New York City’s iconic St. Regis was a no-brainer for our ideas issue—the legendary hotel epitomizes timeless elegance. We knew we got the cover shot when our incredibly talented photographer Sergio Kurhajec had our stunning model step in front of the bay windows in the Fifth Avenue suite. Something magical happened when the curtains opened up and the light came through the layers and layers of this ethereal Carolina Herrera gown. We were mesmerized!
The lobby is home to an original hand-painted mural and Waterford crystal chandelier that date to 1904.
In the Versailles room at the St. Regis New York, we channeled the famous Astor family who entertained here.

CARLEY’S LETTER
welcome to thee ideas issue! There’s so much that goes into planning a wedding that it’s easy to get caught up in the big decisions. But it’s the small and special bursts of personality—a custom motif or a cleverly concocted and coined cocktail—that guests remember. To help make your day memorable, this issue is packed with fresh inspiration for every detail, including the best advice from the world’s top wedding pros (p. 196). Here are some of my favorite new ideas:
magical mixing Forget the old rules about sticking to one style or color family—mixing and matching vibes and shades in unexpected ways creates a far more interesting look. Just look to the artful blend of styles in “A Lesson in Contrasts” (p. 214). Rather than contrived or cookie-cutter, the look is a perfect balance of effortlessness and elegance.
posh prints
@carleyroney CARLEY RONEY
RONEY: DANIELA STALLINGER
Monograms and motifs are classic choices, but for a more fashionforward way to tie your look together, incorporate patterns like chevron, ikat and even polka dots. A simple palette keeps it clean. Get inspired by the ultra-chic play on prints in Anne and Marc’s Real Wedding (p. 250).

alison awerbuch If you’ve attended a catered event in New York City, chances are you’ve experienced the innovative culinary expertise of Alison Awerbuch. As a chef and partner at Abigail Kirsch Catering Relationships, Awerbuch caters, designs and manages more than 1,600 events (and dozens of charity galas) each year. She dishes on why off-site catering can be so expensive (p. 128).

Although she got her start working for some of the top fashion photographers, KT Merry eventually found herself completely inspired and in love with weddings. Today, the fine art photographer specializes in destination weddings, using natural light and gorgeous locations to create a beautiful story. See her work in “A Lesson in Contrasts” (p. 214).
meredith perez After attending Parsons The New School for Design and working for Calvin Klein, Meredith Perez blossomed creatively when she founded Belle Fleur. As New York City’s top floral design boutique, Belle Fleur is routinely featured in the media and at celebrity events. Perez’s romantic style is evident in the boutonnieres she designed for “Perfect Match” (p. 222).
brian worley What do award ceremonies, royal polo matches and celebrity weddings have in common? Each has been produced by eco-friendly event planner Brian Worley. As coowner of YourBASH! Event Productions and television’s top event guru, Worley always finds a way to put a unique spin on décor, like this twist on a chandelier (p. 89).

From the sale of her first lipstick to her celebrity status at fashion week, Bobbi Brown’s mission has remained consistent: to make a woman “look and feel like herself, only prettier and more confident.” In “10 Things Every Bride Should Have” (p. 148), she shares her wedding-worthy beauty tips and offers brides some simple reminders (like waterproof mascara!).

probably suffice. But if you think you’ll have reason to wear a tux in the future, it may be worth buying one. Look at it this way: Renting costs about 25 to 30 percent of the price of a new tuxedo, and you won’t necessarily get the cut or the style you want. Buying a decent tux will cost you, but if you get invited to a lot of functions, it will pay for itself after three or four events. And as long as it’s a classic style with a notched or shawl collar—and you don’t grow a gut—you’ll be able to wear it for a few years.

for the wedding reception dinner. What are the pros and cons? —emplatacis A Having a buffet gives your guests a full meal with the benefit of choosing which foods to eat. Although you might save money on waitstaff, a buffet is not always less expensive as you’ll need to order more food than you would otherwise, and you may also have to rent buffet-service equipment. If you do opt for a buffet, you’ll want a wedding reception manager to carefully monitor the food as it’s served so lines don’t get too long or serving platters too empty. You could also choose to have a T-shaped buffet to help with the line’s traffic flow.

Q
I’d prefer to not have my guests texting or taking photos during the ceremony—is it okay to ask them to hand over their cell phones at the door? —qkellygirl
A
Asking your guests to check their phones is a little excessive if you’re not Kim Kardashian or Michael Jordan. But it’s totally within reason to set some ground rules if you don’t want your first kiss to go viral or a flurry of “check-ins” from your venue. Put up a sign asking guests to turn off their phones and to not take pictures.

We already have a blender (and pretty much everything else!). —zup28w A Sorry, but in a word—yes. You should never ask for specific gifts, monetary or otherwise. What you can do is let guests know (if they ask) that you would prefer cash gifts. Let your parents, siblings, wedding party and close friends know too—that way, they can relay your preference if anyone asks. But don’t announce it in a formal way to your guests (whatever you do, don’t mention it on the invitation!). Still, some guests will want to buy you material gifts, so it’s a good idea to register somewhere for a few items. And, of course, be sure to accept and acknowledge every gift gracefully by sending thank-you notes. As for monetary gifts, let the giver know how you intend to spend it. >>

party work? Do you have any planning pointers? —beetini A The best thing about a wedding reception after-party is that there really are no rules— the planning and execution is entirely up to you. The one etiquette must is inviting all of your wedding guests. A majority of them (like your parents’ friends) probably won’t attend, but they’ll appreciate the offer. In terms of planning, you can host an open bar affair in another room at your reception site, reserve a space or a few tables at your favorite bar or lounge in advance, or make it more of a spontaneous, let’s-keep-thisparty-going affair.
Ever since we announced our engagement, they’ve been bombarding me on all sides with wedding demands. I’m ready to elope. Is there any way to deal with this?
tipsy situation
Q Gratuity is included for the bartender at our catering hall. At the reception, should we put up a sign by the bar that says, “The bride and groom have provided all gratuities for the evening,” so guests know they don’t need to tip? —loca4pook A Even if gratuity is included, as the hosts, you should cover all tips—for valet, coat check and bathroom attendants, as well as bartenders. Guests shouldn’t be expected to open their wallets at all. Most wedding guests know that the bride and groom take care of the tips, so a sign isn’t necessary. But make sure to let your caterer (and reception manager) know that you’ll cover all tips and that tip jars shouldn’t be displayed anywhere. Have it written in your contract to confirm it won’t be an issue.
—mrsliggett 7
A For better or worse, your fiancé’s family is part of the package. You don’t want to get off on the wrong foot with your new family, so diplomacy is the name of the game. Pick your battles: Is it really worth it to be on his aunt’s bad side forever, or should you just ask her son to be an usher? Unless you plan to never see her again postwedding, the latter is probably a better option. For more petty requests, a polite (and truthful) answer is in order. When his cousin-in-law emails you to find out where her invite is, simply say, “We’re very sorry, but with the cost of the wedding we just can’t invite everyone.” It’s harsh, but what else can you really say? And when it comes to the bigger battles, don’t be afraid to enlist his help. After all, he knows them better than you do, and probably knows how to defuse a fight (especially when his ’rents are really on the warpath). If you can explain the situation to him in a non-accusatory way (think, “I need your help,” not “I’m ready to smack your sister”), he should be on your side and by your side—he is your fiancé, after all.

fashion flash
maternity wedding look Here’s the reality: More and more brides are pregnant at their wedding. And while there are beautiful maternity bridal dresses found in Tina Mak’s affordable and elegant collection (TinaMakWeddings.com) and in the classic and versatile range from Luxe by Séraphine (SeraphineMaternity.com), many designers are showing at least one or two dresses that could translate into “maternity” wedding gowns, according to Terry Hall, fashion director of Kleinfeld Bridal. These gowns are often made from lighter fabrics, such as chiffon and stretch jersey, that beautifully drape around the body, creating an elegant, flowy look that’s especially flattering for expecting brides, Hall says. It’s important to consider how far along you’ll be on your wedding day, as that can determine the type of silhouette and material you’re comfortable in, he says, adding that a full A-line or ball gown with an empire waistline would be perfect for pregnant brides at full-term.

nuptial trend
f ancy e lopement “We eloped” doesn’t mean what it used to. According to Sunna Yassin, event director of Alison Events Planning & Design, “eloping” isn’t about just the couple and a low-key vow exchange—it can range from 10 to 50 people and is more of a destination wedding or group adventure that requires planning, logistics and a budget. Hot spots like Bermuda, Los Cabos, Mexico and St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands are at the forefront of this new trend with beautiful settings for small, intimate and meaningful celebrations. They not only offer lots of sunlight and beaches but also amazing resorts with tailored packages for couples to create a great vacation for them and their guests.

You can choose any flavor, such as lavender-infused or organic dark chocolate, but remember to keep the font simple (try Times New Roman or Arial), so everyone can easily read the menu. Get an engraved version at Delysia ($20 each with a minimum of 25, Delysia.com) or a painted menu in milk, dark or white chocolate at Edward Marc ($12 each plus $60 tooling fee, EdwardMarc.com). >>

virtual wedding Let’s face it—more people are moving around the world and living farther away from home. With fewer couples meeting where they grew up, hosting a wedding that gathers everybody in one place is much trickier than it seems. This explains why live streaming weddings is becoming a growing trend. In 2012 alone, live video broadcasting channel UStream hosted 250 percent more weddings than the year before. So don’t worry if Grandma Jane can’t make it to the wedding—just have her click on UStream.TV or make a video call on Skype or Google+ Hangouts. All you need is a solid Internet connection. >>

Okay, we all know invitation wording is complicated enough in one language, now imagine getting it right in two or more. Intercultural couples are looking to show multiple languages on one invitation instead of printing different sets, which means there’s no need to sort out which families get which language, says Ceci Johnson of Ceci New York. It’s especially important to work with a designer that has lots of experience with numerous languages, as different ones need to be laid out specifically in order to be read properly (Chinese reads from top to bottom, left to right; Arabic reads from right to left) and your designer may need special fonts to design your text, according to Margot Hallac, founder of Atelier Isabey. To pull off the look, Johnson suggests keeping the font legible and making sure the text (regardless of the number of languages) looks good together and fits with your personality, style and overall theme.

Hanging décor draws your eyes up.
Wedding décor is going to new heights. Whether it’s floral chandeliers, glowing market lights, lightbulb installations or fabric drapery, décor is literally coming from all directions. And going for tall, towering centerpieces can make your venue look bigger and more grand, says Amy Shey Jacobs of Chandelier Events. So if you’re looking for a unique wow-factor without obstructing your guests’ view across the dining table, think suspended lights, lanterns or greens for a warm and intimate feeling or lighting a fully draped ceiling with swagged fabric to create a glamorous setting. Tents are perfect for hanging décor as they naturally come with rig points (like beams or poles). Other venues may be trickier, but your planner can work out the details—just remember to get written approval from the site manager.
art registry
Forget dinnerware—the hottest item to register for is art. With almost 70 percent of couples already living together before getting married in 2012, most are looking for something less traditional and one-ofa-kind to add to their registry. Art can be a meaningful gift and a solid investment, according to Jodi Cohen and Sarah Lowy of JOWY Productions. You can start your registry online at UGallery.com/registry, which gives guests the option of contributing to part of a painting or purchasing a gift card to the site.

For couples that are health conscious but don’t want to sacrifice style, Andrea Correale of Elegant Affairs says gourmet cotton candy is becoming an unexpected element for your wedding. It can be matched with a coffee cup or cocktail glass for a whimsical and elegant look, or you can even have your waiters parade around with cotton candy sticks for a fun, interactive experience, Correale says.

OVER-THE-TOP HONEYMOONS Honeymoon resorts go above and beyond to make your postwedding vacation a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
1
natural adventure
Start your honeymoon off by tracking New Zealand’s national bird, the kiwi, at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers’ conservation project (from $1,146 per couple including breakfast and dinner, CapeKidnappers .com). Then, for panoramic views of the Bay of Islands, take a private helicopter to The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs (from $1,176 per couple including breakfast and dinner, KauriCliffs.com). If you’re looking for more of an adrenaline rush, how about bungee jumping at the place where it all started— Kawarau bridge in Queenstown? Post-jump, relax in style at the nearby Matakauri Lodge (from $920 per couple including breakfast and dinner, Matakauri.co.nz).

culinary treat
For gourmet lovers, your honeymoon is the perfect time to indulge in amazing food and drink. At Jumby Bay, A Rosewood Resort (from $1,050 including meals and beverages, RosewoodHotels.com/ jumbybay) in Antigua, you can go on a mixologist-led private tour of the distillery where award-winning English Harbour rum is produced. Here, you will learn how the rum production process began in the Caribbean and enjoy a sunset rum tasting. Then, see where the locals create the Caribbean’s most famous condiment, Susie’s Hot Sauce. Even better, you can taste it for yourself in various island dishes, such as Jumby Bay’s famous lobster ceviche.

five-star vacation
Get the best of both worlds at the Four Seasons Resort Lana’i at Manele Bay (from $479, FourSeasons.com/manelebay) in Hawaii, a place where both husband and wife can be happily pampered.

BEHIND THE SCENES
why is catering so expensive?
average catering cost (per person) in… New York City...............$173 Chicago.........................$105 Boston...........................$93 Los Angeles...................$80 Houston........................$54
We asked Alison Awerbuch, chef and partner of one of New York City’s largest catering companies, why off-site catering can cost up to $290 per guest or more.
128
K
Costs can tick up before you even add the food.
$168
For the most basic three-course meal with hors d’oeuvres during cocktails, expect to pay $75 to $80 per person. But if you prefer lobster or lamb, get ready to shell out 50 to 60 percent more. And add $30 to $40 per guest for a beverage package that includes a four- to five-hour open bar with top-shelf liquor, wine service and a champagne toast.
equipment rentals
click>> TKM13WIN Sect 08 (113-128) [P].indd 128
$63
Unlike a well-equipped banquet venue, everything for an offpremise event, from back-ofhouse kitchen supplies to china, flatware and chairs, needs to be rented at $40 to $60 per head. What’s more, serving style matters too—buffets and station menus can cost an extra 3 to 5 percent (or $3) for additional servingware and linens.
labor
$59
A good-quality caterer will provide one server per table of 10 guests, one bartender for 50 to 60 attendees, two floor captains, four chefs, a kitchen support staff and sanitation helpers who ensure the rentals arrive promptly and the kitchen stays clean. Generally speaking, labor cost is about 20 percent of the total cost.
upgrades
$$$$
The sky’s the limit when it comes to enhanced bar packages, upgraded menu items, custom-designed edible favors, special and unique tabletop options and out-ofthe-box shapes and sizes of tables. Keeping the party going can cost you too; there are surcharges for overtime staffers and extra services.

10 THINGS
10 things every bride should have Makeup genius Bobbi Brown spills her wedding-worthy tips.
1 confidence
You won’t feel good if you don’t look like yourself. Remember—your bridal makeup should enhance your features, but you should still look like you.
2 flawless skin
Flash photography emphasizes pink tones, so even out your skin with a yellow-based foundation and set it with powder.
3 serenity
Creamy Concealer, $24, BobbiBrown.com
Take deep breaths and you’ll feel centered and relaxed. If you feel like you’re going a mile a minute, take a break.
4 a pretty décolletage Dust bronzing powder on your neck and chest so they don’t look like a different color than your face.
5 a fresh flush 148
6 a day-of clutch Have one of your bridesmaids carry a touch-up kit with concealer, lipstick, blotting papers, tissues and mints.
7 highlights
Give your skin a lit-from-within glow by highlighting areas where the sun naturally falls (like your brow bone and chin).
8 waterproof lashes
Use a water-resistant eyeliner and mascara that can withstand your happy tears. Long-wear Gel Eyeliner,$23, BobbiBrown.com
9 a bright smile
Neutral and pale lip colors look washed out in photographs, so choose a vibrant lip color in pink, rose or plum.
10 fun
Smile and let loose. Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening Mascara, $25, BobbiBrown.com

Use two shades of blush. First, apply a neutral shade and then a brighter color on just the apples of your cheeks.

timeless elegance TKM13WIN Sect 10 (145-160) [P].indd 152
Throughout her planning, Lauren kept one question in mind: Will I like this in 50 years? As a result, her style choices were traditional and timeless. A longtime admirer of Monique Lhuillier, Lauren had her eye on the Catherine gown. She fell in love with the classic A-line skirt, intricate lace details and scalloped neckline. To make it her own, she shortened the sleeves to three-quarter length and added a crystal and chiffon sash. She wore her hair in an elegant low bun and topped it off with a cathedral-length veil. >>

Kelly knew her wedding wouldn’t conform to traditional styles. Rather than focus on a color palette, she used words such as whimsical and bohemian as her inspiration and style guidelines. Kelly achieved her vintage vision with DIY touches. With the help of designer Miss Tashina, she brought her dream lace-andchiffon wedding dress to life, complete with romantic cap sleeves and cream-colored accents. She created a one-of-a-kind headpiece using flea market finds such as a brooch and old chain necklaces. >>

romantic glamour TKM13WIN Sect 10 (145-160) [P].indd 156
Julia drew all of her design inspiration from her venue—a lavishly romantic rococo-style mansion. She admits that her Ysa Makino dress would have been over-the-top anywhere else, but it perfectly fit the theme of her turn-of-the-century setting. Because of the textural floral appliquÊs and heavy beadwork, she decided not to wear a necklace and completed the look with a set of sparkly earrings. She continued the floral motif from her dress with a single silk flower accenting her sideswept bun.

THE BIG QUESTION
Platinum, $3,690, white gold, $2,235, ScottKay .com. Prices do not include center stone.
HERE’S THE DEAL Platinum is a naturally white metal and is 90- to 95-percent pure, making it one of the most refined precious metals. PROS Because of its density, platinum is strong and durable (when it’s scratched, the metal is merely displaced and doesn’t actually wear away). Since platinum is naturally white, the color of your ring will not change over time. Plus, it’s hypoallergenic. CONS The price of platinum is higher than its equivalent in white gold and, because the metal is so dense, it can feel heavier on your hand.
158
K
platinum
vs.
white gold
HERE’S THE DEAL White gold is extremely malleable and resistant to rust, tarnish and corrosion. It’s produced by alloying pure gold with white metals, most commonly nickel, palladium and zinc. PROS Gold has a strong connection with marriage (dating all the way to 200 ad!). Because of its malleability, it’s easy to repair and great for personalized designs and engravings. CONS Since white gold isn’t naturally white, the color will fade. To maintain its original whiteness, your ring should be replated about once a year. But this isn’t absolutely necessary as the fading is usually light and most people may not even notice the change. —Special thanks to Platinum Guild International, World Gold Council and Michael C.

Make lighting a top priority—it can transform even the most mundane room into a stunning, romantic space.
6 Taking too many things on yourself can be overwhelming. It’s not easy getting everything right—that’s why you hire experts! We’ve never heard a bride complain about paying for professional help.

Gonzalez, AaB Creates, New York City 14 If you’re planning to get married outside of the United States, check if your marriage abroad will be legally recognized back home and verify the documentation necessary to make it legal.

31 A second shooter doubles your chances of getting fantastic shots, allows you to capture more moments (like the cocktail hour while the couple is taking photos) and creates less distraction during poignant moments like the ceremony (so one person isn’t running around trying to cover all the angles).

29 Though it’s good to have an idea of what you do and don’t want before you go shopping, keep an open mind. Oftentimes, a bride will fall in love with a style that is very different from what she initially thought she wanted. And bring the right undergarments—Spanx and a low-cut strapless bra—in order to see how different dresses will really look. Terry Hall,
32 At the very least, every wedding should have pinspotting to highlight biginvestment items, like your centerpieces, while adding warmth and drama to your room and depth to your photos. Dance floor lighting is another must. Soft candlelight with a touch of amber works in any venue and gives everyone a post-vacation glow. Above all, lighting should be on dimmers. Without them, a room can look too dark or too bright, which can make your party seem stark, plain and even cheap. Ira levy,

YATES, Birds of a Feather, Los Angeles 47 The key to a fun wedding is timing. But there’s no set formula—take into account your group’s size and your other events. The only rule: Limit your cocktail hour to no more than 60 minutes. MARCY BLUM, Marcy Blum
Associates, New York City 48 The shape of your wedding cake can have a big impact on the overall look. For example, square tiers can make almost any design look modern. MARK RANDAZZO, Mark Joseph

50 Your wedding is not the time to reinvent who you are. Pick a gown that fits your personal style—your groom should recognize you when you come down the aisle! Also, be aware of your venue and the overall formality of your wedding. MARK INGRAM,

44 When choosing a wedding dress, finding the right shape for your body is paramount. Consider which silhouettes tend to be the most flattering on you and what you do and don’t want to highlight. And always buy for the body you have now! AMSALE ABERRA,
45 Hire the right people—professionals familiar with the area, other local vendors and your venue. You’ll never regret spending money on a great planner. Also, get everything in writing and allow extra time for installation, deliveries and set-up. BRIAN WORLEY,
53 Design your reception menu with your wedding style and season in mind. No one wants a hot, heavy soup in August, but in the middle of winter, a warm dish will hit the spot.

Before you order anything, schedule a site check with the tent company to determine what size structure will fit the location and to discuss any leveling issues. Also, have an idea of what you plan to put inside. Everything from the number of bars and buffets, the size of the dance floor and stage, and the table shapes and sizes to the room layout can affect the size of the tent needed. jen Sperry, Sperry Tents, Wareham, MA
97 Often, guests are too busy dancing to eat
the wedding cake. Instead of throwing it out, hand out to-go containers so guests can take a slice with them as your favor. That way, as the old Southern saying goes, single girls can sleep with a slice of cake under their pillows to dream about the man they’ll marry. Tara Guérard, Soirée, Charleston, SC

99 It’s normal to feel nervous when having your photo taken. To help you both relax, ease into it. Start by having your photographer shoot the two of you holding hands and walking away from the camera. The more you interact with each other, the more natural you will feel and look.

how to have a winter wedding While winter is traditionally a slower season for nuptials, it can be one of the most magical times of the year to wed. By Kristin Koch
5 reasons winter is a winner Before you settle on spring or summer or jump on the fall wedding bandwagon, find out why there’s a lot to love about marrying during the “off-season.”
1 your wedding will be unique
The season alone will make your day stand out. Sure, fall has the leaves, spring has the blooms and summer has the weather, but what’s as magical as a snowy backdrop?
2 no need for a plan b
You may be limited to indoor venues, but you won’t have to worry about reserving a backup indoor option, spraying for bugs or bringing in heating or flooring.
3 guests won’t be wedding-d out
All that traveling, toasting and gifting can lead to wedding burnout. Waiting until the slow season means everyone will be even more excited about your day.
4 you’ll have your pick of vendors and venues
“During the winter, you won’t be competing for venues or vendors the way you might in spring or summer,” explains Christy Weber, cofounder of Junebug Weddings.
229
“Because vendors aren’t in their busy season, they will be more attentive compared with in June when they might be juggling eight weddings that month,” says Annie Lee, principal planner and founder of Daughter of Design in New York City. And since there isn’t as much competition, you may have more room for negotiating. >>

winter design dos and don’ts While the season will help shape your style and details, here’s how to make sure it still feels like a wedding—your wedding.
do play with texture “Winter weddings are all about comfort and texture—think cable knit, flannel, felt and sequins,” says Kristy Rice, founder of Momental Designs. “Jazz up neutral winter palettes with fur, wood and quartz.” Layering different materials like velvet and linen can give tables a more dynamic look. “For a unique feel, incorporate interesting textiles and finishes into your paper,” Rice adds. “Line the back of programs with flannel or fur.”
don’t get too theme-y “No snowflakes or candy canes—this is a wedding not a holiday party!” Lee says. Rather than the standard holiday motifs, look to nature when gathering inspiration for your day’s design. “Use bare birch branches to mimic the leafless trees outside,” Lee suggests. “Or conjure the twinkling effect of falling snowing by using white spray paint to create a fallen snow design on a canvas drop cloth that can then be used as a table overlay.” For a dramatic effect your guests won’t stop talking about, use the latest lighting technology to transport them to a scenic winter setting. “With projection and video mapping, you can create any backdrop with 3-D images,” Lee explains. “Your guests can be in the middle of the Alps with live snow falling and moose walking by.” Rather than pinecones or mistletoe, Rice suggests customizing your stationery with a hand-painted silhouette of a snowcapped mountain or even a floral motif. “Consider a wintry white poinsettia for a seasonal nod that won’t feel too holiday-esque,” Rice suggests. “Or an abstract floral design for more of a style statement than a seasonal one.”
do add a whiff of winter
don’t keep guests inside
231
Even if it’s snowing, an outdoor ceremony or fire pit (complete with s’mores) can be a memorable touch guests will love, Lee says. Set up portable heaters, serve hot chocolate and hand out warm robes, blankets, gloves and hats to keep guests warm.

Winter is full of distinct scents that instantly evoke a seasonal vibe. “Scent is the most underutilized sensory experience at events,” Lee says. “For a ski wedding, play up the mountain air with the smell of fresh pine, smoked wood and whiffs of hot cocoa.”
philip ficks; opposite, from top: jen fariello; rita mass
do welcome guests warmly Greet guests with a warm drink to set the tone for an intimate affair. Of course, nothing says winter like hot cocoa. For a more sophisticated take on the coldweather favorite, serve white hot chocolate in espresso cups. “During cocktail hour, serve bourbon chai or mulled wine in tiny sipper cups to take off the chill,” suggests celebrity caterer Peter Callahan of Peter Callahan Catering in New York City.
don’t skimp on the sparkle Love the romantic vibe of pastels? Lighter colors can feel perfectly at home during the wintertime. The trick is to pair more muted shades—rosy pink over pastel pink; frosty sage versus mint; and icy blue over baby blue—with a creamy base and luxe metallic accents to give softer hues a rich, wintry feel. Bring in subtle texture like velvet ribbon wrapped around linen napkins and letterpressed layered white-and-gold menus.

“Elegance and glamour are never out of style, and they’re particularly perfect for inspiring a winter wedding look,” Weber says. The season’s rich jewel tones and neutrals provide the perfect base for layering on glam touches, and unlike other times of year, sequin overlays, regal silver candelabras and ornate crystal vases won’t feel over-the-top.
do play with fire “Cozy up your space with a fireplace,” Lee says. “If your venue doesn’t have one, there are gas ones for rent that can be used inside. Or just get a mantle and add candles.” Set up a lounge area around the fire with furry rugs, plush chairs and throws, she adds. >>

the must-have ingredients Get inspired by the winter wonderland outside to create a one-of-a-kind celebration inside with fresh ideas for tapping into the season.
toasty (but not too toasty) guests Yes, it’s cold outside and a properly heated venue is a must, but keep in mind, with all the extra body heat, things can heat up quickly, especially on the dance floor. “You want to make sure the room will be warm enough—but not so warm that guests can’t get their dance on,” warns Lee. Make sure your venue has proper climate control and ventilation, and if there are separate thermostats for different areas, set the one for the dance floor area a few degrees lower.
a wintry palette Reds and greens certainly reflect the season, but they can make your wedding look more like a holiday party. Whites and creams accented with silvery metallics offer a more refined way to bring in the time of year. But don’t feel married to neutrals. “Rich jewel tones like emerald, ruby and sapphire are perfect for winter,” Weber says.

The great thing about winter cakes is you have far more flavor options, including all the decadent frostings and fillings that can feel too rich any other time of year. • Caramel spice cake with creamy caramel filling and buttercream frosting • Orange chocolate cake with dark chocolate filling and frosting with flecks of orange • White vanilla cake with cranberry buttercream frosting and filling • Trios of chocolate cheesecake, mini chocolate pots de crème and chocolate truffles • Gingerbread cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting • White chocolate truffle cake with raspberry filling and buttercream frosting

Seasonal sweets
“Work with, not against, the season for the best ingredients available and the best menu you can offer your guests,” says Callahan. For winter, let buzz words like “warm,” “hearty” and “cozy” guide your menu, with a mix of savory bites and hearty dishes infused with seasonal foods and flavors such as rosemary, almond, cranberry, pear and warm cheeses. Soup is another way to give guests a taste of winter, Lee says. Serve a soup course such as butternut squash or potato-leek with dinner, or pass tomato bisque shooters with mini grilled cheeses during cocktail hour.
K
hearty fare
a room with a view Just because it’s frigid, doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the winter scenery outdoors. “Select a venue with big windows and a great view, so guests can enjoy the snowy surroundings from the comfort of the indoors,” Lee suggests. >>

seasonal stems “Avoid a garden-y look, which will seem too spring or summery, and opt for flowers that are delicate and minimal,” Lee says. “I love baby’s breath and what’s great, other than it being around in winter and totally affordable, is that it has this white-speckled look that resembles falling snow. A big bunch of it together can make a great centerpiece or bouquet.” For a frosty effect, accent all-white arrangements of fuller flowers such as hydrangeas and soft ranunculus with touches of sage-green lamb’s ears and silvery dusty miller leaves. If you want your arrangements to bring in color, deep red and purple blooms like roses, calla lilies and amaryllis are decidedly wintry and elegant.
nonfloral décor

K
Since most colors and varieties won’t be in season, look beyond flowers to fill out your tables (without causing your budget to sprout up). “Using branches, greenery and berries in your arrangements brings in the feeling of the season in a simple, organic way,” Weber says. Dusty miller leaves, thistle, curly willow, eucalyptus, white snowberries, viburnum, hypericum and pepper berries are all available during winter and add dimension to simple arrangements. Lee also recommends using other types of décor such as vintage books, lanterns and candles. “If your flowers are coming in from Ecuador [as many do during the winter] and there’s a serious storm, they’re staying in Ecuador,” Lee warns. “The best way to prepare for this is to design your wedding with local blooms (if any are available) and as many nonfloral decorative items as possible.”
“Skip the snowflake and candy cane motifs— this is a wedding, not a holiday party!”
winter wedding wear You don’t have to sacrifice style just because it’s freezing outside. In fact, winter offers you more fashion choices than you’d think.
brides Sleeved gowns and illusion necklines are popular bridal trends that are perfect for winter weddings. If you’re set on a strapless or sleeveless dress, bundle up in a faux fur stole or a cashmere wrap. For a gown that stands out against the snow, choose a style with some sparkle. Crystals, pearls, sequins or even shimmery fabric can create a gorgeous glittery effect. And don’t be afraid to go big—a dramatic ball gown feels most appropriate during winter.
bridesmaids Long dresses are a natural fit for winter weddings, but shorter styles with tights can work too. Darker hues like navy, emerald, deep red and black will look great on almost every bridesmaid and have the most reuse potential, but rich, saturated colors (such as deep plum and chocolate) and muted metallics are equally elegant options. If you’re planning to take outdoor photos, coordinating your bridal party’s outerwear is just as important as coordinating their dresses. Give guidelines about color and style, or consider gifting your attendants colorful cardigans, faux fur stoles or coordinating capes.
grooms and groomsmen Tuxedos are a classic choice for winter, but for a less formal vibe, wool suits in black, navy or charcoal are a dapper option that look just as appropriate in a modern loft as a mountaintop venue. Coordinating the guys’ outerwear is also key. Formal black or gray coats are a smart option. For an added punch of color, gift the groomsmen scarves. >>
variation One of the downsides of hosting everything indoors? All your events can look the same, especially if you’re using the same space for your ceremony and reception. “Create a feeling of excitement by making each space distinct,” Weber says. “Vary the color palette by adding different accent colors in each area.” For the biggest impact, use lighting to change the mood as the day progresses. “Start with a warm amber glow for the ceremony,” Lee says. “When guests return for dinner, surprise them by transforming the room into a more lounge-y vibe with sultry red lighting.”
Having a designated place for everyone’s coats, boots and cozy layers is essential. Hire a coat-check attendant to take care of your guests as they enter and exit throughout the evening. The attendants can also hand out your favors when guests pick up their items at the end of the night.

seasonal setbacks and solutions While each season has its own obstacles, knowing what they are and how to manage them will help your day go off without a hitch.
the setback: snowstorms A blizzard can make it difficult (or impossible) for people and supplies to get to your wedding on time. “Snowstorms can cause airport closures, which is not only bad news for guests flying in but also for all packages and deliveries, like escort cards from the calligrapher or last-minute signage from Etsy,” Lee warns. The Solution “Order your supplies early so they arrive a few weeks (or more) before your wedding, and suggest traveling guests arrive a few days in advance,” Lee advises. Don’t forget to make sure your vendors have a bad-weather contingency plan too, Weber adds.
the setback: icy conditions
236
K
the setback: few free weekends Between Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day and long weekends, convenient wedding dates seem few and far between. “Winter brings with it a lot family commitments and holiday travel, so timing is one of the biggest obstacles for a winter wedding,” Rice says. The Solution If you plan to marry around the holidays or over a long weekend like President’s Day, send save-the-dates at least nine months in advance and book vendors as soon as possible.
the setback: early sunsets During winter, the sun can set long before you plan to say “I do.” The Solution Consider the available daylight when scheduling your pictures and ceremony. If you decide to have an early afternoon ceremony to take advantage of the sunlight, plan a longer cocktail hour with entertainment or host an after-party, so guests aren’t left wondering what to do after the reception.
the setback: limited floral selection Frigid temps put a freeze on flowers in many parts of the country, which means your first-pick petals (such as super-fragile peonies) may not be available. “Your options may be limited and you may have to pay more for flowers to be flown in from abroad,” Lee says. The Solution If the exact blooms you want are unavailable or outside your budget, talk to your florist about similar seasonal substitutes that will have the same impact. Use nonfloral elements like seasonal greenery, branches and berries to help fill out arrangements and offset pricier blooms.
TKM13WIN Sect 15 (225-240) [P].indd 236
“If the blooms you want aren’t available, ask for similar substitutes with the same impact.” the setback: indoor lighting “Natural light can be hard to come by in indoor venues without lots of windows, and the absence of it can make it difficult for your photographer to get the shots you’re envisioning,” Weber says. The Solution “Work with a lighting designer to ensure your cake, dance floor, bridal party table and other heavily photographed areas are artfully lit for photos,” Weber recommends. If the weather cooperates, stage some preceremony photos outside. Just give yourself at least 15 minutes to warm up before heading down the aisle, so you don’t have cold hands or a red, runny nose for your vows.
the setback: lost invitations With all the mail being sent around the holidays, invitations can easily get lost in a pile of seasonal greetings cards, Lee warns. The Solution Better early than late should be your motto. “To be safe, send your invitations before the holiday rush,” Lee advises.

Freezing temperatures can cause icy streets and walkways, which can be hazardous for your timeline—and for your well-heeled guests. The Solution To prevent day-of travel delays, host your ceremony and reception at the same place. Hire valet parking so guests don’t have to walk far from their cars to the entrance, and make sure the venue will have someone to shovel, salt and clear parking lots and any walkways your guests will be using, Weber says. Make sure a trip to the ER doesn’t prevent you or one of your bridesmaids from walking down the aisle by waiting until you’re indoors to put on your heels.

Shortly before he shipped out, the couple found Antrim 1844—the perfect spot for the chic French-country-inspired wedding they envisioned. They took décor inspiration from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette and completed the look with summery pastels such as mint, seafoam and salmon. —MO

There’s a reason why this company got its name—“the curling iron gets super-hot super-fast, which means quicker styling time for you, all while protecting your hair,” says James. Nano-Ceramic curling iron 1", $50, HotTools.com
SHAMPOO CONDITIONER
Made with coconut and sweet almond oils, this conditioner not only adds shine and bounce to your hair, it also moisturizes your scalp. Damage & Color Repair nourishing daily conditioner, $6, Clear, Ulta.com
“The shampoo has babassu oil and Brazil nut oil, which is über nourishing. My favorite thing about this shampoo is that since it’s so gentle, it can be used on a daily basis. Plus, the scent is absolutely intoxicating,” Coffey says. Moisture Rich shampoo, $19, NevoCare.com

FACIAL MASK
This mask is a miracle worker. It unplugs all the dirt in your pores—yes that’s right, even your stubborn blackheads. It also shrinks your pores, so less impurities can build up in them. “The zinc oxide soothes the skin and the sulfur heals it,” says celebrity dermatologist Debra Jaliman, MD. Clarifying mask, $37, Murad.com
NIGHT CREAM
Luxury in a jar—this is an intense moisturizer. “This night cream is rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and E, retinol, hyaluronic acid and omega-3s—everything you need for a fresh, youthful face,” says Marina Peredo, MD. You can use it on your face, neck and chest. Dermal Repair cream, $120, SkinMedica.com
ANTI-ACNE
“I’m a big fan of multitaskers and this product covers breakouts while fighting them at the same time. The CC in this formula stands for clear and camouflage,” says New York City medical and cosmetic dermatologist Francesca Fusco, MD. Anti-Acne CC cream, $60, Hydroxatone.com
EXFOLIATOR

This is my go-to face polish. The sugar grains melt into your skin when you gently scrub, turning this exfoliator into a vitamin-C-rich mask. Because it’s made of brown sugar and strawberry seeds, it smells good enough to eat! Sugar Face Polish, $55, Fresh.com

BODY WASH
FACIAL CLEANSER
While it works for all skin types (it’s über gentle), “this face cleanser is ideal for oily skin. It contains willowherb, which is an antiinflammatory agent that can calm down finicky and easily irritated skin,” Jaliman says. It also doubles as a makeup remover. Purifying cleansing gel, Boscia, $26, Sephora.com
This gentle body wash is as pure as it gets, as it “softens skin, is not irritating and has no scent,” Frank says. Sensitive Skin body wash with NutriumMoisture, $5, Dove.us
SELF-TANNER
While most self-tanners are like lotions, this one has a gel base so it spreads more evenly (read: natural looking). “It doesn’t streak or get blotchy and can last up to a week,” says Paul Jarrod Frank, MD. Self Tanning Instant Gel, $35, ClarinsUSA.com
DAY CREAM
“This easy-to-pump bottle contains alphahydroxy, vitamin E, vitamin C and SPF— all key ingredients for healthy skin,” says dermatologist to celebs (like Kate Hudson) Gary Goldfaden, MD. Healthy Skin face lotion with SPF 15, $11, Neutrogena.com >>

NUDE POLISH
This isn’t a typical nail sticker. These appliqués are made of real nail polish, which means that they stay on much longer and don’t create unwanted air bubbles. French manicure in First Love, $10, Incoco.com

“While the consistency might be rich, this lotion applies very easily and has a smooth-like-silk feel. The best part though is that it lasts for a long time,” says Jin Soon Choi, a celebrity (like Michelle Williams) and fashion favorite manicurist. Extended Moisture hand cream, Nivea, $5, Drugstore.com

wedding gowns 101 We know your first priority—finding the (other) one—your dress.
gown silhouette styles trumpet gown
mermaid gown
The skirt in this gown style extends from the bustline. It’s a great choice for pear-shaped brides because it disguises the hips.
The skirt in this style flares out just below the hips, creating a semi-full skirt (shaped like the bell of a trumpet) without extra volume and bulk.
This gown is a bit more fitted and flares out at the knee (or lower). It’s a great silhouette for showing off curves.
a-line gown
ball gown
sheath
This universally flattering style hugs the torso and has a flared skirt in, you guessed it, an A-shape.
The ball gown has a fitted bodice and a dramatic full skirt. Busty brides will love this shape because it creates balanced proportions.
This slim, form-fitting silhouette hugs the body from head-to-toe. It’s the perfect look for casual, intimate weddings.

wedding party 101 The least you need to know to coordinate your wedding party’s look.
bridesmaids • For a modern, but still put-together look—pick the color and fabric, but consider letting your bridesmaids choose the neckline and silhouette. • When shopping, bring one or two bridesmaids—maybe the maid who has the body or coloring that’s most similar to the rest of the bridal party, or the maid who is the most difficult to fit. • Ask for your maids’ advice, but make the final decision yourself. You’re the one who knows the big picture—overall look, formality and people’s budgets—best. • The bridesmaids should try to place their orders at the same time to ensure that the dresses will be made from the same dye lot. • Allow three months’ delivery and alteration time for the dresses. • Don’t forget the extras. Should the maids all have the same shoes, jewelry, hairstyles, handbags or wraps? Communicate your desires clearly to your maids. Email works great for this.
sweetheart neckline
scoop neckline
one-shoulder neckline
groom & groomsmen • Brush up on your tuxedo terms and take a peek in your own closet before you begin suit shopping. This will give you an idea of what style you like best—notched or shawl lapel, standard or spread collar.

• The groomsmen should dress around the groom. A consistent look is great, but the groom should sport some detail (a boutonniere, tie or pocket square) that differentiates him from the pack. shawl lapel
notched lapel
• The tuxedo is classic, but consider all your options. Marrying by the beach? Try a more casual jacket and trousers. Having an ultra-formal wedding? Pick a cutaway coat, gray-striped trousers, gray vest and ascot. peaked lapel
flower girls & ring bearers • Flower girls and ring bearers don’t have to match the adults perfectly, but they should certainly fit in with the formality of the event. The only exception: Tuxedos aren’t necessary (and may not be available) for tykes under six. Our trick—substitute a black suit and a bow tie. • Be sure to dress your flower girl or ring bearer appropriately for their age. Strapless or halter dresses may be too sophisticated for the little ones (even with a cardigan), while overly froufrou tulle dresses might not look right on, say, a 10-year-old.
TKM13WIN Sect 27 (417-432) [P].indd 432
• Should you rent or buy? If you don’t attend many formal events or if your weight is frequently in flux, renting may be the way to go. If you’ll have three or four more good uses for a tux, the suit will pay for itself.
