What's so different about make-up for a wedding?

What's the biggest difference between your everyday make-up and the make-up for your wedding? Photography.

Your wedding photos are going to be some of the most cherished pictures you will ever have taken of you and your husband & family. Depending on the time of day of your wedding, if you do not accentuate your features enough or in the correct way, you may not look your best.

For instance, a typical mistake is a "natural girl" wearing little or no makeup at an evening wedding - and then looking washed-out in the pictures because they were taken at night using a flash.

Another example is wearing a lot of powder at a morning wedding. While powder is usually necessary for a photo shoot or evening wedding, the morning light can make you look "artificial" if you have too much on.

If you do not plan on hiring someone to do your make-up for you, don't just assume you can throw it on like you would normally. Get a good book about make-up for special occasions & weddings(try the book Beaute Occasions by Robert Jones. Get it at www.beautemadesimple.com), or schedule an appointment to sit down with a Mary Kay Consultant or make-up artist who will teach you what to do, help you identify your types of features and what to do specifically for them, and help you avoid classic make-up mistakes.

More tips to come!

The Same Day Edit

At most weddings, the first time your guests will see you is as you walk down the aisle towards your husband-to-be. Will you cry? Laugh? Smile? Thankfully you made a great decision and hired a videographer to capture those moments along with hundreds of other memories during your day.

But by the time you've walked down the aisle, you have already spent precious hours that have been filled with beauty, emotion, nerves, and laughter that your guests will never be able to witness.

What if you could share those moments with your loved ones at the reception? The bridal preparations, the first time your husband-to-be sees you in your dress, the laughter and joy during the formal photography session...Then top it all off with that highly anticipated walk down the aisle and your wedding vows.

Now THAT is a memorable presentation! Your guests will hardly believe their eyes!

But is it possible to show something that quickly that is also professional and high quality? Currently Edit 1 Media is one of the very few companies in the entire country that can create such a presentation with the high quality that our clients have come to expect.

Our Same Day Edit Presentation is not just some still frames captured from our cameras and put to cheesy music. It is a full motion video that embraces the moments of your day! Please visit our website at www.edit1media.com or call us at 1-800-719-0185 to set up your free personal consultation.

New Life New Home Oh Oh Septic Tank problems

$13,000 later 1year 4 months after I bought my home, my septic system failed. Please don't let this happen to you.

When you are ready to buy home with your sweety make sure you do a couple things before you sign the dotted line.

1) Pay a professional septic installer/repairer "usually they will do it for free up to $200" to inspect the drainfield and
the septic tank of your new home. It can save you from $9000 to $20,000 within 5 years. Go to the Health department Enviromental section ask for an "AS BUILT" its usually free, for the intended property that you want to buy, show it to the professional.

2) Be the one to pick the septic tank pumper and appointment time so you can be there for the information. Out of sight out of mind for most people will cause major future problems with the septic system.

3) Take your time and read all the documents especially the "purchase and sale" agreement seller's disclosures. No matter what you think your property insurance will not cover shotty workmanship or previous ownership. Don't get caught up in the excitment of owning a home and end up with headache.

May your future endeavors and life be filled with jolly, compassion, and lots of laughter.

What Makes A Wedding Coordinator Different Fromﾅ?



Free Wedding Coordination Services

You must ask yourself how these companies stay in business if they aren't charging you for their services! Simple. They are provided with an incentive payment (usually a percentage of the package you purchase) from the vendor that they refer to you. Since the vendor will raise their prices to cover the amount going to the "free service", you could actually end up paying much more in commissions for what is supposed to be a "free" service to the bride. One important note is that a lot of the more reputable vendors will not subscribe to a service like this, so you could really be missing out on a vendor who matches your style and has extensive skill and talent.

Ceremony Site Coordinator

Often hired by the church/ synagogue /wedding site to make sure that their rules are followed -- such as no lights on the video camera, no throwing of rice or birdseed, who can and cannot stand on the alter. Professional wedding coordinators always work with these people to ensure that your ceremony is as individual as you are, while still following the guidelines set up by the church/synagogue/site.

Reception Site Coordinator

This person is usually a salesperson who works in the catering or sales office of the site. Typically, they are NOT trained wedding coordinators. It is their job to make sure that the right linens are on the table and that everything seems to be running smoothly. If you ask for vendor referrals, you will usually get a list of companies who have done weddings at their site before. They do not check references of these companies and may have only worked with them once or twice.

Caterer

Caterers are a wonderful addition to your wedding. They create imaginative menus best suited to your wedding style and budget. However, caterers are not wedding coordinators. Situations have come up where a caterer has told a bride not to waste her money on a wedding coordinator. When the day came, details were not complete and one of the suggested vendors did not show up. They also do not help you with complicated questions on wedding etiquette and they aren't at the church to make sure that all the details are completed.

A True Wedding Coordinator Works for You on Every Level
Let your vendors do what they are best at. Spreading themselves too thin can, in the end, cause you to not get the wedding you hoped for. When you are choosing your wedding coordinator, make sure that you feel comfortable with the services that they are offering you. They should only have your best interests in mind!
The above information should simply reinforce the fact that a Professional Wedding Coordinator has your personal interests at heart, not their own. Invest wisely in your wedding and make sure that you are being taken care of so you can relax and create wonderful memories.

WHY HIRE A WEDDING COORDINATOR?

As couples begin thinking about their wedding, they are often confused over how much to spend, where to obtain specialized services, and how to choose vendors. These worries often mount as quickly as the cost of the wedding. After the euphoria wears off and the reality settles in, it's shocking to discover how much preparation is involved. Couples are faced with decisions about everything from invitation wording to planning their honeymoon. Couples often find they want experienced professional help.

Not long ago, a wedding Coordinator was thought of as a luxury, only used by the wealthy. Now a coordinator is an essential element of a well-planned affair. It is no longer "trendy" to engage someone to handle the details. Being experienced in negotiating contracts with caterers, florists, photographers, and other suppliers, the wedding designer saves you valuable time and money. The designer can take advantage of discounts not available to private parties and avoid costly mistakes, while turning your dreams into reality.

The average wedding can take more than two hundred and fifty hours to plan. With today's hectic lifestyles, you may not have time to compare all the options, making sure you get the best deal, and making sure all the details are in place.

Coordinators are not here to make decisions for you, but to guide and assist you in making informed decisions. Our training, knowledge, and experience will turn your dreams and expectations into reality. We want you to host a beautiful and distinctive event with no worries. Remember you should enjoy your wedding and remember it always as one of the greatest events of your life.

Sharing your special day

Brides, be sure to meet face to face with your videographer/photographer and
discuss your ideas to make your wedding day unfold exactly the way you
desire. Remember that you are sharing this special day with them. If you
are not happy with the way they attend to you when you meet...you probably
will not be pleased with them at the wedding either. Interview them and
make sure they have the type of personality that will enhance your day.
