An inevitable part of
working in the wedding industry, is of course meeting brides. While at
first glance it may seem like every one of them is the same, this
couldn't be farther from the truth. There's one bride, in particular,
I'd like to talk about, but first, let's look at some of the other
types.
1. The Classic Bride. They value timeless weddings, and are highly
partial to the classic white wedding dress and other themes prevalent in
classic weddings.
2. The Creative Bride. Throw any pre-conceived notion of what you
thought a wedding should look like out the window, because the creative
bride will flip that on its head and turn it upside down. Their wedding
will most likely be flashy and inventive, even eclectic to some.
3. The Modern Bride. Modern Brides live in the here and now. Cutting
edge and sophisticated are perfect words to describe their wedding
4. The Nature Bride. In their eyes, anything that gets them closer to
the outdoors is great for their wedding. Earthy tones may be present,
and they may even walk around barefoot.
5. The Anti Bride. A distant cousin to the Creative Bride, Anti Brides
are determined that their wedding be the complete opposite of what a
classic wedding should look like. Black dress, dark colors, gloomy
lighting? You'll see it all.
6. The D.I.Y bride. The one I've been waiting to talk about.
D.I.Y brides usually have everything figured out, and will probably
be taking care of most of it herself. She may be proficient with power
tools, and isn't scared to get her hands dirty. D.I.Y brides are
certainly one of a kind.
However, D.I.Y brides think they can handle any task, and that's
where trouble arises. I've met many D.I.Y (or Pinterest brides if you
have an aversion to the term) who think that they can do everything
themselves, including chocolate covered Oreos (if that's what they've
chosen.) To them, it seems as simple as melting some candy melts,
covering an Oreo, and presto! You're done.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Candy Melts aren't even
chocolate, they're primarily composed of sugar and vegetable fats. Not
to mention that their primary function is decoration. When I make my
sweets, I use actual chocolate, bought from a wholesaler, and specially
flavored. I make every gourmet flavor by hand, including espresso and
turtle crunch, for example. The process is laborious and not easy. It's
worth it though, when I see a bride and groom's face light up, and I
know I've made their day that more special. So if you're one of those
D.I.Y brides (and even if you aren't) I highly suggest seeing what I
have to offer. You won't regret it.
Here's a great video from our friends at Visionary Video highlighting a small peek at the process.
