More Love From Our Brides

Dear Debra,
Thank you for all you and your staff did to make Stephanie's wedding reception so beautiful, relaxing and fun. We couldn't be more pleased with how it all turned out. We've had many compliments on how beautiful and nice it all was. It was nice to just show up and not have anything to worry about. The decorations were beautiful, the grounds and mansion were immaculate, and your staff was very helpful and friendly. Thank you so much for helping our special day stay special to the very end. Your were wonderful to work with and I will certainly recommend the Chantilly Mansion to my friends.

Wedding Day Hair!

Wedding Hair DO's and DON'T

DO consider the entire picture, which includes a style that fits the theme of your wedding and is cohesive with the rest of your look.

DON'T feel you have to emulate everything you see in bridal magazines. If the look of the moment is free-flowing tresses, but you prefer a sleek, tight bun, go with what you like. Your stylist can offer variations, such as escaped tendrils or pins and other accessories to add distinct appeal.

DO highlight your personality. Although you want to look radiant and special on your wedding day, don't wear a hairstyle that isn't 'you' In other words, if you're known for your pixie cut, don't feel the need to grow out your locks just because you'll have more style possibilities. Similarly, don't fight what nature gave you. Embrace your ringlet curls, rather than trying to flatten them out for your wedding. Understandably, you will want to look special on your wedding day, but take care to ensure that you are recognizable when you walk down the aisle.

DON'T compete with your gown. The lines and flow of your gown should be paralleled with the lines of your hairstyle. A simple, sheath gown works well with a tailored upswept chignon, while a princess gown with lots of tulle may work better with long, cascading waves.

DO practice your look prior to your wedding. Set up a rehearsal with your stylist and finalize your style. Take a photo so that he or she will have it for reference. This is your big day, so don't be afraid to voice your opinion and say what works for you and what doesn't. Ultimately, styling decisions are up to you, so don't feel pressured to go the way your stylist suggests.

DON'T leave your wedding day hairdo to chance. The right products can help keep your style looking beautiful throughout the day, with minimal retouching. To give hair a volume boost, texture and shine, consider a volumizing mousse that holds without weighing down hair. For dramatic looks and shine, a wax allows you to create hair artistry. And to tame flyaways and frizz while imparting a lustrous shine to hair, rely smoother.

DO make sure the groom-to-be takes grooming and haircare seriously as well. A haircut and style schedule a few weeks prior to the wedding will ensure his hair is in prime shape for wedding photo opportunities.

Wedding Cakes!

Gone are the days when round three-tiered white cakes were the norm at weddings. Now you see every and any kind of cake imaginable. I have seen everything from topsy turvy fun cakes to elegant 8 tier cakes.

Some couples are skipping wedding cakes altogether and instead going for an
elaborate dessert table full of rich, decadent delights or cupcake towers instead.

So what will you do...stick with a traditional white wedding cake? Whatever you choose to go we can accommodate anything you can think up or if you don't know what you want we have several cakes to choose from!
