letter to readersDear readers,
We at Yakima Valley Bride magazine re-
ally loved putting this issue together. In it,
you’ll find a lot of fun subjects, like deli-
cious (trust us!) cupcakes, gorgeous flower
options, hair and makeup tips and — of
course — a glimpse into some fabulous lo-
cal weddings.
Something new this issue is Ask Lisa, our
new beauty column. Lisa Kime is the Yaki-
ma Herald-Republic’s advertising manager
by day (and an all-around amazing woman
we might add), but she’s also an expert on
hair and makeup. If you need day-of beauty
advice, she’s your gal; just email her at
lkime@yakimaherald.com.
Yakima Valley Bride has also expanded its
website, yakimabride.com. It’s always served
as a comprehensive local resource directory,
with listing after listing of where brides and
grooms can go to find everything under the
sun wedding related. But now we’re includ-
ing more stories and advice — from this
edition and past issues — as well as pictures
and details on the local weddings our read-
ers love so much.
We wish you well as you plan your own
nuptials, and hope you’ve found some
interesting ideas in these pages and on the
website. After your wedding, we’d love to
see pictures — and maybe publish them
too — just email your contact info and
a few pictures from your wedding to our
Niche Products Coordinator Scott Klepach
(sklepach@yakimaherald.com) or mail
them to the address on page 8. Who knows?
Your wedding might be the one that inspires
a future bride.
Thank you — and congratulations!
Yakima Valley Bride staff

Chris and Rachel share a moment before their wedding.
Perspective |by Robin salts beCkett
IIf you’re a brIde planning her wed-
ding, I’ll bet you’ve heard — much like
I did when I was planning my own —
mountains of advice from well-meaning
friends and family. I have found that the
advice one receives when getting married
pales only in comparison to the advice one
receives when pregnant (egads). but don’t
shut your ears to all of it — there’s at least
one gem out there. In my opinion, it’s one
of the tired clichés that still bears repeat-
ing: Don’t sweat the small stuff.
blech, right?
but before you turn the page, let me tell
you a little story about a wedding full of
“small stuff.”
Last year my 40 year-old brother, Chris,
announced that he’d like to marry his
young fiancée, rachel, at my parents’
house in yakima. He wanted a very small
family affair — maybe 20 people. To top
it off, he wanted my
mom and me to plan it.
Chris didn’t have many
requests, and rachel,
whom he met while on a vacation in the
Philippines, didn’t either. They live in
alaska, so it was really up to us. yay!
My mom — a consummate party throw-
er and decorator — and I were giddy. It
was like we were playing “wedding shop.”
How fun, right? I think I even said out
loud, “a wedding in two months? WHaT
CouLd Go WroNG?” or something
equally as ridiculous.
My mom and I spent evenings musing
on how we’d decorate, what music we’d
choose for the ceremony and the recep-
tion, the food, the flowers…all the fun
cutesy stuff.
We planned to use my parents’ backyard
for the ceremony (won’t the fountain be
darling? we thought) and move the recep-
tion indoors. We’d decorate with simple

aisle markers and different vases filled
with uncomplicated flowers, like hydran-
geas. The food would be catered — Chris
and Rachel’s only request was to include a
nod to Rachel’s Filipino culture — so that
would be simple too. My dear friend Karri,
who is an amazing cook and baker, would
make the cake — three tiers of coconut! My
talented friend and colleague Chad would
take the pictures. My husband, bless his
heart, would be the officiant — as soon as
he got his certification online. We hadn’t
really done much except dream, but every-
thing was going swimmingly.
Only it wasn’t.
Work for me the week prior to the wed-
ding was tough: I was in the middle of a
project that required all of my attention.
At night, I was ordering napkins for the
wedding and figuring out last-minute
details — oh, and being a mommy to my
2 year-old. My mom — a people pleaser
who doesn’t know how to say “no” — was
taking care of the “venue,” but she was also
recovering from back surgery. She was, as
usual, not complaining about some of her
pesky pains … that were getting worse.
The Monday evening prior to the wed-
ding I got a phone call while discussing
cake details with Karri. It was bad news: my
grandma was in the hospital with what they
thought was a stroke. The next day I got my
second phone call: my mom was in the hos-
pital with complications from her surgery.
But wait, dear reader — it gets better.
Through some mind-blowing scheduling
gaffe, I realized that I had also promised
to volunteer at a fundraiser Friday night

(the evening before the wedding), and my
husband and I forgot that friends from
out-of-town were planning to visit us that
weekend … TO MAKE GRAPE JELLY IN
OUR KITCHEN.
The craziest part by far, however, was that
we decided to soldier on with the wedding.
We changed the venue to my house — my
mom just wasn’t up to it, and we changed
the day to Sunday instead of Saturday, to
give us some extra time to clean up the grape
stains from my white floor. This screwed up
my pre-printed napkins, but alas.
But herein lies my point: The napkins
don’t matter. The cake topper doesn’t matter.
Heck, not even the cake really matters (but it
was good). That’s the small stuff.
The important stuff is the people around
you — your friends and your family. In this
case, my brother, whom I hardly ever get
to see, and his new wife, both crying in my
living room.
As it turned out, my grandma’s stroke
was minor, and both she and my mom were
soon released from the hospital and on the
mend. And Chris and Rachel got married.
No one saw — or at least cared — about the
napkins’ imprint. Or the fact that I was the
DJ. Or that my husband was the internet-
endorsed officiant. …or those grape stains.
None of that small stuff mattered to
anybody. Just the big stuff … a room full
of love.

Celebrate your big day… with cupcakes
CCupCakes aren’t just for the little
ones anymore. In fact, these delectable mor-
sels can pack fun, versatility and elegance
into one small but heavenly punch.
Folks began to use cupcakes for special
occasions — including weddings — several
years ago, but they’re hotter than ever now.
“It’s a trend. It’s been around for a couple
of years, but it’s not showing signs of going
away anytime soon,” says janice richards,
who just opened Yakima’s Mon Petit
Gateau CuPCakery in april.
richards says she believes cupcakes are
popular today because they are a way of
reclaiming the nostalgia of our youth.
“It’s a fun little dessert,” she says. “It
reminds you when you were a kid. It’s a feel-
good comfort food.”
and they’re also great for big occa-
sions. richards has seen a variety of uses

for cupcakes at weddings. Some couples
offer a small cake at the top tier of a cake
display, with cupcakes filling out the rest
of the tiers below.
Cupcakes are economical as well as
versatile, Richards says, so couples can
provide a variety of flavors and special se-
lections, such as gluten-free options. Plus,
you don’t have to cut cupcakes, and guests
can eat more than one.

“We’ve had a lot of people order for
bridal showers and weddings more and
more,” says Lana Wharton of Truly
ScrumpTiouS Bakery in Yakima’s
Track 29 shopping center.
Wharton says her most popular flavor is
red velvet followed by coconut cream. But
orders for weddings and bridal showers
run the flavor gamut. For one shower she
made chocolate cupcakes filled with fresh
strawberries and cream with a strawberry
topping. Wharton offers vegan and gluten-
free varieties as well.

restaurant Café Melange last year. In a
previous Yakima Herald-Republic article
Rembold said that one of her favorite
things to do at the restaurant was experi-
ment with different desserts.
Rembold stocks cupcakes at The Garden
Girl’s Kitchen in downtown Yakima, and
she says that lemon cupcakes are a favorite
of her customers right now. She also makes

ingredients as much as possible. Her fondant
cupcakes are tiny works of art.
While cupcakes are popular, cheesecake
may take, well, the cake. But what if you
could have the best of both worlds?
“Cheesecake’s kind of a trend right
now,” says Elizabeth Fitzgerald, the admin-
istrator at St. John of KronStadt
orthodox ChriStian SChool.
The school has begun making cheesecake
cupcakes as a way to raise funds for its
scholarships and operations. And it just
so happens that they are delicious and
becoming quite popular. Wedding couples
can also select one of St. John’s “take away”
cakes to freeze until their first anniversary.
That cake is heavier than what you’d find
in a cupcake and is six inches round.
Denser than a typical cupcake, St. John’s
cheesecakes are rich and decadent. But if
you’re asking us, any cupcake is worth a
taste test.

Selecting the right flowerS is one of the biggest
decisions a couple makes when planning a wedding. And it’s not
just the flowers — it’s the all-important question of color.
the good news is, it looks like more and more brides — and
grooms — are deciding to follow their own style, and that means
there are many more options on the table.

popular year for brown, this year weddings
are coming alive with more intense colors.
“Weddings this year are kind of different,”
Osborn says. “A lot of brides this year are
going more with lots of colors,” especially
purple, red, and orange.
Sometimes, says Osborn, all of these col-
ors are used in one arrangement.
Big changes year to year are expected, Os-
born says. This year many of her clients are
using lilies and Gerbera daisies as well.
“I don’t know if it’s [from] magazines,
or just personal preference, but every year
there’s something that’s kind of a pattern,”
Osborn says.
The shift could also have to do with more
options being available.
“There are so many more ideas out there
now than 10 to 15 years ago,” says Younker,
who agrees that expanding choices might be
due to the influence of magazines and wed-
ding “reality” shows on television.
“Girls are putting their personalities in
it,” she continues. “A couple years ago, it
was pretty traditional, but each year it’s
getting more exciting. Their personalities
are coming out.”

Fall offers plenty of texture, Younker says,
no matter if you stick to deeper fall tones or
go with bright colors.
“So many things are in bloom in the fall,”
she says. “Beautiful berries and dahlias are
popular, and cool grasses. You really get
interesting textures in the fall you cannot get
throughout the rest of the year.”
Yakima Valley Bride Magazine asked this question on Facebook: “Yakima brides-to-be…what flowers are you using at your wedding?”
Cynthia P.: “Gerbera daisies :) My
favorite!”
Lindsay W.: “Dahlias! & Sunflowers!”
Kalea H.: “Peonies!”
Leslie M.: “Hot chocolate mini
callas, lavendar roses “Cool Water”
to be exact, lavendar alstro, white
freesia and green trachelium!”

Q. I have long hair and I’m thinking I should wear it in some sort of updo, but I’d much rather wear it down and natural. I’m afraid that natural will look disheveled by the end of the day. Any recommendations?
A. This is your day, so don’t be afraid to
wear your hair down! What’s important
is finding the right style for you. While
thinking about your wedding day style
take into consideration your face shape,
hair length and your gown and headpiece.
I suggest looking though a few magazines
to find styles you like. Then schedule an
appointment with your hairdresser at least
a few weeks before your wedding for a trial
run. Bring along your headpiece. Let him or
her know that you want a natural look, but a
style that can also stand up to a long day of
picture taking and hugs. One style I would
recommend is the half up, half down look.
This style is universally flattering while still
looking fairly effortless.
If you are doing your own hair or just
want to make sure your stylist is using prod-
ucts that can keep you looking fresh all day, I
recommend using the Nick Chavez Amazon
Hair Body Building Spray ($19 at Ulta) and
Nick Chavez Volumizing Extra Hold Spray
($23 at Ulta). Both products will hold your

style and keep your hair looking wedding
day perfect so you can enjoy your big day!
Q. My skin is very oily, and I’m afraid it
will be too shiny for all my wedding-day
pictures. What do I do?
A. Oily skin can be a challenge, but with a
little preparation and the right products you
can look great in your wedding photos.
After cleansing and moisturizing, apply a
lightweight primer. If you are quite oily, skip
the moisturizer and go straight to primer.
I love Pur Minerals’ primer ($31 at Ulta).
It gives your skin a silky feel, hides imper-
fections and keeps your makeup in place.
Pur Minerals has a green tinted formula
if your skin is on the ruddy side, too. Next
step is to apply foundation and concealer as
usual, then follow up with an oil-absorbing
powder. An oil absorbing powder is essential
to keeping shine down. I like Urban Decay’s
De-Slick Mattifying Powder ($29 at Ulta).
It’s lightweight and colorless and is amazing
at soaking up oil! It also comes in a pretty
compact with a mirror and is great under
and over your make-up. Urban Decay also
makes a spray version of De-Slick that you

can use alone or in combination with the
powder compact. This is a makeup setting
spray that won’t clog pores and cause break-
outs. Partner these two products together for
max oil absorption!
I also like Tarte’s Smooth Operator Mi-
cronized Finishing Powder ($28 at Ulta).
This is a loose colorless powder that soaks
up surface oils to mattify skin; just keep
in mind this is a loose powder and not
a compact, so it’s not quite as portable.
Lastly, make sure you pack your make-
up bag with oil-absorbing sheets for a
quick touch-up. If you haven’t tried these
wonderful little sheets yet, they are a must
for those of us with oily skin. There’s quite
a few different brands to choose from and
honestly I haven’t found one that much
different than the others.
Last but not least, if you need a quick
de-shine and you’re all out of products,
use a toilet seat cover! Just tear, blot and
shine is gone. It’s a great trick and no one
will be the wiser!
By day Lisa Kime is the Yakima Herald-Republic’s advertising manager, but she does more than dabble in makeup — she loves the stuff. During her off hours, you’ll find her boating with her husband, Randy, or milling the aisles at Ulta.

NAMES Melinda Morin and Freddy Mendoza p OCCUPATIONS She’s an accountant and he’s a finish carpenter p THEY
LIVE IN Terrace Heights p THEY MET at a party in 2001: “Freddy told me that he knew the moment that he saw me that
I was ‘the one.’” p HE PROPOSED on the observatory deck at the Space Needle. “Our kids were with us, which made the
moment so much more meaningful.” p CEREMONY AND RECEPTION WERE HELD at Apple Tree Resort p NUMBER
OF GUESTS “I planned for 225 … we ended up having 300 — the more the merrier right?” p NUMBER OF ATTEN-
DANTS 10 p COLORS WERE Los Angeles Lakers purple (“It’s the only way I could get Freddy motivated for the color
purple”), white, silver and black p TRADITIONAL OR UNUSUAL? A little of both. “I wanted to make sure that we em-
braced both our cultures: the Hispanic side and the Asian side.” p THEY MADE fun favors from take-out boxes that were
filled with trinkets like personalized chopsticks and Vero lollipops p EVERYBODY LOVED “the food!” Apple Tree created
an Asian/Mexican fusion menu that “did not disappoint.” p FAVORITE MOMENT The sand ceremony, which represents
the blending of a family. “It was important to us that the kids know that they [are] just as much a part of this union.”
p THEY SPENT THEIR WEDDING NIGHT at Apple Tree’s “Stay and Play” house, which overlooks the golf course p
THEY WERE JOYFUL BECAUSE of the many people who traveled to be with them. “There have been so many people
that have been rooting for us and to have them there on our big day — words cannot express our gratitude.”
