Real Wedding

Sara + Davis

Since both Sara and Davis love the beach, they chose Torrey Pines State Park for their ceremony. They picked aqua and cherry red as their colors to accompany their travel themed reception hosted at The Museum of Contemporary Arts in La Jolla. Many of the guests were from out of town, so the couple invited them to a whole weekend of events.

Wedding Gift Registries

It is that time of year when ever weekend is filled with bridal showers and weddings with summer just around the corner that I thought I would help brides and guest alike with a little blog about registry. If you are looking for a gift for an upcoming wedding or looking for a bride who is super organized, here is a couple of things to keep in mind.

1. It is etiquette to purchase a gift that is, at least, equivalent to the cost of your present at a wedding...just do a mental tally favor, drink, food etc.

2. So many things have changed with registry and different accounts that brides set up with honeymoon funds etc however; the most common gift is china

3. Referring back to number two, because there are so many registries online, a lot of people don't like to just electronically just put money in an account and not have anything physical to give...think outside the box, sign the happy couple up for fun cooking classes. Chances are if they are signing up for honeymoon accounts or other unique registries, they will love something spontaneous.

The Original Runner Co.

 When planning my wedding in San Diego, some of the items I thought would be the easiest ended up be the hardest...never saw that one coming. Literally out of all the things to do, the hardest item on my checklist was the aisle runner. I looked far and wide and granted I was not the bride constantly searching the web because I had to do work and wrap up other things...life doesn't stop which makes me think the should be some type of leave you can go on when planning a wedding but that is for another blog day. Anyhoo, I found this company which does AMAZING runners that are not too traditional and fairly prices...some of them are hand painted! Click here to see more!
