<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Sky lanterns have been a popular in various Asian ceremonies for
thousands of years. Recently they have become very popular in the west
due to their depictions in movies such as Tangled and Hangover 2. </span></span></span></div>

Lanterns are the next big thing for night wedding celebrations, birthday
parties and luminosity remembrance events. These lanterns are sure to
be a huge hit and will have guests talking about them for years to
come. They will lift away and be visible for quite a while.
They are basically miniature hot air balloons! </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></b><span style="font-family: Arial;">1) Check the direction of the wind before lighting to ensure there are no obstacles.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
2) Ensure the lantern is fully extended and not creased or hanging</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> sideways. (This is best done by holding the top of the lantern, gently </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> lifting it a couple of feet, then dropping it sharply.)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
3) Air pressure will inflate the lantern.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
4) Hold the lantern upright, and have an assistant light the wick. After
a </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">few seconds the lantern will feel lighter, and then gradually rise.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
5) Do not attempt to throw it up into the air - just guide it and let it go </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">by itself. Then stand back and enjoy!</span></span></div>

Have you ever looked at a space or venue for your Ceremony and Reception and just could not visualize it any other way? It can be a challenge to your creativity if you need to give a potential room a complete face-lift, but it can be revamped to make it completely you! If you lack the ability to accomplish something like this, Dream Wedding and Event Planners will work with you to make a space distinctively yours!<br />
<br />
One of the best ways to make over a room is with beautiful specialty lighting. Amber and pink lighting will give the room a warm glow that will make even a warehouse room stylish and chic.<br />
<br />
We planned and coordinated a wedding for Jayne and John at MOCAD, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, Michigan. They came to us wanting to do a warehouse wedding. As you can see from these engagement pictures taken by Suman, they loved the downtown inner city graffiti, art and culture.<br />
<br />

There were such a fun couple. After working with them for about one year with the planning aspect, I grew very fond of them and their family. As you can see from the pictures below, they have TONS of personality and were not at all shy with the camera......<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Quite often, couples wait until they have planned the majority of their wedding before deciding to hire a cinematographer to film their wedding day.</span> Usually this is because they are keeping a close eye on their overall budget and believe a "video" is something they could possibly do without.<br />
<br />
After the party is over, memories fade over time. There are so many things you will miss (or forget) throughout your wedding day
and evening that your cinematographer will capture for you to enjoy
afterward. With a professional wedding film, you will see the special people in your lives laughing, getting ready and enjoying your big day. You will be able to see what your fiance was thinking and doing before the ceremony, listen again to the special toasts given before dinner, and look back at the people you love that are no longer with you. Hearing their voices and seeing them enjoy your wedding day is priceless....<br />
<br />
I think the best way to understand the value is to see for yourself what a quality film looks like. This is Valerie and Brian's wedding ceremony and reception that took place at the Colony Club in Detroit, Michigan. It was produced and edited by Jamie Honce of 3rd Street Films.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">If at all possible, choose a professional cinematographer that will provide you with a breathtaking film that just cannot be produced like this by a well-intentioned friend or family member. You have spent countless hours and thousands of dollars planning for this special day</span></span>, so leave it to the experienced, talented professionals with multiple cameras to provide you with an heirloom that you can share with your children and grandchildren.<br />
<br />
We can provide you with the most talented filmmakers in the industry right here in the Metro Detroit area and will help you adjust your budget so you can accommodate one of the most important aspects of your wedding. Your film will be a living memory of you and your families/friends in a very special "moment in time." Believe me, you won't regret it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Kathy Byrum Assisting the Bride and her Mother</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would like to clear up a common misconception about your Wedding Planner versus the Venue wedding coordinator that books your event, helps you plan your food and floor plan and works on your wedding day to coordinate everything for you. Quite often, they will inform Brides and Grooms that book with them they don't need to hire a Day Of Coordinator or have your Wedding Planner there because they take care of "everything".</span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are the facts surrounding this confusion: </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On-site venue ‘wedding coordinators’ do not actually assist you in the
planning of your wedding, outside of making sure the reception site is
staffed, food and beverage is provided and the décor
you provide is set up. And even then, depending on the scope
of your décor, you may have to provide the venue with assistance in
helping them set it up. Taking the reins comes easy to a
professional planner. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They have a list of
“vendors” they can recommend to you so you don’t have to shop around.
The truth is many of these vendors pay to be placed on their list, may not be the caliber of vendors you need on your special day, or are not
the perfect vendor for you and your style. Brides and grooms are often
misled by the terminology the venues use. The
reality is, the on-site “event/wedding coordinator” should be
called the “venue event manager,” as that is their true role. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On your wedding day, their focus is going to be on their staff, the kitchen, the food
presentation, the stock, the set-up, the break down and those types of
details. They are not going to meet with your vendors with you to
ensure you ask all the right questions before your wedding day; they will not be calling your
vendors to make sure they are paid and confirmed; they will not be doing
your running for you; they will not be at your home or Bridal Suite
making sure you have plenty to eat and drink, distributing flowers,
sewing something that has gone wrong with the dresses, etc. They will
not be at your Rehearsal to ensure the ceremony runs smoothly. <span> </span><span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

</o:OfficeDocumentSettings>
</xml><![endif]--></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>Your personal wedding planner will answer
all of your questions from the very beginning of the planning, assist with contracts and vendor negotiations, help
with event design, create a detailed timeline of
the wedding day events and make sure all of your vendors and the venue are on the same page prior to your big day.</span> We will guide you through the planning process from setting and maintaining your budget to keeping Aunt Mary away from crazy Uncle Joe.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I could
go on and on,
but most importantly, they will not have developed a
personal relationship with you like we will. The trust that is built
during the planning process with us carries over into a relaxed,
enjoyable wedding day. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Over the years, we have developed many excellent working relationships with Venue
coordinators by communicating and working together to ensure your
wedding day is perfect. Actually, we take on a some of the work the
Venue coordinators would have to do so their time can be freed up to
ensure the staff is working efficiently and the kitchen gets the food to
your guests on time. Sometimes your venue coordinator has been engaged in a tug of war with inexperienced planners that will not or do not know how to work as a team for your benefit.</span></span><br />

<br />
Have you considered having a wedding in the winter months? My guess is most of you have not thought about this option. Having been involved in planning weddings for over 13 years, I think this is a wonderful time of year for a wedding. Here's why:<br />
<br />
1. You have a wider selection of Wedding Venues and Vendors<br />
<br />
If you don't start planning soon enough for a spring, summer or fall wedding, you can miss out on securing the venues and vendors you prefer. You may need to plan as far as 18 months to two years in advance for the most popular venues and vendors in your area. Holding your wedding in the months of January through March gives you a much better chance of booking where you want your wedding to take place and the vendors at the top of your list. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
2. Discounts for Off-Season Weddings<br />
<br />
Sometimes you can get off-season discounts from your venue and vendors. Not all them will offer this, but some do in an effort to book during the slow wedding season.<br />
<br />
3. Combine two events into one<br />
<br />
Dream Wedding and Event Planners just planned and coordinated a spectacular New Year's Eve wedding. Everyone had a wonderful time at the Reception, but adding New Year's Eve into the mix ramped up the party even more. You could combine your wedding day with Valentine's Day if it falls on a weekend. We always plan and coordinate weddings around the three major summertime weekend holidays: Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day. The advantage for your guests is they have an extra day off work to relax, especially if they are from out of town.<br />

4. Romance, romance, romance....<br />
<br />
Weddings are all about romance, but there's something special about winter weddings. When you think of snuggling up with a cup of hot cocoa in front of a fireplace while there is snowstorm outside, especially with the one you love, it's almost like "comfort food". Is there anything more romantic than the picture below inside a comfy limo with the snow swirling around outside?<br />

<br />
5. Higher attendance <br />
<br />
The typical percentage of regrets for summer weddings is 20%. This is because people have personal and family vacations planned and can't do it all. In the winter months, however, people have settled in to the work and school routines after the Holidays and are happy to receive an invitation to a special event like your wedding day!<br />
<br />
6. The weather is more "predictable"<br />
<br />
In the summer months, everyone hopes and prays the weather is sunny and warm with no rain predicted. Even if it is planned to be held indoors, couples hope for the best so they can grab a few outdoor pictures in between. In the winter, everyone knows it will be cold and can dress accordingly.<br />
<br />
7. Photos in the winter are gorgeous<br />
<br />
Let's face it. None of us enjoys shivering in the cold, but a fresh snowfall is beautiful. Photos taken in the snow are romantic and fun. You can still step outside for a few minutes to get some amazing wedding photos taken in the winter. <br />

<b>CHOOSING YOUR WEDDING CAKE</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whether you choose a traditional white tiered cake with handmade sugar flowers, natural flowers or a more contemporary design in a bright color, what is certain is that after the Bride, your cake will be the focus of attention at your Wedding Reception. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Choosing your wedding cake can seem like a daunting task. I hope you find these words of wisdom helpful in finding your perfect wedding cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>CHOOSING A CAKE DESIGNER</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When choosing a cake designer, ask to see examples of their cakes. Not only will this inspire you, but it will showcase their skill and expertise. A talented cake designer can replicate any picture you bring them. Have a tasting before ordering your cake. Many cake designers will have a range of exquisite flavors, different fillings, and are often able to design a cake that incorporates more than one flavor.</div>

<b>ORDERING YOUR CAKE</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When you meet with your cake designer, take along any pictures, inspiration or swatches of material you have for your dress, color schemes, flowers, venue, etc. This will inspire them and make sure they make your cake so it matches the design and feel of your Reception.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The best cake designers can get booked up to one year in advance of your wedding date. If you have your heart set on a particular designer, make sure you contact them in plenty of time. For most cake designers, though, order you cake around 6 to 7 months in advance. Once you have booked your baker, you will be asked to confirm the date of delivery and pay a deposit. You will need to have secured your venue, have a idea of the budget for your wedding cake, and discuss the delivery time of your cake with your Wedding Planner at Dream Wedding and Event Planners.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When thinking about the size of cake you need, consider the number of guests who will be attending and whether you will be serving the cake as dessert or part of a dessert table. This will affect the number of slices you will be serving.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Confirm with your baker whether you will be providing any flowers for decoration or if you would prefer edible sugar flowers. Also, make sure you advise your designer if they need to make allowances for guests with nut or other allergies.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course, don't forget the cake stand. Some bakers will have stands for you to rent, or your Planner at Dream Wedding and Event Planners can locate a rental for you.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>CUTTING YOUR CAKE</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Believe it or not, wedding cakes are a long and ancient tradition dating back to the Roman Empire. In those days, the Groom would break a loaf of bread over the head of his new Bride as a symbol of dominance. Thankfully, times have changed and the meaning behind the cutting of the cake has evolved in a joyful celebration representing the start of the couple's life together.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You cake can be cut after your Grand Announcement into the Ballroom and served as dessert, or after dinner, at which time the cake slices can be served later<b> </b>in the evening with coffee, summer fruits or ice cream.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The bottom line is this: Select the designer of your cake that reflects you as a couple, the formality of your wedding reception, and taste. If a wedding cake does not taste as good as it looks, it is a waste of money. I'm sure you want your Guests to enjoy every aspect of your Wedding Dinner and Reception, and everyone looks forward to a delicious slice of the Wedding Cake!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Now that you're engaged, you are
embarking on the search for the perfect ceremony and reception sites.
Before you get started, here is a list of what you need to know:</span><br />
<br />
<span>1. </span>Talk with your fiance and families about how many guests you plan to invite.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
2. Determine your budget - the most amount of money you want to spend on absolutely everything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
3. Hire Dream Wedding and Event Planners for their expertise and advice. It can be overwhelming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
4. How do you want your ceremony and reception to feel to you and your guests? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
5. Make sure your reception venue is "roomy" enough to comfortably fit all of your guests.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
6. When you are standing the room, try to visualize where everything will happen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> <br />
7. Look for columns or any obstructions that might block your guests' view.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
8. How private is your reception space for your party?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
9. Lighting is key. Try to visit you space at the exact time of day you are planning the event.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
10. Determine if the curtains/carpet will blend with your color selection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
11. Does the room have good acoustics so your music sounds good?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
12. Make sure there is plenty of parking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
These are just the "tip of the iceberg", but important elements to keep
in mind during your search. Dream Wedding and Event Planners will
assist you in every aspect of your planning journey. They will help you
with every detail, often addressing pros and cons that you would not be
aware of.</span><br />

When couples throughout the Country think about
destination weddings in Michigan, it is common for them to consider a Beach
wedding on one of the Great Lakes or at the Grand Hotel on the fabulous
Mackinac Island. Michiganders, however, know all too well that some of the most
spectacular venues and cathedral churches are located right in the Detroit
Metro area.</div>

There are definite advantages for planning your wedding ceremony and reception at a hotel. You will save time and money by choosing a hotel for your wedding and guest room block. Here are some of those advantages:<br />
<br />
<br />
1) The Bride, Groom and Wedding Party will not need to book transportation services (limo or party bus) to take them to and from the church or ceremony site, then to the reception location.<br />
<br />
<br />
2) If the Ladies are getting their hair and makeup done at the hotel, they will already be onsite the night before the Wedding Day. They will not need to travel from a home or other hotel suite to the ceremony venue.<br />
<br />
<br />

3) Everyone (Wedding Party, Families and Guests) will be much more relaxed knowing they are already on location for all of the festivities of the Wedding Day. You will not need to reserve shuttle services for your guests from their hotel(s) to the ceremony and/or reception.</div>

4) The Wedding Party can decide to rent a limo or party bus to go offsite for pictures on their wedding day, especially if they choose to have a "First Look" and see each other privately before the official Ceremony planned for the early evening.

<br />
Engagement is your promise to each that you will marry. Having your Engagement pictures taken is an important part of that engagement. Some couples ask, "Why bother?". There are several reasons why you should definitely have these taken before your wedding day.<br />
<br />
Having your Engagement picture photo shoot is indispensable because this is a "once in a lifetime" part of your journey together towards the wedding. They are part of the emotional aspect of getting engaged and planning your wedding. In the years to come, you will reminisce about this special moment in time.<br />

It will get you both comfortable with your wedding photographer. It is critical that you like your photographer (determine this when you initially meet with him/her before hiring) because it will definitely show on your wedding day that you are not yourselves. This is not a time to be unfamiliar with your photographer who will be spending the entire day and evening with you.</div>

You can use one of your favorites pictures to frame and display on an easel at your Reception. Some couples display it with the glass on the picture. Others like to leave the glass off and have a wide border with pens available for their guests to write well wishes to them right on it.</div>

Typically your photographer will include the Engagement Session as part of his/her photography package. Don't miss out on such an important event in your lives. You will regret not doing so down the road. So, schedule your pictures well before the wedding day. But most importantly: Have fun!</div>

Selecting your Limo, Party Bus or a Rolls Royce for Transportation on your wedding day is more important than you might think. You need to make sure the company you select is dependable with great drivers and a well-maintained vehicle. Here are a few tips for picking the right company and vehicle:<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Book your car company at least six months out, sooner if you can.</span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
You should hire your car company sooner than later so you can get the vehicle of your choice with the right company. After you have your wedding date, ceremony and reception locations and your timeline determined, start researching. Dream Wedding and Event Planners can save you time and money by helping you research our preferred limo companies that have proven track records with our past couples. They can also pass on a discount to you simply because we are handling the details for you.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">The Style of your Vehicle</span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
A classic white limo is perfect for a traditional wedding. If this is not your style, you can match your ride to your taste. You can have a classic car take the Bride to the Church then around town with the the new Mr. and Mrs. for pictures between the Ceremony and Reception. But what about your Wedding Party? You can hire a fun party bus or limo so they can celebrate going around town with you. You can ditch the classic car at a certain point and hop into the limo or party bus with your wedding party for the final pictures. Then everyone can head back to the Reception together having the time of your lives.<br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Be sure to visit the car rental company to see the vehicle of your choice.</span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
We don't want any surprises on your wedding day, especially with your limo, party bus or specialty car. You can most certainly view the fleet of vehicles they offer on their website, but seeing it in person will give you the reassurance that you have selected the car that is right for you and your wedding party.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">When choosing the rental time, plan for lateness or delays.</span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Dream Wedding and Event Planners will help you put together a very detailed, comprehensive Timeline from the beginning of your day until the very end. It is critical to allow for the Ladies or the Men starting a little late on their way to the Ceremony or taking a bit longer than you plan for after-Ceremony pictures around town. Kathy Byrum, your Lead Planner will make sure everything stays on schedule so you don't keep your Guests waiting. However, it is always wise to set aside a certain portion of time in the schedule for traffic issues or other tie-ups. Again, the last thing we want is for anyone to feel late or rushed at any time. This is your wedding day... Your only focus should be getting dressed, arriving and having a wonderful time.Kathy Byrum, Dream Wedding and Event Plannershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17222133223215848588noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8657808063244072707.post-41642312100800998742013-03-01T10:54:00.001-05:002013-03-29T09:25:15.042-04:00Specialty Lighting Adds that "Final Touch" to your ReceptionSet aside some extra funds from your wedding budget so you can incorporate specialty lighting into your decor for your Reception Ballroom.

This is your opportunity to celebrate and showcase your relationship and style.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">THE WEDDING ENTRANCE</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many couples choose traditional songs and processionals, while others make their wedding ceremony their own style with special songs, routines and surprising twists. Create your wedding day that will be remembered for years to come by planning a special entrance into your ceremony. Like the picture below, have the curtains closed to be drawn back magically and held in place while the Bride walks down.</span></div>
<div>

ADD A SLIDESHOW</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are getting married in a church, you can use their projector screens or large television screens to create a slideshow to be played before the Processional. If in another venue, you can rent one large screen to put up front so all of your guests can see the pictures. You could also time your slideshow so pictures of each member of your bridal party appears on the screen as they walk down the aisle. When the Bride enters and walks down the aisle, you could have one of your engagement pictures shown leaving it up on the screen. This way, the guests will see the picture and will then turn their attention from the picture to the Bride as she makes that special walk to her Groom.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You could consider adding a small band for your ceremony processional. Have pre-recorded music play for the Prelude, Special Seating and Wedding Party entrance. When it is time for the Bride to enter, have the musicians play your bridal entrance song. They could sit to the far right or left near the front. Your band could consist of three, four or more musicians including perhaps guitars, trumpets, piano, and strings. The music will magically fill the room for the Bride's walk down the aisle.</span></div>

<strong>"My
husband and I could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding than the one
that we had. It was unique and perfect for us, and was truly a fairy tale
wedding! We still get compliments from all of our guests about how amazing the
venue, food, service, DJ, and photography were! It really was one of the
best days of my life, and was all made possible because of Kathy and her
fantastic team at Dream Wedding and Event Planners. I would highly
recommend them to everybody!"</strong></div>

<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">Whether you choose a traditional white tiered cake decorated with handmade sugar flowers, natural flowers or a more comtemporary design in a bright color made from your favorite cake flavor, what is certain is that after the bride, your cake will be the focus of attention at your wedding reception.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">Choosing your wedding cake can seem like a daunting task. I hope you find these words of wisdom helpful in finding your perfect wedding cake.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-small;"></span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">CHOOSING A CAKE DESIGNER</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">When choosing a cake designer, ask to see examples of their cakes. Not only will this inspire you, but it will showcase their skill and expertise. A gifted cake designer can replicate any picture you bring them.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">Have a tasting before ordering your cake. Many cake designers will have a range of exquisite flavors, different fillings, and are often able to design a cake that incorporates more than one flavor.</span></strong></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">ORDERING YOUR CAKE</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">When you meet wth your cake designer, take along any pictures, inspiration, or swatches of material you have for your dress, color schemes, flowers, venue, etc. This will inspire them and make sure they make your cake so it matches the design and feel of your reception.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">The best cake designers can get booked up to a year in advance. If you have your heart set on particular designer, make sure you contact them in plenty of time. For most cake designers, though, order your cake around 6 to 7 months in advanc.e Once you have booked your cake designer, you will be asked to confirm the date of delivery and pay a deposit so you will need to have secured your venue and get an idea of your budget before you book.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">When thinking about the size of cake you need, consider the number of guests who will be attending and whether you will be serving the cake as dessert or as part of a dessert table. This will affect the number of slices you will be serving. </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">Confirm with your cake designer whether you will be providing any flowers for decoration or if you would prefer edible sugar flowers - and of course, don't forget the cake stand. Some reception venues will have cake stands for you to rent. Ask to see pictures and check the sizing. You may want to rent your cake stand from the cake designer if they offer them.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">Make sure you advise the designer if they need to make allowances for guests with nut or other allegies.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">Your cake designer will offer a delivery and setup service. These details will be worked out with your event planner, Dream Wedding and Event Planners.</span></strong></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">Believe it or not, wedding cakes are a long and ancient tradition dating back to the Roman Empire. In those days, the Groom would break a loaf of bread over the head of his new bride as a symbol of dominance. Thankfully, times have changed, and the meaning behind the cutting of the cake has evolved into a joyful celebration representing the start of the couple's life together.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Georgia;">The cake can be cut after your Grand Announcement or after dinner, and can be served later in the evening with coffee, summer fruits or ice cream.</span></strong></div>

Although this is not a new photography trick, it is new to me. I found this example on a blog put out by <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Jeffrey Lewis Bennett, a local Michigan photographer. I think it would be so fun to have a picture like this one:</span><br />

<br />
We assisted Michael and Andrea in the planning and coordination of their Tented Outdoor Wedding this past August 2012 in South Lyon, Michigan. The theme was "Around The World", and it was reflected in their wedding invitations that were Passports for the Guests to arrive.<br />

The card box was an old-fashioned, worn suitcase left open on the Gift Table to hold the cards, and the Seating Chart was designed by the Groom to look like a map of the world with everyone's names assigned to a different country at each table. The Cuisine was Food Stations from the four corners of the world, located in the four corners of the tent. There was food from Poland, Italy, America and China. The Guests traveled from food station to food station filling up on delicacies from each country.<br />
<br />
For entertainment there was a Steel Drum Band, Flair Bartenders juggling the bottles while serving at the bar (not to mention blowing flames from their mouths!), fireworks and the most magical display of over 100 Chinese lanterns that floated up into the night sky looking like stars the further away they went. The Guests had the time of their lives with so many "fun" and entertaining things to do and watch. The DJ was great and got everyone up and dancing into the "wee hours of the evening".... The Pictures are courtesy of Blaine Siesser Photography.<br />

We assisted them with the entire planning process as well as full service coordination on the wedding day. The historic feel of the ballroom set the mood for their guests along with some cultural entertainment from Jose Bueno's Mariachi Band. They traveled from table to table during the dinner hour providing music from the six piece group throughout the formal dinner service. For the first time in the history of wedding receptions in the Ballroom, Burma's garter got caught in the crystal chandelier when Carlos tossed it for the guys. Sorry guys!! All in all, everyone had a great time. The pictures below are courtesy of Blaine Siesser Photography.<br />

Michael wanted it to look like the wedding scene in the movie, "Twilight". We duplicated the general feeling, and they were thrilled. It was everything they had dreamed of and hoped for.

<span style="font-size: small;">Have you heard of Pinterest yet? I am sure many of you have, but there are still people out there that have not. It is the latest online personalized idea board for everyone, whether you are planning a wedding or just want to post and keep track of your dreams, ideas and favorite things. You just set it up and peruse the web for ideas. Then you simply "Pin" pictures that you like onto your boards. See Dream Wedding and Event Planners' boards at </span>http://pinterest.com/weddingdesigner/wedding-and-event-designs/. It is so much fun you could spend hours "Pinning" and following other "Pinners". You will probably have to set a timer so the time doesn't get away from you! Below are some of our "Pins". You can ask to be invited at www.Pinterest.com.<br />

Candy Buffets are so popular right now for Wedding Receptions. At every wedding I have coordinated where they had a candy buffet, the guests could not get enough of it. You would think only the young adults and children would love this, but all ages gather around to get their bags filled with the candy of their choice. Most couples choose the old-fashioned candy like Dots or Licorice, but you can step it up a bit with gourmet chocolates that are individually wrapped. The candy bags can also serve as your Favors. Whether you hire a candy bar professional or do it yourself, it will definitely be a "hit" at your Reception.
