The Princess Bride

Fall 2007 Wedding Guide

We know you’ve waiting for this day all your life, princess. But how do you satisfy all the members of your court? Allow us to offer your highness a few suggestions to ensure everyone gets the royal treatment.

The Princess (a.k.a. The Bride)
A dress from Stanley Korshak Bridal Salon will make you feel like you’re living a fairy tale. First, pick a gown (by designers like Amsale, Kenneth Pool, and Romona Keveza). Then let the staff cater to your every whim. The boutique also specializes in finding the perfect veil, pair of shoes, and even invitations.

The Ladies in Waiting (a.k.a. The Bridesmaids)
Personalized charms from Jennifer Fisher say it all: a puzzle piece for his confused little sister, a bird for your flighty cousin, or a sun for your BFF who’s always been your constant bright spot. Just choose which ornament suits her best, have it personalized with a name or initial, and you’ll receive the trinket in fourteen business days.

The Dragon (a.k.a. The Mother-in-Law)
Nothing soothes the savage beast like capturing her good side. Jake Holt Photography snaps all the right moments, thanks to Holt’s keen observational eye. And, of course, his way with the ladies.

The Court Jesters (a.k.a. The Groomsmen)
A visit to The Boardroom Salon for Men will make sure the guys feel too, er, pretty to act up. The Benchmark package includes a haircut, paraffin hand dip, facial, and more for only $50.

The Loyal Subjects 
(a.k.a. The Wedding Guests)
Make sure your guests don’t want to storm the castle on your big day with a visit to A Stylish Soiree. The staff of skilled wedding coordinators has a mellow attitude but works with military precision. Best part? Their florists speak gibberish, which means they can translate your horticulture ramblings (“a bunch of red thingies with the sticky leaves”) into true organic elegance (an elegant grouping of red roses).

But don’t let them eat just cake (you know that never turns out well). In addition to a towering masterpiece from Arlington’s Splendid Bakery, turn to the experts at Food Company to create a customized menu filled with unique dishes suitable for any occasion.

Now it’s time to reign supreme.
