The guest list is a very difficult piece to any wedding. It’s a balancing act between two families, friends and family, and the almighty BUDGET. It is no wonder that after thinking long and hard about WHO to invite that we spent a lot of time (not to mention money) on our invitations. I ordered custom [...]

One of the first wedding decisions we made was the caterer. Why? Because our 3 main wedding must-haves are: 1. good food, 2. drinks, 3. dancing.

Most of my fiance’s friends and family, as well as a handful of my part of the guest list will be coming from across the country. We want to make sure they know we appreciate them spending money on the trip out to join us and welcome them to San Francisco. I believe we will [...]

Now that you’ve seen our stunning venue, I thought I’d spend a minute introducing our theme and colors (a la Miss Lemon Drop). Mr. CC and I decided (a long time ago) that our wedding vibe is going to be simple, yet elegant. Keeping with this, Mr. CC requested that our colors be [...]
