A Day to Remember
As your journey begins to plan your wedding, let the experts be your guide. They can help you make every aspect perfect, so you can enjoy the experience and remember every last detail.
Picture Perfect Skin
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend in more ways than one. Experience
the DiamondGlow® facial at one of Kansas City’s top med spas, Georgous Aesthetic Bar. The DiamondGlow is a next-level, non-invasive skin-resurfacing treatment that leaves the skin brighter, smoother and a more even skin tone. It’s a 3-in-1 treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin with nourishing skin infusion serums. With continued treatments you may also notice that it improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, and dull, congested skin.
Engagement Ring Inspiration
The decision to purchase an engagement ring represents a turning point in many people’s lives, so you want to choose a jeweler you can depend on for their expertise. Meierotto Jewelers makes the process as simple as possible with their team of local experts to help you understand the aspects of selecting a diamond and a setting for your engagement ring. With their vast selection of rings and volume buying power, they can offer designer brands at competitive prices. Meierotto Jewelers is locally owned and serving the bridal community in Kansas City for 44 years.
Consider a Nontraditional Neckline
The silhouette of a wedding dress is often associated with the shape of the dress (A-line, mermaid, ballgown, etc.), but a crucial part of the silhouette of the dress is the neckline. The neckline of a wedding dress does wonders in framing the bride’s shoulders and face. Traditional necklines include sweetheart and V-neck, but nontraditional necklines will be big in 2023. Think royal-inspired mock necks, asymmetrical necklines, off-the-shoulder sleeves,
and shrugs.
It’s All About the Food
The time has come and gone where food is just about food. Now more than ever, people are paying attention to where their food comes from—even at weddings. Open-concept catering can change the entire experience of dining at a wedding. Whether it’s smoking meat over a flame, stuffing pizzas in a brick oven, or searing fish on a flat-top grill, the immersive experience showcases the talent of the chefs and the hard work going into each dish.
Keep it Simple
There will always be a time and a place for neutral florals, but pastels and fluorescent florals are making a comeback. They’re whimsical, eye-catching, and add structure to any arrangement or centerpiece. Look for peach, purple, blues, pinks, and buttery yellows.
Bigger also doesn’t mean better when it comes to flower arrangements. (What bride wants to muscle up a bouquet, anyway?) Understated and smaller bouquets that focus on the quality and color scheme of flowers you’re putting into the bunch won’t swallow the look of the bride.
Draping Adds Drama
Choosing a wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you will make as you plan your special day. As you consider ways to create a magical environment, nothing transforms the look and feel of a space like fabric draping. Whether a backdrop, canopy, wall covering, or ceiling installation, draping creates a beautiful setting that elevates your ceremony or reception to the next level. Using airy, fire-retardant fabrics and unique design concepts, AAA Event Rentals can help bring your vision to life.
The Venue Experience
Retreat to the Finley River in Ozark, Missouri for an unforgettable wedding experience at Finley Farms. Choose from a variety of venues immersed in nature including the open-air chapel on the banks of the Finley River, the century-old Riverside Bridge, or the sprawling urban farm. Or, celebrate in spaces rich with history including The Ozark Mill, originally built in 1833, and The Workshop, a 1930s industrial garage that overlooks the property. Visit their website to explore minimalistic, rustic and luxury venues.

Keep an Eye Out for These Trends in 2023
Cool Dance Floors
Ditch the traditional wood plank or plain white floor for something more upscale, like a timeless yet trendy black and white checkered floor or LED-light floor that pulses to the DJ’s music.
Digital RSVPs
Save money on postage and opt for digital RSVPs for your
guests, which can be made on websites like The Knot and Zola.
Film Photos
Capture memories by handing out disposable cameras to the bridal party and task the members to take photos throughout
the night.
Residential Decor
Create a comfy, intimate space for guests by incorporating residential decor and furniture into the venue. Think sofas for resting after a night of dancing, warm ambience like chandeliers and lamps, and tabletop tchotchkes like vases and vintage books.
