also served as a method of shielding the
bride's face from her future husband, especially in the cases of
arranged marriages.
Superstition has it that it is bad luck for the groom to see the
bride prior to the wedding. A veil hiding her face also ensured
that the groom would not see his soon-to-be-betrothed up until
the ceremony.
Eventually the meaning behind the veil transformed as weddings evolved into religious ceremonies. The veil came to symbolize modesty and obedience. In many religions it is seen as a
symbol of reverence for women to cover their heads. When
white wedding dresses were worn to symbolize chastity, the
white veil followed suit.
There are others who say that before the advent of shampoo, people didn't wash their hair as often and it could get quite
dirty. The veil may have been a method to covering up unsightly hair.
Regardless of the origins, veils continue to be sported by
today's brides, who choose from a few different styles. A flyaway is a short veil that ends at the shoulders, while a sweep
veil ends at the floor. Chapel and cathedral veils follow the bride
at a significant length (nine and 12 feet, respectively). A blusher is a very short veil that covers just the bride's face as she
enters the ceremony. With a fingertip veil, the veil reaches the
bride's waist and brushes at her fingertips.
The veil will coordinate with the style of the gown, and many
wedding attire consultants suggest choosing the gown prior to
the headpiece and veil.

Katie & Alex
JUNE 15, 2013
Though many couples still tie the knot in traditional
religious ceremonies officiated by a minister, priest, rabbi
or other religious leader, more couples are embracing
less traditional ceremonies that can be officiated by secular officiants. Humanist weddings, for example, may be
officiated by someone who shares the same philosophy
of life as the bride and/or groom, and such officials typically have no religious affiliation. Civil ceremonies are
another type of wedding ceremony for couples who do
not want a traditional religious wedding. Civil ceremonies
are often presided over by a justice of the peace, political
official or even a certified notary public. The rules regarding civil ceremonies vary from state to state, so couples
considering a civil ceremony should do their homework
before moving forward with any wedding plans. Couples
with different religious backgrounds who still want a religious ceremony may want to consider an interfaith ceremony that includestraditions from each faith and may
even include religious leaders from each faith.

Things to consider
when mulling a
destination wedding
Noelle & Corey
MARCH 14, 2013
According to a study from XO Group Inc., creator of
wedding
websites
TheKnot.com
and
WeddingChannel.com, 350,000 destination weddings
take place annually. Such figures reflect a growing trend
of couples who want to tailor their weddings to their own
personalities, even if that means tying the knot in exotic
or unusual locales.
But as popular as destination weddings have
become, couples who have had such weddings can
attest that planning a destination wedding is not necessarily easier than planning a more traditional ceremony
close to home. Though destination weddings can make
for memorable affairs, there are some factors couples
must consider when mulling whether or not to have a
destination wedding.

Guest list
The XO Group study found that destination weddings
have an average of 86 guests. When sitting down to
organize their guest lists, many couples realize they
have well over 100 guests on their lists. Such couples
may find a destination wedding especially difficult to pull
off, as resorts may or may not be able to accommodate
such a substantial number of guests. In addition, couples who hope to invite children to their weddings might
want to reconsider a destination affair, as those youngsters' parents will have to foot the bill for additional airfare and accommodations and, depending on when the
wedding takes place, pull the kids out of school for an
extended period of time. Couples with smaller guest lists
might find a destination wedding much more manageable than those whose guest lists crack triple digits.

...planning a destination wedding continued
Another thing to consider is that the larger the guest list,
the more likely many of those guests will not be able to afford
to attend or get enough time off from work to make it to a destination wedding. Couples who want to ensure all of their
loved ones can be there with them on their big days might be
better off avoiding destination weddings.
Accessibility
Accessibility is a common concern for couples considering destination weddings. Destination weddings typically ask
guests to travel far to attend the ceremony and reception, but
there are ways to make that travel less of an ordeal. When
choosing a location for their destination weddings, couples
should consider the cost and convenience of travel. Remote
islands are not very accessible, and as a result guests will
likely have to pay a pretty penny for their flights and lodging.
In addition, the more remote a destination wedding locale is,
the less convenient getting there figures to be. Nonstop
flights likely won't be a possibility. Before choosing a locale
for a destination wedding, research flights, making sure that
affordable flights are available within spitting distance of
loved ones' homes and that they won't have to suffer through
multiple connecting flights when traveling to and from the
wedding.
Weather
Weather is another factor couples must consider before
choosing to have a destination wedding. The XO Group
study found that 30 percent of American couples who have
destination weddings choose to tie the knot outside of the
continental United States. That's a distinct disadvantage for
couples who likely are not very familiar with weather patterns
overseas. Couples who choose outdoor weddings close to
home are often familiar enough with local weather patterns to
choose a wedding date that likely won't be interrupted by
harsh weather. But choosing an overseas or distant locale
erases that comfort level, and couples may find themselves
worrying about storms or other inclement weather conditions
as their wedding days draw nearer. Before choosing a locale
for their destination weddings, couples should thoroughly
research each potential destination's weather patterns.
Brides, grooms and guests alike don't want to do all of that
traveling only to end up indoors because it just sohappens to
be tropical storm season.
Competition
As destination weddings have grown in popularity, the
competition for idyllic locales and top-notch venues has
increased. That competition is great for venue owners' bottom lines, but it might not be so great for couples looking to
keep their wedding costs down. Costs might be considerably
less in the off-season, but that's also when storms and
inclement weather tend to take hold, Booking a venue early
can help couples mitigate some of the costs of a destination
wedding, but the growing popularity of destination weddings
might make them out of reach for couples working on tight
budgets.

Gentlemen getting ready to tie the knot will have to make certain
wardrobe choices so they look their best on their big day. Although many
grooms-to-be rent tuxedos on their wedding day, it may be more costeffective to purchase a tuxedo.
Tuxedos are the ultimate formal wear for men. Worn at formal gatherings like proms, weddings and lavish parties, tuxedos have undergone several style changes over the years. Men interested in looking
polished will find no option makes that impression more convincingly
than the right tuxedo.
Men frequently called upon to attend formal events may find purchasing a tuxedo is a wise investment. There are several advantages to
owning a tux rather than renting one time and again. Tuxedos typically
cost around $1,000, whereas renting tuxedos can be $200 or more each
time, making it advantageous for men who frequently don tuxedos to
purchase their own rather than rent.
Another advantage to owning a tuxedo is the opportunity to wear a
tux that is custom-made and tailored just for you. Instead of a rental that
will merely be stitched temporarily to fit your measurements, a tuxedo
you purchase will be tailored specifically to your body, increasing comfort and making you look better as well.
Men who buy their own tuxedos also can choose the style, fabric,
color, buttons, accessories, and type of lapels on the jacket. A tuxedo
store may have more styles available for sale than for rent. If you desire
something that fits your personality and your physique perfectly, buying
your own tuxedo may be your best bet.
Men worried about purchasing a tuxedo only to see their waistlines
increase or decrease should keep in mind that many tuxedo shops offer
free tailoring for as long as you own the tuxedo.
When purchasing a tuxedo, men should choose classic styles and
colors so they can enjoy the tux for years to come. Opt for a slim-fitting
white shirt underneath that won't billow out when jackets are removed.
Men who want to break from tradition can opt for a shirt that is a pale
blue or light gray to wear under the jacket. This is still an understated
look, but one with a hint of creativity.
A classic, black bow tie is an ideal match when purchasing a more
classic tuxedo. The bow tie is back in a big way, and men who want to
spice things up can purchase more traditional neckties for those occasions when they don't want to wear bow ties.
Tuxedos come with different lapel styles, and it's important to know
the differences. Today's most popular style is the notch lapel, wherein a
triangular indentation is cut where the lapel joins the collar. This lapel
mimics the shape of a classic suit. A peak lapel is the quintessential
classic, featuring a broad, V-shaped lapel that points up and out just
below the collar line. A shawl lapel is a smooth, rounded edge lapel. The
shawl lapel reached the height of its popularity in the 1950s, but it can
still look good today.

How to stay energized
throughout your
wedding day
2014 BRIDAL | PAGE 9
A couple's wedding day is the culmination of months and
months of planning. For most, it is one of the most memorable, magical days of their lives, filled with fond moments of
time spent with close friends and family.
As enjoyable as a wedding can be, most brides and
grooms who have already tied the knot can attest that a wedding is a long, often tiring day. It is very easy for energy levels to wane. To ensure you have enough energy to last
through to the final good-bye of the evening, follow these
suggestions to remain energized.
* Recognize your wedding day is a very long day. It's
possible to rise quite early in the morning to begin prepping
with makeup, hair styles, wardrobe and more. If the party is
an evening reception, it could last until the wee hours of the
morning. You may find yourself up for nearly 24 hours, when
the cameras will be flashing and the video rolling throughout.
Naturally, you'll want to look your best throughout.
* Get a good night's sleep the night before. Get to bed
early the night before so you will get ample sleep and look
rested. It is understandable that nerves and excitement may
get the best of you and make it difficult to fall asleep. If you
often grow anxious and struggle to fall asleep before big
events, talk to your doctor prior to the wedding to ask if you
can be prescribed a one-time-only sleeping pill that will
ensure you get to sleep promptly. Do not take this medication with alcohol, and be sure to take it only if you can get a
full 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Otherwise you may experience
medicine hangover.
* Enjoy a hearty breakfast. At breakfast on the morning
of your wedding, consume a combination of carbohydrates
and protein. The carbs will provide the initial burst of energy
you need to get going, and the protein will keep you feeling
full. A combination of whole wheat toast, fresh fruit and
Greek yogurt makes for a filling start to the day.
* Stay hydrated. Although drinking a lot of water can
result in more frequent trips to the bathroom -- which can be
cumbersome for brides wearing their gowns -- it is essential
to stay hydrated. Dehydration can result in headaches,
weakness and dizziness and may make you feel cranky. Be
sure to consume water throughout the day.
* Pack some snacks. The time between breakfast and
the cocktail hour of a wedding may be significant. In your
wedding "survival" kit, be sure to pack some easy snacks to
eat. Trail mix can be nibbled for a boost of energy, and a
banana can take the edge off of hunger pangs. Avoid anything messy that can drip onto clothing or get stuck in your
teeth. Arrange to have snacks stowed in the limousine or
another mode of transportation so that you can refuel on the
way to the ceremony or in transit to the reception.
* Don't overdo it with caffeine. It may be tempting to
lean on an energy drink or a super-size cup of coffee to give
you the boost you need. But caffeine is only a temporary fix.
After the effects of the caffeine wear off, you could find yourself more tired than before and crash at an inopportune time
during the day. Instead, a brisk walk outdoors may recharge
your batteries. Afterward, time spent on the dance floor
enjoying the reception will likely stimulate some adrenaline
to keep you going.
* Eat dinner. When family is beckoning and the photographer needs to get yet another pose, it is easy to skip dinner. Be firm with your decision to enjoy your meal. After all,
you paid for it and it should not go to waste. Besides, sitting
down to dinner enables you to rest and absorb the atmosphere of the wedding.
* Continue to drink plenty of water throughout the
night. Alcoholic beverages may be flowing, but too many
spirits can compromise your energy levels. Be sure to balance the booze with hydrating fluids, such as water or juice.
Weddings take up the entire day, and it can be easy to
succumb to a lack of energy as the day progresses. But by
heeding a few tips, it's possible to remain in top form
throughout the entire wedding day.

Tips when
toasting the
bride and groom
PAGE 10 | 2014 BRIDAL
Toasting the bride and groom at a wedding reception is a
responsibility that typically falls on the shoulders of the
bride's father as well as the best man and the maid of honor.
Though it is an honor to give a wedding toast, it also can be
nerve-wracking, as no one wants to give a toast that's memorable for all the wrong reasons.
While the best toasts are often those that veer off the
beaten path, coming from the heart rather than from a howto guide found on the Internet, there is a certain formula men
and women can follow to ensure their toasts cover all of the
appropriate bases without offending the bridal party or fellow
guests.
* Acknowledge the guests. Families are more geographically diverse than ever before, so more and more
weddings host guests who come from far and wide to celebrate with happy couples on their wedding days. It's customary for men and women making wedding toasts to acknowledge the guests, thanking them for being there. This is often
a great way for best men and maids of honor to break the
ice and calm their nerves, especially at larger weddings
where they may only know a small percentage of the guests.
When thanking the guests, be sure to thank the parents of
the bride and groom as well.
* Explain your relationship to the bride and/or
groom. Best men and maids of honor should devote a portion of their toasts to explaining their personal relationships
with the bride and/or groom. Introduce yourself and explain
how you met the bride or groom. Oftentimes, such stories
have a comical twist that can further calm your nerves.
* Aim for a jovial toast. Wedding toasts are typically
given at the wedding reception, when guests and the bridal
party are ready to celebrate. Such an atmosphere lends
itself to a jovial toast wherein best men and maids of honor
focus on happy times with the bride and groom. Tell a funny
anecdote that illustrates the special bond you have with the
bride or groom. When choosing a story to tell, remember to
keep things appropriate for guests of all ages, including
young children.
* Steer clear of alcohol before giving your toast.
Many people overindulge in alcohol at wedding receptions,
but best men and maids of honor should avoid consuming
alcohol until after they have toasted the bride and groom.
Horror stories about drunken, inappropriate wedding toasts
may seem more like an urban legend than a legitimate possibility, but the tendency for alcohol to lower people's inhibitions makes it dangerous for men and women to consume it
before giving their toasts.
* Give your best wishes to the bride and groom
before raiing your glass. Raising your glass to toast the
bride and groom is often the last step before your toasting
duties officially end. But before you raise your glass, remember to offer your best wishes to both the bride and groom.
Once those sentiments have been expressed, ask the
guests to raise their glasses and toast the newlyweds.
Toasting happy couples at their wedding receptions can
be stressful for best men and maids of honor who are unaccustomed to speaking in front of large groups of people. But
following a certain formula and speaking from the heart will
ensure such toasts go off without a hitch.

What guests can
expect to spend to
attend a wedding
Millions of people will attend one or more weddings this year.
For every couple ready to say, "I do," there is a sea of people excited about celebrating the event. Getting invited to a wedding is an
honor many people are happy to accept. Some do so before they
give ample thought to the cost involved in participating in a wedding. Wedding guests can be informed of the costs they should
expect upon mailing back their wedding response card.
Alot of attention is often placed on just how much couples
spend to have the wedding of their dreams. Little focus is put on the
expenses wedding guests will accrue to attend such an affair.
According to the latest American Express Spending & Saving
Tracker, guests can anticipate a cost of nearly $540 per wedding.
If a person will be in the wedding party, he or she can expect to pay
another $30 to $40 more.
The majority of the money spent when attending a wedding
goes toward the gift for the couple. While many people will select
an item from the bride and groom's registry, many opt to give cash.
American Express says wedding guests will spend an average of
$108 on gifts. Factors such as whether the couple is a relative or a
close friend will impact how much of a gift is given. If the wedding
reception will be held in an opulent location, where it is anticipated
the per-head cost for attendees is lofty, guests may opt to gift a little more.
After gifts, wardrobe and travel are other major expenses that
wedding guests will need to consider. If the wedding is close by,
transportation costs may be minimal. However, if the wedding is
across the country or at an international destination, travel expenses will include accommodations, dining out and airline tickets.
Wardrobe will be based on the type of wedding, whether it is a
formal occasion or a casual affair. Women can expect to pay $50
and up for a cocktail dress. Jewelry, accessories and shoes may
run another $100 more. Gentleman who already own a suit may
just need to have it dry cleaned and purchase a new tie. A new suit
can cost a few hundred dollars, depending on the designer.
Individuals who are in the wedding can expect to pay around
$100 for their gown or tuxedo rental. Women may be responsible
for their own hair styling and makeup application. Participation in a
bachelor or bachelorette party can cost bridal party members $60
and up, depending on the venue. Elaborate parties may include
travel and cost even more.
While the couple exchanging vows pays the heftiest price for a
wedding, that doesn't mean wedding guests are without expenses.
There are a number of costs wedding guests must consider before
deciding to attend.
