10 Tips for Attending a Bridal Show
• Wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. You’ll be glad you did.
• Be prepared to register at the door. Be patient! This is well worth it.
• Bring preprinted self-adhesive address labels if you have them. Remember your
name, address, phone, email, and wedding date. This will save you time and allow
you to sign up for anything you want very quickly.
• Bring a pen and print very clearly when registering for anything.
• Bring your checkbook in case you decide to book services or hold dates with a
deposit. Be sure to check on refund policies before giving any money, and read the
contract carefully before signing.
• Collect any information you are interested in – take it home to look over again when
you have some quiet time.
• If you cannot attend, send someone in your place to register you for prizes and collect information on services you need.
• It is nice if your fiancé attends with you IF he is interested. Many guys attend, so
he won’t be the only one there!

$200. When the dress arrives, it often looks
nothing like the sample, with beads and crystals literally glued to the dress. We’ve had
girls come to us after losing a couple hundred
dollars on a poorly made replica.”
Once a bride has chosen the perfect gown, it
is on to the seamstress to perform any necessary alterations. Most seamstresses will walk
the bride through what they feel should be
altered during the first fitting, and do several
consultations before the wedding to ensure
the perfect fit on the big day.
Kim Miller of The Wedding Bell
shares her inside secrets to
finding that perfect dress
The daunting task of finding that perfect
wedding dress can be overwhelming for
many, but with a few tips from The Wedding
Bell owner Kim Miller it can be a fun, stressfree experience.
The most important tip to remember for
many brides is to keep an open mind when
shopping around. Although many women
have a specific style in mind, being willing to try on a variety of styles can often
uncover the perfect dress. “Our consultants
are trained to pull dresses that are as close to
what the bride wants as possible, while also
presenting a couple others that are based on
body type, style and the bride’s personality,”
Miller said. “The most important thing to
remember is to just be open to trying on a
variety of dresses.”
The Wedding Bell offers 90-minute fittings,
and allows brides to make additional appointments as necessary. However, be cautioned:
endless shopping can often be counterproductive and overwhelming to many brides.
“If 90 minutes is not enough time, brides can
always make another appointment, but if too
much time is spent trying on dresses many
people only get confused because they’ve
just seen too much. Most of the time you can
make quite a bit of progress in 90 minutes.”
Although dress costs can vary tremendously
depending on which type of fabric is used,
brides planning less formal weddings can
always ask for bridesmaid dresses in white
or ivory, which can save money without sacrificing style or quality. However, one of the
biggest warning signs a bride should look out
for: if the price sounds too good to be true, it
probably is. One of the most unfortunate and
widespread scams in the wedding industry
today stems from low-cost overseas websites
offering designer replicas for low prices.
“It is so important today to make sure you’re
working with an authorized representative
for the line,” Miller says. “There are many
websites out there that steal photos from
designers and sell $1,200 gowns for only

After the vows have been said and the
bouquet has been thrown, preserving the
gown properly is the next task. Miller warns
against hanging a dress in a garment bag, but
says many bridal shops offer preservation
and storage services for safekeeping after the
big day has long passed. “We use a company
that thoroughly cleans the dress, packs it
into a keepsake box, removing all oxygen to
ensure it lasts,” Miller says. This important
step can ensure the wedding gown lasts just
as long as the memories of the big day will.

Some might say planning a wedding is a workout in itself, but to look your best on the big

However, some of the best-kept secrets to looking fabulous may be in your own living room,
according to Jillian Michaels of “The Biggest Loser.” All you need for many of her intense
exercises are 3-pound weights, a floor mat and a little determination. Here are a few key
exercises designed by TV’s kick-butt personal trainer.
1. Lunges with shoulder raises
Stand, legs bent and feet shoulder-width apart. Bend over until your waist is almost parallel

Stand in front of your mat, holding weights above your head. Step backward with right leg,

knows what it takes to get the crowd going
at weddings and events throughout Puget
Sound and beyond
cake needs to be cut at a certain time, and someone needs
to be there to keep people quiet when it comes time for the
toast. People need to take into account that this is an important job.”
Advancing technology has been perhaps one of the most
significant hurdles to overcome for many DJs, but Hollis is
determined to set the record straight – that his job extends far
beyond simply hitting the play button. “Many people really
do think that all they need is an iPod and a set of speakers,”
he says. “They often don’t take into account that it’s about
much more than playing music. It’s about creating an experience and making the day run smoothly.”
The wedding industry is changing faster than ever before,
and as technology continues to advance, many wedding
parties are turning to their iPods to provide the tunes, often
eschewing traditional DJ services. However, George Hollis
of Gotta Dance Productions says hiring DJ services from a
company like his is a priceless investment that adds more
value to an event than many people may realize.
In recent years, he’s noticed some clients are beginning to
realize the importance of hiring a DJ, and are becoming less
likely to hire based on price and price alone. “People want
to hire someone who can read the crowd, and they want to
make sure the DJ isn’t going to play a hit song 40 times just
because the crowd likes it,” Hollis says. “Many brides want
to see a video of the DJ, talk to other clients they’ve worked
with and make sure the person is professional and skilled.”
“Some people do opt not to have an emcee or DJ at their
wedding, but it’s important to have someone in this role who
is not a part of the actual event, because they may not have
the experience to know that certain things need to happen at
certain times during a wedding,” Hollis says. “The wedding
Hollis is as experienced as it gets -- he started in the business
in 1991, and developed Gotta Dance Productions in 2004.
“I got into this business because I love it,” he says. “Even
though technology is creating some challenges, I think DJs
out there just need to be smarter and quicker with answers

Salon Swish might have opened its doors a mere seven

information on wedding flower colors. For more information,
visit www.fifeflowers.com or call (888) 360-9522/(253) 9222025.
Orange Wedding Flowers
Orange flowers are perfect for fall ceremonies, and include
peach or burnt-orange roses, dazzling dahlias and coral-hued
gerberas. Ask for them in centerpieces, accented with tiny
pumpkins and a curl of golden ribbon.
White Wedding Flowers
White flowers are as pure and clean as a fresh snowfall. Use
white roses for a winter wedding, or calla lilies at any time of
year. White daisies are sweet in springtime, while white chrysanthemums and orchids can be used all year round.
Red Wedding Flowers
Red flowers can range from dark, purplish tints to fiery orangered hues. A December wedding might feature potted red poinsettias, while a Valentine’s Day wedding can include red roses
both as boutonnieres and in the bridal party bouquets.
Pink Wedding Flowers
Pink flowers range from pale Asiatic lilies to vibrant hot pink
gerberas and create a feeling of peace and harmony. A wedding
table centerpiece might mix pink stock, larkspur and lisianthus
with hot pink and light pink roses.
Purple Wedding Flowers
Purple flowers are whimsical and unique. The rich purples of
dahlias make a fanciful statement during a wedding ceremony,
while pale mauve lilacs and lavender roses have an old-fashioned, artistic charm.
Yellow Wedding Flowers
Yellow flowers are sunny and bright, and add a cheerful spirit to
any celebration. Ask a florist to use yellow lilies, lemon-yellow
snapdragons or brilliant yellow sunflowers in the floral designs
for your summertime wedding.
Blue Wedding Flowers
Blue flowers include lofty blue irises, puffy hydrangea and
striking blue delphinium. Ask for blue blossoms in a bridal
bouquet as your ‘something blue,’ or to cast a cool tone over an
outdoor wedding reception.
Green Wedding Flowers
Green flowers are unexpected and elegant. Use pale green roses
to brighten up a centerpiece, or viburnum to accent a wedding
bouquet. Light green cymbidium orchids bring an alluring
drama to your wedding flowers, while light green gladiolus and
green tulips are refreshing and fun.
