Truth: If you are a bride planning a spring wedding, you’ve spent

some time agonizing over wedding day weather.

And, let’s face it, while spring brings with it all the charms of colorful flowers and warmer days, it is also notorious for its unpredictable weather patterns. It could (and will) rain when you least expect it.

Instead of fretting over inclement weath-er, use these four tips to embrace the season.

Trust Your Vendors …Wedding vendors are

skilled professionals, and it is very likely that

your wedding is not their first. This means they understand the unpredictability of the weather and have had

to deal with the issues that arise because of it. They understand that this day is one you will remember forever,

and they would rather be remembered as a venue or florist that took the stress out of your day rather than

having added to it.

… But Not Too MuchJust because they

are skilled profession-als doesn’t mean you should trust that they will all offer the same level of service. Make sure you read the fine

print in each vendor contract to under-stand their approach to handling inclement weather. If you are having an outdoor cer-emony or reception, understand if a backup location is provided or

if that responsibility falls on you. If you are planning on having live music, check with your band. Some musi-cians feel uncomfort-able playing near rain because of what the dampness might do to their instruments and equipment.

AccessorizePlanning for rain

opens the door for colorful accessories. Purchase matching umbrellas for you and your spouse — or just one large one to share. Rain boots in a cheer-ful color will brighten any dreary day, even becoming conversa-

tion-starters or show-stealers during picture time.

Use The RainThe rain can be a

great prop, and you have the chance to cap-ture amazing photos you wouldn’t have the opportunity to capture on a sunny day. Most wedding photographers have had to deal with rainy weddings before and are skilled at using the rain as a backdrop. Don’t be afraid to get wet. The tuxes are rented. The dress will be laundered. Embrac-ing your day for what it is will only add to its beauty.

BlushBlush is a term that has been used to describe

many different colors, ranging from a golden champagne color to a deeper rose. Typically, blush-colored dresses are a pale pink — as if

go boldWhite may still be the

charming and traditional choice

for a wedding dress, but colors from blush to black are making their way down the aisle in quick and bold fashion. Let your personality shine through in full color. Here are a few pros and cons to the most popular white-alternatives.

your white dress were “blushing.”

Pro: The color is sub-tle and soft. Wearing a blush dress can lend a romantic note to your celebration. While defi-nitely not white, it also doesn’t rock the boat of tradition too much.

Con: It may not look great on everyone. Like red lipstick, you have

to find your shade. Pick the right shade for your skin tone and the result is classic and romantic. Pick the wrong shade and you could look washed out or naked. Bringing a friend or family member with you — people you can count on being honest and having your best interests at heart — is a great way to figure out what shades look better on you if you are unsure.

BlackOnce reserved for

funerals and board-rooms, black has made its way into the wed-ding industry in the past few years, and the results are stunning.

Pro: It’s bold, and it makes a clear state-ment. Brides have been wearing white since Queen Victoria brought it in vogue in 1840. Wearing white is a beautiful and classic choice, and one that guests expect. Choos-ing white’s antithesis is

not only a completely vintage choice (before Queen Victoria, brides always wore color), but unexpected. If you are looking for a “wow” factor, black will cer-tainly deliver.

Con: While fashion has brought us a long

way, there are still some who consider black to be a color of mourning, and you might have invited such people to your wedding. The key to overcoming this obstacle is not caring. If you feel beautiful, then you will be stunning.

BlueFrom pale silver to

dark midnight, blue is a unique option that can both surprise and delight your guests.

Pro: Your “something blue” is covered. Blue

also lends a certain fairytale quality to weddings. Cinderella anyone?

Con: There is the potential that it will look more like prom and less like your wed-ding day. The style of

your dress is key. Con-sider implementing less sparkle on the dress and letting the beauti-ful color stand on its own. If you still crave a bit of glitter, wear a jeweled headpiece or shoes.

Want to incorporate color in your attire in more subtle ways? Wear a sash around your waste in a bold color that matches your flowers and decor. Or wear colorful shoes and have your groom wear matching socks that you flash on the dance floor or whenever you sit down.

Have fun planning your wedding reception by thinking outside the

traditional sit-down dinner and wedding cake. Serving food at stations or “bar style” can be a fun option for offering up (un)traditional fare in a fresh way.

Whether you want to incorporate a food bar just for appetizers or dessert, or you are look-ing to forego a formal dinner, these tasty and innovative stations are one more way to show your guests who you are as a couple.

Here are a few recep-tion bars that have nothing to do with cocktails:

Fondue StationCheese or chocolate?

Both are crowd-pleas-ers and both offer a variety of tasty dipping accoutrement that will delight guests. Fondue works great during

cocktail hour, or in addition to or in lieu of wedding cake.

AntipastoThink crostini sta-

tion, the intersection at which crusty breads meets your choice of tomato bruschettas, olive tapenades, spicy salamis and all a vari-ety of cheeses.

Candy BarNo cake? No prob-

lem. Satisfy your guests’ sweet tooths by showcasing your favorite candies in clear glass jars, like you’d see in a vintage

drugstore. You can even offer

small paper bags or boxes so that guests can fill them and take them home, doubling your dessert as guest favors.

Popcorn BarWhat is a better

late night snack than popcorn? If you plan on dancing the night away with your guests, a popcorn bar could be a fantastic addi-tion to your reception.



You can offer various flavors, such as movie style, cheese or kettle corn. Encourage guests to spice it up with dif-ferent salts or spices, such as cinnamon or paprika.

The best part about reception bars? Your imagination is the

limit. Virtually any food can be turned into a chic, self-serve station. They are totally cus-tomizable to your taste, personality, and even geography.

Hosting a Southern fete? Offer a biscuit bar with various spreads and toppings. Or a

sweet tea bar with assorted syrups guests can add, such as peach or raspberry. Never been a fan of the tra-ditional “chicken or beef” option? Create a taco station. Any one of these is sure to be something your guests remember forever.

Best of all, hashtags, by their very nature, collect all of the photos attached to it in one place. No idea where to begin? Just keep in mind that the ultimate goal is usability: You

want people to use it so you can see the aggregate of fantastic photos.

There are several wedding hashtag gen-erators out there if you’re feeling cre-

atively crippled. (Wed-dinghashtagwall.com and weddingwire.com are two such sites). But remember wedding hashtags are personal, so don’t overthink it. Here are a few tips to

get you started:

Keep It SimpleStart with some

combination of your names: First, last, nick-names, initials. Your

Our parents put disposable cameras on every reception table; we have Instagram. Creating a personalized hashtag is the hottest new trend to hit weddings and can

be a great way to gather photos from your special day — especially moments that you may have missed because you were busy taking family portraits, or just staring at your spouse thinking, “I can’t believe we’re married.”

#Married


Spring bridES | #MARRiEd

hashtag should not only be a reflection of the two of you but also be easy to remember. Capitalizing the begin-ning of each word in your hashtag keeps the message clear and helps people distin-guish what you are saying (for example, #MeagenandCarter). Bonus: It doesn’t mat-ter if your guests capi-talize every word. It will work either way.

Have Fun with ItPlay with turns of

phrase, idioms and alliteration! Think: #ForeverYoung, #Weber Wedding, #HappilyEverAllard.

After you think you have a few you really like, check and see if others have used them. Chances are you won’t be the first couple to use #MeantTo Be. Hashtags are public, and depending on how popular your favorite

one is, you might not want to have to wade through hundreds of photos of other peo-ple’s weddings to find yours.

Numbers are a great way to set your hashtag apart from the rest. Think wedding date or year, or another num-ber that holds special meaning to you.

Advertise ItOnce you’ve suc-

cessfully chosen your

hashtag, spread the word. Make sure it is prominently displayed on your wedding web-site and save the dates.

It should also appear in multiple locations at your reception.

Couples have chosen to display their hashtag everywhere from wel-come signs to cocktail napkins. Make sure your guests don’t have to search too hard, and your wedding hashtag will be a social media hit.


Spring bridES | BudgET BASiCS

The equation for creating a wedding budget is seemingly simple: Think about what type of wedding you want, think about what type of wedding you can afford, and hope that those two images align as much as possible.

The cost of the average American wedding is on the rise at roughly $32,000, according to a survey con-ducted by wedding planning giant The Knot. However, a wedding does not need to be a costly affair.

While it is easy to witness

For many couples, a wedding is

the first major event they have ever had to plan and execute. It also might be the first time they have prepared and followed a budget, which is no small feat.

other couples’ wed-dings or view endless stylized photos on Pinterest and feel like there is a standard to which you must adhere, most couples that go over budget do so not because they are trying to keep up with the Joneses. They spend beyond their budget because of assumptions they made and hidden costs, which add up quickly when you don’t stay as informed as possible.

Set PrioritiesThe entire day is

important to you. It’s your wedding day. But if you had to pick three

things that you would rather not compromise on, what would they be? Write them down.

Now let the stress of everything else go. Knowing what your priorities are and being on the same page as your spouse will help keep you both account-able. Also when plan-ning your budget, keep in mind the things that are important to you — not just in the wedding, but afterward. This will help guide you toward financially smart choic-es. You don’t want buyer’s remorse over the money you could have put toward a new car or apartment.

Have The TalkAs uncomfortable

as it is to talk about money, especially with loved ones, it is neces-sary for creating and maintaining a success-ful budget. Talk with your spouse. Talk with each of your parents and anyone else who might be contributing to your celebration.

You don’t want to be in a position where you thought your parents were going to contrib-ute a certain amount toward your wed-ding, only to find out halfway through that they are contributing much less, or not at all. It is not anyone else’s responsibility to pay for your wedding, but if someone does wish to contribute, you need to know how much.

Constantly ReevaluateIt is also important to

realize that the catego-ries you create in your

budget exist to help guide you but are not set in stone numbers. Through your planning process, you might come to find that you allocated much less for photography than

your local industry demands.

You might not need as much money for music as you originally thought because your cousin’s up-and-coming band offered to play at

a family discount. Reg-ularly evaluating and reevaluating your bud-get keeps you on top of what things are actu-ally costing you and allows you to reallocate funds as necessary.

However, a regis-tration list can also be stressful to create. What do you need the most? How much do you need? Where do you register? Here are some of the most important things to remember as you navi-gate through the pro-cess:

Do set up your reg-istries early and check them often. As soon as you announce your nuptials, you will have guests who want to know where you are

registered. To avoid receiving unwanted items, register as soon as possible. You will also want to check your registries often to make sure that as guests purchase items, there are still gifts at a variety of price points from which others can choose.

Do register at more than one place. This is important for several reasons. First, guests may prefer one retailer to another. Perhaps they don’t like to shop

online and certain shops are easier for them to visit.

Registering at mul-tiple locations also allows you and your

significant other to pick out a variety of items. Choose retailers that you and your spouse enjoy shopping at fre-quently. Many vendors

have registry programs that allow couples to purchase items left on their registries at a discounted price after their wedding date has passed.

Don’t overlook the everyday items. Even if you already have a house or apartment, or you and your spouse are living together and you think you have everything you need.

There are items that you will never stop needing, or not want multiples of. Already have a toaster, pots and pans, and flatware? Use this opportunity to upgrade your bath towels, or register for another set of bed sheets in a fun print and high thread count.

Don’t request cash. It is always going to be tacky to outright

request a dollar amount from your guests. If you and your spouse are try-ing to save for a big-tick-et item, such as a house or your honeymoon, set up a registry account.

This allows guests to feel like they are con-

tributing to your future, instead of handing over an impersonal check or gift card. Also expect that some guests will want to give you a tan-gible gift no matter what.

Do it together. Creat-

ing a wedding registry is not only a time for you and your spouse to bond but to mesh your styles into one. Discuss-ing patterns and color preferences now will make putting it all away and using it more enjoy-able later.

Do write prompt and personalized thank you notes. There is no exception. You must thank every person who gives you a gift. Customize each thank you card by mention-ing the gift and how you plan to enjoy it. “Thank you so much for the salad bowl, Aunt Wilma. I can’t wait to use it at our first dinner party!”

This will show that you were thinking of that guest, and her thank you card isn’t a carbon copy of another.

Some of the best tools at your disposal exist not in your bathroom or high-end beauty counters but in your kitchen. Mother Nature, lovely as she is, has given us plenty to create a pre-wedding beauty regimen.

Concern: Dry and dull hair

Try: Olive oilUse olive oil in place

of your conditioner after using your usual shampoo. It is simple as that. Olive oil is packed with great fatty acids that nourish and moisturize your locks. Looking for a deep con-ditioning treatment? Instead of rinsing out right away, apply and wrap your hair in a towel for 15 minutes, then rinse.

Concern: Uneven skin tone

Try: Coconut oilThe great thing

about this treatment is that it triple-tasks as makeup remover, cleanser and moistur-izer. Best done at night, rub roughly a table-spoon of coconut oil all over your face, messag-ing the skin for several minutes. Remove with a warm, damp wash-cloth first by holding the cloth to your face and allowing the steam

to open your pores, and then slowly mes-saging the oil off. Rinse the cloth as needed.

Concern: Puffy eyes

Try: Tea bagsSoak two tea bags

in warm water before chilling in the refrig-erator for about 10 minutes. Place each tea bag over one eye and let rest for five minutes. The caffeine in the tea will reduce most swelling for a dramatic, immediate difference.

Concern: Weak and slow-growing nails

Try: Milk and lemon juice

Soaking your nails in this mixture for 10 or so minutes will help promote strong and healthy nails. You should start to notice a difference after a couple of treatments. Really want to pamper your hands? Follow up by messaging a natural oil, such as olive or coconut, into your nail beds to soften cuticles and the surrounding skin.

According to a poll by the Clinton Global Initiative and Micro-soft, 66 percent of mil-lennials believe there is solid evidence of global warming, and about 75 percent say it is because of human activity.

In turn, these envi-ronmental advocates are taking action by planning weddings that relay less on dispos-able products and fossil fuels and more on sus-tainable practices that can lead to a healthier environment.

Follow our sugges-tions below to integrate a little of this approach into your spring wed-ding.

Choose Earth-Friendly Vendors

One of the most meaningful steps you can take is to enlist the services of Earth-friendly vendors. These businesses are com-mitted to following environmentally sound

processes when pro-ducing and delivering their products, which can range from paper flower bouquets to sus-tainable invitations.

There are card com-panies that print their materials on 100 per-cent post-consumer recycled paper or alter-native non-tree fibers. Some businesses pledge to plant a tree for every order you make with them. Knowing you had a positive impact on the environment in your wedding planning will give you that extra feeling of satisfaction.

Choose Local VenuesThe less distance

you put between your church and reception hall, the less pollution you are inviting into the atmosphere through the burning of gasoline in the vehicles of your wedding party.

This seems like a small step, but consider how many cars will be traveling around town on the day of your wedding. Inviting 200 guests means you’re probably also invit-ing 50 to 100 vehicles

onto your community’s roadways. That’s a large carbon footprint you could lessen by keeping things confined to the same building or ones that are close in prox-imity.

Recycle Your FlowersMany companies

across the country col-lect flowers after wed-dings and re-purpose them for delivery to nursing homes and shelter facilities. By choosing to participate in such an arrange-ment, you are pass-ing along some of the beauty of your wedding to even more people around you.

These companies also keep your flow-ers out of landfills by composting them into usable materials for gar-dens and other uses.

Look around in your area for these types of services or offer to do it yourself in collabo-ration with your local nursing homes or shel-ters.

Tips for perfect nails

You will be showing off your new wedding ring to all of your guests at the reception, so you want your nails to look their best.

As you know, the options for how to pre-pare and design your nails are endless. Choos-ing the right color of pol-ish is just the beginning.

Prepare Your Nails Since you know your

nails will be near the center of attention when the focus is on your ring, start taking care of them

months ahead of time. This means stop biting your nails and cuticles. It also means moisturize your hands often to get them ready to shine on your special day.

You can’t expect a nail technician to be able to fix damage caused by improper care. This comes down your effort in maintain-ing healthy hands and nails today and beyond.

Know Your PreferencesYou probably already

have a favorite nail look from past formal events you have attended, such as other weddings or your prom. If it’s not bro-ken, don’t fix it.

This day is all about you, so the more familiar you keep these kinds of details, the more relaxed you will feel throughout the day. There’s nothing worse than experiment-ing with a new nail application only to find it makes your hands feel clunky and awkward when you want them to feel comfortable and natural.

Have a Backup PlanNails break and paint

chips. Will you be pre-

pared if something like this happens on your wedding day? It’s a good idea to keep extra bot-tles of polish in multiple locations.

If you will be sport-ing artificial nails, be sure to pack a repair kit comprised of extra nails, glue and other items that will enable you to make a quick fix in the case of a nail breaking.

Consider having one in the room where you will be preparing, as well as one in your purse or the purse of your bridesmaid — that way you’ll be prepared to handle an emergency situation without stress.
