We here at Engaged Connecticut are celebrating another great wedding season.  Come celebrate with us!  

January 22, 2015

One of the joys of social media is that I get to stay in touch with 99% of my couples. (Believe it or not, once or twice a year, I have a couple who doesn't do have a single facebook or twitter account. ) As the years have gone by, I've also become great social media friends with my couples's wedding party and I wanted to share one of my favorites. 

Tom & Liz!  I met them with a toddler in tow and baby in a car seat, in the middle of vineyard, with nothing but smiles on their faces. We were about to celebrate a marriage of people they cared about and from that day, I've been at least a Facebook friend of theirs. Their lives are filled with work, children, housework, sleepless nights, I'm sure a few bills and yet they do it with such grace and ease.  I couldn't help but ask Liz and Tom if they were willing to answer a few of questions on weddings and marriage. What they wish they had known and what they had learned.  Of course they said yes, and of course Liz followed through and Tom made wonderful humorous comments and at some point we will have a part two to this blog. 

In the wise words of Liz:

We're coming up on our tenth anniversary in July, so it's kind of neat to think about these things...

I would love to know what you have learned since 

your wedding day?  

About Marriage and kids and stuff, I presume...

*Find out what annoys your spouse and try to stop doing it (if it's reasonable, like hanging up

your coat instead of throwing it on a chair). Unless, of course, you're Tom and you do it

 

more just to annoy your wife. Then you have to just laugh because he will ALWAYS blow his nose as 

loudly as possible just because he CAN...

Anyway, daily little stuff that you can do to make life easier matters: remembering to put your dishes in

the dishwasher or your socks in the hamper (not because you want to but because you know it will make

the other person happy) will go a long way.

*That having kids is REALLY hard a lot of the time, and it will either make or break your relationship. So

talk about it BEFORE you get married. If one of you wants kids and one doesn't, don't assume one of you 

is going to change his/her mind! And if you decide you want them, develop your relationship first. Have 

a strong marriage first, THEN have kids.

what you wish you had known before getting married?  

*That it's OK to agree to disagree, unless it's something that affects your daily life, like how much extra 

time you spend at work or the discipline of your children. Then you have to figure out a system together.

*That sometimes you have to wait until the "heat of the moment" has passed to talk about stuff that's

difficult or important. And that discussions don't have to be all ironed out at once. You can talk about it,

wait, and talk about it more later. As long as you agree to do so.

something you stressed about and now laugh at the thought of it? 

We stressed about making our parents happy.  It was our wedding, and this is our life that we have built, 

not theirs.  Letting go of feeling responsible for their happiness has been a huge burden lifted off of us.

what do you wish you had had on your wedding day?  

I wish I had had a wedding planner!!! I did pretty well with delegating tasks so I didn't have to worry 

about much of anything on the actual day, but the event coordinator that we worked with at our reception

location decided not to be there the night of our wedding. so when dinner was late, there was no one to 

talk to the manager but me...

I also wish we had had a designated person to deal with the idiots who got drunk and either tried to make 

fools of themselves or tried to drive home. Dummies.

and the best thing about each other?

Best thing about my husband is his how we treat each other. He goes out of his way to let me know how

much he loves me every day with affection, gifts, words, etc. I know that I can come home tired and 

hungry and bitchy and he will help with dinner and the kids and then get me a glass of wine. And I am his 

support when he needs it. Our relationship has give and take, which creates balance for our little family.

Liz & Tom

I spend a lot of my time working on the "WEDDING" and yet always do my best to remind my couples they need to think of the big picture too.  I really hope this helps you think about what comes after the wedding.  <3  Thanks for reading.  ~ESTOccasions

Our amazing logo on the wall

Last Friday, we officially opened our new offices in West Hartford and we celebrated with so many of  you.  Thank you to everyone who came out, who sent cards, gifts, and all of the well wishes.  
We knew it was going to be a big event, and we have the photobooth photos (view if you dare) to prove it.  (Thank you Seth Kaye Photography)

At the end of February after an Engaged Connecticut member dinner meeting, we toured the building, located at 920 Farmington Ave.  We all fell in love with it, and found ourselves sitting in a empty office, on the floor, creating a plan.  In three short weeks, we pulled it off.  Thank you to all of our members, who stepped up, contributed and helped us pull off this event.

Thank you again, and we can't wait for our upcoming wedding open house, and our next Engaged CT event!!!  We have also finally finished our associate Engaged CT members application.  Email us if you are interested.

Thank you to Tulaloo for the amazing invitation and all of the signs.  Lizzie's Catering for the tasty food.  A Little Imagination Cakes for the cake!  Kerry's Sweet Berries for the chocolate covered Strawberries.  DJae Melee for the uplighting, Choice Bar Services for the wine and cocktails, Windham Gardens for the flowers and thank you to the rest of our amazing crew!!!   Epic Filmmakers, General Eclectic Rentals, ESTOccasions, The Wedding Embassy, That Girl..., and The Beauty Bar.  Plus a special thank you to Fran for  her overwhelming helpfulness.

A few years ago we had the pleasure of meeting Adriana, the owner, the founder and the mastermind behind The Beauty Bar. Her talent to make any woman shine, feel comfortable and look their best is priceless. From the everyday looks to the stunning wedding looks, her and her crew have you covered. The salon is located in Southington and on wedding day they will travel to you! We asked Adriana about her passion, her tips and her loves and hates in this business. Enjoy!!

When did you realize this was your passion?

When I was 12, I would spend my allowance on lip smackers and hair products and I would experiment new trends and updos on my friends.

What is your own best personal make up tip?

Drink TONS of H20 and Skin care is EVERYTHING! I love a fresh face makeup look. Fluffy lashes, lush lips, Glow-y skin. And a great contoured face. Its just timeless, relevant and yet beautiful. You NEVER want anyone to say "WOW her makeup looks beautiful" You want them to think " Wow! she looks beautiful she's glowing"

When brides come in for trials, what should they bring with them?

Pictures, pictures, pictures. AND if they dont have any idea what they want to do then a picture of their dress along with any inspiration boards are always a FAVE of mine. It gives me a sense of who they are. I also usually ask every bride how they do their own makeup daily. If they tell me they use a ton of mascara and eye liner then that tells me they like their eyes played up and it gives me a starting point.

Your favorite make-up product?

Lipgloss. Lush lips scream sexy.

What is one thing you wish women would stop doing make up wise or hair wise or both?

OH BOY! Where do I begin!?!? 

{ Makeup }

• Liquid liner should NEVER, EVER go on the bottom lash line.
• A red lip and yellow teeth should never meet.
• A dark lipliner and light lip stick should never happen, EVER. It came and went in the 90's and will NEVER make a comeback.
• A black smokey eye with a bright red lip really shouldn't be put together. Its too much to look at and people dont know where to look first.

{ Hair }

• If you don't have curly hair please don't attempt to scrunch it with gel/mouse/hairspray ... its not curly. Now it just looks wet all day.
• Use professional shampoo & conditioner when you get your hair professionally colored. And buy from only professional salons. If you spend $200 for an amazing color application and then use Pantene at home your defeating the purpose. Its like washing your silk dress in TIDE.
• Even if you hair is fine, still use conditioner. You don't want thirsty hair.

Is there a shade of color your hair hasn't been?

Black, green, blue.

Do you miss your brides after the wedding date?

Yes! I love when I hear from them and when I get to play a part in baby bump shoots, a family shoots etc. I feel like a huge part in their lives after their big day.

What is your favorite thing to do on wedding day?

That moment when the bride looks at herself in the mirror after hair and makeup is complete and her dress is on I like to look at her mother .. because that face tells it all! And of course the {WINK} I get from the photog after they take their few pics and look at them. It means I did my job right.

Air brushing, why you love it?

Full coverage with a light weight feel. Its a veil of full coverage foundation. You can blush naturally right through it. And not ONE MOLECULE of makeup moves. and of course its water resistant

Favorite shade of lipstick?

Daily: HUE- MAC

Bold Pink: Girl about town- MAC

Bold Red: Russian Red - MAC

Fall Color: Heroine - MAC

Favorite shade of eye shadow?

MY NEW FAVE! Stila - Kitten! You'll thank me later!

The one thing all women should do before leaving the house??

Mascara it up ladies! And sashay out that door.

Kisses, Love & Stilettos!

We often have the debate, do we or don't we provide a program.  We love programs but we understand the pros and the cons to them.  We felt that we could just list a few talking points on the subject and hope that it is helpful to you.

Chalkboard all in One

• It can be a  budget drain {of course ordering programs is going to take from your budget.  It is a given and if you have to have it, and they are important to you, then do create them}
• There is always the question of how many to order.  One per person, one per couple.  We have found that you order 75% of how many guests are attending!  The last thing you want to have is a ton of leftovers.
• How do I make sure everyone gets one?  {Have your wedding party hand them out, or place on every chair or maybe this idea from Every Last Detail and attach one to each chair.  They are cute and a tiny bit different.} 
• There is always the option of creating ONE noticeable wedding program for everyone to view.  A chalkboard, or printed canvas might be the way to go.  
• Going for the one program, make sure everyone can have easy access, that it will stand up indoors or outdoors with no issues and do your best to create it a few days before the wedding, if not a month prior.  This should be a #PDIY {Practical Do It Yourself Project} and just make sure you can make changes if you create it months prior. 
• What do you add, lots of details or a tiny bit of details.  The choice is yours.  We do suggest that you add in the important things, like your names, the date, location and at least a simple deadline.  It is sweet to add in bridal party information, and parents. We also love a program with a personal touch, like how you met, or the proposal story. 
• Have someone double check the spelling before you order them.  Simple and easy advice to ensuring perfect programs. 
• You have options and one of the best things you can do for yourself, is leave one of the programs at home.  This way you don't have to worry about bringing one back home. 



Drink Station & Programs at an ESTOccasions Wedding. 

• Make sure your guests have easy access to them.  Don't hide them. 

A program isn't a must but it is a nice bonus to the day.  If you can afford it, create just enough of them and then let it go.  Don't stress about anymore.
