YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS! 2 | centralwashingtonbridalshow.com BLISS MAGAZINE W welcome welcome! central washington bridal show MEMORY MONTAGE PHOTOGRAPHY YAKIMA — Welcome to the 2014 Central Washington Bridal Show, the best place to start planning your wedding. Here, you can taste samples from caterers and cake decorators, sit inside a limo and meet a variety of wedding professionals face to face. The show is a great opportunity to ask questions and gather information, compare prices and services, register for prizes and see the latest fashions. “This is the only place in Yakima or Ellensburg where you are able to plan your entire wedding under one roof,” says bridal show association president Darin Clark. The Central Washington Bridal Show is committed to providing the most spectacular bridal event in the region, with all the information you need to plan your perfect wedding. Whether your wedding will take place in Yakima, Tri-Cities, Ellensburg or the Cle Elum area, you’ll be able to interview multiple wedding photographers, bridal shops, florists, caterers, wedding and reception sites, DJs, bakeries, party rental companies, and more — all in one fun and glorious day. The bridal show also features two New York style fashion shows, at 3 p.m. and again at 4 p.m., the most electric and technologically advanced fashion show produced in Central Washington. Staged in the south ballroom, each show will seat 500 guests. The fashion shows feature gowns and formalwear, hair, makeup, flowers and jewelry on a lighted runway. Organizers of this 31st annual event are proud of the Central Washington Bridal Show’s strong tradition of offering the area’s largest collection of quality wedding professionals. The show requires its exhibitors to be licensed and local — no hobbyists allowed. JANUARY 2014 The show dates to 1982 when eight exhibitors held the area’s first bridal show at a local hotel. Disc jockey Joe Hiner of Sound Shows recalls hand building lighting structures for that first fashion show because nobody in Yakima had the appropriate equipment. “So many people showed up, we had to put on two fashion shows,” he says. Over the years, the show has continued to build and adapt. Held for a number of years at the Yakima SunDome, the bridal show moved back to the Yakima Convention Center in 2012. Organizers received rave reviews about the remodeled show’s improved atmosphere and new runway show. The show’s bridal guide, Bliss, is loaded with ideas and resources designed especially for couples planning a Central Washington wedding. Readers will find a list of vendors featured at the show in the back of this publication.

The couple had a two-year engagement while Kayla finished her bachelor’s degree. The lengthy engagement gave the bride time to plan the day’s details, which included making many of the rusticlook decorations herself — including a faux cake. The five-tiered frosted showpiece was actually made of hat boxes with a keeper layer on the top. ■ Central Washington Bridal Show Source Book: PHOTOGRAPHER: Memory Montage Photography CATERING: Cascade Catering 8 | centralwashingtonbridalshow.com BLISS MAGAZINE JANUARY 2014 centralwashingtonbridalshow.com | 9 real weddings Photographs by KIRA BARON PHOTOGRAPHY josh &tiffany 9.28.13 RAIN SHOWERS couldn’t ruin Josh Spellman and Tiffany Headley’s wedding day. “The weather was so crummy our whole day that we were not able to put up any decorations, and most of our guests left right after our ceremony,” Tiffany recalls. “But none of that mattered because I got to marry my best friend, the love of my life, which is the only important detail of that day!” Plus, dancing in the rain made for some memorable moments. Josh, a firefighter, and Tiffany, a registered nurse, met on a blind date arranged by friends. “I talked for about three-and-a-half hours straight, with Josh saying about 20 words the whole date,” Tiffany says. “But we both knew that day that we had met our soul mate.” Already set up with household furnishings, the couple asked guests to donate to their honeymoon trip to Cabo San Lucas. “We were able to go on some incredible adventures,” Tiffany says. “It was the perfect way to enjoy the first week of being husband and wife.” CONTINUED >> 10 | centralwashingtonbridalshow.com BLISS MAGAZINE Yakima String Quartet Enjoy the elegance of live music at your wedding.

You may have to remove 5 or so per rose, but the flower will look MUCH better after removing the imperfect outer petals. Hire a professional for hair and make-up. Looking their absolute best gives brides confidence on their wedding day and makes for stunning photographs! My advice for 2014 brides is to have a budget and headcount in order prior to meeting with facilities and caterers. This will save you time and money! Shannon Love Love Photography Erica Moloney Red Lion Hotel Visit your nearby Safeway, we will take care of all your wedding event decor, including bridal showers, celebration dinners, ceremony and reception. Planning a wedding can be stressful! Cut back on your big day’s to-do list by choosing a venue that offers multiple services, such as a fabulous location for both the ceremony and pictures, an in-house catering and included set up. Avoid looking directly at the camera unless your photographer asks you to. Not looking directly into the camera will yield a more natural, photojournalistic look to your pictures. Relax, have fun and just be yourself!

In Washington, there’s a three-day waiting period after your application is filed with the county auditor’s office until your marriage license is valid, so you’ll need to apply at least three days prior to exchanging vows. A marriage license is valid for 60 days anywhere in the state. Expect to pay a non-refundable fee ($64 in Yakima County, cash only; the fee is $35 in Kittitas County, payable by cash, check or money order). A keepsake certificate or certified copies (needed for a name change) carry an additional fee. Blood tests are not required. Both parties must be at least 18 years old (17 under some circumstances) and visit the courthouse together to submit the application. You’ll need to bring photo ID and your Social Security numbers, if applicable, as well as the names of your parents and their birth state or country. No witnesses are needed to obtain a marriage license, but state law requires at least two witnesses be present at the ceremony. Only a judge or licensed or ordained minister can perform the ceremony. For more details, contact the Yakima County Auditor’s office at 509-574-1330. In Kittitas County, call 509-962-7504. ■ — Sara Bristol centralwashingtonbridalshow.com | 15 16 | centralwashingtonbridalshow.com BLISS MAGAZINE JANUARY 2014 centralwashingtonbridalshow.com | 17 real weddings Photographs by LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY john &danea 5.25.13 Central Washington Bridal Show Source Book: PHOTOGRAPHER: Love Photography VENUE: Spring Creek Homestead BRIDAL APPAREL: Fashion Corner MEN’S WEAR: Steve Goodwin The Haberdasher BRIDAL BOUQUET: Blooming Elegance GIFT REGISTRY: Bed Bath & Beyond ACCOMMODATIONS: Oxford Suites 18 | centralwashingtonbridalshow.com HONORING FAMILY was the theme of John and Danea King’s May 2013 wedding at Spring Creek Homestead. The couple met online at Match.com and knew right away this match was perfect. “He was different than everybody else I’d met,” Danea says. John proposed on the beach at Lincoln City, Ore., on the couple’s one-year anniversary. As they began planning their big day, friends and family pitched in to help with many of the details, including catering and decorating. “Everybody around us was just so happy for us when we met and found each other,” recalls Danea. A second marriage for both, John and Danea felt blessed to have all of their five children participate in their wedding ceremony. “The best part was having our kids there with us and having those guys be our wedding party,” Danea says. “It was a little different and exciting that they were all able to share that day with us and be a part of it.” Including the kids, ages 14 to 22, influenced some of the day’s decisions. “It was hard to choose a color (for the bridesmaid dresses) that all the girls would agree on, so I said, ‘Forget it, we’ll just go with black.’” The bride’s youngest daughter, Madison, helped pick the wedding dress. “That was really cool,” Danea says. She wore red shoes in memory of her late mother whose favorite color was red. ■ BLISS MAGAZINE JANUARY 2014 centralwashingtonbridalshow.com | 19 vendors vendors resources Beverages/ Bartenders Aecetia Vineyard at Naches Heights Anastasia McKinnon 2410 Naches Heights Road, Yakima 866-453-5920 nachesheights.com See ad on pages 16-17 Fontaine Estates Winery Amy Robert 151 Rowe Hill Drive, Naches 509-972-8123 fontaineestates.com Safeway safeway.com Silver Lake Winery Jacqueline LeClair 1500 Vintage Road, Zillah 509-829-6235 silverlakewinery.com Stonehenge on the Rocks Sharon Lain 509-829-9411 stonehengeontherocks.com Bridal Accessories Cascade Garden Eileen Weresch Yakima By appointment only 509-966-3744 cascade-garden.com Fashion Corner 401 S.
