  • How-to-Take-Care-of-Your-Engagement-Ring

    How to Take Care of Your Engagement Ring

    From brides.com

    Your engagement ring is an important piece of jewelry. Taking care of you engagement ring should be a top priority after your fiance’ pops the question. You’ve spent your life dreaming of the perfect engagement ring. So now it’s going to be a permanent fixture on your left hand so you want to ensure it stays shiny and sparkly for years to come. From avoiding certain chemicals to storage ideas, here are a few dos and don’ts on how to take care of your engagement ring.

    Purchase Insurance

    Insurance is necessary to protect your financial investment in the event that it gets lost, stolen, or damaged. It is also important to have your jewelry appraised every five years. The cost of diamonds and precious metals go up. If you lost something that was appraised 10 years ago, the insured value would be far less than the actual replacement cost.

    Don’t Remove Your Engagement Ring in Public

    Hand washing is a must in a public restroom, but resist to remove your engagement ring while you’re lathering up. The possibility that you might leave your ring on the ledge of the sink or, worse, drop it down the drain, is too great of a risk.

    Don’t Touch the Center Stone

    Avoid touching the center stone at all costs. Diamonds and other precious stones are magnets for dust, dirt, and things like body oil. When you put on or take off your ring, try grabbing the band on either side of the stone instead of grabbing the stone itself. If your stone ever looks hazy or cloudy, there is probably something stuck underneath it.

    Keep Your Ring Clean

    Cleaning your diamonds with random home cleaners not recommended. You can clean your diamond ring with hot water, a toothbrush, and gin. Taking your precious and sentimental engagement ring to an expert jeweler to get it properly steamed clean would be a much better choice to make it sparkle.

    Don’t Treat Your Ring With Harsh Chemicals Or Put It Through Needless Wear and Tear

    A diamond is one of the world’s hardest natural materials but it doesn’t mean a cut and polished diamond can’t chip. Sometimes the top of a cut diamond can be susceptible to wear and tear. Be sure not to knock it against other hard materials or surfaces. Make sure you take off your ring during all hand-heavy activities such as gardening, cleaning dishes, moving furniture, and exercise.

    Get a Pre-Wedding Professional Clean

    A week or 2 before your wedding is the best possible time to get your wedding bands professionally cleaned by a jeweler. Your jeweler will have access to steamers and sonic cleaners. So take full advantage of those tools for your wedding day photos. Hold off on wearing them until your wedding day to maintain an ultra-clean, high-sparkle look.

  • Post-Wedding-Checklist-Tasks-To-Do-After-Your-Wedding

    Post-Wedding Checklist Tasks To Do After Your Wedding

    From brides.com

    During the busy yet exciting time that is your wedding and honeymoon it’s easy and understandable to want to relax after experiencing these two big life events. But there are still a few important items left to get done. Many couples forget about these important tasks that they still need to cross off their to-do lists after the wedding is over. From thanking your guests and vendors to finding creative ways to utilize your florals and favors. Below are post-Wedding checklist tasks to do after your Wedding and honeymoon are behind you.

    Send Thank You Cards

    One of the most obvious and important after wedding task is writing your thank you cards. And when it comes to sending these out, the sooner the better. It’s best to aim to have this done within 90 days after the wedding. Key family members like your mom and mother-in-law will thank you. You might consider writing them during down time on the plane to and from your honeymoon.

    Ensure You’ve Paid and Tipped All Your Vendors

    Check that you’ve paid and tipped all of your dedicated vendors. Review the contracts just to be sure you didn’t forget anyone, and send payment immediately if you realize you still owe them. And when it comes to tips, it really is all up to you. There are some etiquette considerations to keep in mind, but ultimately, the choice is yours when it comes to vendor tip amounts.

    Leave Vendor Reviews

    If you were happy with your vendors, share it. The best way to accomplish that is to send a personal review to the vendor or post online reviews. Other couples will appreciate your real feedback, and your vendors will love the potential to grow their business.

    A testimonial from a happy couple goes a long way. Feel free to tag exceptional vendors on social media too. They love the the positive feedback. Write thank you cards to vendors that went over the top. They’ve earned the extra praise.

    Freeze the Wedding Cake

    Toasting to your one-year anniversary with a slice (or two) of wedding cake requires a bit of pre-planning. Ask your caterer to wrap up a piece or the top tier of your wedding cake, and have someone you trust transport the cake back to your home. Cover the slice in saran wrap and then tin foil before you pop it in your freezer. And be sure it’s in a protected place. You wouldn’t want the cake to get crushed under anything in the freezer.

    Have Your Wedding Dress Cleaned and Preserved

    Your wedding gown deserves love after you’ve taken it off. If you plan on preserving your dress for years to come, have it cleaned as soon as possible. Stains will set the longer you wait. Even if you don’t think you’ll pass down your wedding dress or veil, you’ll want to remember how fabulous you looked in it. You can call your bridal dress shop to get recommendations for companies that clean and preserve gowns. Some shops may have discounts on the service that you can purchase when you get your wedding dress. Point out the stains when you mail in your dress so the company can be sure to remove all of them.

    Repurpose Your Flowers

    Don’t throw out your flowers, recycle them instead. Besides encouraging your guests to take home the extra centerpieces, you can also arrange to have your beautiful flowers dropped off at hospitals or nursing homes and coordinate the delivery with your florist. There are so many leftover flowers after the wedding. Bringing them to a nursing home or a hospital could really just brighten up their day.

    Give Your In-Laws and Parents a Personalized Gift

    If your in-laws or parents helped you out with your  wedding and pre-wedding festivities like hosting the rehearsal dinner or helped you pay for the wedding, show them that you appreciate their contribution with a personalized gift.

    Finish Your Registry

    Here is another post-Wedding checklist tasks to do after your Wedding. Don’t forget to buy whatever is left on your wedding registry. Many retailers will even offer discounts on the remaining items. But don’t wait to long for this task. This offer is usually only good for about 30 days after your wedding, which will fly by. Now’s the time to purchase more expensive items and complete sets. You don’t want one salad plate, three dinner plates, and a single cup and saucer. Close out your registry when you’re finished purchasing what you want.

    Review your Social Media

    You put time in to come up with your clever wedding hashtag. Be sure to get good use out of it. The following day is the best time to check the relevant social platforms. With Facebook and Instagram Stories ruling the content world, newlyweds will want to make sure they take time to view all the fun wedding footage posted before the 24-hour expiration time. If there’s anything you really love, ask the guest to send it to you so you can save it to your own highlight reel.

    Change the Name on All Your Accounts

    Perhaps the most boring, but very important post-Wedding checklist tasks to do after your Wedding is to change your name on all your accounts. There is no rule that says that one or either of you has to change their last name. But if one of you does choose to do so, make it a priority to complete the change across the board. Do this immediately before it gets lost in the shuffle. The list includes your driver’s license, passport, credit cards, bank accounts, and social security card. Be sure to let HR at work know that you’ve changed your name so your company can update your insurance and tax information.

  • Encourage-Social-Distancing-Safety-at-your-Wedding-Reception

    Encourage Social Distancing & Safety at your Wedding Reception

    Challenges of planning a wedding during a pandemic are constantly changing. Rules and regulations are modified often and vary by specific locations. One thing is clear that for the remainder of 2020, and possibly even beginning 2021, weddings and events will continue to look and feel different from the norm. With help from  brides.com here are some ideas on how to encourage social distancing & safety at your wedding reception during the current pandemic climate.

    If you want to celebrate now or near future, couples need to accept this as a fact and adjust. Couples and their guests will have to be okay with this and begin to plan with a more intimate and more personable wedding encounter in mind. Flexibility is key for couples for their wedding vision and guest list.  Having an open mind is a good thing. This is the time to adjust whatever original wedding dreams you may have had into a version that will work with our current pandemic environment.

    Keeping safe, Provide Face Masks

    First, a socially distant wedding begins with your guests wearing face masks. While some guests may choose to bring their own, couples should make them readily available. This way no one has an excuse for not wearing one. If you are inviting guests beyond your close and immediate family, consider conducting temperature checks and ordering custom masks for each guest to make all invitees feel comfortable.

    Encourage Social Distancing Plan for Unique Seating Arrangements

    Even with a smaller guest lists, be intentional with seating arrangements. For your ceremony, move to soft separated seating. Families are on sofas and banquettes that seat two to three people at a time of the same family. This will keep the groupings socially distanced. For the reception, place households together with no more than 6-8 people at socially distant tables. This way, families are amongst their loved ones and will feel more comfortable during the celebrations.

    Communicate Expectations

    Communication is important especially when encouraging guests to take specific precautions. Wearing a mask, sanitizing & washing their hands, and keeping socially distant.  It’s a good idea to over communicate with guests first through their invitations. Do this by explaining safety precautions in advance of the wedding. Establish clear signage at the wedding reception as well. Setting expectations in advance for your guests is crucial to keeping all guests and vendors safe and comfortable. This will encourage social distancing & safety at your wedding reception.

    Create Safe Spaces For Guests

    Advising your guests on any suggested safety measures is important. But give them room to follow your guidance. Get creative and clearly define safe spaces for all your guests. One example is to hire a chalk artist to create decorative markers six feet apart. It’s a fun way to designate where guests could safely stand to be socially distant. Another idea is to set up socially distant lounge furniture area for small groups of guests. You can create individual care kits to encourage your guests. Provide small bags with a note politely asking guests to respect some rules. These bags can include custom masks, hand sanitizer, and a small measuring tape reminding guests maintain that six feet apart. Guests will probably have a laugh with that. Some will actually take the tapes out at the reception and use them.

    Serve a Plated Menu

    The way dinner is served will influence the behavior of guests and add to the overall atmosphere. Plated meals are the simplest and most effective way to minimize guest and staff interaction. Also create less issues when it comes to the wedding meals. This is opposed to a buffet where your guests have to get up, mingle, and line up at buffet station lines. If a couple prefers family style platters or buffet-style services, it is recommended to enlist the help of catering staff.  Self-service is no longer an option with pandemic low touch regulations. In lieu of passed hors d’oeuvres venues employed new catering strategies of custom plating hors d’oeuvres. Served by masked and gloved chefs at custom-built counters made extra safe by using plexiglass screens. This helps to minimize food handling by all. A small plate beautifully arranged and customized by the server based on what each guest wants to taste will make them feel special.

    Limit Trips to the Bar

    Just as caterers & venues are reimagining dinner plating, they are reinventing how drinks are served. The bar is usually one of the most crowded  spots at a wedding. Caterers are implementing table side beverage service by a masked attendant with gloves. To reduce contact, they are assigned to service a single table.  The result, staff can serve drinks directly at a table instead of guests approaching a bar and standing in line. Fresh glasses are used for each drink served is a big plus. If couples don’t have the budget for extra beverage staff, another option is to serve sealed carafes in various shapes with different drinks at each table.

    Mail Favors To Guests

    In order to avoid the handling of wedding favors at your reception, have your favor company mail your wedding favors. They can go directly to your guests who attend and to those who couldn’t attend. You can also send virtual guests something so that they feel included in the wedding. A wedding program or a slice of cake or dessert would be some suggestions.

    Encourage social distancing & safety at your wedding reception

    In conclusion, while many traditions exist for weddings, it’s important to keep an open mind on what is and isn’t safe in the current pandemic climate. Rethink traditions that encourage close personal contact like receiving lines. While some social distancing practices may be unfamiliar—that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t welcome the new, especially when gathering with your closest family & friends. This is the best time to be creative. We’re seeing a different style of celebrations that we haven’t seen before. Don’t miss the opportunity to be creative during these times!

  • Ways to De-Stress on Your Wedding Day

    Ways to De-Stress on Your Wedding Day

    The morning of your wedding day is supposed to be a time of excitement & jubilation. But with cameras in your face, bridesmaids running in and out of your bedroom or hotel suite, and a future  mother-in-law criticizing your hair and makeup choices, the entire day can start off feeling more like a stressful occasion. Don’t let yourself become overwhelmed and consider trying one of the Ways to De-Stress on Your Wedding Day.

    Just Let It Out

    Sometimes just finding somewhere quiet to sit like on the floor, a pillow, or on a chair and just take a few deep breaths through your nose and then let out a few big sighs. As you exhale, open your mouth and sigh your breath out, relaxing your mouth and your jaw as you do so. So so a few times and each time let the sighs be a little louder.

    Eat Breakfast, Even If You’re Not Hungry

    It’s a long day, so you might have too many butterflies in your stomach to even consider eating breakfast. It’s essential to have something healthy in your body to prepare you for your big day ahead. Food really does impact your behavior and emotions. Even a simple snack will help to put you into a more positive, stress-free state with extra energy to get you through the day.

    Turn to Aromatherapy

    When you add essential oils to slow and deep breathing, it helps stress just melts away. You can do this while you get your hair or makeup done. Pick one of your favorite essential oil scents such as lavender, Roman chamomile, orange, or rose for maximum stress relief. You can choose a calming roll-on oil blend and apply it to the palms of your hands. Rub them together to warm, cup your hands over your nose and mouth, and take a deep breath. Hold your breath for a count of three, then release slowly. You can also use a dropper bottle in the shower. Just drop a few drops of, for example,  lavender on the shower floor. Turn on very hot water for a few seconds and adjust to the appropriate temperature. This turn into an aromatherapeutic session. Do this before you go into hair and makeup and you’ll feel relaxed and ready for your big day.

    Do Stretching Exercises

    Stretching before getting ready will do wonders for your stress levels. Slow down and take some time for yourself is exactly what you need before you start your big day. A nice relaxed stretching session will increase blood circulation and allow your muscles to relax and get endorphin filled blood to your brain. This will elevate your mood. You’re also likely to breathe deeper while stretching, which will lower your heart rate, stabilize your blood pressure, and lessen any anxiety you may feel! Even a quick 10-minute stretch will help you be more present and enjoy the magical day you’ve planned.

    Massage Your Face

    Stress can have a visible reaction on your face. When you’re stressed out, the sympathetic nervous system increases the heart rate, changes the salt balance in the body, and even affects your posture. Our friends at bride.com say, shoulders rotate forward, which tightens your upper chest muscle, and decreases circulation and the flow of lymph drainage to your face. This can make your face look puffy. Since you don’t want to walk down the aisle with a puffy face, try a few at-home face massages. It will instantly reduce swelling. Though this can be done with your normal skincare products. Place your palm in the middle of your eyebrows and apply pressure. Hold for five seconds, then release pressure in an upward motion up to the hairline. Repeat this motion two more times, once in the middle of the forehead and once at the hairline. Then do the same at your temples. Use both palms to apply pressure on both temples for five seconds, and repeat two to three times. To help contour your cheeks and reduce swelling use your thumb, find the pressure point located right under the highest point of the middle of your cheek. With both thumbs, apply even pressure upward and into the cheekbone then hold for a few seconds. Lastly, place your hands under your ears and gently glide down to your neck to further drain the lymphs and release tightness and stress. Also consider a simple 30 minute full body message by a professional masseuse to start your day relaxed & stress relieved.

    Release Good Vibes from the Get Go

    One of the best ways to relax on the morning of your wedding and ensure you’ll have a good day is to simply manifest it. Start off by setting some intentions and expressing gratitude for the wonderful day ahead to create positive vibes. The entire day will be a whirlwind so possibly get your hands on a crystal and keep it on you the day of your wedding. Find crystals that give a calming effect and is known for helping relax the mind. You can even tuck it into your bra.  Crystals like amethyst, lithium quartz, and lepidolite all have a good reputation for reducing anxiety, calming frayed nerves, and releasing tension.

  • Wedding Dress Alteration Tips

    Wedding Dress Alteration Tips

    When it comes to your wedding dress you can splurge on an expensive dress, but if it’s not properly altered it won’t look any better than a gown that’s significantly less money. Here are some Wedding dress alteration tips to remember from our friends at brides.com.

    Buying your dress early

    • Take the stress out of wedding-dress alterations by buying your dress early and leaving plenty of time for fittings and tailoring. It’s prudent t o but a dress 10 months before the wedding. It sometimes takes up to five months from the time you order it to arrive in your bridal salon. Schedule a fitting two months before the wedding and a final fitting no later than two weeks before your wedding to ensure it will fit just right in your wedding day.

    Design changes can add up

    • Bridal alterations can add up and it can cost $225 to shorten your gown, $150 to resew seams, etc. Some bridal salons do a flat fee like around $500 to $700 that covers anything you’ll need to make the dress fit you perfectly. Design changes can also add up such as cutting a sweetheart neckline to adding lace or beading. Make sure you factor in these costs before buying a dress.

    Consider a gown with structure

    • Never order a smaller dress to motivate you to lose weight for your wedding day. Even with diligence, you can’t predict how much you’ll shrink and it’s easier to take a larger dress in than to let a smaller one out. Consider a gown with structure which have built-in corsets that can be easily tightened or loosened. You can also try an A line, which covers lingering pounds. The slinkier the dress the harder it is to fix the fit if you gain or lose weight.

    Make sure to bring the shoes

    • Here are some other Wedding dress alteration tips. When your tailor adjusts the hem, make sure to bring the shoes you’ll wear at the wedding so you’ll be the same height you will be on the big day. If you haven’t picked out your wedding shoes yet, bring a pair with a height comparable to the shoes you’ll be wearing.

    Have an extra set of eyes

    • It’s always good to bring your mom or a friend with you to your dress fittings, just so you have an extra set of eyes to make sure everything fits just right. Bring someone with a great sense of style and an opinion you trust.

    Wear exactly what you’ll be wearing on your wedding day

    • Bring whatever undergarments you plan on wearing along with you to your fitting. You want to wear exactly what you’ll be wearing on your wedding day, including shape wear, for the best possible tailoring. This includes jewelry, gloves, and other accessories that might change the fit or styling of your wedding dress which will affect the overall look. An example is where your wedding necklace falls might influence where you want the neckline of your dress to be.
  • To Do Checklist

    Week of the Wedding “To Do” Checklist

    With only a few days left before the wedding reception, it’s  totally understandable that a few things on your growing Week of the Wedding “To Do” Checklist might slip your mind.  You should use the whole bridal entourage (including the future spouse) for help on the to do list. Keep track of your master checklist, but delegate tasks as needed. You will need all the support you can get. It’s best to get all of your to do’s in order sooner than later, so you can kick up your feet up and enjoy every second of your wedding reception.

    Go to your jeweler to get your engagement ring professionally clean so it’s extra sparkly on your wedding day especially for pictures.

    Break in your wedding shoes. Wear them for a short period of time each day around the house and walk around on a few different surfaces.

    Reach out to the last-minute stragglers who haven’t RSVP’d yet to see whether or not they’re coming to your wedding. It’s better to know the final count sooner than later for seating arrangements, final venue bill, or for those guests who might show up and have nowhere to sit.

    Sit down with your spouse-to-be and finalize the seating arrangements. Be sure to send a copy to those who need it, like the wedding planner, photographer and designated bridesmaid.

    What your bridesmaids should & should not pay for?

    Being a bridesmaid is a big responsibility and could be very costly proposition. Weddings in this day and age involve so much more than just the reception. There are several events and expenses for your bridal party to incur leading up to the big day. Are you thinking what your bridesmaids should & should not pay for? Below is a guide we found on Brides.com for who pays for what on events leading up to the big day as well as expenses for the big day.

    Bridesmaid Dress

    ⁃  This is usually covered by the bridesmaid. If the bride requests a general type shoe or accessory to go along with the dress, it is paid for by the bridesmaid as well. If the bride wants the bridesmaids to wear specific shoes and accessories to go along with the dress, then the bride should pay for them.

    The Bridal Shower

    ⁃ If the bridesmaids are hosting the bridal shower then they should all share in the expense of paying for it. If a family member, like a grandmother or aunt, offer to host a party then they will pay for it but the bridesmaids should also contribute to help cover the cost. Bridesmaids should also help with setup, breakdown, or any necessary cooking. Bridesmaids are expected to bring gifts to the bridal shower as well, either individually or as a group.

    The Bachelorette Party

    ⁃ For a single night event, the bridesmaids are all expected to split any expenses incurred for food, drink, entertainment, and transportation for the bride. This would include champagne and sage for the bride as well. If going away for a weekend everyone, including the bride, should pay for their travel and accommodations. The bridal party should split the expense of any favors, T-shirts, games, or other gifts for the attendees and treat the bride. The weekend activities should be split by all including the bride except for the “big night out” or highlight night of the weekend where the bride will be treated as above.

    Hair and Make Up

    ⁃ If the bride requires everyone to have it done by the same salon or same artists, then she should pay for it including the tip. If hair and make up is at the discretion of the bridesmaid to do it themselves or use their own artists, then it’s at their own expense.

    Travel and Hotel Accommodations

    ⁃ The bridesmaids are expected to cover their own costs to the reception for a destination wedding. Brides will usually book a block of rooms at a cheaper rate for accommodations. This makes it more cost effective for the bridesmaids. Brides will also research and shop for travel options to help find less expensive options for the bridesmaids.

    ⁃ With all of what your bridesmaids should & should not pay for they are expected to give a wedding gift on the wedding day.

  • Dash Of Class Platinum Video Enhancements

Also incorporating high energy ambient visuals during dance sets will create energy. All of these ideas will add a special touch and moment to your reception. These video and photo options go beyond your reception. All of them will be given to you on a USB drive to enjoy for years to come.

    Gather cherished photos to create a memorable life video montage sharing past memories with family and friends. There can be different segments of you alone and together with your fiance. These will be choreographed to songs of your choice. We then display it during dinner at the reception. We found presenting it at that time prevents any unnecessary down time.

    PARENT & TRIBUTE MONTAGES

    Another great time to add this would be that dance with mom, dad, or special someone. Create a touching and emotional tribute montage for a special someone who is no longer with us. When presented properly these wonderful memories scroll by on the screens adds an amazing touch for family and friends.

    VISUAL EFFECTS

    Visual Ambient Effects create energy that is tied into the music and lighting. The result is additional excitement & mood to the dance floor. Another effect is to elegantly super-size your engagement shoot photos or ceremony highlight pictures across 2 or 3 displays for an amazing & breathtaking visual effect. LED video panels can also be used as your DJ facade creating a custom design. This wide screen presentation can be used as your guests enter the ballroom, during your first dance, during cake cutting or all throughout your reception. When properly presented, this unique touch is one of the most talked about video options we offer.

    SAME DAY EDIT

    With this option, capture and share same day highlights of your ceremony with a 3-5 minute video clip. We usually recommend this as a lead into your cake cutting. Highlights of getting ready at your homes, the I Do’s at your ceremony, being introduced into the ballroom and your first dance. These clips will be professionally edited to a high impact “Best Of” for all your guests to cherish. Best is, you will get this same day edit on a USB drive to keep.
