Letter from the Editor
When you think about the major milestones in your life your wedding is probably one that is at the top of the list. There are not many days that are as exciting as a wedding day. It’s all about being surrounded with the people that love you and feeling like you and your loved one are the most important people in that moment.
Surprisingly, I wasn’t the little girl who was planning her wedding 20 years in advance. My love for weddings followed my love for beautiful photographs. It’s easy to look at a family portrait and tell that the people in the photos don’t want to be there. That’s never the case in wedding photos. The love that people share at weddings continuously radiates through the photographs.
So, whether you were the five-year-old girl dressing up in her mother’s gown and shoes, or your interest in weddings came later in life you will fit in with Ethereal. We are going to be there every step of the way. We will be there when you choose your dress, your cake, and your photographer. We will be there when it’s 3 a.m. and you’re trying to make DIY centerpieces. We will be there to reminisce with you on your ten-year anniversary.
We are here to make your wedding day as seamless as possible, so that you can enjoy the day with the people you love instead of stressing out over the hors d’oeuvres. We can’t wait to go on this journey with you and we hope that you join us on ours.
Thank you so much for your continued support,

$8,000 Dream WeddingBy Sydney Dore
any brides dream of their wedding from the time they are very young. They imagine the flowers, the cake, the venue, their beautiful white dress, what they do not imagine is the price tag. While the average wedding costs about $26,000, couples are trying to cut costs without cutting quality. With the help of the Party Belles, Amy and Leah from York, PA, the dream of planning a breath taking wedding in under $8,000 is possible.
Dress to ImpressShopping sales racks and salon flash sales may leave bride’s budgets in a bind, but shopping websites may be able to ease the burden. While searching for wedding dresses may not yield the right results, expand the search to white gowns. Use subscription websites such as netaporter.com or theoutnet.com to find discounted designer gowns just as beautiful and romantic as the one in the bridal salon window. What we spent: $600
InvitationsEtsy.com is a great place to find designer stationary on a budget. Brides can find beautiful, rustic, handmade invites that cost only a fraction of what they will be charged at boutique stationary stores. Each stationary set is customized to the needs of the couple and many of the designers have a wide collection that will cater to every color palette and theme. What we spent: $273.75
Flowers
There is nothing quite as beautiful as a bouquet of fresh flowers, but nothing quite as costly. Skip the price tag that comes with a florist, and find the flowers yourself. With the help of your wedding planner or your bridal party, shop flower markets and buy your flowers wholesale. Websites like flowerswholesale.com will give you great deals for your big day without having to spend more. Bouquets: $150
Location: Planners Know BestIf you are using a wedding planner, talk to them about finding a good deal on a venue. Often they have consistent relationships with local vendors and can help you find a good deal. Some of the Party Belles favorite locations include Adam’s County Winery, Pemeberly Farm and the Yortowne Hotel. If you’re not using a wedding planner, shop around and do not be afraid to bargain for the best deal.
Top 3 Planner Tips
1. Size MattersThe smaller the better! When it comes to counting guests for venue and food: less is more. Keeping your wedding intimate allows wiggle room in your budget, and you know you have the most important guests in attendance, the Belles say.
2. Do It YourselfLook at Pinterest for décor ideas and search flea markets to find the perfect pieces to make your wedding beautiful.
3. Enlist your Bridal Party Asking your bridesmaids and family for help makes the process go by faster. Use their craft skills or their expert music taste to take the stress out of the big day.

t’s your 50th anniversary party and your
grandchildren are asking you every
imaginable question about your wedding day.
You no longer have the flowers, the cake,
or the party favors, but you do have your
wedding photo album. Photos are one of the
only ways to fully preserve your wedding day,
and you want to make sure that you can share
that experience with your friends and family
for years to come.
So, what is the difference between a cheap
wedding photographer and an expensive
wedding photographer? An expensive
wedding photographer is one that will guide
you through the process. They usually have
packages that include both an engagement
session and a full day of shooting on your
wedding day. The only downside of an
experienced photographer is the price. You
can expect to spend upwards of $2500 on a
good wedding photographer.
Wedding photographers that are just starting
out or who haven’t had a lot of experience
are likely to charge a lot less, but the quality
of work is likely going to suffer. This
doesn’t mean that you should discount new
photographers though! All photographers
have to start somewhere, and all brides have
different budgets. The question we’ll be
answering is: Are photographers worth the
splurge?
Brianna Wilbur started her photography career
in 2012. At the time, Brianna was working full
time as a nurse, and she was using her passion
for photography to make some extra money
and hone in on her craft. In just three years
Brianna has created a beautiful business out of
her passion. Just this March Brianna left her
full-time nursing position to put everything
into her growing business.
Brianna is a strong proponent of charging
what you are worth whether you’re a
photographer or a plumber. Brianna said she
personally knows a lot of people who didn’t
know what they were getting into when they
hired their wedding photographer. They didn’t
know what quality was, and they didn’t know
what the price they were paying was going
towards.
Many people believe that they’re only paying
their photographer $3,500 to take photos for
eight hours. This isn’t the case. Photographers
spend hours replying to emails, branding
their business, and editing the photographs.
Editing thousands of photographs can take

the cost!"

upwards of 30 hours. Full-time photographers
have to plan out their own salary, account for
their equipment costs or rentals, and travel
expenses.
Brianna suggested researching local
photographers early in the planning process
and asking your married friends what their
experiences were like. Brianna also said that
while wedding photography is often very
expensive it is completely worth it. The
photographs from your wedding day will be
one of the only ways to cherish and remember
the events of the day.
What happens if I take the chance?
Lauren Grove is one woman who regrets
hiring a cheap photographer. Lauren, like
most women, started planning her wedding
using big wedding websites. Unfortunately, she
was let down by the resources these websites
provided her. She didn’t do her homework or
talk to her friends about the experience they
had with their photographer.
Lauren also got so caught up in the price of
the packages that she completely forgot about
the quality of the photos. She said, “ It can be
quite difficult to compare just based on price
because often times photographers’ pricing
structures are different- not to mention that
their experience and quality is going to be
different too! So please, I beg of you- pay
more attention to the quality than to the cost!”
Many women like Lauren simply don’t know
what to look for in a photographer. We
suggest taking the time to simply look up
“wedding photographers in my area.” After
finding some local photographers take a
look at their reviews and find their website
and social media accounts. Compare price,
portfolios, customer reviews, and their
personalities.

Checklist to the perfect photographer:
Photographs are one of the best ways to keep

want to be able to show your album off in a
beautiful way at your 50th anniversary party.
