If you want to join the personal style industry, it’s probably a good idea to have a general understanding of makeup as well. For many people, makeup is just as crucial to the outfit coordination process as shoes or accessories. According to NYIAD makeup expert Suzana Halili, the following tips are reliable for you to share with any client you work with in the future:
As a wedding planner, you should learn to accommodate brides and grooms from a multitude of cultural backgrounds. A largely important aspect of this training involves brushing up on a variety of diverse wedding traditions. For the next few months, we’ll be sharing some traditional wedding customs from around the world every week, starting with today’s – Amish weddings.
One of the most important differences in planning an Amish wedding starts as early on as the invitation process. Unlike those used for other events, these invites shouldn’t be mailed. Traditionally in Amish culture, the engaged couple is expected to personally hand deliver their wedding invitations to their guests’ homes.
Secondly, the bride’s attire will be different in a customary Amish wedding ceremony. Rather than buying an extravagant white gown as typical of other weddings, an Amish bride will instead wear ordinary ‘Sunday clothing’ on her wedding day. She may buy something new for the special occasion, but not an excessive wedding-specific gown.
Third, the timing of an Amish wedding is significant in their culture. They are held exclusively after the harvest season, and typically midweek.
