Podcast appearances and mentions of anne chertoff

Sara and Matthew are ringing in the holiday season with the founders of Beaumont Etiquette, Myka Meier & Anne Chertoff, to give us all a little brush-up on our bar, table, and party etiquette. Myka and Anne also let us in on the best kept etiquette secrets when it comes to dating, tipping, toasting, and the answer to why the millennials are selling out their much-buzzed about formal dining classes.

Today our three Black Thunders Finalist joined us and we learnt all about who is the running to be our new Black Thunder Pilot. We asked if there is a listener in Brisbane who found out their partner had another family… and it turns out it's not that rare. Luke Hodge from the Brisbane Lions called up to talk about this weekend's game and we tried to solve the Yanny or Laurel debacle. Also Kelly Rowland put in a call to Scotty Too Hottie and we spoke to Royal Etiquette expert Anne Chertoff and Matty shared with us the ridiculous thing he has been fighting with his wife about.

Because 3 wedding experts are better than 2! This episode is rapid fire, Q&A Style! We are so happy to have Anne Chertoff of WeddingWire back in the recording studio (haha) and since this is a sequel, we are following up with Anne. We are talking about second weddings, registries, receiving lines, favors, fashion and welcome gifts. Big Takeaways The Second Time Around: If you are getting married for the second time...you may feel like you need to make some adjustments, do some things differently, but you can acknowledge that the situation is different the second time around, but still VERY important! Throw ‘rules' out the window and celebrate your wedding, your way. Anne suggests doing something relevant to the time of your life that you are in - because that is different than the first time you got married. The Wedding Gown: Are you ‘supposed' to be totally over the moon for your wedding dress? We think there is a weird pressure to be 100% sure that your dress is the answer to all your prayers. But the truth is, not all brides actually feel this way about their dress. If you have an awesome gut feeling, trust it! If you don't, we suggest you accept it and move on logically and with purpose - because the wedding and the marriage is the important part. Everyone's priorities are different! Focus on and embrace your own. (But we also think you should feel BEAUTIFUL in your wedding dress, one way or another.) On another bride-fashion note...where does a stylish lesbian get a perfect suit? Anne reminds us that the important part is that you match your spouse in formality. Remember that you want to look like the 2 people getting married - together. Not a bride and a guest. (See our links for 2 great recommendations for women's suits.) Go for high quality fabrics, and find an AWESOME tailor - fit is everything. Also, we think a grey vest with black pants is totally fine! Receiving line: Does the prospect alone have you all stressed out? Anne shares her advice for getting some face time with every guest, without having to walk around to every table during dinner (and forget that you have to eat too!). Also, consider a moment during the ceremony to turn to your guests and acknowledge your guests, make eye contact, feel the love. It only takes a moment! Family Dynamics: We talk about this A LOT on the podcast. If your parents are paying for the wedding, do you have to do everything their way? If your family is very traditional, is it your duty to include every tradition in your wedding? It's all about compromise! And deciding what is worth arguing about! We strongly suggest you use your vendors to help you solve ‘issues' - your wedding planner, your caterer, your photographer...all of these people can help you before the wedding, to plan and to problem solve. Our vendors are professionals and they're probably creative and resourceful. And all wedding planners want to have a plan A, B and C - so trouble-shooting before the wedding day is the way to go! Gifts For Guests: Thinking about a welcome gift for guests? We are all big fans of totes! Practical, personalized and cute - fill em with bottles of water, a local map and a few granola bars for the wedding weekend - easy, peasy. Also - how fun are mix tapes? USB style = even better! Links we referenced Our first episode with Anne Sites for menswear inspired suits for women: DapperQ Haute Butch 9 Tailors 14 Stories and the Gay Wedding Institute Welcome bag tote ideas Quotes “Bridesmaids spend on average $1200 on a wedding.” - Anne, citing a WeddingWire study (yikes!) “Remember the first wedding...it's part of your history. It's part of your story.” - Michelle, wisdom about life's cycles “No one is going to say, “Mazel tov! You look horrible.” - Anne. So pick the dress you want and don't worry about it! “I think a big mistake couples make is thinking that if they don't register for anything, then they'll get cash. And that's not the case.” - Anne, for a lot of reasons. People want to buy GIFTS, y'all! “Edible favors are always going to be popular...cookies with your names on them, a box of mini donuts at the end of the night...I love edible favors.” - Anne “With welcome gifts, it's really going to depend on your budget.” - Anne, doesn't it all depend on the budget?

We're veering from our typical show structure and topics to delve into TRENDS today. And since we don't do this very often, we wanted to do it right - with an expert. Anne Chertoff is the Trends Expert (that's her job title!) at WeddingWire - the premier online resource for wedding planning tools, vendor library, guidance and inspiration. Anne has worked in the wedding industry for 20 years and we are loving picking her brain about what she is seeing right now in the wide world of weddings. This episode is all over the place -- in a good way! We talk ice cream, gobos, braids, greenery, and all about the tools that couples are using now to personalize their wedding and to give their guests a memorable, unique experience of celebration! Big Takeaways What makes Anne an expert? Her resume includes... - Modern Bride magazine - Martha Stewart Weddings - Various wedding tv shows, websites and partnerships worldwide! - She covered the royal wedding for various outlets! - Now, she's at WeddingWire as a Trends Expert and Spokesperson. And she's speaking to us! Sidenote - in interviewing Anne, we stumbled upon some really amazing career advice. Basically, do what you love! Anne loved weddings and in a series of baby steps and smart moves (unpaid internship included), Anne crafted her passion for weddings into a career. She talks about trying different things and breaking rules. We agree that life would be awesome if everyone loved their job. What's up with WeddingWire, anyway? If WW had been around when Anne was planning her own wedding many years ago, she would have utilized the vendor lists on WW, first and foremost. WW sifts the vendor/venue search for you so you have a place to start. Descriptions, contact info, reviews, photos...it's all there for you in one place and you can narrow your search depending on your location and budget. Brilliant! The budget tool and the social apps also make things easy and fun...snapchat filters, hashtag generator...the practical and the playful - WeddingWire has it all. Let's talk about tech, baby! - An app for your guests - WedSocial . It's an app that you create and your guests can find all the info about your wedding, it is your wedding website, as an app. It's also a really cool way for everyone to share photos of the wedding, all in one place. - WeddingWire Snapchat filters. Creating a customized filter or border with the date...it's like having a portable photobooth all night long! - Hashtags - you come up with a fun hashtag, and then on Instagram and Facebook, all your guests can tag photos. Make a photo album from the hash-tagged photos! There's even a WeddingWire Hashtag Generator - Audio Visual is advancing like crazy. Lighting is key. Ask about gobos and image mapping on the walls...innovative and cool ways to customize an otherwise blank space Wedding Fashion - Trends are shifting from show-y, sexy wedding dresses, to more modest, traditional dresses...slowly but surely. Anne loves the high necks and long sleeves right now. Bows on dresses are also trendy right now - done in a modern way. - For men, we're seeing more grooms making fashion statements. Feather bow ties? Awesome! Men are expressing themselves more than ever - accessories, ties, changing suit jackets, slim cut suits. It's all good, gentlemen. What about same-sex weddings? The key is coordination - the style and formality need to coordinate. Not matchy-matchy. You and your partner need to be on the same ‘level' and if you're shopping for your wedding day outfits separately, consider bringing a friend to each shopping trip so you know you are going in the right direction. The most important thing is that your looks compliment each other. The biggest ‘surprise' player in weddings this year? Ice Cream has made a big impression this year and it's still going strong. - Old fashioned ice cream trucks - Sundae bars - Ice cream as performance (have you seen the liquid nitrogen ice cream makers? So cool.) - Fancy, playful ice cream as the dessert of a 5 course meal - Ice cream cake. It comes in cool colors, it's customizable, it's photogenic. Ice cream...who knew? Elements that are here to stay - Wedding Cakes are timeless. The cake cutting photo is iconic. Do it. You won't regret it! - Bridal bouquets are still huge - they complete the look for a bride. We aren't seeing brides toss the bouquet as often, but carrying a bouquet is here to stay. - The big ‘send off' is evolving and we all still love it. - Furniture and specialty rentals are huge right now and don't seem to be going anywhere. Links we referenced WeddingWire WedSocial Vow to Be Chic Menguin The Black Tux Black by Vera Wang Brackish Bow Ties Garter Girl Quotes “You are wedding-SICK, lady!” - Michelle, to Anne “Having so much at your fingertips makes it so much easier...it's all at one place, it's super easy to use and it's free.” - Anne, on the virtues of WeddingWire “The most important thing is for a couple to figure out early on what is important to them. Is it the fashion, is it the food...allocate the money to those areas. And you can find inexpensive ways to do the other things.” - Anne, advice for couples with a tighter budget “The time is now for men to own their wedding looks.” - Christy, who wants to support this movement “For flowers, we are seeing a lot of lush centerpieces, and a lot of greenery in centerpieces, which can offset some floral costs.” - Anne on flower trends “We went from cakes to cupcakes to dessert buffets to candy to donuts...now popsicles are huge.” - Anne, on wedding dessert evolution NOW HEAR THIS!
