1. Mason Jarsonce the rage for decorating, we are now hearing that they will be making their way “out of the picture”.
Mason jars could be seen at just about every rustic wedding; either to hold flowers, candles or being used as drinking glasses. It seems as though the trend is heading in a similar direction; but using different sizes
and textures of glass for their decorations. Some couples are mixing in golds, silvers & metallic too!

2. BurlapIt seems as though the trend has passed.
Maybe it’s the mess that burlap leaves behind or that you can’t really ever cut it straight. Maybe it’s the fact that it frays so easily or
that it has a different, even unpleasant odor at times. Trends are now heading toward
more romantic and whimsical themes with the use of more natural “organic” elements.

4. Chalkboardseverywhere you turned there was a sign stating where to go, what to do, who was who, and so
forth. Trend setters say that the trend has passed. Instead, it is being replaced with beautifully
printed signs in frames (designed to match your wedding stationary) to let people know where
they are to be seated and what’s going on.

3. OmbreCakes, dresses, hair … but like many other trends, this one has seen better days. No longer is ombre “stylist”. The new thing is going to be pale colors
and hints of flowers within the designs. Much more muted and subdued than the ombre.

best day everFROM EMILy STOTTER,
OF NORTHuMBERLAND: Keep it simple. The more •you plan to incorporate, the more there will be to do on the day of. Keep it small. Don’t invite every •second cousin and friend of your parents. Make your guest list the people you’re closest with, so when you look back on the day, even years from now, you’re still really happy with who was there.hire someone to take care •of the day of to-do list. My husband was running around like a wild man all morning. Don’t forget to stand up •and thank everyone for coming and celebrating the most inprtant day of your lives with you.
FROM BRANDy CROMLy, OF SELINSGROvE:
research the vendors thoroughly •prior to committing. Absolutely ask for photos of past clients, and ask for samples of items when appropriate. It is also helpful to look at online reviews. The vendor we used for our linens gave us a swatch of fabric which was helpful when planning decor and outfits. Take the time to plan out a list •of must-have photos you want with family members to give to the photographer. Photos take a large amount of time and it would have gone a little smoother if we would have planned better. Be sure to book hotel rooms in •advance. We waited a little too long to book the rooms for our out-of-town guests and didn’t realize that there were multiple events going on in the area.
FROM ASHLEIGH AND MICHAEL ESPINOSA, OF LEWISBuRG:
enjoy the wedding planning •process. Do not fret over a detail that will probably go unnoticed anyway. your guests will celebrate with you no matter which Pinterest brainstorm didn’t work out. A great photographer and •videographer are worth every cent you pay them. remember to have matches •down with the unity candle, and not far away with the groomsmen who were nowhere near the mothers. If you are planning an outdoor •ceremony with unity candles that are in hurricane holders, have a plan in place to pull the fiery candle out without risking burning your hand or setting yourself on fire. eat! We wish we had taken more •time to enjoy the food, which guests are still raving about.

FROM BRITNEy LEPLEy, OF MCCLuRE: I came into the relationship with Cory as a single •mom, and we incorporated my son into our vows and ceremony. The vows we wrote to each other and our son were without a doubt the most meaningful moment of the day!Sharing our love with all our closest family •and friends. It was amazing having everyone we love in the same location to celebrate our marriage. There is no better way to start a new chapter in your life than that!having a wedding video to look back on. our •wedding day went by so quickly, and when it was over I was somewhat saddened by it. you spend so much time and energy planning and it just goes by in the blink of an eye. When we recieved our wedding video, we were able to relive the day over and over again. This is without a doubt the best investment we made!
What made their day special:
FROM BROOKE ROWLES: The very best aspect of our wedding was the •first look. Not only did it calm my nerves being able to see him and speak with him prior to the ceremony, it was time effective. We did our first look and formal portraits prior to guests arriving and drank and laughed the whole way through. It really helped everyone relax and have fun. Being able to watch our day in action is the •best, so hire a videographer. It’s been over a year, and I still watch our video and relive how I felt through the day all over again. It’ll be a great memento for our future children. We had live music over a DJ. It brought •a raw and authentic feel to our wedding moments, especially during the ceremony.

for most of your wedding guests the wedding stationery they recieve
from you, either the save-the-date or the formal invitation, is the first impression they have of your wedding. The stationery sets the tone of the day, it gives your guests an idea of what to expect, not only with factual information but the look and feel. Here are a few tips for creating the best first impression possible.
1. Choose stationery that reflects your style as a couple and the love you share. This isn't a time for cookie-cutter invitations from a catalog with generic fonts, swirls and other boring nonsense. This is the most important event of your life, so go custom! Sit down with a designer and talk about what makes your heart beat a little faster, what you love to do as a couple, and show your guests your unique personality in your wedding paper products.
2. Have fun with paper! There are so many options when it comes to paper selection. go with something shimmery for an upscale, classic event. go with a textured cream
colored paper for a rustic wedding. Choose a kraft (brown, speckled) paper for an eclectic, laid-back feel. There is a lot more to paper than your standard white stocks! Think outside the box.
3. The finishing touch: Choose from a wide variety of awesome folder or pocket envelopes that bring your whole collection together. Pick envelopes that correspond with the colors you've
chosen for the wedding! Add a transparent belly band to wrap everything up. Choose a unique printing method such as letterpress or foil printing that will really wow your guests. The sky is the limit when you go with custom invitations. Pick a theme, your colors, and any other specifics that your heart desires, and it's yours in a couple of short months!

Deciding wether or not to invite kids to your wedding can be quite the headache. Some family members might refuse to come if their wee ones aren't in tow while other guests don't want to listen to a crying baby ruin your vows. If you do decide to invite kids, a kids-only table at the reception is a great way to incorporate them. It also will give their parents a nice break and keep them from running around like crazy. Just be sure to seat their parents at a near-by table to keep an eye on them. At right is a list of some ideas of what to include at their table. Be sure that the items can't cause any damage to the venue or to the kids (no choking hazards). It is also polite to ask the parents first before including candy at the table and if the kids have any allergies.

5quick tips on Wedding Stationery
Bethann Aurand, owner, raspberry Creative
DOn’T FORGET TO FAcTOR In pOSTAGE WHEn yOu ARE plAnnInG
yOuR STATIOnERy BuDGET. one of the most common mistakes couples make when planning their stationery budget is overlooking the postage. Depending on the type of invitation you choose, you may, at the very least, require a minimum of two stamps – one for your invitation suite and one for the response envelope. AlWAyS be sure to have someone at the post office counter weigh a completed invitation before mailing them. This will guarantee that you have the proper postage.
Bonus tip: Square costs more no matter what. Avoid a costly mistake and make sure that you consider this when selecting a square invitation design.
SAvE THE DATES AnD InvITATIOnS ARE juST THE BEGInnInG.
Many of our brides don’t realize, when they first begin planning for their wedding stationery, that there may be more than they want or need to complete their Special Day. We call those items “the Day-of” things.
This may include programs, place or escort cards … or maybe a seating chart. Menus, table numbers or other signage are also common needs. Some brides even need more specialty items like a tag or label for their favors, or a door hanger to go into their welcome bags. regardless of what you are planning on doing, considering this as part of the wedding stationery package will alleviate stressing over what to do at the last minute. regardless of your needs, these special day-of items go a long well to helping personalize and coordinating your day.

cOnSIDER IncluDInG REHEARSAl DInnER InvITATIOnS In THE
MAIn InvITATIOn SuITE.you can opt to print a smaller number of invitations
for other events such as welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, and farewell brunches and insert those into the larger suite for only certain guests. responses are often handled with a simple email address or phone number for these slightly less formal events. It saves you time and expenses associated with an additional mailing – postage, envelopes, addressing, etc.
ASk FOR AccOMMODATIOnS On THE REply cARD.
Most people don’t think about this, but when you are planning a wedding with a lot of out-of-town guests this may prove to be very beneficial. This is especially true when you plan to include welcome bags or will be providing shuttle services to and from the venue. Knowing where your guests are staying will be helpful when planning for these additional services. even when you have a block of rooms, some guests may opt for their own accommodations to make use of travel points or for other reasons.
kEEp TRAck OF ADDRESSES In ExcEl.It is a great idea to use excel to keep track of
your guests, how many people you are inviting, who is coming, and keep track of all their contact information in one place. It will even help you when it’s time to plan your seating chart (if you are doing one). From this spreadsheet, you can easily print labels or your own envelopes, or provide this to a calligrapher, etc. It will also help after the wedding when it’s time to send out thank-yous, you can type their gift in when you open them so you don’t lose track. Start this spreadsheet while you are planning your wedding so it’s ready when you do your save-the-dates. have your parents help you with this. They will often have addresses for family members which will save you a lot of time.

This may seem like a no brainer; but it’s really not! I can’t tell you how many times at a wedding the DJ makes the announcement: “Now the Mr. & Mrs. will be making their way to their cake for the cake cutting...” and we get to the cake, set up, ready to shoot, and the couple leans in and says to me: “Wait, how do we do this?”
Well it’s only natural you don’t know how! If you’ve never been married before, how would you have ever cut a wedding cake? I mean this isn’t just cutting a cake, the American wedding tradition itself has turned this into a wedding eVeNT. your friends and family are all around you, there’s this big buildup, everyone is waiting; how are you suppose to do this??
here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way to steer you in the right direction:
Before the wedding, decide together how you •want your cake cutting to go. Will you play nice and nicely feed each other a piece? or are you up for whatever and see how you can get each other with the cake? If you smash the cake in her face is she going to be mad? Talk about it in case one of you feels strongly about it!Choose your favorite flavor for the bottom •layer or largest part of the cake, as this is where you will be cutting from. To reduce costs, some couples will opt to purchase a smaller cake to set out for the cutting, and a larger sheet cakes for their guests, which is kept in the kitchen to be cut and served afterward.Choose a keepsake knife and spatula to cut •your cake with. Some couples like to re-use them on anniversaries. This can also be a way to incorporate a family heirloom into your day if your relatives have a set they have kept.have your caterer set out at least •1 plate and napkins with your cake. Also 2 forks if you wish.

Cuttingthe cake:
remove any decorative ribbon, beading, or 1. decorations your cake may have around the bottom layer. The bottom of the cake is where you will be cutting from. The very top layer is saved for you two to traditionally freeze and eat on your 1st anniversary.
If you plan to cut your cake in a spot other than 2. where it is set up please let the photographer and the caterer know so that they can set it up for you. Also, allow your photographer time to position you. There may be a better angle or lighting for these photos.
using the long narrow knife of your cake cutting 3. set. The bride’s hand usually goes on the knife first and the groom may place his right hand over hers so you can cut the cake together. The groom should be standing slightly behind and to the right of the bride. Traditionally, this moment is meant to be symbolic of the beginning of your life together, so it should be cut together.
you’re ready to cut! With your hands together 4. on the knife, cut two cuts forming an upside
down V, or a typical looking triangular slice of cake. use the wider of the cake cutting set to scoop, and pull the slice out and onto a plate.
you can then use your forks, or, use 5. your knife to cut your piece in two if you wish to hand feed each other.
Now you can either feed or smash; it’s up 6. to you! Be sure to pause afterward for an after-cake shot for your photographer, and be prepared for your family and friends to want a photo too; icing on your face or not!

meet the cover couple:
Bethany Berge &clifton kern
According to Bethany: Clifton and I found each other on ChristianMingle.com. Cliff was on it a grand total of three days before I snatched him up! our first
date was one for the books. Because of our love of the outdoors, we decided it would be cool to go on a hike at Pinchot Park. I know you never go on a
hike for a first date with someone you never met before. It was dumb on both our parts for agreeing. To break the ice, we each brought a "peace offering"
of sorts. I brought a jar of canned venison (a family tradition) and Cliff brought fresh veggies from his own garden. Funny fact we found out later, both of
us decided it was smart to carry our personal defense. Both Cliff and I have concealed carry permits. luckily for us the "peace offering" worked well and we did not need to resort to other measures of keeping "peace!" It was a little bit of a rocky start since Cliff wasn't a huge fan of talking but he opened up
quickly. our mutual love for the outdoors, hunting, rock climbing and adventures made getting to know each other exciting and fun. Clifton proposed a little
over a year later, this past September, on a hike on top of Pole Steeple.
Big Day: june 20, 2015The couple was married in lewisburg on June 20, 2015.

before I even book a couple, I like to sit down with them in
person and go over everything; hear their story, their plans, as well as answer any questions they may have. I also ask questions and sometimes make suggestions. During these meetings, sometimes we talk about wedding trends and ideas which brings up one of the newest (and, might I add, in my opinion brilliant!) trends: First looks.
Now, I'll admit; when I first heard of this, I thought: "oh that's so neat! But NoNe of my brides are ever going to go for something like that-it's just too non-traditional.” Which, it is. But, then I started hearing the feedback from brides and grooms who decided to do it, and photographers who have shot first looks, and not only found that there are a lot of brides and grooms who are interested in this, but that this could turn into a whole new tradition in itself with all of the benefits it offers!
A "first look" is when a bride and groom see each other privately before the ceremony. The groom is
placed with his back to where the bride will approach, and then turns around to view his bride-to-be for the first time; all the while being documented by photographers. Then, the bride and groom can take a moment to talk with each other; just the two of them, and the groom gets to tell her right there just how gorgeous she looks.
Many couples like to take a few moments to talk, relax, or even pray, before the craziness of the day actually begins. Then, they have bride and groom portraits taken before any big tears mess the make-up or curls loosen.
for an y budget!

many brides-to-be will stray away from this idea for
the following reasons: REAcTIOn. As brides we want
that reaction from our groom when we walk down the isle. We want the TeArS! It's one of the most anticipated moments of the day. But if he doesn't cry or react the way we had imagined, we're almost a little disappointed. For many grooms though, this isn't because he's not emotional, it's sometimes just because he's so nervous.
RElATIvES juST WOn'T HAvE IT. "oh my goodness my mom would freak." Is this is something you could say? We love our moms, we love our grandmothers. But if this is something you are interested in and would like for your wedding day, then I encourage you to do what you want. It's your wedding day, and it should be how you both want it.
IT'S juST TOO nOn-TRADITIOnAl. It's true! It is! But, it's an AMAZINg idea for so many reasons...
cAlMInG. Many couples say how much it calms the nerves to be able to have that quiet, calm moment to themselves before their day actually begins. remember the grooms that don't react to the bride because they're just so nervous? here ya go. Truth is, most grooms still tear up during the walk down the aisle after a first look because this is The MoMeNT. It's really happening; you're getting married.
MORE pHOTOS. Couples who do a first look end up with 40% more photos together than those who do not. And these photos are taken before the tears of the ceremony take place, and your hair loosens.
HAppy GuESTS. Couples that do portraits together during their first look, don't have as many to take after the ceremony.
Which means you can get to your reception and guests SooNer! Many couples wait until after the ceremony to do their family portraits, bridal party photos, and then romantic bride and groom portraits in which I usually suggest to allow at least two hours for to cover everything. With a first look, we can get all of your after-ceremony portraits done in as soon as 45 minutes.
TIMElInE SAvER. Many brides-and grooms-to-be begin stressing, trying to figure out how they are going to allow for enough time for portraits. This goes back to "happy guests" above. Since you have already taken the time with your husband to do portraits beforehand all that's really left are group portraits. Sure we'll snap some of the two of you alone together afterward, but we don't need to plan an hour's worth. Also evening and late fall brides: when your ceremony is over it's dark or soon getting there.

how to be the bestBridesmaid
Remember, this isn’t about you. your number one job is to be helpful, supportive and to celebrate the couple.
Ask how you can help. The bride is going to be overwhelmed with her to-do-list. offer to take something small off her plate. even if you can’t help with a physical task, help her emotionally, be an active listener and give her a shoulder to cry on.
Pay attention. Know what is going on, both before the wedding and the day of. Don’t procrastinate paying for your dress or planning the shower. on the day of make sure you know when and where you need to be at all times. you don’t want to be the reason that the ceremony starts late.
Get dressed before the bride. Put on your dress before the bride gets into hers. If you are wearing matching robes make sure the photographer snaps a photo before you change. you don’t have to be 100% ready to go before the bride slips into her dress, just be ready to help her. The photos will look much better if all the maids look aisle-ready, even if you aren’t. No one will notice if you don’t have your jewelry on in the photos, but they will know if you are late because you had to put it on before the getting-ready shots were taken.

Don’t make snarky comments. your number one job is to be helpful, supportive and to celebrate the couple. Constant comments belittling marriage will quickly add to the stress of the bride and groom.
Ask how you can help. The couple is going to be overwhelmed with a long to-do list. Ask what you can do to help alleviate some of the pressure.
Pay attention. Know what is going on, both before the wedding and the day of. Don’t procrastinate getting fitted or finding a date. on the day of make sure you know when and where you need to be at all times. you don’t want to be the guy taking shots at the bar when everyone else is waiting for photos to be taken.
Help out the best man. Don’t leave all the bachelor party planning, and general helping, to the best man. you will be partaking in and helping pay for the festivities so help do some of the work. Also, pay attention to what the groom really wants, don’t plan a bachelor party he will hate, even if you will love it.
Take it seriously. you are helping one of your closest friends through a very nerve-racking, yet exciting, time in his life.

countless weddings take place in the Valley each year. Most of the couples are locals getting married where they live, but there are numerous
couples who are natives of the Valley who currently live elsewhere but are planning their big day here. Brandy Bauman, of The Fairy Godmothers Event Planning, shared some of her advice on how to stay sane when planning your wedding from miles away.
Bauman's biggest piece of advice is to hire a wedding planner. They can meet with vendors face to face for you. A planner also has experience, which can save you money and countless

headaches. Bauman knows that it is "lots more stressful on you since you aren't there to see it." one such knowledge tidbit that the Fairy godmothers bring is knowing which venues are all inclusive, so you don't have the extra cost and hassle of renting linens, tables, and chairs. Planners also have learned from the past mistakes of other brides and can help you avoid the same ones.
Another aspect of hiring a planner is that many provide the service of setting up and tearing down the wedding for you. Bauman says this allows many brides to be more relaxed on the day of. having someone else take care of the setup means "you can be pretty and not look tired." Fairy godmothers also provides decorations, so you don't have to bring 50 apothecary jars with you from georgia (and then figure out what to do with them the day after the wedding).
Staying organized is key to pulling off every wedding but it is especially important when you can't run home for that one thing you forgot the day of your wedding. A way to keep organized is to make a "here and there" list-what can you do where you live and what has to be done where the wedding is taking place. Finding your dress near where you live will make fittings easier, so will addressing invitations and putting together
your favors. The florist, caterer, hairdresser and makeup artist should probably be at the venue to make the wedding day easier.
"Pinterest has created a monster. It gives lots of ideas but you have to narrow it down," says Bauman. Knowing what you want will also help make planning easier, on both you and your planner. An idea board, such as those found on Pinterest, is a great way to communicate your vision of
vintage chic to your vendors. If you are looking for a very specific shade it is best to pick up a few paint chips which you can mail to your vendors so that everyone knows the exact hue.
having a wedding planner as your proxy is great but you should also try to plan at least two trips to the area prior to the big day. on the first trip make sure to sit down with your planner and iron out all
your ideas. It's also a great time to look at venues. you should make your second trip about two months before the big day. At this time you should check in on all your vendors to be sure that your vision is being executed perfectly. Be sure to arrive at least three days before the wedding day to tie up any loose ends. It is also a great time to hang out with family and friends before the day of, when you will be overwhelmed with emotion and people trying to get your attention. having a planner with you the day of to run inteference with everyone vying for your attention helps a bride stay more sane. Bauman says that she takes care of any last minute "emergencies" and the couple doesn't even know something went wrong. "The peace of mind is worth paying for," to have someone else take care of any drama, according to Bauman.
Kelsey ginck said her biggest stress reliever is to remember that "when you're [planning] long distance you can't do everything yourself!" ginck, who is a Northumberland native currently planning her wedding from New Jersey, is delegating small tasks to her mom, such as checking out the hotel where guests will be staying and picking up decor items. Delegating to family members or your bridal party is a good way to knock a few items off your own to-do list.
When you're planning long-
distance, you can't do everything
yourself.

1 The weather Fall temperatures tend
to be cooler. your guests won't be sweltering in the summer sun nor will they be shivering (well grandma might, so take along a few blankets for your older guests to cover up with).
2 Natural backdrop The changing leaves
are the perfect no-cost background for your ceremony.
3 Pie Who doesn't love a good
slice of pie? Seasonal fruits and vegetables are even more delicious. Skip the traditional cake and slice into a nice apple or pumpkin pie.
4 Pumpkins gourds of all kinds make
great decor items, you can use them for vases, centerpeices, escort cards and more. you can also get them a bit cheaper if you wait until the end of october into early November.
5 Bonfires Who doesn't love to
sit around the fire and toast marshmallows? especially as the temperatures start to dip after dinner. Create a s'mores bar for your dessert or favors and let guests have fun around a fire. Just make sure you have a friend or family member who will light the fire and tend to it for the evening. (Also, be sure to ask if open flame, especially bonfire sized, is allowed at your venue).
6 The light The sun's light is less harsh
during the spring and fall, which makes for better photos. The sun also sets earlier so you have more chance of getting the perfect end-of-the-evening snapshot.
7 Barn venues rustic weddings are trendy
this fall and a barn wedding is the perfect fit for your rustic affair. Add in the drying cornstalks in the field next door and you're golden.
8 The colors you don't have to stick
to the traditional oranges and yellows (but they are gorgeous if you do!). you can add in rich earth tones, such as emerald greens or deep burgundy. earthy hues play wonderfully with the natural autumn colors.

"Pre-cell phone days, we were the last to leave the reception and got out to the parking lot and had no car to drive back to my apartment. The caterer gave us a ride home."
- Dot St John Brennan
"My chair covers wouldn't fit over my 200 reception chairs. My mom and her significant other stayed for several hours at the winery and used truck headlights to cut the covers and tie bows over them. guests couldn't tell there was ever a problem, but I had a moment the day before!!"

"My best man broke his jaw trying to do a flip at the reception! he was taken to the hospital, but thankfully he's ok!"

"At my first wedding when we were feeding each other the cake, I bumped the table the cake was on and knocked the top tier with the topper on it onto the floor." - Jennifer Sunderland
"I was in a car accident the night before my wedding with my
bridesmaids in the car. life-flighted with my head in a box. Thankfully I was released that night and my bridesmaids didn't have a scratch, but we had to cancel the morning beauty appointments for the group of us. only half an hour late to the wedding too!"
- April Styers
"My photographer went into labor on my wedding day. She was quite early. It was a great day
and we got pictures from family and friends. She sent her assistant but her photos were not good."
- Joy Barilla
"The baker screwed up the order and made the wrong flavor cake, then she didn't decorate the cake right and wanted to put real (dirty) seashells on it and the back of the cake starting collapsing when she set it up. I get to the church to find my soon-to-be husband saying the guy just delivered the flowers. great! I go check them out and they are completely wrong and made with the wrong flowers! They looked like headstone toppers. Then the pastor tells me he can't get my wedding music to play. I end up walking down the aisle to a Christian contemporary song! We are not even done eating when they call us up to cut the cake, then throw the bouquet, etc... By the time that was all done, the cake was packed away and we didn't even get any. The DJ forgets to do the parents and bridal dance. reception's over, the new hubby and I drive to a beautiful cabin in the mountains for our honeymoon. We get there around

10:30p.m. only to find all the screens open and the lights on for us. That was so thoughtful but the BugS! We spent 30 minutes killing bugs so we didn't have our blood sucked dry during the night. Thank goodness I had my humor to get me through it all."
- Sherry hahn
"our DJ was arrested two weeks before the wedding. luckily my dad and his friend had DJ equipment and they did it for free for us! Then at the wedding our songs for the special dances would not work! luckily my sister is awesome and downloaded the songs to her phone and saved the day for us."
- Janelle ridner
"It started off two weeks before the wedding. I got chickenpox at the age of 24 and almost had to cancel. I was quarantined from everyone, so the wedding party couldn't get near me. I couldn't finish fitting the gowns so I just finished them off with the sewing machine in my apartment, in hopes that they would fit. on the wedding day I passed out in the chancel area for portraits, my maid of honor brought the offering dish for me to get sick in, hardly got any portraits done of myself in my gown. Arrived at the social hall to find out whoever left the night before never cleaned up the rehearsal dinner stuff! My flowers were never finished nor was my headpiece. The caterers decided to serve everyone but the wedding party first."
- Valery lewis-eichner
"My (now) ex-mother-in-law waited until the end of the night of our
open bar to tell us she didn't have the money to pay for it. So we had to open up our wedding cards to take money out to cover the costs."
- Jessica Woodard
"our reception site was closed by the Department of health the day before our wedding because a large group of people got food poisoning at an event held the night before. We were left with 24 hours to figure out how we would feed 150 people ...in the end they ended up getting a caterer to bring in food, when my father threatened to come up there and help them figure out the problem in person."
- Jerri Kost Brouse
"My grandma fell and broke her hip while walking to the back of the church to be escorted down the aisle. She stayed, but later went to er and ended up having surgery."
- Shawna Burns Klinefelter
"My first wedding; it was beautiful weather as I walked down the aisle. The wedding was outside at my parent's house. As we were saying our vows it started to downpour and a mini tornado touched down in the yard! It knocked all the tents over, chairs flipped...things ruined!"
- Dawna grooms
"We had an outdoor wedding the weekend of the flood of 2011. Some family and friends couldn't make it in because of closed roads, some guests couldn't come the day of because they had 10 feet of water in their basements, rehearsal dinner food couldn't be picked up because roads to Danville were closed so we improvised and due to time crunches, our rehearsal attire consisted of the sweaty clothes we wore all day. our photographer (a family member) missed our first dance and didn't get one picture of just me and my mom. our cake melted due to the humidity and hit the ground before the reception even started, and my Moh left early because She was tired and had a stressful week! Fortunately we had an amazing day anyway."
- Tammy Kwiterovich Tweed
"A month before the wedding, the venue we reserved for the reception called to say they had accidentally double booked and had to cancel my reservation. I was so stressed, but we were able to find an even more beautiful place to celebrate."
- heather Kerlin Boyle
The delivery truck carrying the tuxes was in an accident and the tuxes were

perfectingthe sparkler exit
sparkler exits at the end of a romantic wedding up the hot factor- literally! I’ve done quite a few and to be honest, they can
be terrifying. No one likes a bunch of fire that close to their heads ... especially when the fire is being held by individuals who may have had one too many signature cocktails. Don't get me wrong, sparkler exits are BeAuTIFul, when done right. So how can you make sure it is done right? here are my tips for
planning the perfect sparkler exit:
1. Make sure you have the RIGHT sparklers.
Not all sparklers are created equal. That being said, there are the classic sparklers we see on holidays that burn for 5-10 seconds and cost nothing at all. Then, there are sparklers that are appropriate for wedding send-offs. These sparklers are 20 or 36 inches long. They can burn for a minute or two and produce enough light for your photographer to snap some photos.
2. Make sure you have someone in charge.
Don’t make your photographer be in charge. They

have enough to worry about, like death by sparkler. have someone, SoMeoNe SoBer, lead the pack. They mainly have to worry about making the announcement things will begin, getting people lined up, and making sure sparklers are being lit quickly.
3. Use more than 1 lighter.
lighter. As in grill lighter. Much safer than matches or cigarette lighters. have a few- maybe 4- and start them at different spots in line. All too often, there is one lighter, and by the time it makes it halfway down the line, the ones at the start have begun to go out. We want a big impact with our sparklers, so we want them all lit at once!
4. Don’t wait until the very
end of the night.I know you want that dramatic
exit, but when 1 a.m. rolls around and you’re ready to put your tired booty to bed, how many guests will be left? Don’t wait until the end of the night your pictures will be better for it!
5. Make sure the venue is on board.
No one wants to get kicked out of a venue on their wedding
day. Plus, some venues have strict guidelines or require insurance for sparkler exits. If you let them know what you plan, they may even have some helpful suggestions!
6. GO SLOWLY.Don’t run as fast as you
can during your exit. Chances are your photographer is trying to soak in all the ambient light they can or has off camera flash set up. even so, when it is night, cameras can’t catch subjects that are moving very well – especially if they are trying to get the dreamy sparkler effect. So go slow – stop and kiss a little – use those one to two minutes of lit sparkler time well!
7. Be safeThis is a given, but needs
to be listed all the same. Make sure you are safe and that your guests are safe as well. have metal pails for them to toss their used sparklers in. Make sure a fire extinguisher is handy – NoT IN The CAr – it needs to be there! Don’t let guests walk around with lit sparklers and make sure children are supervised or don’t have a sparkler at all!
Sparkler exits can be so fun and beautiful! Just make sure you talk with your vendors, photographer, and someone in charge to make sure you are all on the same page.
