Letter from the Editor

There are so many traditions surrounding weddings today that it makes it hard for anyone who wants to push the boundaries

readers may want to do but because if the stigma they feel like they cant. This magazine celebrates the differences in all of is and

I watch “Say yes to the Dress” on TLC all the time as well as the million other wedding shows on that network

(seriously, why are there so many?) like “Four Weddings” and I’ve noticed that every single bride who wants

to push the boundaries has very little room to push. Those who are trying on wedding dresses and want to

choose a color other than white or a style that is unusual is questioned and treated like a leper. The couples on

“Four Weddings” who do anything out of the ordinary are criticized and given low scores by the other brides.

What everyone on the outside has forgotten to do is remember that this is not their wedding. A wedding can involve hundreds

of people but it is really only about two and if they decide after the ceremony the bride and groom are jumping in a pool in

their wedding dress and tux it is no one else’s business (except maybe the owner of the pool) and no one has any room to judge.

4 DIY DosIf you do your own makeup, you’ll be in the privacy of your home or hotel room -- and you won’t have to book an appoint-

ment (or worry about being on time)! Grab a few basics: foundation, powder, eye shadow, blush, and lipstick. Put on enough to accentuate

your best features. Worried about looking washed out in your photos? Do a trial run and have a friend take a few pictures.

The ceremony lasts less than an hour, so it seems like a waste to pay big bucks for specialty arrangements, especially

-

A quick way to save money on wedding favors is to add a personal touch. Sweet treats are a safe choice. Grab a box of your

favorite mix and start baking. Pack them in colorful boxes or cute bags. For nonedibles, wrap up tree saplings or donate to charity. Be sure to

give guests handwritten cards that say you’ve given in their name.

Specialty papers, postage, and card sizes can cost hundreds, and you still might not be

off of your compute void the mistake of getting too fancy and using oversized envelopes -- they cost extra to mail.

Looking to have a wedding like none other -- at least like none other you’ve ever attended? Don’t be afraid to try something new and

What do we enjoy doing in our spare time? Which is our favorite season? Favorite artists, movies, and music? Favorite era? Once

you’ve unveiled your personal style, you’re ready to take the second step and start developing a wedding-day theme.

Your theme doesn’t have to be something so complex as a Hawaiian luau, replete with a roast pig, leis, and grass skirts, but it should pinpoint

host your ceremony at sundown, have wedding programs designed in shades of the sunset (from burnt orange to pale pink) and choose am-

ber-color pin-lighting in your reception venue. Need more ideas? Here are 15 ways to craft a one-of-a-kind celebration.
