This wedding venue, Casa Romantica, has one of the best views hands down.

(via these amazing men!)

I love this brides style!  Shot by the super talented Matthew Morgan.

The church is the one ‘vendor’ that we didn’t really have a choice on.  Bryan is catholic, that is the church we go to so that is the church we would be married in.  However, as a ‘vendor’ they dropped the ball a few too many times. But boy was it beautiful!!

(in this next picture… the priest had just likened me to the Virgin Mary.  !)

We were married at the Mission Basilica in San Juan Capistrano.

Tips: I don’t really have any since every church/ceremony venue is different. If you have any specific questions regarding it though, let me know in the comments section and I will answer them the best I can!

Images by Studio 7 Photography. They were awesome!!

One month ago today I married my love.  Time really does fly!

(Still no pro pics, I took these off of the slideshow!)

And last but not least the program mock ups. These are only vaguely similar to what the real ones will look like. The real ones will be one size bigger (the covers will be out of A2 paper and the inside will be half of than 11×17 sheet), the covers will be grey, and the type will go up and down so that it opens up left to right, rather than top to bottom. This was one where I tried to get it all to fit on half of a sheet of 8.5×11 paper and it just wasn’t fitting. There will be 4 panels. The Party will list everyone in the wedding party and the parents. The ceremony will list the officiant and then the order of service. Special thanks will be a little note from bryan and I and The reception will have the name and address of our reception location as well as a map. This will save me from having to print a whole other card for the directions to go in our invitation envelope. We have a website as well but last we checked only like 17 people had looked at it

So I was set on getting a ring bowl from palomas nest. They are cute, personalized and functional after the wedding. (I forget where I saw it but someone made theirs into an ornament after the wedding!!) And for $30 or so it isn’t a bad price. 

(this one would be perfect for us because my birthday is on St. Patricks day and Bryan is Irish!  From Martha) 

But then I think about the traditional ring pillow. It would be so easy to make (for my mom… I don’t have a sewing machine yet) and would be cute. But my question for you is, what do you plan on doing with it after the wedding? Do you keep it in a little memories box or something? What do you plan on doing with your? And if you aren’t doing a pillow or a ring bowl, what are you doing?!

I found another wedding at our location A few things I have to say about it:

1. I love her makeup

2. Is that a kids choir in the back? And if so, do they cost extra?!

3. I am thinking a few big floral pieces like this would be cool. Maybe a little lower… and in white vases?

4. We were told no flowers on the pews. Those, my friends, are flowers on the pews. Is it because I’m not Catholic? Oh well, it is cheaper to go without the pew flowers… it’s just strange…

5. How gorgeous is the inside?! I can’t wait

Thanks with all the opinions on the no favor idea! I think I can confidently go without them now I am thinking the bottles with little ribbon around them with a white little tag that says Thank you for joining us! on it, we will see

Today will bring more pictures from SMS Photography. What can I say? They have beautifully photographed some gorgeous weddings! 

I love this aisle decoration. So low key and elegant.  

They always know the right thing to say/show For example, Snippet and ink’s Real Wedding Sunday, which confirmed my thoughts on my non-flower girl girls
