The Tao of I Do
Fall 2009 Wedding Guide
A wise man once said: All you need is love. With a ballooning guest list, an overly involved MIL, and a laissez-faire groom, you respectfully disagree.
Take a deep breath. Love, love, love. It’s easy with these simple principles.
Find a Guru
With eleven years of bridal industry know-how, Gown Diva Consulting’s Liz Navarro counsels you on the right dress shape for your body; where to find designers in your price range and style; and helps with ordering, alterations, accessories, and more.
Be Here Now
Make playfulness the day’s theme by hosting your ceremony or reception among treetops at TreeHouse Point. A renovated church-turned-nonprofit arts center, The Fremont Abbey uses all proceeds from events to fund community arts outreach.
Face the Day
Get down to basics with a brow design and signature facial that’ll make you glow from Katrina Rising at Cake. Then keep shine at bay while preserving makeup with luxurious Tatcha Aburatorigami blotting papers.
Exhibit Outer Piece
Incorporating satin ribbons, shell, horn, and leather on gold-plated backings, Monsieur Cocarde’s (monsieur.cocarde@gmail.com) custom brooches, boutonnieres, shoe accessories, and pendants make special keepsakes for your wedding party.
Live in the Moment
Don’t miss a second of your big day with a DVD by Aaron Horton Productions and Barbie Hull Photography’s scenic and specialized snapshots.
Commune with Nature
Patti Bosket’s woodsy and wonderful floral creations cater to the bride’s personal style. The designer also offers ecofriendly seasonal foliage and flowers. And Dahlia Press’s 100 percent cotton, tree-free paper and 100-year-old press lovingly craft elegant invitations.
The Art of Giving
Register at countless stores and sites and get suggestions from experts and price comparisons at Seattle-based Wishpot.com. Then surprise guests with a wedding cake that resembles a work of art from Chocolaz Artisan Cakes.
Appreciate the Little Things
Custom engagement rings and wedding bands from T. Anthony Sholdt use the finest metals and precious stones to commemorate the spirit of your ceremony and unique affection.
Prepare to kiss single life goodbye.
That was Zen; this is Tao.
Keep in mind that when choosing a metal for your wedding band, it’s good to take the time to research all of your options. Not many consumers take the time to do this, and relying on a store to give you 100% accurate information may not be a good thing to do.
I am a BIG fan of platinum. When you compare the weight of platinum to other metals, you can feel a difference. Platinum is a heavier metal that will hold together. When you refinish a piece of platinum jewelry, its mass is hardly affected, as the metal is actually pushed back into place when scuffed. So when you scratch a platinum wedding band, platinum is not actually taken away from the ring – it’s just moved around a bit. Therefore, a platinum wedding band can be repeatedly refinished to almost continually look like new. Not a bad deal at all!
However, I do understand why people buy wedding bands made in titanium and tungsten. They are cool looking metals, and feel interesting as well. But because neither metal can be sized, you should stay away from buffets and ice cream should you buy an alternative metal wedding band.
