Your Guide to Bridal Professionals in the South Bay

southbay

bridal

Congratulations to all the new brides-to-be! What an exciting and busy time you have ahead

of you. So many decisions to make – what type of wedding to have, what venue to choose,

who to invite-the list is long. We at South Bay Bridal have helped by providing a guide to

local vendors to help make those decisions easier. Looking for a florist – check out the great

vendors we have throughout the South Bay – looking for an event facility that holds 500

guests – check out our quick guide to venues.

Brides-To-Be everywhere are looking for what’s “hot” for today’s wedding. According to

the 2013 Wedding Report food trucks are immensely popular for wedding receptions and

for the after party. Slider or ice cream trucks keep guests happy as they dance the night

away - long after dinner has been served! Check out our center spread – Meal’s Gone

Mobile – for some great tips on how to choose the “right” truck for your event.

Searching for another way to meet vendors and find some great ideas for your wedding?

URLocalBride has partnered with three outstanding venues to bring you some unique and

different Bridal Fairs. In the East Bay the beautiful and stately Lafayette Park Hotel will

be the scene on March 3rd for an Afternoon of Wedding Planning. Come join us to sip

champagne, meet and talk with local vendors and get some great ideas for your wedding.

On the SF/Peninsula visit with vendors on February 24th at the Fox Theatre in Redwood

City and on Friday, March 15th the Silicon Valley brides will be out at the fabulous Club

Auto Sport in San Jose for an Evening of Wedding Planning. Check out our website –

URLocalBride.com – for tickets and additional information.

Keep your copy of South Bay Bridal handy. Use it often to help make your planning

easier. Visit our website frequently for tips and contests and come see us at one or all three

of our bridal fairs - and remember, always, to Find Your Inspiration …… Locally!

bridal

Women who tackle wedding planning pragmatically — as if it were a work-related project — tend to survive the process with greater ease.

Think of yourself as a project manager. Establish an overall framework for completing the work, and set specific intermediate deadlines, schedules and goals. Taken one small step at a time, the detail-laden job becomes less overwhelming.

Here is our suggested timetable for the steps you should take in the months, weeks and days leading up to your wedding.

9-12 months before your wedding• Choose your wedding date. If you plan to be married in a church, temple or mosque or in a religious service at home, clear the date and time with your clergy.• Announce your engagement in local newspapers.• Set your budget. Take time for a heart-to-heart talk with your fiancé about the budget and style of your wedding, reception and wedding-related parties, and who pays for what.• Enlist help. Consider hiring a bridal consultant. If your budget won’t stretch that far, ask relatives and close friends to assist you in specific tasks – selecting a dress, interviewing caterers, locating a reception site – especially in areas where you feel you need support.• Compose your guest list. Let out-of-town guests know your wedding is in the works so they can make travel plans.• Reserve your reception site.• Choose your wedding attendants.• Select your wedding gown, shoes and accessories.• Decide on bridesmaids’ dresses.• Determine the theme or mood you’d like to establish with the food, table settings, flowers and entertainment at your reception.• Interview caterers, musicians, florists, photographers, videographers and bakers. Get written estimates of their costs. Keep track of your discussions and their bids in a notebook or with wedding-planning software.

6 months before your wedding• Choose your caterer. Remember to get a written contract.

• Choose your musician(s).• Send out Save-the-Dates• Book your photographer and/or videographer.• Select your baker and order the cake.• Choose your florist.• Decide on your color scheme.• Shop for wedding rings with your fiancé.• Decide on your honeymoon destination. Work with a travel agent to

book your travel and accommodations.• Select your wedding invitations. Don’t forget to purchase personal stationery for the thank-you notes you’ll need to write.

4 months before your wedding• Register for gifts at one or more bridal- gift registries.• Help both mothers to

coordinate and shop for their wedding-day attire.• Select music for your ceremony and reception.• Choose readings for your wedding and write your wedding vows.• Plan a rehearsal dinner for members of your wedding party, your family and out-of-town guests. Reserve the location.• Arrange hotel accommodations for members of the wedding party who live out of town. Reserve a block of rooms for other out-of-town guests, and let them know the rooms are available. Remember to ask for any group discounts or special packages.• Reserve your wedding-day transportation and any other wedding-day rental needs.• Make appointments for gown fittings.• Check the requirements for a marriage license.• Make sure contracts and arrangements are complete with all of your service providers. (Continued)

Page 7: South Bay Bridal S/S 2013

3 months before your wedding• Carefully prepare directions, including simply drawn maps, if necessary, to help guide guests to the wedding and reception, and to hotels. For guests who will travel a long distance to your wedding, consider assembling an information package on fun things to do and see in your area.• Begin addressing invitations and announcements. Select a special stamp at the post office. Invitations should go in the mail six to eight weeks before your big day.• Give the caterer or other food suppliers a close idea of the number of guests you expect.• Make sure all reservations are in place for honeymoon travel.• Check with bridesmaids to make sure they have their gowns and are getting them adjusted.• Shop for gifts for your bridesmaids. Offer to help your fiancé select gifts for his attendants.• Select your “going away” outfit and special items for your trousseau.• Make a date with your photographer for any formal portraits you desire.• Make an appointment to have your hair done just before your portrait session and again the day or so before your wedding. Consider including your bridesmaids in a “day of beauty” before your wedding, with manicures, hair styling, massages and makeup sessions.

2 months before your wedding• Mail out your wedding invitations and announcements.• Have wedding portraits taken.• Send bridal portrait and wedding announcement to newspapers for publication.• Finalize the music that will be played during your wedding ceremony.• Meet with musicians who will provide entertainment during your reception and orchestrate precisely what you want and when you want it played.• Don’t be shy to voice your preferences, down to the volume, favorite songs you’d like to hear or even songs you don’t want played.• Plan your rehearsal dinner and a brunch or fun activity for out-of-town guests to enjoy on the day following your wedding.• Purchase special accessories for your wedding-day attire.• Plan a luncheon for your bridesmaids.• Make appointments for a hairdresser, makeup artist and manicurist.• Finalize honeymoon plans. If you’re traveling overseas, check again that your passports are current and that you have any necessary visas.• Gather necessary birth or baptismal certificates you may need for your wedding license.

1 month before your wedding• Get your wedding license.• Have a final fitting of your gown and make sure your attendants have theirs.• Check that your menu selections and service plans are locked in place with the caterer.• Purchase a special book to keep track of wedding gifts as they arrive.• Keep writing those thank-you notes on a daily basis!• If you plan a formal dinner for your reception, it’s time

to draw up a seating plan and make up place cards.• Check with your florist to confirm dates and times of flower deliveries.• Review your wedding-day transportation plans and make sure drivers are clear about addresses, times and number of passengers.• Make name or address changes official on documents, including driver’s license, Social Security forms and financial accounts. Fill out change-of-address forms at the post office.• Meet with your photographer to specify the formal shots you want taken of the bridal party, as well as specific, candid shots you’d like taken during the reception.• Review the video plans with your videographer.

2 weeks before your wedding• Keep writing those thank-you notes for wedding gifts!• Pick up your wedding rings. Make sure any special engraving appears precisely as you wished.• Begin packing for honemoon.

1 week before your wedding• Make final checks with all your vendors: officiant, musicians, florist, photographer, videographer, limousine or other transportation provider, caterers and baker.• Ask a friend or family member to arrange for wedding gifts that may be brought to your reception to be delivered to your home or another safe spot.• Wrap gifts for bridal attendants and have them ready for the rehearsal dinner.• Reconfirm honeymoon travel and hotel plans.• See that checks are written and ready to be handed out to vendors at the agreed-upon time.• Inform your caterer of the final number of guests. Confirm that out-of-town guests are set with hotel accommodations, transportation and wedding-day directions.

The day before your wedding• Take time to relax and enjoy a massage, manicure and pedicure.• Traditionally, this is the day for your rehearsal ceremony and rehearsal dinner. Have fun!• Turn in early for a good night’s sleep.

Your Wedding Day• Allow plenty of time for dressing, makeup and hair styling.• If you plan on photography before the ceremony, allow ample time so you’re not rushed.• Relax, and remember: This is your special day, the result of all your careful planning. Now it’s time to enjoy. Take a deep breath. Refuse to let any glitch get to you. Savor every moment of this sacred day. Let your joy and happiness shine through. Best wishes!

Once engaged, the countdown starts to your amazing day. You’ve taken the time

to select the perfect location, the most beautiful flowers, and the best photographer. Don’t forget the most important detail – you! Your skin, hair and makeup will forever be immortalized in the pictures of your perfect day.

Take care of your bridal party, too. It is a good idea to provide yourself and your bridal party with a printed timeline for skin, hair, makeup and teeth whitening services. Pampering your skin in the months prior to your wedding day with a tailored skin regimen will ensure you have flawless skin perfect for those close-ups!

You should plan on individually meeting with a representative of the spas, salon and makeup artists to gain an understanding of their capabilities. Ideally, select a facility that can service all of your needs like the size of your party, the amount and type of services, and have the correct skill set. It is imperative to choose a salon that offers the ability to perform a trial hair and make-up session in order to accurately judge that you connect with the stylists’ creativity, skill and style before you commit your entire party.

tCountdown to a Kiss

When you’re done planning, take time out for a massage and de-stress so that you can really glow for your special day!

Hungry couples looking for an innovative twist on wedding grub needn’t look further than their own busy street corner.

The growing popularity of food trucks have hooked a nation, spawning a reality TV series on Food Network and a still-booming Twitter craze. And now, they’re taking the wedding world by storm, with food-truck catering quickly becoming a fun way of doing something different.

“Hiring a food truck for a late night snack during a wedding sets a much more casual, relaxed tone than a catered event and offers guests a unique dining experience that they’re not likely to have at amost weddings,” says Kate McEachern, Chief Cupcake Officer of Cupkates (CupkatesBakery.com). San Francisco’s first mobile cupcake truck. Couples considering a food truck should first of all make sure it fits the style of their wed-ding. The atypical nature of food truck catering – guests will essentially be eating street food out of the side of a parked van – means less of a folded-napkins-and-silverware environment,

and something more laid back.

Since food trucks usually target a unique food audience, owners suggest sticking to safer fare for a bigger guest list. “I recommend large parties go with items that are traditional crowd pleasers, such as … ribeye, barbecue pork and caprese,” says Nida Rodriguez, owner of the Slide Ride, a gourmet slider food truck.

But smaller parties with more daring taste-testers will likely enjoy the thrill of the bizarre niche foods some trucks offer. The Fast Foodie is known for its “Globacos,” warm flour tortillas filled with different global cuisines. According to Lucca, the most popular wedding menu Globacos are Jamaican Me Crazy, a Ja-maican beef curry with rice, and the Big Sexy, Puerto Rican rice with pigeon peas, marinated pork and fried plantains.

For couples going the traditional dinner route who still want the fun of an on-site food truck, try using it for other elements of the wedding. Food trucks can be used for the appetizer portion, the late-night catering as guests leave the party or in-between the ceremony and reception to feed hungry guests.

Aside from adding a unique flair to a wedding, food-truck catering is a great way to keep a food budget in check.

According to the Bridal Association of America, the average catering bill for a wedding with 150 guests is $12,247. That’s about $82 per person. The Fast Foodie truck, as an example, typically charges $25 per person, depending on the menu. Rodriguez says she charges $3/$4 per slider, and a $150 truck fee. Just remember that not all food trucks are created equal. Size and equipment can limit what can and cannot be done.

“The biggest thing I would say to anyone wanting to use a food truck is to find out how flexible each is with what they will make,” says Valent Lucca. “Some trucks will only service what is on their menu. Some will make whatever the couple wants.” She also points out that trucks are unable to acquire liquor licenses, so none of them serve alcohol.

It’s possible to bring food truck service indoors, although the logistics are slightly different, and it may increase the price. Valent Lucca, who has catered indoor weddings with her truck, says that added staff is the biggest difference between indoor and outdoor catering. A bigger staff will be needed to transport the food from outside to the venue.

“If the person needs servers and a more formal meal, usually a traditional caterer would fit their needs better,” she says.

“A wedding is not more difficult than our normal course of business,” adds Rodriguez. “We are a full-catering service – we can and will bring the party indoors if requested.”

Marriage Licenses By Lindsay GowerGetting the LicenseBoth bride and groom must go, in person together, to a County Clerk’s office. In California, you can go to the Clerk’s Office in any county; it does not need to be the county in which you are having the wedding. Neither of you needs to be a California resident to apply for a California marriage license. No blood test or medical exam is required and there is no waiting period: You apply, pay, and receive the license then and there.

You both must: • Be at least 18 years old. If you’re younger, you need consent of parent or guardian. • Bring a government- issued valid picture ID (such as a driver’s license) that includes your full legal name and date of birth. • If you have been married before, bring Proof of Dissolution. You cannot apply for a marriage license if you are married. What to Do With the License You receive an unsigned license. Here’s what happens to make it an official wedding certificate: • The license is good anywhere in California, regardless of which county issued it. It’s valid for 90 days. If 90 days pass before a wedding ceremony, you must get a new license. • Before the wedding, give the license to the person who’ll officiate at the ceremony. The officiant is required to review the license before conducting the ceremony. It’s a good idea to bring it to the rehearsal for go over it with the officiant, and of course bring it to the wedding. • After the ceremony, the officiant will complete and sign the license, and have it signed by bride, groom and at least one witness. • The officiant will return the license to the County Clerk’s office within 10 days of the ceremony, so it can be officially recorded. Once recorded, you can buy a copy of your wedding certificate (depending on the county, you don’t receive one automatically). Where to Apply on the PeninsulaYou can apply at the County Clerk’s office any weekday (except holidays). In San Mateo and Santa Clara, you do not need an appointment. There county offices open at 8:00am and close at 4:30pm, so arrive before 4:00 to have time to complete the paperwork. In San Francisco county, you must first make an appointment to get your license.
