Early Bird Wedding in California
We know you have probably heard it too many times to count, but we are going to say it again, get started sooner rather then later. Our next bride is a testament to that fact and she will tell you just how much she loved her early bird wedding in California, because she planned ahead!

To 1st Look or Not to 1st Look
If I could change or do anything differently I personally would have done a “first look.” My husband was very adamant about seeing me for the first time walking down the aisle which I respected and understood. I loved that moment where we saw each other and will never forget the look on his face.
However for picture/photography/ and time sake, I feel like a first look would have given us a little more photo opportunities since cocktail hour is limited. Other than that, the wedding was beautiful and I cannot thank my vendors enough for all of their inspiring work.
Forward Thinking
To all of the beautiful future brides out there, here is my piece of advice: Plan ahead. I was lucky enough to be about 98% done with everything for the wedding 5 months before the date. This way I was able to enjoy every single day until the actual wedding. I got to soak everything in and be excited rather than stressing/ pulling all-nighters to make name tags for the seating chart. Plan ahead, it makes wedding planning that much easier!
