Northern Michigan Weddings

Northern Michigan Weddings: Bay Harbor Village Hotel helped transform Rich and Tonya's wedding into a weekend extravaganza

Jan 18, 2013 Lindsey Perry

Northern Michigan Weddings: The casual vibe of a summer Up North combined with the sophistication of Bay Harbor Village Hotel inspired a beachy elegance at Rich Lockwood and Tonya Wardena’s August wedding. The couple discovered the venue while enjoying Northern Michigan’s Biketember Fest. It was love at first sight when they pedaled into Bay Harbor, a harbor town nestled on Lake Michigan’s grass and sand beach shores. “As soon as we saw that beach-lake setting, we thought, This is where we want our wedding!” Tonya says. 

Bay Harbor Village Hotel helped transform Rich and Tonya’s wedding into a weekend extravaganza. Family and friends traveled from as far as Sri Lanka and California for the Thursday pig roast rehearsal dinner on the beach, Friday cocktail party, and Saturday wedding. “The three days gave us a chance to talk to everyone,” agreed Rich and Tonya. “And people love Northern Michigan, so it was a vacation for them, too.”

Pre-ceremony wedding photos captured the day’s theme with shots of the wedding party strolling Bay Harbor’s shores, sailboats bobbing in the marina background. At the wedding, bridesmaids walked the sandy aisle barefoot, and the bride followed to the mellow chords of acoustic guitarist Sean Bielby strumming The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun.” Rich and Tonya exchanged vows beneath a birch arbor at the water’s edge.

Beach-inspired accents and colors that mirrored Bay Harbor’s landscape were splashed throughout the tented, outdoor reception. Apple green napkins and seat cushions added vibrancy to navy blue tablecloths, which were topped with birchwood vases holding manzanita branches decorated by the bride with green sola flowers and spider mums. The tent’s center poles were hidden inside tree sculptures made of wood, and LED-lit branches adorned with hanging votives cast an elegant glow as the sun set. 

Guests dined on spreads prepared by the Bay Harbor specialty food and catering shop Galley Gourmet(food and service the bride described as “phenomenal”) as cocktail hour rolled into dinner, and the reception kicked off with music from the Mac Daddy Band. After Rich and Tonya’s first dance to The Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love,” Tonya changed into an apple green bridal ghagra, the traditional Sri Lankan wedding reception dress, and the wedding became even more beach casual as Rich upheld his motto, “No ties after sunset.”

The beach wedding

Her mother received an e-mail 11 days ago stating that the daughter was coming down to Mexico for a visit.

The next day another e-mail arrived, “ … and my boyfriend and I plan to get married on the beach.”

After the shock wore off, Ricci, said “why not?” And she started to make plans.

Most of guest list would never have known her daughter, but they were part of the beach family, and all would need to be invited.

One thing about the beach family was you could count on help when it was needed. In this case there would need to be a cake, the best man and lady in waiting, a preacher, flowers, a bridal arch and a reception.

There was no time to send out invitations, so Ricci, took a day or two going to each of the beach communities and inviting everyone she knew. Then she encouraged them to invite their friends.

The invitation list must have been over 100 before she was done.

Beach parties follow a usual format. Everyone knows to bring an appetizer and something to drink . There would be additional food provided by the hostess. For this large a crowd, most people would bring their own chairs.

To add to the stress of the situation, the Baja had been hit with a week of cold windy days. While this was not unusual, it lasted longer and was colder than usual. Having the wedding on the beach on several of those days would have been a disaster.

Still the plans went on. One of her good friends, who was in charge of the floral display, went out in search of flowers and what she decided on was red and white bougainvillea backed by palm leaves. The effect would be stunning.

The day before the wedding the wind stopped as if under the command of the bride’s mother. The sun came out and the kayakers once more were out paddling around the islands.

Even the bride and groom arrived on their designated flight and the flight was on time (unheard of in this economy, when the airlines make a habit of not flying if their plane isn’t full.)

The day of the wedding, the guests gathered on the beach at 2 p.m. and most were in short pants, however, some of the ladies showed up in formal wear. It was a beautiful scene and the mother of the bride was radiant.

But the father of the bride was nowhere in sight.

Then someone in the crowd shouted, “there she comes,” and everyone looked to the sea. A small aluminum boat was rounding the corner of the bay and heading toward shore. A speck of white was at the bow, and the proud father was at the tiller.

Now came the challenge. How was the father going to get the bride off the boat … Carry her? No need, as the two came to shore, he lifted the motor at just the right moment and drove the boat up onto the beach.

He hopped out in his short pants and bare feet and lifted the bride onto the beach. Everyone applauded and the wedding march was on.

Everything went on clue for the rest of the ceremony. Even the preacher had a shortened version of the wedding vows, but they said everything that needed to be said. The two would love and care for each other for the rest of their lives.

Then it was over as quickly as it had begun. The champagne corks were popped and the food rolled out. The wedding cake was a Tres Leche cake, very famous from Mexican lore.

The beach wedding could not have been better and that’s the way it happens down here in Mexico.

New Trends for Modern Weddings

Modern day wedding couples have adopted some trends breaking some traditional wedding customs reports CMMS Studio. From “First looks” to “Trashing the dress”, photography studios must adjust for the changes in tradition.

Loris, South Carolina (PRWEB) January 30, 2013

Myrtle Beach is a beautiful location for a Beach Wedding. With clean and expansive beaches, mild weather and of course a magnificent ocean, romance amidst a beautiful setting brings many couples to this area.
Couples exchange vows on the beach or fully gowned brides jump into the ocean… wait, jump into the ocean?

CMMS Studio being at the forefront of Beach Wedding photography since 2006 has seen wedding traditions change with the times. During this time, they have been privileged to capture some very unique images. They have offered their creativity to brides who have chosen to change traditions such as preserving their wedding dress a thing of the past.

Some of today’s brides follow a new trend called “Trash the Dress” which is done as an additional shoot after the wedding, almost as a declaration that the wedding is done and the dress will not be used again.

Trash the dress, also known as “fearless bridal” or “rock the frock”, is a style of wedding photography that contrasts elegant Bridal Dresses with an environment in which it is out of place. Generally shot in the style of fashion and glamour photography "Trash the dress" is seen as the art of deconstruction of a bride's wedding dress to create "artwork". This new "masterpiece" is formed in the creative destruction of the dress that the bride would be proud to display.

In Myrtle Beach, CMMS Studio has found that brides usually prefer to “Rock the Frock” on a beach, but other locations include city streets, rooftops, garbage dumps, fields, and abandoned buildings. Brides are increasingly expecting more from wedding photographers, and trash the dress is an example of these expectations.

Another age long tradition that has been replaced is that of grooms not viewing the bride prior to the wedding. A growing trend called “First Look” photography has become very popular among modern couples that are not as bothered with potential “bad luck”.

For a “first look” session, the Bride and Groom set aside a special time that is unrushed which allows for the Photographer to capture their first glimpse of each other prior to the ceremony. This is a private and emotional moment for the couple not shared with any family or guests. CMMS Studio had the unique opportunity to capture a “First Look” for a couple of gals known as the “Haymore Twins”.

On the beautiful grounds of the Grand Dunes Ocean Front Resort in Myrtle Beach, the Haymore Twins planned to share a private moment, each with her better half, prior to the ceremony. Ms. Brenda Lerner of CMMS Studio described the experience as “Tender and Emotional” as each bride met with her respective groom. The experience was taken a step further when the brides decided to share a special moment with their father and brother as well.

Modern wedding photographers must not only keep up with changing technology, they must also follow the new trends and traditions to stay competitive in the wedding photography world.

6 Most Romantic Beaches for Your Wedding in USA

1. Ogunquit, Maine

If its meaning is any indication, Ogunquit (which translates to "beautiful place by the sea") is a picture-perfect location for a wedding. Artists discovered the area over a century ago and helped to transform it into what it is today: a town that offers everything, from seaside relaxation to intimate museums, art galleries, and hikes in the mountains of Maine. Hold your ceremony along the one-and-a-quarter-mile stretch of beach known as Marginal Way, followed by a clambake cocktail hour and a feast of famous Maine lobster for dinner.

2. Crane Beach, Massachusetts 

Crane Beach is noted as one of the most picturesque swimming beaches in all of New England, making it a stunning spot for your vows too. Located in Ipswich, it stretches over four miles of white sand, and serves as a natural barrier that protects the Essex River Estuary. It's a great spot for environment and animal lovers, as it is adjacent to the Crane Wildlife Refuge and provides an important habitat for many animals, plants, and fish.

3. Watch Hill, Rhode Island

Located between New York and Boston, Watch Hill is situated on a peninsula almost completely surrounded by ocean, affording Rhode Island's best sunset views. The town's name is derived from its French and Revolutionary War days, when it served as a strategic lookout point. Centuries of history are evident at every turn, and perhaps the most charming spot for photographs is The Flying Horses Carousel, touted as the oldest operating carousel in the country.

4. Cooper's Beach, New York

In 1640, English colonists moved to the area now known as Southampton, making it one of the oldest settlements in New York. It's no secret that the beaches are gorgeous and the location posh. But for every chic detail Southampton and its beaches has to offer, it's got the history and culture to match. Cooper's Beach is located in Southampton Village, and, in addition to being one of the area's most popular stretches of sand, is also dotted with historic mansions along its shores.

5. Avalon, New Jersey

Avalon projects a mile further into the Atlantic Ocean than any other neighboring island on the state's southern coast. Its peaceful atmosphere and seven miles of clean, inviting beaches make it a local favorite, meaning you're sure to love it too. Avalon is also known for its high dunes that preserve the beach, keeping it safe from erosion. They'll serve a dual purpose for your wedding, though: In addition to keeping the beach intact, the natural foliage and indigenous plants will make a perfect backdrop for your pictures.

6. Ocracoke Island, North Carolina

For the private yet laid-back couple, this island, located at the southernmost tip of the Outer Banks, boasts the perfect beaches. Only 800 residents live here year-round, and the 16 miles of unspoiled, undeveloped beaches are accessible only by ferry, private boat, or plane. For the best in historic backdrops, check out the island's white lighthouse, built in 1823. It's one of the oldest active lighthouses in the United States, and it serves as the most recognizable symbol of the island community.

How to Hold a Beach Wedding

Beach weddings are one the most romantic and popular ways to say "I do." The natural beauty of the setting is impossible to match indoors and everyone will remember the amazing day that they had with you and your new spouse at the beach. Many people elect to spend several days at the beach before the wedding enjoying the company of their families and close friends before the big day. In this article, we will discuss how to have a beach wedding

Instructions

1. How to Have a Beach Wedding

   • 1
     Select the beach where you wish to have your wedding. Be sure to factor in the time of year, season and other local events into your decision. For example, should you decide to get married at Daytona Beach you will need to avoid Bike Week in order to prevent your vows from being drowned out by the roar of thousands of motorcycles. Also, if you have your wedding in the tourist "off season" you can take advantage of low rates on accommodations and other services because there will not be as high a demand.
   • 2
     Establish a contact person at the hotel nearest to the beach where you wish to have your wedding. This person will help you coordinate the event and reserve enough rooms for your guests. They also can recommend vendors to help you with the wedding cake, music and photography. This person generally will serve as your liaison to the catering department at the hotel.
   • 3
     
     

     

     
     

     Spend at least one night at the beach where you want to have your wedding. This will help you be sure that you have picked the proper place. Walk on the beach around the time that you want to get married and check out the area to make sure that the hotel is the type of place that you trust to host your wedding and reception tastefully. If you find you do not like the area, atmosphere or clientele, consider a change in venue. You want you wedding day to be perfect!
   • 4
     Make sure that the area where you wish to have your wedding can be reserved. If it cannot, you will need to select another venue. You do not want people walking through the middle of your wedding because the beach is public.
   • 5
     Set a date with the help of the hotel contact person.When planning a beach wedding, this must be done at least six months in advance if possible. Otherwise, even if your venue is available you may end up being hurried out of the area to make room for the next scheduled event. By planning far in advance, you can usually talk the hotel into reserving the beach area for at least half a day.
   • 6
     
     

     

     
     

     Interview potential musicians, photographers and bakers. It is best to use local talent since these people will work better if they are familiar with the venue and the area. Make sure to ask for references, examples of their work and cost estimates. Most will be willing to negotiate on prices -- -particularly if you are very clear about what you want and if you have your event when the area is not busy with other tourists.
   • 7
     Sign contracts with your favorite vendors. This locks them into working with you on a given weekend and gives you the security of knowing that you can check one more thing off your list. At this point, the hard work is done. Now you can move on to the things that are required at any wedding, like showers, dresses and parties!

How to Choose Jewelry for Your Wedding

Wedding dress is the most important part of a wedding, so are the wedding jewelry. Choosing bridal jewelry is not easier than choosing the wedding dress. Do not just wear the jewelry you wear everyday because they should be special enough to match you big day. The pieces for wedding should perfectly complement your wedding dress to make you look complete and elegant. What jewelry you wear on wedding matters. Be careful about choosing your wedding jewelry.

Here are a few tips that would help you to choose wedding jewelry.

• The first thing to decide upon is the wedding ring because this is something that you will be wearing all the time after your wedding. Most of the people wish to have a diamond wedding ring. If it is the same with you, consider a few things before buying the ring such as the cut, the color, the clarity, the carat and the weight of the diamond.
• Next comes the necklace. The type of necklace you choose depends completely on the dress. If you are wearing a halter neck, or if the bodice is highly decorated with pearls and sequins, there is no need to buy a necklace. However if you are opting for a plain sophisticated wedding gown, then a string of pearl or a diamond necklace can make you look elegant.
• Decide if you need a bracelet for your wedding. If you are wearing a long sleeve wedding gown or wearing embellished gloves then a bracelet is not required. But if your gown is short sleeves or strapless then a simple diamond bracelet can make you look charming.
• Ear rings are also another consideration to make. If the bodice of your wedding gown is simple, you can choose earrings that dangle. On the other hand if you are wearing a dress with embellished bodice, a stud ear ring would be your perfect choice.

Keep these things in mind while shopping for jewelry and you are sure to look gorgeous on that special day.

   • Take photos of the dress before you customize it and during the process so you don’t forget what it looks like.

About a Bridesmaid Dress

In most of the cases, the duty of selection of bridesmaid dresses falls on the shoulders of the bride and some of these brides get suggestions from the bridesmaid before purchasing the dress for them and some of them purchase the dress on their own. Selection of this dress can be done in the early stages of the wedding preparation process and brides can shop around the town for finding the best deal for this dress.

When it comes to the selection of the appropriate dress for the bridesmaid, the different options available should be given consideration. Some of these options include sleeves, silhouettes, necklines, color, length and fabric. Some of the most common fabrics for the dress include silk, faille, duchess satin, crinkle chiffon, so on. It is better to select a dress that complements well with the dress of the bride and it should also be comfortable for the bridesmaid. The three fundamental lengths for the dresses include cocktail-length, tea-length and floor-length. It is better to go for a length that fits well with the wedding style. When it comes to cocktail-length dresses, it would be highly suitable for a beach wedding and Floor-length dresses would be suitable for evening weddings. The color of the dress should go well with the decoration of the wedding and when it comes to selection of colors, it is better to consider the time of the year in which the wedding is taking place.

When it comes to selection of neckline, it would be better to select a cut that perfectly matches the bridesmaid and if the dress is strap-less, selection of appropriate sleeves should be done. Poet sleeves and cap sleeves are the two popular sleeves. Generally, brides decide the length, fabric and color of the bridesmaid dresses and it would be wise for the brides to consult with the bridesmaid to determine their level of comfort, budget and style. Some brides select just the color of dresses for bridesmaids and leave the style according to their interest and since this trend is becoming popular, it is the responsibility of the bridesmaid to select a dress that perfectly complements the dress of the bride.

Brides can select for dresses for bridesmaid at the comfort of their home even when she is spending her time with the bridesmaids since there are many websites offering the service of on-line sales of these dresses. Since the bride selects the dresses for the bridesmaids in front of their eyes, their satisfaction can also be ensured by the bride.

How to Choose a Bridesmaid Dress

If you are given the honor of being a bridesmaid and witness someone's wedding,  you should be very nice. You will remember the experience for the rest of your life; you are going to be standing next to the bride carrying her flower basket and taking care of all her needs. Certainly you are going to be there in most of the pictures, so the way you look and dress on the day will matter a lot. Selecting the perfect bridesmaid outfit will be a wise thing to do. Wearing the perfect dress, make-up and smile will do the best.

A bridesmaid outfit should be selected very carefully. It is as important as the bride's wedding dress. It should not be too flashy or too simple. If you want it to be simple in order to compliment the bride's wedding dress, the accessories clubbed with the dress should enhance the look of the dress. A bridesmaids wear can be either of the same color as the bride's dress or of the different color, but it should complement the bride's dress. A bridesmaid is supposed to enhance the whole occasion by her charm, and this can be very well done with a perfect bridesmaid dress. If your bridesmaid dresses are not up to the mark, it will spoil the whole effect of the evening.

Not every bridesmaid is going to have a perfect figure or a same physique as the others. Every bridesmaid will have a different body type. A dress might look good on one but at the same time it might look like a blunder on the other. So selecting a dress perfect for every bridesmaid at the wedding is a must. The other most important factor is the fabric. The fabric should be such that every bridesmaid should be comfortable wearing it. Some bridesmaids might not be comfortable wearing a fabric that is body hugging, so it is extremely important to select the fabric that each bridesmaid will be comfortable and happy with. There is a variety of fabrics available in the market including chiffon, crepe, satin, Georgette and a lot more. The fabric should be such that the bridesmaids should be able to carry it off well.

The length of a bridesmaid dress also matters a lot. In case of a young bridesmaid, carrying a floor length dress might be an issue. So the length of the dress should also be considered. Similarly selecting jewelry for a bridesmaid dress is also very important. If your dress is a simple one you can go for a pearl set that will look classy or you can go for danglers to dramatize the look. You can find a lot of online stores that offer cheap bridesmaid dresses and jewelry to go with the dresses. Such sites are friendlier to your pocket without compromising on the style you want.

How to Clean Your Wedding Dress

There are four ways to clean the wedding dress and its accessories - dry cleaning, hand washing, machine washing and spot therapy. You need to pick the right method to clean the wedding gown according to its fabrics and accessories.


1 Dry Cleaning

Dry cleaning could be the most preferred solution to wash a complicated dress just like a wedding gown. And often you could possibly discover a "Dry Clean Only" tag about the care label. Especially once the gown is created by fabrics for instance Carmeuse, silk, crepe, taffeta, silk Shantung lace, lame, brocade, silky crepe, georgette, and so on. Within this case, the safest way is taking your dress to a professional dry cleaner. Make certain that your dress is cleaned alone to avoid color mix or snags from the sharp beads. If there is certainly no "Dry Clean Only" mark, you should check if the dress carries any embellishments unsuitable for dry cleaning. One example is the colored beads are simple to be discolored by dry cleaning, too as sequin and palette.

2 Hand washing

if dry cleaning is not the only advised method to wash your wedding gown, washing by yourself is really a great selection for saving money and having entertaining maybe. Prior to washing the wedding dress, check when the fabric is usually hand washed without having causing any harm. Some fabrics could be only washed gently and very carefully to avoid shrunk or deformation, for instance velvet, stretch jersey knit, organza, stretch mesh, linen, and so on. Meanwhile, detach the embellishments that cannot be hand washed before cleaning. After the cleaning, usually do not squeeze or twist it to deform or rumple the form of the dress. Just spread it out flatly and then leave it dry naturally. Keep away from the strong sunshine as the luster on the fabric could possibly be decreased or changed.

3 Machine Washing
As usual, machine washing is just not suggested for a wedding dress, especially the full automatic way. The embellishments on the dress might scratch the gown fabric and the color fades under the high-speed running from the rotating cylinder in the washing machine. Should you insist on washing your dress from the machine, be sure each of the steps is under control. Take down each of the accessories that may well harm your dress, turn thoroughly and slow down the wash speed when washing. Do not dry the dress by the machine. Simply take it out and dry it because the same way to the hand washes.

4 Spot Treatment
Spot therapy is common in washing the ornaments to the dress. Typically, there are many decorations within the wedding gown, for example a bow, sashes, laces, beads, embroideries, rhinestones, glitters, appliqué, jewels, feather and so on. Most of them should really be spot cleaned. Furthermore, embroideries, glitters, and appliqué are only able to be spot treated but not washed.

What About a Wedding Dress with Sleeves?

Wedding dresses with sleeves is perfectly suitable if your wedding is in winter. It could help to more attention to the bodice and also provides a balance to the skirt. The length of the sleeve depends on how much skin the bride is willing to show. A wedding dress with long sleeves is chosen by brides who would like to be modest on their big day.

This dress is an international fashion style that is soft and sweetened by the silhouette of ethnic interest and sequin detail to be a new alternative for brides who want a modern ethnic look, elegant, and luxurious. Sleeved dresses have more impact than you may first realize. They can add interest to a bodice and provide balance for a skirt. Once closely linked to season, the selection of sleeved wedding dress style is now largely a matter of how much - or how little - skin the wearer is willing (or allowed!) to show. Both options can be equally dramatic. Long-sleeved wedding dresses designed for maximum flair include the Juliet: a long, fitted sleeve with a short puff at the shoulder; and the bell, a sleeve narrow at the armhole and then wide at the wrist.

On the other spectrum are alluring super-spare styles such as the petal and the cap sleeved dresses, both of which offer just enough material to cover the shoulder. Sleeves of sleeved dresses don't have to be made from the same fabric as the gown, often they are made of tulle, lace, or illusion netting, which create a 'barely there' effect even when the sleeves are long.

For short-sleeved dress, gloves can be used to further sweeten the appearance of the bride on her wedding day. A little advice for the long-sleeved dress, you should not have to wear gloves because it will impress the bride looks crowded.

Ever since Vera Wang included detachable sleeves that you can untie from the gown's bodice, sleeved dresses have been an option in bridal stores all over the world. Besides keeping you warm for winter weddings, the right sleeves can also serve as a fashion statement, as a decorative feature, or as a balancing tool to keep the rest of your wedding dress in proportion. The lace sleeved wedding dress in John Alexander, for instance, complements the floral appliques on the hem of the ball gown skirt. The puffed sleeves of dress of Christos wedding dress adds youth and charm to the overall look. Puffy sleeved wedding dress is the best choice for brides in petite shape.

The key to looking good in a sleeved dress is to consider the silhouette of the sleeves themselves and how they would enhance the shape and design of the dress itself. If you're planning a wedding for the spring or summer, look for a wedding dress with detachable sleeves or ask your couturier if he or she can do this for you. You can also custom made a sleeved wedding dress according to the silhouette of your dreamed dress.
