Room Number
“To determine the number of rooms needed
for a wedding block, I recommend couples
go through their list of guests and try their
best to determine who will be attending the
wedding. Then determine how many will be
driving two hours or more and flying in for
the wedding — those are the guests that will
typically stay over. In a destination location
like Cape Cod, some people may want to take
a vacation day before and/or after. You may
want to send out e-mails and ask guests what
their plans are.” – Linda Fish of the Fairfield by
Marriott Cape Cod Hyannis, fairfieldhyannis.com
When to Wax
“Brides typically come in for waxing services three to five days in
advance, depending on the events they may have planned for the
week of the wedding. Brides that are on a regular waxing routine
or who have booked an extended honeymoon may opt to come
in as little as two days prior. Please note: If you have never waxed
before, I strongly suggest scheduling a trial run a month before
the wedding. Prior to booking waxing services, do some research.
Not all professional waxers and waxes are created equal! Don’t
be shy… Ask for referrals from friends and family, read up on
salon reviews and inquire about waxing prerequisites/etiquette.”

Icing on the Cake
“Couples this season are mix-and-matching to their hearts’
content, some choosing a smaller, two-tiered cake with
accompanying mini pastries, while others are going for a
‘deconstructed’ display with individual cakes complementing
one another. When it comes to tiered cakes, tall, sleek and
modern is the way to go. The concrete buttercream look
dressed up with big, colorful flowers like dahlias is one of
my current favorites! The most popular cake flavor this past
summer was easily coconut almond, paired with herbal and
tea buttercreams and summer fruit jam fillings.”
