VENDOR SPOTLIGHT
Being a beautiful glowing bride is not an overnight process. Flawless skin and hair can not be achieved on your wedding day as your make up artist and hairdresser prepare you to walk down the aisle. The earlier you begin the process, the closer you will be to your goal.
One way to begin is to visit an aesthetician. These experts go beyond beauty, but rather educating individuals about proper skin health and nutrition. Advice is customized based on your skin type (normal, oily, dry or combination) and dermatological history. To find one in your area go to http://www.skinterra.com/education/aesthetician.html.
Spas are also a bride's best friend. Regular visits prior to the big day will give your skin a healthy shine and glow as you walk down the aisle. Moreover, the visits can help you unwind and distress during the most hectic days of the planning process. To find a good spa in your area go to www.spafinder.com.
ENGAGING THOUGHTS...
From the editor's desk
Happy New Year! Yes it is 2007 already! Many of you got engaged over the holidays and many more of you will be engaged by Valentine's Day. Here are some fun facts about weddings that will add a little humor to the planning process as you begin the journey. And along the way look back and refer to them as a way to distress yourself during the planning process. Remember, this is a special day and getting there should be a joyous road.During the Anglo Saxon period in Western Europe, grooms often kidnapped their brides form neighboring villages with the help of brawny and fearless groomsmen. In ancient Wales, groomsmen had to respond correctly to the bride's father's riddles to "win" the bride for the groom. The wisest of the groom's family and friends was chosen as the "best man" for the job.
The modern wedding cake was born in ancient Europe when guest would throw stale bread, as a symbol of fertility, at the couple as they departed for their honeymoon. Later, a French chef decided to add a sweet stacked cake and the rest is history.
June weddings and bouquets have similar purposes wedding history. Weddings were often held during the month of June because May was when people had their annual bath. Bouquets were added in as a way to ask any unwanted odors.

POPPING THE QUESTION...
Answers to your most perplexing bridal dilemmasQ: For my upcoming wedding, my budget is limited and I really would like some ideas on how to stretch my dollar and have the wedding of my dreams. Any hints?
A: First and foremost organize your budget and vendor supply list. Then decide what is more important to you. Do you want a great party with great food? Then a larger portion will go to the reception and DJ. Do memories matter most to you? Then your photography/videography budget will be slightly higher than others. Once you have determined the most significant aspect, then apply the most basic budget saving ideas, such as a smaller guest list, a midweek wedding, limited cash bar etc. This will make all the difference in your budget.
