Boston Wedding News – The Royal Wedding

February 19, 2011 By bostonweddings Leave a Comment
kate middleton - ROYAL WEDDING

Along with the identity of the wedding dress designer, the actual design of Kate Middleton’s dress is the most closely guarded secret of the wedding. Based on my knowledge of previous royal weddings, and from what I’ve heard so far, here’s what I predict Catherine (as she prefers to be called) will be wearing on the big day.

The Dress

First off, Catherine’s gown will not look anything like Diana’s, and I anticipate that it will be white rather than a cream or ivory hue. While the strapless look is popular with many celebrity brides, this is a royal bride, and that transcends mere celebrity. This means no strapless styles, no spaghetti straps, and no to anything that exposes the shoulders. If you look at previous royal bridal dresses, every one of them features sleeves. The last major royal wedding was that of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden in June 2010 — a wedding I covered from Stockholm, and she was the first royal bride to have a gown with an off-the-shoulder wrap neckline with short sleeves.

Catherine has a fabulous figure and looks sensational in the stream-lined silhouettes she favors, however we definitely won’t be seeing a slinky sheath dress like the one Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy wore to her wedding. On the other hand, I don’t think Catherine’s dress will feature a big, ball-gown skirt either, although it will have some fullness to it to complement the grand scale of Westminster Abbey. So something with an A-line or a Princess-style skirt (how appropriate) with a fitted waist will be most likely.

There will be a train but nowhere near the length of Diana’s 25 ft. train as I’m told that Catherine is not into very long trains – it’s simply not her taste. The bridal bouquet will contain a sprig of myrtle to symbolize lasting love and fertility – a royal wedding tradition started by Queen Victoria.

Victoria also set the trend for white wedding dresses when she wore one to her wedding in 1840. Previously, black and red were popular bridal gown colors, and royal brides traditionally wed in silver. I wouldn’t be surprised if Catherine’s gown incorporates striking details such as silver embroidery. Rania al Yassan (now Queen Rania of Jordan) wore a gold embroidered dress to her 1993 wedding.

The Tiara

Royal insiders told me that shortly after the engagement announcement on November 16, Catherine was invited to Buckingham Palace where the Queen had instructed that every tiara, along with other dazzling jewels from the royal vaults, be laid out for inspection in a ballroom. This was when Catherine chose the tiara she will wear on her wedding day. The British royals have a substantial collection of priceless heirloom jewels and tiaras, and the general public has only seen a mere fraction of what is in those vaults. There are many pieces of historic provenance that haven’t been seen or worn by members of the royal family in decades.

I suspect that Catherine will wear a tiara of relatively modest size, and one that has not been seen for quite some time. I don’t think she will be wearing too much other jewelry at the wedding as she tends to favor a less is more aesthetic- perhaps just a pair of earrings or a necklace.

It should be noted that the tiara Catherine wears to the ceremony is not necessarily the same tiara she will receive as a wedding present. There has been some speculation that Catherine might be given the beautiful diamond and pearl drop tiara that Diana had worn to stunning effect. This tiara, known as the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara, was made for Queen Mary (the Queen’s grandmother) in 1913 by the royal jewelers Garrard. The Queen gave it to Diana as a wedding gift and after the princess’s death, it returned to the royal family. If the Queen bestows William a dukedom, it’s most likely to be the Duke of Cambridge title. So it will be a wonderful tie-in for Catherine to be given the Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara as she will then be the Duchess of Cambridge. Nice scenario – but it won’t happen. First of all, the tiara is too closely associated with Diana, and the young couple have already said that Catherine will be forging her own path and identity. Secondly, Diana often complained that the Lover’s Knot was heavy and wearing it gave her a headache. So that rules it out.

The Veil

To veil or not to veil? Royal brides customarily wear a veil on their wedding day but the question is whether Catherine will wear one over her face as she proceeds up the aisle. If Catherine was a princess of royal blood, I can tell you emphatically that she will not have a veil covering her face. None of the royal-born princesses such as Princess Anne, Princess Margaret or the Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) when she married, had worn a veil over their faces. However, since Catherine is not royal-born, she will have a choice, and I think she’ll choose to have a veil over her face like Diana and Sarah Ferguson before her. It lends an air of mystery, and goes so well with the romantic image that she loves.

The Hair

As for how Catherine will be wearing her hair, all brides at royal weddings have their hair pulled off their faces, so there won’t be a repeat of Catherine’s hair falling over her eyes like we saw during the engagement announcement and interview. However, I don’t think we will be seeing her thick hair pulled back in a tight knot. Catherine knows what suits her, and it isn’t anything too severe looking. So on the wedding day, her hair will be pulled back from her face, but done loosely with a soft effect.

The Shoes

The latest news from my royal contacts is that Catherine has commissioned four pairs of shoes for the wedding day – each pair with a different heel height. Considering that she will be spending much of the day on her feet – at the ceremony, during the reception, the balcony appearance, the official photo shoot, not to mention dancing at the evening party afterwards, this sounds like a very smart move.

Boston Wedding Trends – “Scrapbooking” It’s a Work of Art

Scrapbooking 101: Capturing Your Memories With Flair

You may think of scrapbooking as an archaic process befitting those from your grandparents’ generation, however, it is more of an art form that is an expression of your personality, whether it be eccentric or traditional. Megan Thome, a scrapbook expert at K&Company, a craft company based in Parkville, MO, refers to scrapbooking as “a trendy new verb [which has] the unique capacity to be a tangible personal expression of something meaningful to the individual.”According to our experts, a wedding is the perfect time to start a scrapbook. “[It] is a milestone, and milestones are ripe with opportunities to scrapbook,” says Thome. “There is usually a beginning (the proposal), a middle (the engagement) and the grand finale (the wedding) which are three components to any great story.” Courtney Cochrane, a scrapbook buyer at Michaels’ headquarters in Irving, Tex., says that with a scrapbook you can capture the particular moments that made the day special. “So much time and effort has gone into planning a day that reflects your personality and your love for your spouse, you don’t want to forget any if it.”

Now that you have decided to start your scrapbook, read these tips to make the process easier and to ensure a truly original work of art!

  • Journaling is just as important as the pictures Cochrane says: “It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words—but in 10 years from now you may forget how you were feeling and what you were thinking. Journaling is the best way to relive an event with feelings and thoughts.”
  • Let your wedding scrapbook tell your personal story. Julie McGuffee, host of Scrapbook Memories, a television program on PBS, says it is perfectly fine to use the computer for funky graphics and fonts, but to ensure there’s something handwritten in your scrapbook. “It is possible to have a font created from your own writing, but nothing beats the real thing.”
  • Make as many scrapbooks as you like. Melissa Ierlan, a photo scrapbook expert at Eastman Kodak’s corporate office in Rochester, N.Y., suggests having two scrapbooks, one for the professional poses and one filled with other photos such as from your engagement, bridal shower/bachelorette party, reception and honeymoon. “The engagement, bridal shower and other wedding-related events are just as much a part of your wedding day as the big day itself!” says Madsen. “So don’t be afraid to include everything in one all-inclusive album.”
  • Use supplies that are archive-friendly. Marianne Madsen, managing editor of Creating Keepsakes, a scrapbook magazine based in Salt Lake City, Utah, says acid-free adhesives, pens and papers will extend the life of your photos and memorabilia.
  • Size matters when selecting a scrapbook. Ierlan suggests basing this decision on the number of photos. A scrapbook usually has at least 20 pages (10 pages, back and front). The traditional 12×12″ two-page layout has room for four to 10 (4X6″) photos depending on how the photos are cropped. Smaller sizes include 8.5×11″, 8×8″ and 6×6″ scrapbooks.
  • Choosing a motif for your scrapbook is not as difficult as you think. Thome suggests getting inspiration from your wedding theme. Whether you are having (or had) a funky, traditional, romantic or trendy wedding, Thome says there are an abundance of coordinating accessories to choose from.
  • The color wheel is your friend. Cochrane says use a color wheel (found at any craft or paint store) to choose complementary colors. “[It] provides foolproof direction on colors that complement or contrast with each other.”
  • Creative cropped pages are the key to a finished look. Ierlan suggests to crop people from the background, cut pictures into shapes or use scrap pieces of photos as a border or other decoration on pages.
  • Perfect photos. Thome suggests using the pictures from your professional photographer in your scrapbook, but to first scan copies and print them so you don’t ruin the original. Ierlan recommends using an editing device such as Kodak EasyShare software for correcting red eye and contrast. Also, Adobe Photoshop provides many more editing tools to create perfect pictures.
  • Don’t forget the groom. Thome advises that although you are the one creating the book, you should also include the groom’s thoughts and views. “If he isn’t the type to directly contribute to the scrapbook, remember things that he said at certain points and use old notes or e-mails that refer to wedding plans or feelings.”
  • Include as much memorabilia as you like. “The goal is to acquire the mementos as they are happening; you can decide what you’ll use and what you’ll toss later,” says Thome. If it is too bulky, photocopy or photograph it. Things to include: invitations, napkins, a flower from your bouquet, local newspaper announcement (spray it with a deacidification spray or scan the article itself) and news from that day. The list goes on: a champagne cork, garter, cards you received, sheet music from the ceremony and reception, menu, ribbon and charms used on the bouquet, your place cards, scraps from gift wrap, fabric swatches, plane tickets from the honeymoon. You can use these items as either the background or the focal point. “A page could include a faded image of a cake as the background, or scan greeting cards from guests and shrink them for use as decoration on pages,” says Ierlan. Other things to include are cute stories told by the guests and groom, funny things that happened on the wedding day or the days leading up to the wedding.

Trend watch

  • McGuffee says digital scrapbooking is on the rise since digital cameras are more affordable with easy-to-use software. You can design your pages on the computer and then print them out yourself.
  • According to Thome, wedding scrapbooks are becoming more elegant and timeless in their design. Also, “we’re seeing loads of layering and dimension along with coordinating textures, [which] can be incredibly inventive.”
  • Madsen says mini albums are very popular for documenting the engagement, bridal show and other wedding-related events.

Tools of the trade

  • Photos and memorabilia
  • A post-bound album/book (12×12″ is the most popular, and look for ones that can accommodate extra pages/protectors)
  • A 12″ fixed blade paper trimmer to crop papers and photos (McGuffee uses Fiskars’ 12″ Euro Trimmer)
  • Fine point, straight edge scissors
  • Straight edge
  • Acid-free paper/card stock; solid colors or patterned papers
  • Acid-free adhesive, such as Tombow, and glue dots, adhesive tabs, tap runner, etc.
  • Acid-free black marker
  • Acid-free journaling pen with archival ink
  • Different color pens including metallic, glitter and pastel pens
  • Corner rounder for pictures
  • Embellishments (decorative stickers, glitter paper, embossed vellum, pearl brads, engraved metal photo corners and charms, punches, flowers, buttons)
  • Other items are decorative scissors, paper punches, page refills, stamps and inks, die-cutting systems, computer and printer for creating titles, captions and writing stories
  • Scrapbook magazine, Web site, or TV show for inspiration
  • A space to work

Specialized tools

  • Trimming/cutting systems, which encompass shapes, punches and corner-rounders
  • Photo software, such as Photoshop Elements
  • Photo printer
  • Die-cutting systems and accessories, such as from Sizzix

Getting started: sources of inspiration

Magazines

  • Creating Keepsakes
  • Scrapbooks, Etc.
  • Paperkuts
  • Simple Scrapbooks

Web sites

  • creatingkeepsakes.com (also a magazine; runs Creating Keepsakes University)
  • twopeasinabucket.com (an online scrapbook community that offers message boards for scrapbook enthusiasts to offer each other tricks of the trade
  • scraptalk.com
  • michaels.com
  • kandcompany.com

Television

  • Scrapbooking (on DIY)
  • Scrapbook Memories (on PBS)

Craft stores (teach the techniques of scrapbooking)

  • Michaels
  • Creative Memories (hosts events for scrapbookers of all levels to learn the basic and more advanced tricks of the trade)

Specialized services

If you don’t have the time to make a scrapbook, Thome recommends consulting your local scrapbook retailers since they offer classes and know craft teachers who may be willing to take your project. But keep three things in mind: “It will cost you more than you think, ask to see their previous work, and give the crafter as much info and memorabilia as you can.” McGuffee suggests you add journaling. “This way it will be your story and much more personal.” Ierlan says this is a fairly new service but check the phone books under photographers, wedding coordinators, bridal shows and photographic publications. She also suggests contacting storybookjournal.com, which provides higher-end photo scrapbooks.

Boston Wedding Photography Tips – What to Expect

September 19, 2010 By bostonweddings Leave a Comment

What to Expect From Your Photographer

What to know before you meet your photographer.

Photo: Isabel Lawrence Photographers

When the time comes to hire your wedding photographer, there are several things you should take into consideration before making a final choice. In this article, I have highlighted some key points to consider when searching for a professional wedding photographer.

First, make sure that you start the selection process early, as most good photographers book up at least six months to one year in advance. Visit a minimum of three photographers — this will help you make comparisons and choose the right person for you. Ask for referrals from friends or co-workers who have been through the selection process already, and ask the event staff where you will be getting married — chances are they will have a few referrals to give you.

Demand Professionalism: Make sure the appointments you set are with reputable professionals. Take note right from the beginning about how you are treated on the phone and how soon you get a call back if you leave a message. The little things make a big difference. Never forget, this is a service business. Also, make sure that wedding photography is at least 50% of the photographer’s business.

Portfolio: Ask to see the photographer’s work. Make sure that the person whose work you are viewing will be the one actually photographing your wedding. Ask to see work from an entire wedding, preferably an album or a set of proofs from a recent wedding they have photographed. Look for examples of styles that you would like to see in your wedding images, such as photojournalism, black and white, family groups and possibly, special effects. And remember, you must not only like your photographer’s work, you must also like your photographer.

Ask About Prices And Services: Find out what type of services are offered, such as how many hours of the photographer’s time are included in the price and what his/her overtime rate is. Ask how many images you will get back, and if the price will include black and white film as well as color. Does the package price include an engagement sitting and, if not, how much does a sitting cost? The most important thing to know up front is what the package price does and does not include. Also be sure to ask how much reprints, extra albums, wall portraits, frames, etc. will cost. TIP: Often you can negotiate a better deal up front for extras than if you wait until after the wedding.

Don’t be pressured to commit to a package on the spot. You are not buying a used car; you are investing in images that will appreciate in sentimental value over time. Make sure you make the right investment.

Schedule An Engagement Session: The engagement session is a casual portrait session done with your photographer months before the wedding. I recommend it to everyone getting married. It’s a great way to get to know your photographer and for he/she to get to know you. Also, you get to see yourselves on film before the wedding, and if you are happy with your engagement images, you will feel more at ease in front of the camera on your wedding day.

Ask About Backup Equipment: No matter what type of equipment your photographer chooses to use — 35 mm or medium format – he/she should have backup equipment available on your wedding day. Cameras do break — it’s happened to me, but I keep extra equipment on hand for such times.

The Contract: Make sure that once you agree on price and pertinent details, you put them in writing. A contract is there to protect you and your photographer. Items you should outline in the contract include the name of the person you chose to photograph your wedding, the date and exact times of the day’s events, the total price and what that price includes, and any other information you deem necessary. If your photographer doesn’t have a standard contract, insist on one or look elsewhere.

Your Photographer’s Wedding Attire: Make sure to discuss what you expect your photographer to wear. Understanding the appropriate dress code helps your photographer to blend in with the crowd and appear less obtrusive.

The Wedding Day: On the day of the wedding, you should expect your photographer to be punctual and well organized. He or she should be appropriately dressed to attend your particular wedding and should maintain a pleasant attitude throughout the day. TIP: You might ask the photographer you are thinking of hiring for three to five recent clients to contact for references. If a photographer is confident in his or her work, there should be no problem granting this request.

Turn Around Time For Proofs: You should expect to get your wedding proofs or images back within two to four weeks after your wedding. I tell my clients two weeks, which gives me enough time to edit and sequence the proofs so they are displayed in the order of the day’s events.

With the Internet adding convenience to every aspect of our lives, wedding photography hasn’t been left out — there are quite a few companies that work with professional photographers to post your wedding images on a secure web page. You and your family and friends may view proofs and place orders online, making it possible for your friends and relatives all over the world to see your wedding images. If this is a service you are interested in, ask your photographer if he or she has a company that they work with to provide online proofs.

Your Albums And Prints: The length of time it takes to process your complete order will vary from photographer to photographer. I tell my clients to expect the pictures in 10 to 12 weeks. There are many factors which can affect the length of time you may need to wait for your finished order, including the size of your order, the number of albums in your order, the extent of retouching required, and any desired framing. If you choose to get references for your photographer, you might want to ask the other clients how long it took to get their completed orders and albums.

Finally, once your wedding day has past and your relationship with your photographer appears to be over, be sure to tell your friends and family if you were happy with his or her services. Photographers work off referrals and they are always greatly appreciated. Also remember that most wedding photographers do other types of photography as well, so keep us in mind for your family portraits in the future. It’s always nice to get repeat business, and to see familiar faces and watch families grow.

Boston Wedding Photographs – Makeup Tips

September 10, 2010 By bostonweddings Leave a Comment

Boston Wedding Photographers – 7 Hot Hair & Makeup Tips for Timeless Wedding Photographs

Hair and makeup are critical to excellent photographs, but one of the most troublesome parts of the day.

Here are my suggestions based on my experience.

Courtesy of: Jim’s Photo Blog

1) Always, always have a run through of hair and makeup prior to the wedding day. You do not want any surprises.

2) Be very, very clear with your hair and makeup person what time you must be finished (discuss this with your photographer). In my experience, more people run late from hair and makeup than from all other reasons combined. Remember, running late from hair and makeup means loosing photographic and other opportunities. It means you have less time to be with your friends, less time to dance, less time to celebrate. Beautiful hair and makeup are means to an end not ends in themselves.

2A) Discuss finish time with your hair and makeup people in advance and get a commitment from them to meet it.

2B) Remind them when they begin what time they agreed to.

2C) Do not hesitate to remind them again as they go along. I had a bride once who was 45 minutes late. I asked her what happened. She said that the hair lady kept talking and every time she talked she stopped working. Enough said.

3) The bride should not be the last person to be done. We can start photography without some of the bridesmaids or mom, but we cannot start without the bride.

4) No gloss, no frost, no shine. You do not want to use gloss lipstick or any other shiny products on your face on the wedding day. Gloss or any kind of shiny makeup will reflect the flash of the photographer’s light and look like tiny mirrors on your lips. Stick with matte.

5) If you are planning any black and white photographs on your wedding day tell your professional makeup person and do not wear lipstick that is too dark. You do not want to look like Elvira in a wedding gown.

6) If you have your makeup professionally done you may feel they have put it on a little thick or heavy. They probably haven’t. Photography diminishes the look of makeup and you will look less made up in the pictures than when you look at yourself in the mirror.

7) Take the long view when you plan your appearance on your wedding day. Imagine what you will think when you look at the pictures twenty years from now. A look that’s very trendy today runs some risk of looking silly in the future. Natural and real never goes out of style!

Hire Professionals – Wedding Day Horror Stories

September 10, 2010 By bostonweddings Leave a Comment

Wedding-Catering Train Wrecks

It’s your Most Important Day Ever. So why is the caterer stealing your liquor with your cake in his mouth?

Courtesy of: Francis Lam

For a few wonderfully anthropological years, I made my money as a cater-waiter in a stately old building in town surrounded by faceless suburbs and cornfields, which is to say that I have ended up working more weddings than Liz Taylor. I’ve heard the theme from “Titanic” more times than James “King of the World” Cameron, I’ve seen people straight-up own the Electric Slide, I’ve seen a hen house’s worth of Chicken Dances.

To a cater-waiter, these things are as inevitable as death and people complaining about taxes. There’s a certain strange jadedness you develop, though, when someone’s Most Important Day Ever is, for you, just another day in which you punched in for work. You stop noticing, for example, what the bride is wearing or how proud the happy couple is. You start to hope, for example, that the guests get wasted, because a bigger liquor tab means bigger tips, and, really, because that’s when the fun starts.

This was also a period of my life where I ate most of my meals at work, and that eventually led to an inappropriate familiarity with the food behind closed doors. More than once I have served wedding cake to a happy bride and groom while noticing their cake crumbs still stuck to my mouth

I’m telling you all this because despite my rather loose-cannon social skills, I was actually a good cater-waiter, charming and efficient and sometimes even wearing a clean tuxedo shirt I bought at the mall prom-rental headquarters. And so I read with interest Rachel Holmes’ post the other day on wedding catering nightmares at the Guardian’s food blog.

Some of these were, in fact, nightmarish: “23 May 1891, a British Medical Journal article tells of ‘Wholesale poisoning at a wedding feast’. 60 guests sat down to enjoy a banquet of gluttonous delights. Only 20 of them got up again. The rest were rolling around on the floor, clutching their bellies and having seizures.”

Happily, most of her stories — and the ones in the comments — were of a less fatal wedding nightmare variety: light-saber decorations for wedding cakes melting into “flaccid worms by serving time” and grooms cooking for their own weddings with broken ankles, hopped up on morphine and lots of drink (“Happiest day of my life!”). Or my favorite one, from a woman who rented a cotton candy machine, which turned out — surprise! — to be a liability around drunken men:

“[It] resulted in [my] brother-in-law trying to candyfloss his head a la Marge Simpson. Which WAS an inspired idea but sadly one that was doomed to failure — you end up with a head covered only in itchy pink sugar crystals and a broken machine that sends all future candyfloss attempts flying up the walls and ruining the caterers’ beautiful black velvet curtains.”

There comes a time in every wedding caterer’s life, though, when nearly any near disaster can be put into perspective with the phrase, “Hey, at least there was no violence.” Because a possessed cotton candy machine is really nothing compared to wedding violence.

Like, for example, the time my manager Lisa decided, a half-hour before the reception was supposed to end, to shut down one of the two bars because people were getting, well, sloshed. The groom must have sensed a disruption in the Liquor-Force, because he marched up to her and, straight-up Darth Vader-style, grabbed her by the face and said, “Little girl, you are going to leave the bar open.” I stood by, small and afraid, and now, in retrospect, see I should have been wishing for one of those light-saber cake decorations. Lisa stayed firm and composed, and the groom realized that having the second bar for another 30 minutes probably wasn’t worth a night in the poky, but then his darling bride ran up from the dance floor. When she saw what was happening, her eyes grew wide and enraged. She began screaming. “You bitch! You bitch! I’m going to remember you for the rest of my life! You’re going to be the bitch that ruined my wedding!”

Her new husband held her, pulling her away, trying to calm her down, and I wondered who, exactly, was ruining what here. I watched the wedding videographer get this all on tape. We resuming packing up the vodka, when suddenly Princess Drunk-Leia broke free from the groom and charged back at us, windmill punching and looking for blood. The groom took three lightning steps and tackled her, holding down her arms lest she actually whack us and let an army of lawyers ruin their honeymoon, too.

I walked into that reception hall every Saturday hoping to feel the pride of a job well done, and the bride and groom walked in thinking this will be the day they ride a unicorn into the sunset if only the fairies don’t pick them up and carry them off first.

The fact is that there is an unbridgeable gap of emotional investment when you have this yawning disconnect between a lifelong fantasy and the human, mundane reality of caterers just doing their jobs and having to follow boring old rules like not letting people drive home half-passed-out from Long Island iced teas. What’s really interesting about weddings aren’t the vows and the joining of clans — it’s the fact that you have people living on totally different planets while being in exactly the same room, and those planets freak out when they’re reminded of one another.

Moral of the Story?

Hire professionals with impeccable references!
