Fan Programs Part 2

I can provide a wide pie shape about 6.5 inches tall, 7 inches at the widest point. A single piece of card stock in this shape, however, does not a fan program make. It looks like a minimum of three pieces are needed.

If your guests line the pieces up, and grasp the bottom, the program can work as a fan.




A hole is punched at the bottom; Ribbon threaded through will hold the fan together. In the photo below, the ribbon is wide enough that the program actually works better if you do not tie a bow.




Truthfully though, this type of fan program does not work as well as the fan program type depicted in "Fan Programs Part 1". I will admit that it looks a bit more elegant, but if your main goal is fan power, the other fan program type is a better bet.

NJ SDE Wedding Video by Abella Studios - http://www.abellastudios.com - Preparations & Ceremony Same Day Edit

This is an amazing video created for a couple on their Wedding Day this past weekend. The videographers captured special moments at the Bridal Preparations and Ceremony. Then, the editor did his magic as the reception was taking place and voila, the gorgeous "same day edit" was created and later shown at the Reception, which was held at the newly renovated Imperia, Somerset, NJ. You don't understand how it makes us feel as visual artists to see the Bride get emotional while watching this video. The reactions from the Bride & Groom, family and friends made all of the hard work that went into this production truly worth it.

NJ Wedding Video by Abella Studios - http://www.abellastudios.com - Banacki Preparations & Ceremony from Abella Studios on Vimeo.

The Bride and Groom sent us the following email...

"The slide show and video montage was wonderful and our guests were very impressed! And Mark was such a pleasure to work with. We can not say enough how amazed we were with the work you did!

Melissa Lees"

Custom Wedding Aisle Runner for Ufuoma

I just adore the custom aisle runner I recently finished up for Ufuoma's wedding.   She showed me her beautiful bouquet and we added plumerias to the design in her purple and fuchsia color palette.  The poem at the back of the runner is accented with a smaller flourish that compliments the design around the names.  We also did a small banner for one of her page boys to carry before she enters.  So thrilled with the way this order came out!

Planning for Under the Dress

My first wedding dress alterations fitting is coming up, so I needed to find all the undergarments for under the dress.  Guys, you might want to skip this post!

Tip: Always take everything you'll be wearing on your wedding day to every alterations fitting (including undergarments and shoes), so that the fit is perfect and there are no surprises.

Down Below

Spanx, of course!  I love Spanx for smoothing everything out.  I already have this style, so I'm set.

Power panties with tummy control

Up top:

I decided on a simple strapless bustier (also called a longline bra), to give support up top and control my curves.  I tried looking around at department stores and Victoria's Secret.  They only had one or two to try, and none fit me well or felt like I could wear it all day.

Victoria's Secret, Jezebel at Macy's

I finally went to Petticoat Fair in Austin on a friend's recommendation.  Best wedding decision ever!  This small lingerie shop is leaps and bounds better than department stores or Victoria's Secret.  You get a personal saleswoman for the entire time you're there to size you correctly, find what you're looking for, and help decide which bra has the best fit.

I absolutely recommend going to a smaller, non-chain lingerie shop when you're shopping for your wedding.  The saleswoman pulled out SIX bustiers she thought would look good and helped put them on me.  We finally selected this one and I absolutely love it.  It fits PERFECTLY!

Wacoal Longline Strapless Bra

Tip: Take your wedding dress with you when shopping for undergarments.  It sounds odd, but my saleswoman specifically asked me if I had it with me, so we could check if the bra showed through the dress.

Title: Thereminist Armen Ra / METAL a tribute to Maria Callas

Sola Perduta Abandonatta! from the Opera Manon Lescu by Puccini. Video Laure Leber/
World-famous thereminist Armen Ra debuts METAL, a multimedia cycle of five arias selected from the repertoire of Maria Callas. Special guests narrate the content of the arias while the theremin voices the melodies, set against a backdrop of metallic black-and-white footage of Callas, projected in extreme slow motion so that every micro-expression in her face becomes apparent, simultaneously revealing a woman of great pride and profound vulnerability, creating a portrait that is both hauntingly mythological and painfully human.



As if playing the ghost of an instrument, a Thereminists role appears to be part musician part conjurer; though after listening to Armen Ras playing and point of view, you most likely will believe the latter.
In METAL, his July 9 performance at The New Museum, Armen Ras Theremin recital of five arias will give voice to the premier of his silent slow-motion video piece of sampled Maria Callas footage. The performance attempts to bridge the distance between creative spirits with Ouija board will. By extracting and amplifying the most potent elements of her stage presence, he creates a haunting distillation of the diva.
Divorced from his identity to receive anothers, Armen Ra notes that he enters an otherworldly state while performing. In this sense, he opens the possibility for sonic drag. The substitution of the sound of the Theremin for the voice of Callas teeters on the edge of selfless homage and provides new entry into the tradition of drag and gender performance. Consequently, the Theremin transcends its eerie science fiction associations for an elegant connection to voice and the music of the spheres.

INTERVIEW

Review by John Hoge. Thereminworld.com

The theater at the museum was larger than I expected, very simple and nice with an open raised stage and giant smooth wall for projections.

I'd seen a celebrity in the lobby, but didn't know what was coming: Armen's guest narrator was one of the most famous voices in New York downtown theater, the actor and playwright Edgar Oliver! His reading of some aria lyrics was a perfect fit.

The visual breadth of this concert may well have been the best setting yet for Armen's playing. You'd think such massive visuals would eclipse a single player standing in shadows, but his intense presence and concentration was still riveting. Projections became an extension of the music being created on stage. The non-stop format made for a breathless journey through pure music that was entertaining in every way.

Armen has always been one of the most expressive and musical thereminists. Since he moved to L.A. it's been a while since I've seen him. An added delight in hearing an artist, and old favorites over time, is enjoying the subtle changes in their music making.

It seemed to me he's understanding and embracing the "true" voice of the theremin, and accepting the nature of the instrument at a deeper level. Not imitating a soprano, especially in the quicker or jumpy bits, but letting the theremin sound like itself naturally without pressing it into some other mold. Armen sounded relaxed in the control field, his intonation was excellent and his phrasing is always exquisitely musical. The playing was honest: centered, secure and confident - the music just flowed from that core.

The program featured "Casta Diva" from Norma, "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca, "Sola, perduta, abbandonata" from Manon Lescaut, "Ebben? Ne andrò lontana" from La wally, and a projected montage of Maria Callas archival footage edited to the backing tracks to form an organic companion to the vision of Armen pulling sear beauty out of thin air.

IDEAS: Madlibs Wedding Advice Serves as a Creative Guestbook!

Retumbld from Geek Wedding's Tumblr.

If you and your partner are geeks about anything, there is usually a way to incorporate that side of your selves into your wedding (or funeral or any other ceremony!).  Music snobs (like me) will be very careful about the selection of music used during the ceremony, and after.  They will often use albums to identify tables or give away CDs as favours.  i love foodies too, because they will (obviously) incorporate something delicious into the menu or hors d'oeuvres, for example. 

The point is, don't settle for less, and reflect who YOU are.  Each aspect of your special day should, and CAN show a little bit of yourselves!

Please contact A NON-DENOMINATIONAL CEREMONY : Certified Celebrant and ordained officiant for your indie wedding, DIY wedding, offbeat, anti-wedding, geek wedding, non-religious wedding, Asian wedding, destination, secular, multicultural, interfaith, surprise, civil, simple, traditional or spiritual ceremony.

Another new invitation set - dancing couple design

This customer ordered save the dates previously. The MV31 design http://savethedateoriginals.com/details/MV31.php was actually created for this couple. You may notice a similar theme carried with the invitations. These are printed on cream card stock; The customer needed the main invitation card, the usual 5x7 inches, then an RSVP card, a map/directions card, and a card for hotel information. I did create the map for the customer based on one they provided (it had to be recreated for the appropriate size and resolution).

MELANIE AND GAVIN'S WEDDING AT NORTON CHURCH AND HALLGARTH GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB DARLINGTON

It's been a long while since Mel and Gavin met me for the first time at a wedding fair at Redworth Hall Hotel.

Nearly two years ago, and in the meantime, we have met a few times, including a pre-wedding shoot and Mel also gave birth too!

Gavin and I talked though Facebook a lot and he also kept me up to date with wedding plans every couple of weeks - all part of the service!

Finally, their wedding date appeared on the horizon and it was a beautiful day for their wedding at Norton Church on the Green near Stockton on Tees where family and friends gathered for a lovely informal service and then we headed off to Hallgarth Hotel Golf and Country Club near Darlington for their wedding breakfast and evening celebrations.

The sun stayed out most of the day, everything was cool and chilled out, with laughter aloud and Mel's choice of having a magician to entertain her guests before the wedding breakfast worked out really well!

Gavin excelled with his speech - though he confessed later that he couldn't remember any of it - and Mel's love of dragonflies was everywhere - even on her beautiful dress and cake!

I managed to grab 15 minutes before the evening guests arrived to get a few images of the happy couple together too - it was a great day for all their family and close friends - and I hope this small selection of images from the 350 final edited photographs that they will choose from for their wedding album gives you a flavour of their wedding!

ALTERNATIVES: To Exchange Rings, or NOT to Exchange Rings?

Tattooed 'rings' may be the best option for you, especially if you want to avoid the cost, convention, maintenance and/or discomfourt of wearing a wedding ring.

On left: from TATTOOED BRIDE blog, via Allebach Photography
On right: from MANOLO BRIDES via Leigh Miller Photography

Many people are led to believe (incorrectly, at least in California) that one must exchange rings as part of the marriage ceremony.  Not everyone likes to wear jewelry, even if it is your wedding ring. Do you work around electricity?  A metal ring may not be a good idea.  And what is a more permanent symbol of your love, than a tattoo?  You can't lose it, since you won't need to take it off to paint your house.  You also won't be able to take it off or throw it after an argument with your other half...  ;-|  

The act of tattooing rings to indicate betrothal or marriage is a fairly modern trend, but has gained popularity in recent times, especially in the UK and Europe. Ancient Egyptians would tattoo wrists and fingers to ward off illness and bad luck. Slaves' hands were sometimes tattooed to indicate ownership. Ancient Egyptian women have been found with tattoos on their bodies to promote fertility (from Ancient Egypt: Personal Ornaments website).

At a cost of about $100, tattooed wedding rings are an economical way to go, but may require some touch-up work down the line, especially as they fade and evolve with time.  The palm side of the hand is quite sensitive, pain-wise, and tattoos also tend to fade and blur faster on the palm side.
