In general, we are accustomed to renting things that we need only for a limited period of time or for a limited purpose.  We buy things that we know we’ll use over and over and over again.

For example:

1. We rent a car to drive around while we’re on vacation instead of going to the effort to buy a car for the week.
2. We rent a hotel room or condo on vacation instead of going to the hassle to rent an apartment when we get there.
3. We rent a movie from Blockbuster or your local video store if you think you’ll only watch it once.
4. We rent a carpet cleaner to steam clean the carpets as needed.
5. Guys rent Tuxedos for the once or twice in their life that they think they will need one, rather than investing into owning one.

Also:

1. We buy a house knowing that we’ll need a place to live for a very long time.
2. We buy a vehicle to drive around – again, knowing that we’ll need it for a long time.
3. We buy movies if we know we’ll watch it more than once …  Disney movies are always a hit with kids and they like to watch them over and over and over again.
4. We invest in a carpet steam cleaner if we know we have a messy house – or for the rest of us, we have dogs!

So, it just stands to reason that you would rent your wedding linens and decor from a reputable supplier instead of buying them.  Brides know that you’ll only be using them once so why invest extra money into something that you’ll either try to get rid of (and that’s a hassle) or have to give away.  Sometimes brides will spend extra money on centerpieces (fresh flower ones, to be exact) in order for their guests to take them home.  That is quite common in some areas of the country and with certain groups of people.

Don’t believe the hype that you’ll be able to sell your decor items.  Seriously, who would want to buy the used stuff that you had at your wedding?  Also, if you own the linens and decor, now you have to launder it, press it and present it in such a way as to be appealing to a potential buyer.  What if you can’t sell it?

The free classifieds are cluttered with brides who are wanting to  sell their wedding decor items.  They “hope” to recoup the cost, but of course that doesn’t happen.  Here are some examples, just from the Calgary area:

…  and the list goes on.  These are the listings that I just found “today”.  There are more and more every day with brides investing heavily into their wedding decor and then trying to get rid of it because they no longer have a use for it.

Take a look at the online classifieds to see how many brides are trying to sell their wedding dress!

Remember – YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!  Quality linens are expensive to buy, but affordable to rent.  Quality chair covers are too.  Enlist the help of a decorator and event designer – they will save you money on the front end by providing you with good quality linens at fair rental prices, and on the back end as well knowing that you have a beautifully designed event that has been put together especially for you!

Here are some tips to make including a chocolate fountain into your event a huge success:

Chocolate

1. If you are having only one chocolate fountain at your event, serve Milk chocolate.  Milk chocolate is the most popular because it’s the sweetest.  Dark chocolate isn’t sweet at all and doesn’t taste great on fruit etc.  White chocolate tends to be unpopular because it doesn’t really have much of a taste to it.
2. If you are having more than one fountain at your event, feel free to have more than one type of chocolate, like dark chocolate or white chocolate.
3. If you have lots of diabetics at your event, serve up a specialty dark chocolate fountain for them.
4. The chocolate needs to be in liquid form, not solid.   Professional chocolate fountain vendors purchase their chocolate in chip form and have a professional melter, and they provide the chocolate to you in a bucket.  Your chocolate should not be filled with filler, such as milk or oil (yuck!).

Dippings

1. Serve a variety of dipping options.
2. Fruit is very popular but you can also have things like pound cake, banana bread, marshmallows, graham wafers (mmmmm…  s’mores), icewafer cookies, cinnamon coffee cake, biscotti etc.  Some people even like to serve pretzels.
3. Be sure to follow appropriate food service guidelines at your event.  The perishable dipping items (fruit, for example) should be on display at room temperature for no more than one hour before it is discarded and replaced with fresh.  Non-perishable things like pretzels, biscotti, marshmallows etc., can stay on display for many hours without becoming contaminated.

Service

1. Always, always, ALWAYS have skewers or forks available for service.  I cannot stress this enough!  You need to provide your guests with a way to dip their food into the chocolate without using their fingers.  Once a person’s fingers get into the chocolate the whole fountain is contaminated and must be discarded according to food service and safety rules!
2. In addition, you must provide appropriate serving tools on each of the dipping items.  At no time should a guest’s hands or fingers touch any food or chocolate at the service stations.
3. Serve the chocolate fountain as a snack and not the dessert.
4. Have at least one fountain for every 50 to 60 guests, otherwise there are long line ups to get to the fountain, and NO ONE likes to wait in line for food.
5. If you are waiting to have your speeches and people are still waiting in line for their dessert, you’ll either have to wait for them (which can take forever) or else you have to start the program when people are standing in line – either way, its not a good thing.
6. Set up the fountains at various stations to allow for easy access for the guests.  Best case scenario is you have the fountains on large round tables, or at least rectangular tables with guest access on both sides – this will speed up the process.
7. Come prepared with extension cords so that you can plug in the fountains in the middle of the room instead of plugging them in against the wall.
8. Take a look at #1 again and make sure there are skewers!

Presentation

1. There are lots of ways to design your chocolate fountain table.  Position the food nicely around the fountain and offer a good variety of items to dip.
2. The fountains always come with the base uncovered.  Its up to you if you want to cover that base or not – its not very attractive though.
3. Always – always – ALWAYS put a plastic tablecloth on the chocolate fountain table.  It can be clear so as not to be too noticeable, but always use a plastic tablecloth.  The chocolate will certainly make a big mess and if you’re using rented linens, you probably just purchased yourself a tablecloth because quality chocolate stains really badly and is especially difficult to get out after its been sitting untreated for several days.
4. Alternately, purchase your own table coverings for the chocolate fountain table so that you won’t be charged full replacement fees from your linen rental supplier.
5. Its also a good idea to put a plastic drop cloth on the floor around the fountain tables.  Check with your venue – if they have carpet flooring they might insist upon protective covering.

You can find chocolate fountain vendors in your area easily by searching with Google or your local bridal network.  In Calgary, the best chocolate fountain vendor is The Chocolate Fountain.I have used them at many events and definitely recommend them.

Take a look at the difference!

You want to be involved. You have planned parties that have wowed your friends. You want to take a hands-on approach to the planning of your wedding and the prospect excites you.

Yes, the thought of planning a wedding is very exhilarating. But in reality, it is like solving a Rubik’s Cube. Getting all the pieces to work together and fit together precisely to complete the design is the objective.

It may look like a seamless process but it is not easy. A wedding requires Synergy – the interaction of two or more agents or forces so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

Much like a movie, a wedding has to be produced, scripted, edited, and directed. As a visual feast for the eyes, a wedding has to have a flow and a tempo. It needs to be as pleasing for your guests as it is for you.

As the star of your movie, can you envision yourself being the central character, producer, editor, director, and run interference for all minor details on your wedding day?

If you are having more than 25 guests, the idea of working with a wedding planner should appeal to you.  As the creative director for the most important day of your life, your wedding planner will help you avoid some dreadful mishaps that could ruin your day.

Reason # 1:

A Theme Is More Than A Hodgepodge of Great Ideas
Your ideas are fabulous. But they are only the foundation of your theme. Remember: They are only ideas and pictures ripped out of magazines. Brides have ended up blowing their budget on one item to the detriment of the whole wedding. This is where your wedding planner becomes your magician. Knowing all the tricks and resources, your wedding planner can create a theme that runs through the whole event. They see the whole picture. If budget is a constraint, they will advise you how to economize and still achieve a similar look.

Reason #2:

Is Your Budget A Guideline Or A Blueprint For Bankruptcy?

A budget is an essential part of your wedding planning. Even a million-dollar wedding has a budget. A budget will give you perspective and it will center you. It will be a great comfort to you when you want to know where you stand financially. Expenses tend to mount up quickly, and your budget will always give your a realistic assessment. I have witnessed brides being so out of control that they end up randomly buying items that have no rhyme or reason. That money could have been spent elsewhere to make the wedding a better experience for the guests. Being realistic about your budget is essential. Don’t fool yourself with a figure knowing you can go over it.  You will only be hurting your chances of selecting the best possible vendors. Your wedding planner is your accountant and will believe the budget you give them. They honestly try to work within your parameters. Therefore, decide on a realistic figure so your wedding planner can recommend the vendors who will deliver the best work within your budget.

Reason #3:

The Venue Event Manager
When the event manager from your venue tells you they can do your wedding planning, they are not lying. They will do everything under the sun to oversee everything they are responsible for; however, they are not responsible for 90 percent of the details that go into your wedding. Some brides are shocked when things go wrong. They thought their venue person would be on top of things. Not necessarily. If they have several events that day, they can’t be held responsible for letting you know your flowers haven’t arrived or your best man is held up in traffic. Imagine walking into a bald room instead of the floral intensive ballroom you paid for. Your wedding planner is your overseer. Their job is to make sure everything arrives on time and complete. If you have 15 tables, 13 centerpieces just won’t do. They will get the florist to fix it. If the videographer does not show up, they should be able to find a replacement for you. Things happen, but it is your wedding planner’s job to see that things are fixed and end up perfect. Your wedding planner is your fairy godmother.

Reason #4

Timelines And Other Annoying Details
Checklists. Do we know anyone who likes them? And timelines. “Who has time to think of these boring things? I’m getting married!” I recall one bride saying. Actually, you might not be getting married after all if the minister does not show up. Timelines are critical. Timelines are necessary. And timelines keep your wedding planner sane. They thrive on them. You, however, should never be subjected to them. These are the things a bubbling bride should be kept far away from. They will certainly kill the excitement.

Reason #5

Synergy Applies To Vendors Too
There are vendors who work so well together you almost get double your monies worth. Having a vendor with an attitude can affect everyone. Your wedding planner knows these things and will steer you in the right direction.  By involving your wedding planner in the selection of vendors from the invitations on, you will be guided down the path of success. After all, synergy is what we are striving for!

Reason #6

What Are The Rules?
Brides need a go-to person for etiquette, wedding-related questions, and to keep the planning timeline moving forward. All brides need a liaison to help keep emotions and relationships from straining during planning. Your wedding planner is a combination of Martha Stewart and Emily Post. Do you really have the time and inclination to research, answer, and solve the problem yourself?

Reason #7

Overtime Charges Accrue Faster Than Champagne Pours
One hour of overtime with a location site or photographer can cost you plenty! Everyone is on the clock and so is your wedding planner. The difference is your wedding planner is on your clock. They keep everything in motion so extra costs are avoided. In the end, your wedding planner is the most cost effective choice you can make.

Reason #8

Frazzled Is Not Fabulous
Wedding planning and the events that lead up to your day will be stressful. You should have one job only. Keeping yourself relaxed and living in the moment. You need time to take in and enjoy this special day. Be with your loved ones. Be happy. Be kind. And mostly, be assured that your wedding is going to be the most fabulous day of your life.

Yes, all weddings have glitches. And yours will, too. But your wedding planner will make sure you never have to deal with or see them. You may never even know anything out of the ordinary happened. And that is the sign that you are a genius at wedding planning. You started out with great ideas, hired a wedding planner to bring them to life, and sat back like a pampered princess on your wedding day accepting all the accolades that you deserve.

I was hired to provide decorations for their reception spaces.  They had a dining hall for 200 guests with white chair covers, black satin sashes and beautiful fresh red rose centerpieces (which they prepared themselves).

I provided black sparkle overlays which looked so fantastic in this room!  There are a lot of windows so the natural sunlight shone beautifully off the sparkle overlays – creating almost a prism effect.  It was stunning.  I accented the tables with red rose flower balls to complete the look.

Here’s what this space looks like “before”:

Have you ever wondered what chair covers look like without the sash?  Take a look:

Sometimes brides ask me if they really need a sash on the chairs.  The answer is  – it’s up to you.  Its a question of style and preference.  Which do you prefer?

We added the black sashes to all the chairs and the black overlays on the head table and cake table.

Look at this beautiful head table and cake table!  Can you see the shimmer on the overlays?

After the reception, the guests were invited into a different room for dancing.  They had a live band and the guests danced the night away!

The client had decided only a few days before the wedding to put chair covers on the chairs of the dancing room.  Initially she asked for white chair covers with no sash.  I “suggested” that they go for black covers with a white sash, so its a mirror image of their reception room.  I’m glad she agreed!  What a difference!

This goes to show what an impact chair covers and decor make on your wedding reception.  I heard a funny comment from one of the guests as they entered the reception room.  They said: “Oh look, the chairs are wearing tuxedos!”  I got a kick out of that!

Brides, you can never go wrong with white and black.  It will always be in style, its contemporary and very elegant, yet simple.

You can accessorize with any one color you like.  Here, we used red.  Eggplant Purple is this year’s “hot” color, next year’s hot color is turquoise.  I have done black and white with pink accents, with burgundy accents, with silver accents – you name it, it will look great!

Remember – the easiest way to transform your reception area from a corporate banquet into a special event space is to add chair covers!  Very simple, relatively easy and certainly affordable!

The idea definitely sounds terrific. But before you rush to call your brother to join you in shopping for a wedding gown, you also have to know that involving family and friends in wedding preparation can be quite of a challenge. There are several things you have to know about this process so you do not end up offending someone or burning bridges with a certain person. Here are some tips regarding this matter that you would find very useful for your upcoming wedding.

1. Give everyone a role he or she will love. Make a checklist of all the tasks you need help with and list all the people whom you think will be suitable for the job. Make sure you consider the person’s personality, taste, style, skills, experience, and hobbies.

For example, for your gardener sister, you would want her to assist you in choosing flowers. Your brother who is fond of sports cars would probably love choosing the right wedding car with you. It would be best to appoint your fashionista best friend the task of shopping for (or designing) the bridesmaid’s dresses.

2. Involve both families in the wedding preparation. Always remember that this wedding is not just about you but it about you and your spouse-to-be. Therefore, you should never forget that the groom’s family should also be involved with the preparation.

If just in case you feel that some family members are being overly engrossed with planning (or in other words, nosy!), you can put him or her in charge of something that you do not care much about. For example, if you do not give much importance to the guestbook, you can ask this family member to take care of it. See, you can make solutions to such problems without offending anybody.

3. Delegate the tasks efficiently. Aside from considering the personality, skills, and taste of a certain family member or friend, you should also take into account the working attitude of that person. Never give difficult or very important tasks to people who lack responsibility. If your cousin is known for being a latecomer, do not risk ruining the event by letting her keep the CDs for the processionalnusic.

4. Make the preparation fun. Keep in mind that these are your family and friends, they are not your slaves. See to it that you make the whole thing a fun experience for them so that they will not feel like it is a chore to help you. Schedule meetings in restaurants or coffee shops, keep it light and funny, and do not sweat the small stuff. In short, do not be a bridezilla!

5. Give them a thank you gift afterwards. This is very important. Your family and friends put much effort into making the event special and memorable. Do not forget to give them some token of appreciation at the end of the affair. By all means, say thanks to them in your thank you speech (if ever you are giving one) and make special mention to people who played major roles in the preparation and organization of your wedding.

Wedding is one of the most significant milestones in any person’s life. And because your family and friends are some of the most important people to you, you would want them to be a part of this once in a lifetime celebration. Make sure you get them involved but without giving them too much trouble.

Photographic Style – Are the images that you are shown, what you would like to see? There are “buzz” words flying about everywhere about photojournalism, formal, classic candid, and so on. Do you want a mixture of black and white or only colour photos?

Truth in Advertising – Is this the photographer that will be photographing your wedding or will they send in whomever is available. Don’t be shocked, this happens more often than you can imagine. Be certain that you know which photographer is going to be there and that you see HIS/HER work and meet with that individually face to face.

Personality – Is the photographer that you meet someone that you can get along with? Is the “chemistry” there?

Appearance – Ask the photographer how he/she intends to dress. Is this person well groomed?

Price Range – Although, the last thing you want to do is shop by price, is this person within your budget? If not, is he or she worth the price difference? Make sure you understand what everything costs, including reprints and albums.

Delivery – How long does it take to get your proofs back, thank you cards, your finished album, your bridal portrait, etc.?

Offering – Whether it’s a la carte or a package, do you understand what you are getting? Is there any room for changes and will it cost to do so? Sometimes the packages are fixed, sometimes they can be customized, in any case, ask. How much time will he/she spend? What if you need more time? Make sure that you know what’s coming.

Contract – Do you understand the contract. Is it fair? Is everything spelled out? When it comes down going to court, only what is WRITTEN really counts, not what was promised. Make sure that you have no doubts before signing. Read it ALL.

What about deposits and payments? What does it say about cancellations and the photographer not being there? If the photographer protests, ask him why? This is one area NOT to take lightly. You could be disappointed for a long time.

References – A personal reference is always the best and people love to talk. Get a list of references from the photographer and check them out personally. A photographer who doesn’t have references or is afraid to give them to you may not be the person that you need to hire.

Other Questions: (some questions may be repeated from the list above)

• Have you shot a wedding at my location before?
• Do you have an assistant?
• Do you have backup equipment and is it the same quality as the primary equipment?
• What time will you begin and how long will you stay until?
• When will the proofs be ready?
• Do we get to keep the proofs?
• Do you mark your proofs?
• Where and how are your proofs marked?
• How much extra for unmarked proofs?
• Do we get to keep our negatives?
• How long do you keep the negatives and will you sell them to us?
• Do you use high speed film to expose natural light?
• Do you have tele-photo and wide-angle lenses?
• Do you work well with the other vendors? i.e.: coordinators, caterers, videographers.
• Can you work from a photo checklist that we create?
• How will you be dressed?
• Do you process and develop your own film and prints?

What goes on the all important contract?

• The name of your photographer
• The time that he/she arrives and leaves
• The number of proofs you will view in order to pick your enlargements and/or keep
• The description of the package you ordered
• A list of guaranteed prices for enlargements. If they have a brochure with prices then get the photographer to write down that the prices on the brochure they gave you are the prices that you will be charged.
• The cutoff date for these brochure prices.
• All additional charges, services, taxes, travel, etc… Get the exact cost on the contract.
• An explanation of what happens if your photographer doesn’t show up.
• The date and deposit amount and how much is still owing.
• Your name, address and phone number. The names and addresses of the ceremony and reception locations.

The biggest wedding decision you’ll make (other than picking the guy) is selecting the locations for your wedding & reception.  The venue sets the scene for every other aspect of your wedding, so it’s important to know all of the factors to consider when choosing your venue.

You probably have an image in your head of what your wedding location may look like and that’s a good place to start.  But the first decision to make is whether or not your ceremony and reception will occur in the same location.  If not, then you must consider how large a geographic radius you want to search for your two venues.  It’s best to keep your distance between locations as short as possible.

Be prepared when you begin researching venues.  It’s best to have a wedding date and guest count in mind before beginning the big search.  The first questions you’ll be asked are what is your wedding date and how many guests are you planning.  The type of reception meal that you are planning also plays a role in size of venue.  A seated dinner for 150 requires more space than an hors d’oeurves reception.  Keep the venue size proportionate to your guest list.  If a venue is way too big then your event will be drawfed by the large space.  More importantly, don’t try to cram too many people in a small area.  Keep in mind your other space needs like: dancing, cake display, dj/band, buffet, etc.

Budget obviously can be a make or break factor in selecting your venue.  Plan for the reception (including site fee, food & beverage) to account for about half of your total wedding budget.  So, if a location far exceeds that percentage, keep looking.  Another way a venue can affect your budget is the amount of decor required to achieve your desired look.  If you pick a bare space, keep in mind you’ll spend more money to decorate than a space that has some style of its own.

Flexibility of the venue is also important if you are having both the ceremony and reception in one location.  It’s also crucial if you are planning an outdoor ceremony or reception.  There must be a back up facility in case of inclement weather.  And, a tent alone is not enough of a back up plan.  Please don’t book a venue on a wish and a prayer that the weather will be perfect. So, the goal is to hope for the best but plan for the worst.

Once you’ve established your criteria, selecting the venue should become much easier.  If you do not have a particular type of venue in mind from the beginning, then browse the numerous directories online to see what category of venue strikes your fancy.  Just a few of the venue possibilities to consider are:

Religious,  Historic,  Gardens,  Hotel,  Private Club,  Event Ballroom,  Restaurant,  Museum/Library/Arts,  Resort,  Inn/B&B,  Vineyard,  Equestrian,  Academic,  Arena/Stadium,  Public Park,  Riverfront,   Beach

After you’ve browsed the facilities online and narrowed down your prospects, it’s best to call and schedule an appointment for a tour.  When viewing venues, check out their bridal books & photos so that you see what real weddings in the space can look like.

Choosing your venue is important but it can also be quite fun if you establish your criteria ahead of time and prepare for your appointments.  Just remember, your wedding is what you make it!
