Bestowing a small favor to wedding guests is a time-hon-ored tradition for brides and grooms.

The small gift is a token of appreciation to thank guests for attending and being a part of their day and the beginning of their life together as a couple.

With the popularity of Pinterest and wedding blogs, and the ease of Internet shopping, couples are finding just the right party favor. And favors are being elevated well be-yond the standards of matchbooks, votive candles and tiny bags of Jordon almonds. Favors are capturing the personalities and interests of the couple as well as send-ing people home with memories of the special occasion.

“The push is to be more personal and not only thank peo-ple for coming but give them a memento, something that feels like the couple themselves so that the people that

A unique idea for a wedding favor was this personalized coffee sleeve with the couple’s names and wedding date imprinted. Submitted

attended the wedding will remain connected with them,” said Allin Walker of Woodwalk Gallery, a popular wedding venue in Egg Harbor.

“People are getting more creative, and often it is connected with the seating chart so that people will come, pick up the favor and have their table assignment,” Walker said.

At a wedding at Woodwalk this past season, guests received a personalized pint beer glass with their name, the couple’s name and wedding date, and table assignment. It was used as the drinking glass throughout the evening, from a layered specialty drink selected by the bride and groom to the water glass during the wedding din-ner.

Couples have also used Woodwalk Gallery’s sig-nature glasses, made from recycled wine bot-tles, as favors. “Then everyone takes a little bit of Woodwalk and the wedding experience home with them,” Walker said. Stone coasters with personalized photos and the etched name of the couple and wedding date are also popular.

Another trend is to treat guests to a tasty regional food or beverage that guests can take home to enjoy, including jams from local farmers markets, locally harvested honeys and maple syrups, local wines with personalized labels and pillows of Door County Coffee, also personalized for the wedding

couple.

Some brides and grooms choose to use the wed-ding favors as an opportunity to deliver a personal message to each guest. Walker described a re-cent wedding when the couple collected small rocks and decorated each one with specific words of blessings — hope, joy, love — for each guest.

“They passed them out as a gift to each person, and nobody left their rock behind,” Walker said.

In lieu of favors, some brides and grooms bring in a photo booth experience for the evening festivi-ties.

“The photographer will bring dress-up clothes or have an old-fashioned photo booth, and all dur-ing the night people go into the booth for photos. One copy of the photo goes into the couple’s al-bum and the guest gets a copy to go home with,” Walker said.

Another “gift” for guests that is growing in popu-larity is a dessert buffet at the reception. In addi-tion to having a traditional wedding cake, a table filled with the bride and groom’s favorite desserts — items such as tortes, petite pies, cookies and cupcakes — that are beautifully arranged for ev-eryone to enjoy.

“The trend is to try to make the favors as personal-ized as possible,” Walker said.

One current trend is the use of succulent plants in wedding floral arrangements, such as in this bridal bouquet. Photo courtesy

Fresh flowers are the go-to choice for the couple’s wed-ding bouquets, centerpieces, and cakes. Brides and grooms are mixing in creative selections of flowers — in-cluding berries and woody plants — and now have op-tions for ordering locally grown blooms from flower farms in Door County.

Fresher and more fragrant

At Door’s Fleurs in southern Door County, couples are able to select locally grown, in-season flowers for their wedding in bulk or have owner Sarah Cilley create bouquets and centerpieces for the event.

Door’s Fleurs is a local flower market that opened in Au-gust 2013 on two acres of farmland and sells flowers di-rectly to couples as well as wholesale to local florists.

Cilley said that one of the advantages of purchasing wed-ding flowers locally is that they are at their peak of fresh-ness and fragrance.

2014 Wedding Planner | Saturday, January 18, 2014 | 5

“Locally grown flowers are more fragrant and col-orful than flower that were meant to be shipped thousands of miles away,” said Cilley. “The longer life of a flower is a tradeoff of the natural scent and beauty.”

The flowers are hand-harvested and nothing is im-ported unless requested. Wedding couples meet with Cilley, can tour the farm and select from the type of flowers available; Cilley does the harvest-ing. Cilley also provides containers for sale or rent.

“When couples come out to select their flowers, you can’t get them to leave because they love it so much,” Cilley said.

Wedding parties often stop in to pick up the flow-ers before the big event and see the beautiful land-scape.

There are no books of ideas at Door Fleurs, just a “focus on the look, beauty and serenity of the flower,” Cilley said. “The trend is a rustic, chic, down-to-earth and natural type of wedding. They would rather that I use nuts and stems for the nat-ural beauty look versus the fake bouquet looking type of arrangement. And I would rather be origi-nal than ordinary.”

Cilley said that Door’s Fleurs also grows a selec-tion of “fabulous ‘woodies’” which includes lilacs, hydrangeas, snowball viburnums and many types of berries.

“Everyone just loves berries, especially for fall decorations,” Cilley said. “We also have the Ameri-can Bittersweet, a classic, as well as the Purple Beauty berry plant — the berries look like little purple pearls.”

Door’s Fleurs can accommodate 2,500 stems a week, which translates into one or two large wed-dings, so Cilley encourages couples to call soon to book a wedding date.

Door County weddings, Door County flowers

Door Blooms Flower Farm in Sister Bay is anoth-er option for brides and grooms to select locally grown, in-season blooms that are sustainably grown. The farm opened in 2013 and has seen a great response.

“People were all about fresh, locally grown flow-ers. Women would pull up into my driveway and ask what the fresh bouquets were that day, and I had four weddings last year. Brides were really into it,” said Abbie Turner, owner of Door Blooms.

Turner sells flowers in bulk, can do all the arrang-ing, delivery and setup, or a combination of both options. Turner creates simple arrangements, boutonnieres, bouquets and centerpieces.

The concept of using in-season flowers may not be for every bride and groom, so Turner meets

flowers continued on page 10

with each couple to be sure they understand that she does not provide every flower in every color at any time of the year, like a florist or greenhouse.

“I let them know exactly what I offer and make sure they are okay with seasonal flowers. Then, about a week before their wedding, they come to the farm and pick out what they are drawn to the most, which gives me an idea for the style and colors they are thinking of,” Turner said.

‘I do’What to do before

Congratulations, you’re engaged!

And now… what?There’s a lot to do between saying “Yes” and saying “I do,” but it doesn’t need to be overwhelming. Plan-ning ahead and getting tasks done early, and in an orderly manner, helps make it much easier. As the old saying goes, “An elephant can be eaten – one bite at a time.”

So start digging into the elephant, a bite or two now, another few bites next week, until it’s all gone and you’re ready for the ceremony.

Here’s a when, what and who of getting ready for your wedding day; some items are optional, but many are mandatory, or at least really good ideas.

Spas help wedding partiesget ready

Along with a massage, bridal parties can take advantage of a relaxing sauna as

they get ready for the wedding day at the Lavender Spa in Fish Creek. Submitted

By Pamela Parks advocate and star-News correspondent

What used to be the basic primping for bridal parties — hair, makeup and a dab of nail polish before the wedding — has grown into a trend that includes relaxation and pampering as wedding parties get ready for the camera on the big day.

Local spas offer a variety of services to bridal parties prep-ping for wedding event, from massages, facials, manicures and pedicures to spray tanning and more. In some loca-tions, wedding parties can arrange to bring in appetizers and beverages to enjoy, adding an even more festive feel-ing to the experience.

At Ambiance Salon and Spa in Luxemburg, bridal parties often start off with a bite to eat before the pampering be-gins. In addition to hair and makeup, the spa offers waxing, pedicures and manicures, facials and massages.

“They come in as a group and have a breakfast, get their hair and makeup done, some get their nails done, and they make a morning thing of it before the wedding,” said Joyce Ciha of Ambiance Salon. “It is a fun group experience.”

Spas offer the bride and groom plenty of options for preparing for their wedding day. At Saguaro Day Spa in Sturgeon Bay, owner Connie Hafen-bredl has seen the wedding couples enjoying ame-nities as a one-to-one experience, as couples or in a large party.

“Sometimes just the bride will come in and wants to be alone for a while, but most often there are bridal parties that come with the bride, and we will designate the downstairs lower lounge for them to bring in food and beverages,” Hafenbredl said. “They can spend as much or as little time as they like with massage, body treatments, manicures and pedicures and our steam facility.

“Sometimes the bridal parties will come in a few days before or the day before the wedding, and other times the bride and groom, or groom and best man, will come in for a massage. It is a nice, relaxing time before the hurriedness of their day comes.”

Guests enjoy a relaxing view from the Saguaro Day Spa deck or snuggle down in one of the lounges next to a fireplace. Taking time to relax before the

busy schedule of the wedding day is a key focus for many couples.

“The bride and groom seem to take more time to get prepared for the wedding. There is more re-laxing involved, too. They want the best possible pictures by preparing their skin several months be-fore and perhaps spray tanning,” said Tia Bellisle, owner of Tia’Spa in Algoma.

“People are spending a longer time getting ready – it is not just the day of any more,” Bellisle said. “And they are not just preparing for the wedding, but for their honeymoon trip, too — the whole ex-perience.”

Located in the lower level of the Belle Isle Inn bed-and-breakfast, Tia’Spa offers wedding parties a unique opportunity to pamper themselves whether staying at the inn or not, and amenities can also be offered at the wedding venue as a personal stylist. Tia’Spa offers pedicures, manicures, facials, spray tanning and hair stylings for the wedding day.

“Often a wedding party comes in as a group and hangs out and chit-chats while I style or do mani-cures. Or I go to the facility and function as their personal stylist to help them get ready and do their makeup and hair before the ceremony,” Bellisle said.

“Brides are excited to use flowers that are grown in Door County,” Turner added. “They come to Door County for their destination wedding so they want all the parts of their wedding coming from Door County.”

Succulent plants among latest trends

One of the latest trends for fresh flowers in bouquets and on the wed-ding cake is succulent plants. Sarah Basch, owner of FlourGirl Patissier, decorated such a cake last summer, with stunning results.

“The bride wanted them draped across the front of the cake. It was something very different, and with Pinterest, everyone wants to do something different,” Basch said.

In other fresh flower trends, Basch said the popular colors of choice have been “soft and romantic,” bor-rowing from pinks and peaches in-stead of bright and bold colors. Sum-mer garden roses and unique ideas

inspired from Pinterest have also been the rage.

“Whatever flower theme they picked for the bouquets eventually makes it way to the cake,” Basch said. “This summer, garden roses were popping up on everything; they are very differ-ent and old fashioned … I also had another cake that used burlap roses in two tones. The bride made some and ordered others from Etsy to use in her bouquets, centerpieces, and the cake — it was very rustic.”

In magazines and wedding sites on-line, sugar flowers made from gum paste are popular, but when translat-ed into a real-life wedding, brides and grooms find they are costly because they are painstakingly handmade.

“In our area, most people use fresh flowers ... because you can use flow-ers and still make it your own by what you choose,” Basch said.

Succulent plants are used today not just for wedding bouquets, but also to decorate wed-ding cakes, like this one by FlourGirl Patissier in Door County. Photo courtesy Laurie Marie Photography LLC

yard Inn in Fish Creek, massage and sauna services are often enjoyed by bridal parties as well as the cou-ple getting married.

“Everyone wants a really good massage ... They want to feel good and be relaxed and have that time together,” said marise redmann, owner of the spa and inn.

But even more popular than relaxing as a wedding party are the spa’s romantic packages for the couple.

“The bridal couple stays at the inn for their honey-moon and enjoys a massage in our dedicated cou-ples massage room,” redmann said. The Couples Ultimate 90-minute massage package includes the massage, dinner at a fine dining establishment, wine from a local winery, bath salts and other amenities.

“It makes a fun gift for the couple, and then they come back on their anniversary year after year,” red-mann said. “It becomes a tradition.”

The bride and groom can unwind together in one of the rooms dedicated to couples’ massages at the Lavender Spa in Fish Creek. Submitted
