<span style="color: blue;">Have a WINTER DATE (“Off Season”) for Wedding OR a Photo Session?</span></h3>
We minus $50 from the Grand Total for EVERYONE for our services for ANY winter date between November 1 and March 31! What's it like on the coast in those months? Warmer than you may remember--"global warming" is evident here: for example, its Oct 17 today and the high temperature was 83 degrees! These wintertime beaches are clear, sunny, calm, and still very hauntingly beautiful then… and VERY deserted and lovely. Dec-Feb are the coolest, around 30-45 degrees. PLUS, You can wear a wider variety of clothes on the beaches then, making for VERY beautiful photos that are unique!<br />

<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Metallic and Marble materials, colors, textures - lots of silver, chrome, white metal.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Greenery - instead of flowers, now its vines, ferns, leaves, succulents, berries, pods, stems, grasses, spanish mosses, peacock feathers, straw or raffia. (our florist LOVES to make these!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Casual ceremonies and photo poses - cheerful, fun, relaxed, even humorous. (Like we do!)</span></li>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Some people entertain the warm fuzzy idea of a good friend or
family getting quickie-poo ordained online so he or she can officiate your
wedding. But there is MUCH more needed for this intensely personal and legal
task. Most people know little about what
goes into designing a ceremony, a rehearsal, or what authorizes a person to
officiate. Think about it – would you hire a music band that had never played
before? Would you want your wedding to be their first gig? Also, you are
putting your loved one in a high-pressure, complex, and legal position of VERY
BIG responsibility … with only ONE shot at it!
<b>You don’t get that special moment back. </b><br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">On the
surface, it seems a fun idea, however a closer look shows many reasons why this
is not a good idea. On the other hand, is it possible to still have a warm,
comfortable, personalized (and legal) ceremony with a non-relation? Oh yes!
Read on… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Six main
reasons to interview and hire a seasoned, qualified, professional to officiate:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: .25in; text-indent: -.25in;">

In NC, only a judge or a church-authorized clergy is allowed to officiate a legal wedding.</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-left: .25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: .25in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[endif]--><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">2) The state courts of North Carolina
and Utah have 'judicial precedents' which allow NC judges to invalidate online or mailorder ordinations. If your officiant’s ordination is judged
invalid (at any time, even years later), then your marriage is annulled and
invalid too. This causes you, your business,
your property, your children and grandchildren very serious legal problems. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

details and skills for a great ceremony. <b>Which ones are you willing

reputable wedding websites with vendor listings. This can be VERY FUN! Read the reviews of the 4 and 5-star ones. Notice the wording and photos of interesting
officiant vendors… do they look, read and “feel” good?</span><br />

<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Contact 3 or more of the best. Ask
for a phone interview, or a meeting.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Trust your instincts: how flexible is she? Is he enthusiastic? Notice reactions to your
wishes and ideas.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Speak openly about what you do and
don’t want, listen to their questions. Don’t worry if a clergyperson doesn’t
share your beliefs … you won’t hire that one. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Do you like how she or he talks aloud? How
he looks--he’ll be in half the photos.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">Does she seem to like you or your ideas? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">When you find 1 or 2 favorites, ask
for the contact info to the leaders of their churches to confirm their
ordination and authorization. If they don’t comply, then smile, say thank you,
and walk away. Regardless of charm, if
they aren’t authorized, your marriage won’t be legal. </span></li>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Look at this picture overall (ignore faces). Which outfits look "best" against this typical beach background? The ones in colorful clothes or neutral clothes (left side or right side)?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYdWg3elgUlrYRliyRRrs3c2JtyYHNByqbKsq6DxbaXsQ2Icv5WYiZPPdLjY_wRTpzQvqq1f54Uxq7U01TMHQ63nF-VrXTLc2AH80bZrZrI_Ig0bD1ria-rffPVWkIVge0igKeO-QXUg/s1600/color+clothes%252C+who+is+best.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="510" data-original-width="800" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYdWg3elgUlrYRliyRRrs3c2JtyYHNByqbKsq6DxbaXsQ2Icv5WYiZPPdLjY_wRTpzQvqq1f54Uxq7U01TMHQ63nF-VrXTLc2AH80bZrZrI_Ig0bD1ria-rffPVWkIVge0igKeO-QXUg/s400/color+clothes%252C+who+is+best.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Hint: for best results, WEAR BRIGHT, COLORFUL CLOTHES to your beach wedding and any beach photo session too! Your wedding party can wear any bright colors you wish BUT:<b><br /><span style="background-color: yellow;">**AVOID </span></b><b style="background-color: yellow;">white, ivory, cream, gray, tan, </b><b style="background-color: yellow;">beige, khaki, nor light blue (and medium blue) OR any pastels too!</b><b style="background-color: yellow;"> ** </b><b style="background-color: white;">They all washout and look weak, or even disappear into background of beige, white and pale blue beach and sky backgrounds.</b><br />
<b style="background-color: white;"><br /></b>
<b style="background-color: white;">This is true for your flowers too... white and pastel flowers disappear on a white or pale dress and the pale beach background! Choose strong, bright colors or jewel tones. </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b style="background-color: #ffd966;">Honest & Blunt Advice: </b> For Brides: the typical strapless, sleeveless white/ivory dress does NOT look good on most body types (90% of us are not tiny and slender). <i><b>Women of Color:</b></i> you got a natural advantage--you can wear the white/ivory colors okay, but bright colors still look better than pales! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b style="background-color: #ffd966;">SHOPPING ADVICE:</b> look in non-wedding dress departments, bring honest friends along who have good taste, try different colors and <i>get YOUR style instead--be YOU!</i> <b>IF you just GOTTA do a white dress,</b> then put your fiance and attendants all in bright colors, you carry bright/contrasting flowers (same rules as above), put colorful decor in your hair, consider a color sash or dress accents, and pick a non-strapless style that flatters your beautiful shape!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">~ ADVICE FROM 1550+ beach weddings experience, so HEED ~</span></b></div>
<div>
<b>Margo cannot emphasize this enough..</b>.Nothing ruins your wedding photos like the hair/bangs of a bride (or the daughter or mom or a bridesmaid) flapping loose, unpinned, unsprayed in your eyes and mouth due to wind whipping because: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>It absolutely <b><i>WILL </i></b>flop in your eyes when windspeed is 9+mph - <b><u>always</u></b> </li>
<li>Now you have a large, hairy "squid" covering your face in pics! </li>
<li>Frustrated, clawing, hair flipping people SCOWL in pics </li>
<li>all the after poses HAVE to be in the same direction, same background, no creativity, no variations and some GREAT poses are impossible... cuz loose-hair-ladies must face the wind only.<span style="background-color: yellow; color: #cc0000;"><b> Seriously... Margo's photos totally rock... don't cut yourself off from that!</b></span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">TIPS TO PREVENT THIS: </span></u></b></div>
<b><span style="color: blue;">REMEMBER, it is WHIPPING WINDY at the beach 90% of the time! If the forecast says wind speed is above 9 mph, </span><span style="color: red;">then fix your hair tightly which means</span></b>: </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>BASIC: <u style="font-weight: bold;">at least </u>wear a decorated or simple headband <i>with hairspray</i></li>
<li>BETTER: use bobby pins, combs, flowers, braids, <b>and hairspray a lot</b></li>
<li>BEST for DIY.: TON of strong hairspray, plus pins, plus combs or barrettes, a tiara, flowers, plus gel/wax and lots MORE HAIRSPRAY! </li>
<li><u><b>BEST OF ALL: </b></u> hire a pro hairdresser to style it right AND who has experience with beach weddings, PLUS insist on<i><u> <b>tons of hairspray</b>.</u></i> </li>
<li>This is true for short hair men too! High wind means he has Alfalfa sprouts or a large divot in his head in photos. USE LOTS OF HAIRSPRAY!<u><b>TONS!</b></u></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="background-color: yellow;">And another BIG FYI: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>WEAR your biggest and SHINY JEWELRY.</b></span> This is a wedding...its one time only special...and these are your once-in-a-lifetime wedding photos. So at least borrow some pearls, or a "big" necklace, wear shinier, nicer earrings, AND put on a nice bracelet. Strapless or sundresses: look VERY strange and bland without showy bling at neckline. Seriously, you look washed out, blah, bland, lifeless, and bluntly...it gives a vague visual hint of not really wanting to do this or dress up for this, as if you don't care, kinda slap-dash...SO wear your showy bling, ladies! <b><i>REALLY! Even simple string of costume pearls is great! </i></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Hope this helps! 💖</span></b></div>

married more than 3,100 people and no two weddings are alike. We attract the
most interesting, fun-loving people here at the beach, which is just logical,
given the happy nature of typical beachpeople,” commented Rev. Margo. “Photos? You can see hundreds on our
Facebook with more than 1,800 Likes!
Interesting to me… even people with NO wedding plans watch us there just
for the eye-candy. They comment and tell us what they think!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“We are so blessed to be offer these personal services! Our
couples tell us they love the warm attention and enthusiastic support we give.
In turn, this gives us a real quality of life.
And a part of why our weddings are so awesome is due to the wonderful
local businesses to which we refer clients daily, such as bakers, restaurants,
hotels, salons, a florist, and many more,” says Rev. David. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
