New Hampshire Wedding Beauty: Tracy Hines Studio, in the Vendor Spotlight

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

New Hampshire wedding beauty, Tracy Hines Studio, is featured in the vendor spotlight!  Tracy Hines shares some information about her studio, her work, and herself.  Check out Tracy Hines Studio in the spotlight today and on my Kate Parker Wedding.

Tracy Hines Studio

Number of years in business:

I have been a hair stylist & make-up artist for over 20 years. I developed my love for hair in my mother’s hair salon growing up. I developed my love of color also as a child with my paint brushes and pencils. I went to cosmetology school right after high school. I learned my passion for long hair design & make-up at a high end salon that I worked at for a few years before going out on my own.

Preferred wedding styles:
I really don’t have a preference but I’m excited to see vintage back in. Curling the hair, pinning it up in a loose bun or roll with loose curls tumbling down. And finishing off the look with a vintage hair accessories, veil or head band.  It’s the ultimate romantic look.

Tracy Hines Studio

Pricing Information:
Bridal packages start at $ 250 for hair only & $350 for hair & make-up on location.

What makes you stand out?
My years of experience in the beauty industry and my formal training in Art & Design.  As an artist I look at every angle & little detail when I’m working with a client.

What’s the favorite part of your work?
Being on location with the bride, along with her family & friends and being part of a very sacred moment in a couple’s life.

If you have any spare time, how do you spend it?
My husband, son & I do a lot outdoors activities (camping, mountain biking, hiking, fly fishing). I love antiquing with my mom and hanging out with my dad at his lake house. I also love to cook and entertain with family & friends. While my son is at school I like to spend time in my garden or art studio.

Which charity(s) are you donating to and why?
The ASCPA, the JDRF, and The Pink Initiative.  I have had cats & dogs my whole life. My mother and I were always saving cats that were abandoned. We need to be a voice for those who can’t do it for themselves. Cancer has touched my life several times through my husband’s family and through clients of mine. I hope one day soon there will be a cure so no one has to go through the painful ordeal. I chose the Juvenile Diabetes Research, again in hopes for a cure to make life easier for children. It’s harder to understand as a child what is a happening to them, then it is as an adult.

Massachusetts Wedding Cakes, BellaCakes Gives Tips and Trends

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Massachusetts wedding cakes, BellaCakes shares some great tips and trends that are helpful to know when choosing a cake vendor and when couples are going through the process of creating their wedding cake.  Check out BellaCakes and the tips and trends they have to share about the cake industry.

BellaCakes

What is some advice you can give couples when choosing a cake vendor, i.e. how to work together to achieve the desired look and taste.

1. Try to anticipate any food allergies that your guests might have.

2. Don’t be afraid to try seasonal flavors and something a little out of the ordinary. You don’t always have to have white cake with white buttercream.

3. Consider your budget and work with a vendor that is used to working within that price range.

4. Consider personalities when choosing your vendor. You will have a much more pleasant experience if you are able to relate and express ideas easily.

5. Taste the fondant! So many people offer what I call, “icky fondant”. Yes, it may have the look that you want but don’t settle for something that doesn’t taste good too.

BellaCakes

What are some current trends you are seeing in the wedding cake world, whether it’s particular designs, colors, flavors, ingredients, displays, etc.?

Cupcakes are very popular right now. I do many cupcake towers. In this economy, brides are shifting away from the more elaborate cakes and trying to minimize costs. Cupcakes offer a more economical approach, with no cake cutting fees and they are just plain fun. Cupcakes always bring a smile to your face!

Wedding Tip of the Day by Sperry Tents

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Today’s wedding tip comes from New England and NYC/Westchester County wedding tents, Sperry Tents Seacoast!  They shared a great expert advice article with us on my Kate Parker Wedding about the three important things to think about when choosing to have a tented event.  Number three on the list was quality!  Check out this great tip from Sperry Tents and read more expert advice on my Kate Parker Wedding.

Sperry Tents

Your outdoor event should be unique and special.  A tented event, dressed with elegant lighting and décor can create a refined outdoor ambiance.  Beyond a high-quality tent, it is important to have premium lighting and flooring options.  Flooring can convert an outdoor venue into an elegant ballroom dining setting.  Creating a magical glow for an evening event, lighting can dress the tent’s interior with elegant ambiance and décor.
