Come see Memory Makers Entertainment at the Gurnee Holiday in on January 29th!!

When it comes to bridal shows, attending at least one local one is very important.. and Lake County Bridal knows how to host a great one!  Not only do you get to gather all kinds of great details for your big day, but you get to spend it with others who are planning their weddings.  The ideas you can gather are certainly endless and can certainly get you ahead in your tedious planning!

So why should you plan on attending a local bridal show?  Unless you’re an experienced planner, you need some help.  By getting out and into the bridal show experience, you will be able to hone your planning skills along with meeting those who can help you along the way.  It is a great place to meet with planners and vendors in a short amount of time so that you can rule some out right away if they just don’t fit your personality.

For vendors like photographers, bakers, florists, or even entertainers, you can see a sampling of their work life and in action.  If a style doesn’t fit you, you will know right away instead of wasting time making phone calls and visiting websites.

Along the same lines, you can gather business cards, brochures, and even DVDs from vendors that you believe will work for you.  You can share them later with your fiancé to see if he agrees with your vision.

Meeting with these various vendors will give you an idea of how much things are going to cost you and which services you are willing to spend more on.  It will give you a guideline on how much to budget for the whole wedding day.

Perhaps the best part about attending a local bridal show is the social aspect.  You get to spend time with your family and friends (if they are able to go) and bounce ideas off each other.  It is fun to share this special time with all those special to you!  Make a day of it and remember to just keep it light and fun.  You may even make some new friends!

Lake County’s Largest Bridal Fair will be held on January 4th, 2015 from 12:00-3:00p.m. at Midlane Country Club in Wadsworth, Illinois.  The show is hosted by Lake County Bridal and will feature over 70 wedding vendors.  If that isn’t enough to get you to the show, they are offering a free admission with the purchase of the My Wedding Local app.

The My Wedding Local app connects brides with their local vendors and gets the conversation going.  It is a very valuable resource for brides and grooms alike!

Where you choose to have your wedding can be a tough choice.  Whether you choose a church or a different location, Lake County Bridal can help in the search for the perfect venue.  Keep these things in mind when making your final choice:

•           There may be a church that you have an attachment to.  It could be where your parents got married or where you have attended church for an extended amount of time.  In this case, a church is an easy choice.  As long as you agree as a couple, there should be no issue.

•           Churches know weddings since they are held there often.  They have everything on hand for you to use, and it is very traditional.  Churches can also be gorgeous buildings with stained glass windows and gorgeous features that will look amazing in pictures.

•           Churches often do not charge much for a wedding ceremony, and if you are a member of the church, it may be free or very affordable.

•           Having your wedding onsite can save your guests the trouble of having to travel between the church and reception site.  You can have your ceremony and reception in very close proximity to each other, which is very convenient and leaves more time to party!

•           Depending on the number of guests, some churches may not be able to hold all of your guests.  By the same token, if you have a lot of guests at an onsite venue, you have to make sure there is adequate seating set up.

•           Wedding venues often offer package deals, so that everything is taken care of for you.  They will set-up and take down your decorations, but usually for an extra fee.  It can definitely be worth it, depending on the amount you need done.

•           Both churches and venues can offer up beautiful scenery.  If you definitely want an outdoor wedding, however, then you will have to find a venue to accommodate you and your guests.

There is no wrong choice when it comes to choosing a church or an onsite venue.  It all depends on your budget and your tastes as a couple.  With so many options out there, Lake County Bridal can help make the whole process easier.  Remember this is your day, and it should be in a place that you have always imagined.

An engagement photo shoot is your introduction to the world as a committed couple.  It doesn’t have to be stuffy or cheesy, as it should represent you as a couple.  Lake County Bridal has some very unique and fun ideas for your engagement shoot.

If you already have a photographer hired, you already know that you like their style.  Not to mention, an engagement shoot will get you comfortable in front of the camera, which is great, because on your wedding day, the pictures will be endless!  Your photographer also gets a feel for how comfortable you are and the best angles to shoot you from.

If you are planning on sending out save-the-dates, then you will want to be creative with your pictures.  All of your guests will love getting a little preview of the two of you as a couple, so why not make it memorable?

You can theme your photo shoot from a movie, some of the most popular being The Notebook, Star Wars, Harry Potter, or just a general Disney shoot.  It helps if both of you are on board with the idea or that you both love the movies you are imitating.

With the rise of zombie popularity, some couples are choosing to theme their pictures in this creepy way.  You may need some friends or family around to pose as zombies for some of the pictures so that you and your partner are still recognizable!

Is there a sport or activity that you and your partner just love?  Why not model your pictures after that?  You can do just one sport, like baseball or football, or just a general sports theme.  It is especially easy to put your wedding date on a jersey, which is a very clever idea.

If you are a sentimental couple, have your shoot where you first met.  You can also have pictures done where you first kissed or first said “I love you.”  These pictures will be priceless to you in the future.

For the nostalgic couple, a carnival or circus themed engagement photo shoot is perfect.  Not only are there so many colors and activity around you, it is also just like another date!  It takes you back to the simpler days and makes you reflect on the importance of the one you love.

Finally, there is the patriotic themed pictures.  With so many serving or have served in the military, this can be made especially special.  You can choose to make it vintage or keep it classic.  Either way, it is sure to evoke plenty of emotion!

Possibilities for you as a couple are truly endless.  Only you two know what will work best, so find a fun theme and stick with it!  Lake County Bridal knows many qualified photographers that can cater to your every crazy wish.

It can be a daunting task:  choosing who gets to come celebrate your special day with you.  You do not want hurt feelings or people to wonder why they weren’t invited.  Merging families and friends comes with a lot of decisions to be made, and that starts with the wedding guest list.  So how do you decide?  Lake County Bridal offers these tips:

1.  Make a list of your family members on both sides.  They should be definite guests (unless you are having a very small wedding or are estranged from your family).  Put all of the people you want to absolutely invite after your family members.  Those you absolutely want at your wedding should be listed first because they are the easiest to think of.

2.  Take a look at your budget after you have all of your absolutes to determine approximately how many more guests you can invite.  This may also determine if you include an “and guest” on your invites.

3.  Have both of your parents make their own lists and merge them with your own.  Work together with everyone so that you are all on the same page.  It may take some time and a lot of convincing, but eventually you can come up with one master list that everyone can at least mostly agree on.

4.  Do not feel obligated to invite your coworkers.  If they are a big part of your lives, then by all means.  You should also never send out a mass invite or hang an invite on the bulletin board.  You do not know how many will be showing up to crash the party!  At the same time, do not invite everyone and leave out one or two.  Generally, the rule is to invite anyone from work that you hang out with after work hours on a regular basis.

5.  You can choose to NOT invite children.  Of course, you may hurt some feelings by doing this, but if you are having an evening black-tie wedding, children may not exactly fit in.  If you choose to invite them, you may need to provide childcare, which can be an added expense.  You should, however, invite children in your immediate family.

6.  Remember that it is your day as a couple, and you get to have the final say!

Building a guest list can be one of the most stressful details when planning your wedding day, but with these tips from Lake County Bridal, hopefully it will be a little easier.  Remember always that it is your day, and you do not have to invite anyone that you do not want crashing the most important day of your life!

It will be one of the most special vacations you ever take.. the first one as a married couple.  Choosing where to go may seem like a daunting task, but Lake County Bridal has some great ideas of where to go and which local travel agents to use.  Whether you want to take a simple trip to somewhere in the States or take a two week European tour, you cannot go wrong!

One of the most romantic, yet still affordable, choices is to spend your honeymoon in Bora Bora in the French Polynesian islands.  You will have your own private bungalow if you wish, surrounded by the prettiest waters you’ve ever seen.  There is plenty to do here too, especially if you are an adventurous couple.

Santorini, Greece is another great option for honeymooners.  It is vibrant with color from the blue waters to the black and red beaches.  The history is alive here, and it is sure to please anyone with an interest in the past.

Of course Maui, Aruba, Maldives, St. Lucia, or anywhere in the Caribbean are perfect for beach getaways.  You can score some all-inclusive deals to make it even easier.

If you want to stay away from the popular beaches, somewhere like Charleston, South Carolina could work for you.  It is full of history and beautiful scenery.  Napa Valley, California is also a great choice and perfect for the wine-loving couple.

Paris, Madrid, or anywhere in Italy are always no-fail options.  Ireland and England are also great choices and offer so many things to do.

Seeing all of the choices out there and knowing that your opportunities are literally endless, using a local travel agent can take away much of your stress and let you enjoy your honeymoon.  They know all the good deals too, and they often have pull with certain vendors, so they can often get you what you want and save you a little money.  They have the experience, and that experience is valuable when you have no idea about your honeymoon destination.  You should be clear with your agent about what you do and don’t want on your honeymoon itinerary, and they will deliver every time without you having to lift a finger!

Choosing a honeymoon destination should be fun and exciting!  So narrow down your choices, pick out a travel agent, and get to packing for your once in a lifetime trip.
