Couples getting married on August 31, 2019 in California

Hi!
Im getting married at Avensole Winery in Temecula I have all the main things planned so now I’m just anxiously awaiting the date!
I just ordered my Save the Dates yesterday (I have lots of guests flying in from out of the country so I want to get them out asap).
What about you?

Hello everyone!

I am am getting married at the church of our savior in San Gabriel! So exited to be married at such a beautiful venue 😍 so far I have about half of the wedding planned, what about you guys?

Congrats to you all! Is Cali your current home or will this be a destination wedding for anyone? Was it easy to choose your venues?

Hello Jo!
Los Angeles is my current home actually, and the venue that I ultimately picked was based on word of mouth, I had already put down a deposit for another venue and a restaurant owner here highly recommended it 😊🤗

View Quoted Comment Congratulations! You’re on top of it! Have you done your engagement shoot already? What are you working on next?
We have booked our photographer, videographer, and hair and make up. We are researching floral and DJs currently. I will feel a lot more relaxed once those two things are booked. Our venue does the catering and linens. We have the tasting the last weekend of September. It’s all coming together!!

View Quoted Comment Congratulations!! That’s awesome that you have half of the wedding planned. I hope you’re enjoying the planning process and your engagement! Have you decided where you’re going on a honeymoon? What do you have left to plan?

Yes, we did our engagement shoot! I'm a teacher and one of my student's mom is a photographer and gifted me with the shoot Most of our guests are coming from out of the country so we wanted to get the pics done early to send our Save the Dates out early so people have time to book flights. We just got the Save the Dates in the mail from Minted so will send those out this week!

Yes, booking the photographer and hair/make up takes a big weight off your shoulders! Our venue also does the catering and linen which is a big relief!

That's exciting your tasting is so soon! Ours isn't until 6 months before.
After our Save the Dates are sent out we're going to take a break from wedding planning for a bit, aside from Honeymoon research (we're planning on Tahiti and Bora Bora)!

View Quoted Comment That’s awesome! We are planning our engagement shoot for this fall and looking at minted too!

You will love Bora Bora! We went there last summer. It’s so amazing! Try to start your scuba diving certification before you go. I did the online class and pool portion less than a month before I went. I did my training dives in Bora Bora and saw 10 feet manta rays my first dive! We went through Diveasy at Le Meridien. It’s so beautiful and relaxing there! Make sure you bring your own emergency kit (band aids, medications, etc) because it’s pretty limited unless you take the ferry to the main island. Poisson cru is delicious (raw tuna in coconut milk). Last thing, I got bit by mosquitos a lot so bring lots of bug spray, citronella candles, etc. So excited for you!!

My fiance and I are getting married at El Macero Country Club in Davis California! I can't wait for our wedding! We are working to put our deposit down on a photographer and videographer right now 😁 When are you guys going dress shopping? I'm so excited to go in early November 👰❤️🤵

Hello everyone!

We are getting married at Haggin Oaks Golf Club in Sacramento. We have all of the big stuff out of the way and now just meeting with the florist tomorrow. Just ordered my dress this weekend. So excited and it has been pretty stress free and fun... so far.

We are planning on going to Costa Rica for our honeymoon.

Hope everyone is having fun along the way

Hi ladies, we're getting married in Chino at the Planes of Fame Air museum. I'm in nursing school right now and working so I seem not to have a ton of time for planning. So my breaks is when the majority of our planning will take place. Planning on trying on gowns in November. I love tacos and he loves burgers so we are thinking about having 2 food trucks, then a soft serve ice cream truck; it's August which is crazy hott our ceremony will be out side so I'm thinking of renting a tent to put outside but not 100% sure or maybe have it inside at a separate location... We are doing a 1920's theme.
Happy Planning Ladies!!!!

Hello ladies,

I’m getting married in Glendale, California at the Dream Palace Banquet Hall! I’m new to this area so the prices for everything ia shocking me!(Originally from the Midwest).

View Quoted Comment A 1920s theme sounds so fun! How did you choose that? I love the food trucks! Our venue does the catering. We are going to do a bbq buffet!

View Quoted Comment Yes, the prices in California are very different from most states. The California forums have a lot of good insight into what’s “normal” here.

How's planning going? When is everyone sending their invites?

View Quoted Comment Hi! Planning is going well! Working on the wording for our invites. I am thinking of sending them out about 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding. Our wedding is destination so most people already know if they’re going or not since they booked their hotel accommodations. Also my FH will probably have to reach out to most of his friends for their RSVP. I am guessing we won’t find out and hear from everyone by the rsvp deadline.
Other than invites, I am shopping for accessories for my dress like shoes and veil. My FH has an appointment to go get suits with his groomsmen. It’s mostly little details. I am keeping an eye out for a cute card box. My bridal shower is this weekend! We are almost down to 100 days! It’s so exciting!

Hi there!

I haven't been posting on WW very much but recently started getting more involved.

My FH and I are having a short engagement (5 1/2) months total and we have almost everything done. Just need to send out the invites and am planning to do that right around the 4th of July. We are getting married at our church in Lancaster, CA and are having a brunch wedding from 10:00-2:00 then taking a mini-moon cruise the day after. Can't wait, we are almost in the double digit count down!

View Quoted Comment Congratulations! A brunch wedding sounds so fun!! I love that you’re doing a cruise right after! Where are you going on the cruise?

View Quoted Comment

Thank you! We are doing the 4 day Catalina/Ensenada cruise out of Long Beach. Since we live in So Cal so it will only take us about 2 1/2 hours to drive to the cruise port. I have been on a cruise in the Bahamas before but FH has never cruised. I talked him into getting the Junior Suite so we can have a balcony! I am very much looking forward to it

We are getting married in Davis California at El Macero Country Club! I think planning is going well but I am sure I am forgetting to do a lot of stuff lol
