editor’s letter

Ok, it’s not really the last time we’ll say it, but

you get the point...HIRE PROFESSIONALS. Why?

Because things happen on your wedding day; having

professionals on your team can be the difference

between having the most amazing day or having a

day that everyone talks about for years to come for

all the wrong reasons. And, truly, we can attest to this

firsthand. At one of our styled shoots for this issue, our

real couple models had to pull out of the shoot, due to

illness, the night before the shoot. Did we panic? No,

we didn’t. We kicked it into high gear; made some calls

to our planner and to our attire partners; and secured

a replacement couple. We solved the challenge within

an hour’s time. And no one was the wiser the next day

on the shoot. Professionals. True professionals who

are dedicated to their craft and to your wedding. They

handle the issues. You get to have all the fun.

The professionals featured in the pages of Real

Weddings, on RealWeddingsMag.com, and on all of our

social channels want nothing more than to help you

create the wedding day of your dreams. They know

how to make it happen. They know how to manage

hiccups (like the one we had for our styled shoot). And,

when you find them through Real Weddings, please tell

NOPE. I CANNOT RESIST A GOOD PHOTO BOMB! FROM OUR “LOVE IN THE GARDEN” STYLED SHOOT

AT PARK WINTERS IN SEPTEMBER 2025 them—we’ll appreciate it, and they’ll appreciate it!

Now, let’s get planning! In this issue, we’ve got

massive photo shoot inspiration, with four stunning

styled shoots, each with unique themes. On each of these

shoots, we had a great time playing dress up and working

with talented design teams to create inspiring décor sets.

Oh, and if you want

to see more photos

from any of our

shoots, be sure to

tune in to our website for each photo shoots’ blog series—we’ll overwhelm you with more gorgeousness!

From “Things We Love,” “Signature Cocktails,” and our “Events” columns, to the featured real weddings and

featured wedding pros in our “Style Files: The White List Directory,” and every page in between, this issue is

bursting at the seams! Get inspired. Find your vendors. Plan the day of your dreams...all with Real Weddings: the

magazine, website, blog, mobile directory, and social media.

FOR THE LAST TIME...

HIRE PROFESSIONALS

When you find your wedding dream team through Real Weddings—

the magazine, blog, website, mobile directory, and our social media sites—

be sure to tell your wedding pros that you found them through Real Weddings and

that you’re a Real Weddings’ reader; without their support, we simply couldn’t do

what we do to inspire you!

(Oh, and P.S. Tell them that you’re a Real Weddings’ reader because a lot of our partners have special

offers exclusively for our readers. You can get a sneak peek of them on our website at: realweddingsmag.com/

special-offers.)

As always, dear readers, happy planning!

WE’RE HERE TO INSPIRE YOU!

NATACHAJOLENE.COM

Before you head out to the area’s wedding shows, check out this handy list of tips to make the most of the

experience:

• Get a dedicated “wedding” email address—you’ll want to have a specific email address just for planning

your wedding. You’ll be getting a lot of information sent to the email that you register with at wedding shows,

so it’s nice to have it all in one place separate from your work and/or personal email.

• Bring labels—many vendors offer prizes and contests, and

additionally, you may want to request more information from

selected vendors. By bringing pre-printed labels, you’ll save time

and the hassle of having to complete this information booth after

booth. Information that you might want to include: Your name,

address, phone, email (see bullet point above!), fiancé’s/fiancée’s

name and when you’re getting married.

• Don’t go it alone—bring one of your attendants, your mom or a

friend (or dare we suggest, your fiancé/fiancée?). It will be helpful

(and more fun!) to have their input and advice.

• Bring a notebook—no matter how good your memory is you’ll

want to take notes on vendors and ideas that catch your eye.

• Bring a sturdy tote bag—you’ll be picking up business cards,

brochures, etc. and it’s easier to stash it in a tote than try to carry it

all in your hands...especially if you want to sample some of the yummy temptations offered at a lot

of the events! Or, come to the shows where Real Weddings will be. Stop by our booth, and we’ll

give you one of our groovy reusable bags!

NEWS.

...and fun!

Real Weddings is here to inspire and guide you through the

plethora of talented wedding professionals in our area, but

we also love to clue you in to what’s going on in the wedding

world—whether it’s to share accomplishments, a romantic

story, useful tips, cool products, or just something fun.

Wedding planning is hard. It’s stressful. It’s tiring. But it can

also be a whole lot of fun! Here, we’ll take your mind off of

wedding planning (if only for a bit) and share tidbits from

every corner of the wedding world. So, grab a drink, put your

feet up, and discover what’s going on (and things we love) in

the wonderful world of weddings!

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW...

Carole Kenney Design’s custom bridal bags are the perfect “day-of”

accessory—beautiful, meaningful, and crafted with the kind of care that

turns a simple clutch into a treasured keepsake.

Each bag is thoughtfully designed to sit discreetly at the bride’s table,

ready to hold her essentials, yet stunning enough to be photographed and

admired, adding a meaningful detail to the day. Light, elegant, and effortless

to hold, it’s the kind of piece that elevates every moment without ever

drawing too much attention to itself.

And it’s more than just a bag. Kenney creates these luxurious clutches

not only from fabric left over from the bride’s altered gowns, but also from

older family gowns—like a grandmother’s or mother’s wedding dress—

preserving the fabric, lace, and history in a way that feels incredibly

personal. It becomes a modern

Custom bridal bag made from

mother-of-bride’s wedding gown accessory with the heart of an

heirloom.

Perfect for the bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, bachelorette party, and

of course, the wedding day, this is the kind of “something special” a

bride carries with pride. Kenney’s bags are delicate, sentimental, and Custom bridal bag made from

one-of-a-kind timeless keepsakes, handcrafted for grandmother’s wedding gown

the bride who cherishes beauty and meaning.

And for those looking for something ready to gift, Kenney also offers beautifully

crafted in-stock bags, made from exquisite fabrics and designed with the same

artistry and attention to detail. These pieces are instantly giftable, making them

the perfect present for your bridesmaids, mother of the bride, or anyone who loves

something gorgeous and thoughtfully made.

In-stock bag

RADIANT SKIN

FOR THE BIG DAY

I love getting older, but I’m not necessarily loving the

dark spots and deepening wrinkles that come along

with it, so I’m always on the lookout for beauty products

and devices that will help me get my “glow” on. Recently

the VEAUTY Dot (veautystore.com) landed in my social

feed, and I decided to give it a try. Their promise of “cliniclevel

skincare tech at home” with their fractional radio

frequency device that delivers more youthful, radiant skin from 14 days admittedly sounded ambitious, but once

I started using it, I could see why people love it. The device feels well-made, the instructions are simple, and the

website makes everything—from ordering to tracking—super straightforward.

After about two weeks of consistent use, I noticed my skin looking smoother and a bit firmer, with smaller-looking

pores and more radiant skin. Nothing dramatic overnight, but definitely the kind of subtle, real improvement that

keeps you motivated to stick with it. I also appreciate that they’re realistic about results and back everything with a 60-

day money-back guarantee—it makes trying something new way less intimidating. The VEAUTY Dot is easy to use,

feels genuinely effective, and gives you that “I’m taking my skincare seriously” feeling without being overwhelming.

IT’S A SNAP!

In a world where changing bedding can feel like a chore,

Snap Duvet (snapduvet.com) stands out as refreshingly

clever, thoughtful, and user-friendly. The idea was

born from a simple but pressing problem: bedding

constantly getting ruined by pet accidents, messy

paws, and everyday wear. Invented by El Dorado Hills

locals Michael and Jessica Bruns specifically because

their French Bulldog, Fifi, “would leave skid marks and

paw dirt all over our duvet”and because top sheets and

traditional blankets just slid right off the bed.

What Snap Duvet offers is elegant in its simplicity.

The kit includes a durable base and a snap-on top sheet

that attaches in minutes, so instead of wrestling with a

full duvet cover, you just snap on a fresh top whenever

it’s needed. This clever, hassle-free bedding system is,

well, a snap—it lets you refresh your bed in seconds.

Snap Duvet is smart, stylish, and built to last—

perfect for busy families, pet owners, or anyone who

wants a cleaner, easier way to keep their bedding fresh.

With thoughtful materials, practical functionality, and

the heart of a true local small business, Snap Duvet

brings comfort and convenience that genuinely makes

a difference. Add it to your wedding gift registry...trust

us, you’ll love it!

OBSESSED!

Individual cakes at weddings are

such a vibe right now—elegant,

portioned, and they make

every guest feel a little extra

Indi-Cake by

special...and we’re completely

Beasley & Sons Bakery

obsessed with them!

Who can blame us? Indi-cakes are the true scenestealers

of modern weddings. These tiny towers

of joy give every guest their own little dessert

moment—no sharing, no waiting in line, no “is this

slice big enough?” anxiety. Just instant, personal

cake bliss.

delights? Check out our “Love in

ANATOMY OF AN INVITATION SUITE

There’s something timeless about receiving a wedding invitation

in the mail—the soft tear of the envelope, the delicate weight of

the cardstock, the promise of a celebration ahead. But beyond

the romance of the moment lies a surprisingly intricate craft: the

wedding invitation suite. A true reflection of a couple’s story,

the suite sets the tone for the event long before the first glass of

Champagne is poured.

The Main Event—The Invitation Card: At the heart of every

Invitation Suite by The Stylish Scribe suite is the invitation itself. This piece announces the who,

what, when, and where of the celebration. Traditional designs

favor formal wording (“request the honor of your presence”), while modern couples might lean into minimalist typography

or watercolor artistry. The invitation card often dictates the suite’s overall aesthetic, not to mention the wedding’s theme—

from paper weight and printing technique to color palette and monogram. PRO TIP: Jessica Nicely at The Stylish Scribe

(renoweddinginvitations.com) recommends that “clients reach out six months before their wedding if not sooner for wedding

invitations, and even earlier for their save-the-dates. This allows for design time and production time.”

Supporting Cast—The Enclosure Cards: A complete suite typically includes

several supporting pieces, each serving a specific purpose. The details card houses

information that doesn’t fit on the main invitation—think accommodations, dress

code, or transportation logistics. The RSVP card (or its modern digital equivalent,

though here at Real Weddings, we always prefer the print version!) invites guests to

confirm attendance and note meal preferences. For destination weddings, additional

Detail-Obsessed Wedding Planner + Event Designer

inserts like itinerary cards or welcome notes often join the mix. PRO TIP: Lonna Yen

dragonflyeventsandco.com

at Ink Furie Calligraphy Studio (inkfurie.com) recommends creating a spreadsheet

@dragonflyeventsco

of all your invited guests and assign each a number; then put that number on the

back of the reply card. That way, if they forget to put their name on the RSVP card,

you have an easy way to figure it who it belongs to.

The envelope might seem like an afterthought, but it’s the first tactile introduction to the

event. Many suites often feature double envelopes—an inner envelope that protects the

contents, nested within an outer mailing envelope. Calligraphy, wax seals, and custom

stamps add layers of personality, making the recipient’s first glimpse as meaningful as

what lies inside.

Timing Is Everything: When it comes to sending invitations, etiquette and logistics

intertwine. Your save-the-dates should be mailed six to eight months in advance (longer

for destination weddings). The full invitation suite typically follows two to

Invitation Suite by Keegan Lane Creative three months before the wedding day, allowing guests ample time to RSVP.

Digital reminders or wedding websites can complement the paper suite, but

the physical invitation remains unmatched in elegance and sentiment. PRO TIP: Emily Keegan at Keegan Lane Creative

(keeganlanecreative.com) suggests “adding buffer time for addressing envelopes, assembling layers, and making it all perfect.

Especially if you’re hand-tying ribbons or using vintage stamps, both fabulous, but both time-consuming.”

A Keepsake of Love: Beyond its practical purpose, a wedding invitation suite is a keepsake—a tangible artifact of love,

design, and tradition. Many couples frame their invitations or preserve them in wedding albums, a small but lasting reminder

of the day everything began. PRO TIP: Remember to give your invitation suite, along

with all of your wedding paperie and signage to your wedding photographer so that

they can create a beautiful flat lay. Lauren Iida at Thick and Thin Lines Calligraphy

(thickandthinlines.com) suggests asking your photographer to include your wedding

shoes in your flat lay, saying “Some stationers loathe that, but I think it’s fun—and I

love shoes! I also think wax seals and wax stamps are great to include, especially if

your invitation suite included wax seals. For an outdoor and/or destination wedding I

think it’s fun to include an outdoor element like a pine cone or sea

shell or maybe a cool rock from the desert.”

VIVE LA FRENCH TOILE

As a self-proclaimed Francophile, when our friends at MG

To celebrate the linen’s debut, Frida Sarabia at MG Linen

Supply curated a styled shoot with talented local creatives

and says the inspiration for the shoot “was the origins of

French Toile, a textile known for its intricate storytelling. We

wanted to take this piece and give it a modern touch, so

we used it as a foundation and focus to create something

that feels both classic and relevant to today’s design trends.

Organizing the shoot in front of the cathedral gave the fabric

a sense of old-world charm while allowing the pattern,

texture, and color to speak for themselves. The process

was about balance: honoring the heritage of the print while

showcasing how it can seamlessly fit into contemporary

celebrations.”

MG Linen Supply’s French Toile is sure to be a hit! And,

BLING WITHOUT THE WORRY

If you’re looking for jewelry

that combines real sparkle

with everyday ease, Kait

Carr (kaitcarr.com) has

nailed it. Their signature

piece, the Luxury Travel

Ring, is designed for real

life—travel, motherhood,

daily wear—without

the worry of losing your sparkle or

downtime stressing over your ring.

What I love: They use labgrown

diamonds—genuine

diamonds created from advanced

tech, delivering the same

brilliance and shine as mined Founder Kait Carroll

stones but with ethical, conflictfree

credentials.

The brand story is deeply relatable: Kait lost her

engagement ring and wanted something beautiful

yet resilient enough to wear without fear. That

authenticity comes through in every piece. (P.S. she

later found her engagement ring,

phew!)

The design feel is modern,

smart luxury—clean lines,

thoughtful styling, and made to fit

seamlessly into a real, busy life.

Bottom line: Kait Carr jewelry

is a standout for

anyone who wants high-quality,

gorgeous pieces that are built for

the moment—and for decades. It’s

style and peace of mind wrapped

up in glittering brilliance.

TIPS and

ADVICE

from newlyweds!

Been there, done that. We always ask the couples

whose weddings we select to feature a whole bunch

of questions...but their answers to a few of them in

particular—"What advice would you give to engaged

couples?" and "If you could do anything differently,

what would it be?"—we think you’ll find useful as you

go through the planning process! P.S. you can read

more about our featured real wedding couples’ wedding

journeys on our website: realweddingsmag.com/realweddings

Hire Waiters

In hindsight, we would have hired

waiters. The food wasn’t ready

on time and it came out late

and some people got grumpy.

It would have been nice to avoid

that. We would have paid more for

it if we had thought about it.

Take Time Off

I would have taken more time

off work in preparation for the

wedding. Although we felt like

we had a handle on things,

once everything is coming together

in the weeks leading up

to the wedding it gets stressful

very quickly. With family

coming into town, your ability

to host and entertain while also taking it all in becomes

stressful.

—Lora & Jesse


Make it Your Day

The ultimate goal is to make

the day what you and your

spouse want it to be. In the

end, no matter how hard

you try to stay present during

the day, it is a blur—looking

back, you almost remember

the planning part as much as your

wedding day, so make sure to have a good

time with it. You’ll learn how you work as a team,

which makes you stronger as a couple.

We originally intended to

do a first look and take our

wedding pictures before the

ceremony, but due to time we

omitted this. I absolutely love the

Prioritize

Our biggest advice is to make

a list of what matters most to

you and your partner for your

wedding day. Whether it’s the

florals, the guest experience,

the DJ or band, or anything

else, identify your top three priorities

and focus on those. For

us, prioritizing the guest experience

was key. It helped create a day that was not only

meaningful and fun for us but also enjoyable and memorable

for everyone who attended.

THE ULTIMATE

HAWAIIAN

HONEYMOON

by MEGAN WISKUS

The Big Island of Hawaii has it all: coffee

farms, black-sand beaches, magical sunsets,

active volcanoes, rainforests, waterfalls,

and wildlife. The one thing it doesn’t have?

Crowds. Thanks to its vast size (it’s called

the “Big” Island for a reason) and rugged,

unspoiled landscape, you’ll find fewer tourists

and a more peaceful, island-time pace. And

with direct flights from Sacramento to Kona,

it’s a destination that’s not just easy on the

eyes but easy to reach, too. Whether you’re

chasing adventure or pure relaxation—and

whether you lean luxe or low-key—we’ve

rounded up three standout stays that feel

every bit as grand as the island itself.

MAUNA LANI, AUBERGE COLLECTION (auberge.

com/mauna-lani) is what honeymoon dreams are

made of. This five-star, oceanfront stunner on the

always-sunny Kohala Coast boasts one MICHELIN

Key (“a very special stay”) and is still glowing from

a recent top-to-bottom renovation. Step inside the

arrow-shaped exterior and you’re met with an open,

airy aesthetic that’s clean, contemporary, and rooted

in Hawaiian ho‘okipa (hospitality). Outside, the 34-

acre grounds brim with the same modern yet organic

ethos as the interior—complete with ancient ponds,

native flora and fauna, a lush “Great Lawn,” and a

swimmable white-sand beach.

Spend your first married days sipping on an Ube

Colada at the adults-only swim-up bar, curling up

in a private cabana, perfecting your swing at one

of two world-class golf courses, playing pickleball,

or indulging in a Lomi Lomi Massage or Goop

Glow Facial. If the sea is your love language, the

“Surf Shack” is your gateway to bespoke ocean

experiences: whale watching, snorkeling, seasonal

surf lessons, deep-sea fishing, and the crème de

la crème of adventures: a sunrise canoe paddle.

After soaking up the sun, soak in Hawaii’s

indigenous culture at the “House of

Knowledge” (cultural center and

museum), where you can string your

own lei, try your hand at the ukulele,

observe traditional artifacts and art,

or hop on a historic walking tour past

petroglyphs, lava tubes, and other sacred

sites.

Not surprisingly, the on-site dining options

Japanese-inspired cuisine (the Shokupan Pull-Apart

Bread, Kona Kanpachi, and CanoeHouse Mai Tai are all

musts) and above-average service.

Post sun, fun, and food, retreat to your light, bright

guestroom (spacious suites, two-bedroom residences

with a private pool, and a five-bedroom, eightbathroom

estate are also available) outfitted in natural

fabrics and textures, with pops of color that mirror

the surrounding environment. Each room—accessible

The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort

PHOTOS COURTESY OF RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS.

THE WESTIN HAPUNA BEACH RESORT (maunakearesort.com/stay/westin-hapunabeach-resort)

sits atop one of the world’s most breathtaking stretches of sand and sea:

the iconic, postcard-perfect Hapuna Beach. And on the Big Island—where white-sand

beaches with warm, crystal-clear water and gentle, wade-right-in waves are rare—this

alone is reason to fall head over heels for the resort. Your entire honeymoon could easily

be spent “double-dipping” between the ocean and adults-only infinity pool, but there’s

much more to adore, too: an elite, 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer,

seaside yoga, nightly stargazing, complimentary GoPro kits (for 24 hours), and a spa

offering blissful Balinese and Hawaiian-inspired treatments.

Hungry for more? Beyond a casual grill, coffee and cocktail bar, and breakfast buffet,

the property is also home to award-winning restaurant Meridia, whose dramatic façade,

dreamy open-air setting, and Mediterranean-inspired menu—much of it sourced from

the chef’s half-acre garden, or local farms, fisheries, and ranches—deliver a sensory

experience that’s love at first bite.

As the sun melts into the horizon, head to the neighboring Mauna Kea Beach Hotel

(complimentary shuttle service between the two properties runs nightly) for a private

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL

FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT?

Haley & Kyle: We were excited to model

with each other and also excited for a chance

to show others how much we love each other through

photography and videography!

TELL US ABOUT YOUR MODELING EXPERIENCE.

Haley & Kyle: We had such a great time! It was so

smooth; and we felt like we were taken care of, as if we

were professionals, which was really fun! For the entire

day, we felt like we were the main characters, which was

so cool!

HOW WAS MODELING WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT

OTHER?

Haley: It was the best! Seeing Kyle model was so

fun—and he was good at it! I had no idea he would be

so comfortable in front of the camera. He made me

comfortable, too. He also was so blown away by every

dress and every look I had for the shoot.

DID YOU RELATE TO THE CONCEPT?

Haley & Kyle: We got married the weekend after the

shoot, so it was perfect! The whole vibe was so cool and

fun and that's how we wanted to go into our wedding. It

truly worked out so well!

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE SHOOT?

Haley: Kyle's favorite part was dancing with me around

the cake; my favorite part was jumping into the pool at

the end!

IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO ENGAGED

COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Haley & Kyle: Enjoy your engagement—make every

moment count. The wedding day will be perfect, no

matter what; it just works out that way. Have fun being

engaged and planning; don't put too much pressure on

the wedding day. Regardless of what happens on the

big day, it will be special, because nothing else matters

besides the person you're entering the rest of your life

with and the people there supporting you and loving you

through that moment. OO

Lauren: I thought it would be a unique and

fun opportunity!

Max: My fiancée, Lauren, suggested it, and I

wanted her to feel like a princess for the day, so I agreed!

REALWEDDINGSMAG.COM


Lauren: The day flew by, as I was constantly switching

between hair, makeup, gown, and accessory changes,

and photos. I really enjoyed it!

HOW WAS MODELING WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT

OTHER?

Lauren: We’ve done a couple photoshoots together

before, so we knew we enjoyed taking pictures with

each other. The experience is generally something that

brings us closer together on some level. Before the Real

Weddings shoot, these had never been for more than an

hour. Taking the photos over an eight hour day was a lot,

but I enjoyed every minute of it.

Max: It was a great time. We love taking photos

together.

DID YOU RELATE TO THE CONCEPT?

Lauren: The farmhouse-style venue with pops of bold

color is very similar to my vision for our wedding next

year. So, yes!


Lauren: My favorite parts were the photos where Max

was involved. Particularly the lounge photos and the last

look, where we got to cut loose a little bit at the end of

the day.

Max: When I finally got to kiss my bride!



Lauren: Don’t jump into wedding planning immediately

if you can help it! Take some time to bask in engagement

bliss. OO

HOW WAS THE CEREMONY?

Our ceremony was really special and personal to us. It was officiated by

Ryan’s fire chaplain, which meant a lot since Ryan works for our local

fire department. The chaplain has officiated other firefighter weddings

before, so having someone who understood that part of our life made it

feel even more meaningful. One unique part of the ceremony was having

our two witnesses—Ryan’s fire chief and deputy chief—sign our marriage

certificate during the ceremony itself. It was such a cool moment and

made us feel so supported by those who impact us each and every day.

#VENDORRAVES

Working with our wedding planner, Amy from Amy

Varain Weddings, was one of the best decisions we

made during our wedding planning journey. From

the very beginning, Amy went above and beyond

to make sure every detail was just right—not just for

the event itself, but for us as a couple. Her warmth,

professionalism, and deep experience gave us so

much confidence every step of the way. What truly

stood out was how much time and care Amy put into

making our wedding uniquely ours. She never rushed

us, never pushed an agenda—instead, she listened,

supported, and worked tirelessly to bring our ideas

to life in the most beautiful way. Her attention to

detail and dedication to making the day special were

nothing short of extraordinary. Thanks to Amy, our

wedding wasn’t just an event, it was an experience

we’ll treasure forever. We can’t recommend her highly

enough to anyone who wants not only a beautiful

wedding but a planner who genuinely cares.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

Our reception was not only visually stunning—it truly brought our vision to life —but it

was also packed with unforgettable moments. One of the most fun and unique parts was

something our DJ and our planner encouraged us to include: a tradition called “a dance to

dinner.” Each table was assigned a specific song, and when their song played, the entire

table had to get up and dance their way over to us before heading to the buffet. It was such

a fun and interactive way to kick off dinner and brought so much energy into the room.

Guests were laughing, dancing, and cheering each other on—it completely broke the ice

and turned a routine part of the evening into something memorable. Even better, it gave us

a quick, joyful moment with each table. Since the night moves so fast, having those small

interactions meant a lot and made our reception feel even more personal and connected.

SARAH’S FAVORITE PART

The ceremony—as soon as it started everything just slowed down. Seeing my nieces sprinkling

their petals so seriously, watching Gary’s and my parents beam on their trip down the aisle,

hearing our family members honoring our unique love in their own words, looking out to see

everyone smiling and supporting us—I’ve never felt so loved. Finally, looking Gary in the eye

in the quiet of such a special moment and telling him how much he and our journey together

mean to me was the best. We choose each other every day and that’s special. Choosing each

other on that particular day, in that time-honored way, felt sacred.

SARAH & GARY

PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMMA WYNN PAUL PHOTOGRAPHY

#WEDDINGGOALS

Most of all, we wanted to create a loving, fun, relaxed gathering of all the special people in

our lives that could attend. It was the first time for our friend groups to get to know each

other a little bit and the first time for Sarah and I to meet a few family and friends we hadn’t

yet met as well. Having it close to where we live, ultimately, was the final decision factor.

We wanted to showcase the area that we’ve grown to love and for people to experience all

the magical beauty it brings. The weather is always unpredictable on the coast in Northern

California so that was somewhat of a wild card, but we were prepared either way. Both Sarah

and I really wanted to do a brunch-time wedding and also have it entirely outside. The venue

was cooperative with this request and we were so happy with how it all pieced together. Also,

having our wedding on 4th of July weekend, we were grateful for so many to sacrifice their

normal holiday plans. We were a little bummed we couldn’t have fireworks involved,

but it was a festive celebration in its own way.

Planning was a whirlwind, because we were

choosing the music; the worst part was

The pheasants feathers added into the floral to

before getting to walk me down the aisle with my

father; and the hidden Mickey Mouse pearls in my

hair and the hidden Mickey Mouse in my bouquet

that my floral designers surprised me with.

#WEDDINGGOALS

We knew we wanted a party—a wedding that wasn’t

just “another wedding” but an event that people would

remember. We also knew we wanted a pretzel wall,

which was handmade by us; a killer DJ; and great food

to enjoy with all of our friends and family. I think we

both agree that we got everything we wanted—and

more—on our wedding day!

patient and had such a wealth

of connections to a talented and

diverse set of vendors. We truly

could not have done it without her!

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BLOOM PHOTOGRAPHY

#WEDDINGGOALS

Our wedding was communitypowered.

Many of the folks who

played vendor roles are our dear

friends who generously offered their

exceptional creativity, talent, and

competence to help our dreams

come true. Friends played an

enormous role in pulling off each of

the weekend’s elements. So much

so that we lovingly called it a “co-op

wedding!” That element was core

to the spirit of our wedding, and we

feel so grateful to have been able to

involve our community in so many

aspects of the weekend.

MEMORABLE MOMENT

During the reception, we gave a short welcome

speech and at the end of it we asked folks to look

under their plates. Each guest found a handwritten

“note of gratitude” expressing thanks for some

way they enrich our lives or have shown up for

us. It took us weeks to write all the notes and our

planner Sara can attest to the fact that it was not

logistically easy to pull that off!

But it was 100% worth it.

FAVORITE DETAIL

Having our family come from near and far

to celebrate our big day.

COUPLE’S FAVORITE PARTS

Johnathon: Having alone time during our photo

shoot. I enjoyed every moment of the day, but it

was great to be just us during that time.

Jacopo: Just looking around and seeing all the

people we love in one place, celebrating with us.

It felt so special to have everyone together.

#WEDDINGGOALS

When we started planning, we wanted something

small and intimate, but as time passed, I realized I wanted

the celebration to be a bit bigger but still personal. Mario

and I both knew we wanted an outdoor fall wedding,

celebrating with our closest family and friends. The theme I

had in mind was minimalist elegance, full of

floral arrangements and candles.

CASSANDRA & MARIO

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SENIAS LENS

#VENDORRAVES

Our photographer, Yesenia from Senias Lens, was nothing less than

perfect. She was so patient with us, our bridal party, and all of our

guests. She was able to capture our day with amazing photos that

bring up our best memories on one of the best days of our lives. We

had so much fun with her and hope to continue to have her capture

all our big moments for our family’s future memories.

MEMORABLE MOMENT

I ordered a photo charm for my bouquet to celebrate my late

grandmother, but little did Mario know I ordered one for him to

celebrate his late grandfather. After saying goodbye to each other

the night before our wedding, I wrote a card to him and included

the photo charm. We both lost two very important people who

we wish could have been there with us on our wedding day. Mario

was shocked at the gift and wore the charm over his heart.

FOR REALWEDDINGSMAG.COM

Mario and I both agree that the best part of our wedding day was

our first look. We both hadn’t spoken to each other or seen each

other for what felt like forever. He had no idea what my dress

looked like, and I wanted him to be surprised—it felt so surreal, like

it was just us two on this entire planet.

We truly enjoyed the planning process!

Finding a venue was the most stressful part.

We did a ton of research, and Scribner Bend

Vineyards was actually the very first venue we

visited. The moment we saw it, we knew it was

the one. After that, the fun began—choosing

vendors and picking out decorations was such

an enjoyable experience. The most challenging

part was putting together the timeline, but our

wedding planner, Morgan, handled most of it

(thankfully!). Without her help, that part would

have been overwhelming for me.

ALLIE & TEO

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KABOO PHOTOGRAPHY

FAVORITE DETAIL

The flowers! Our floral designer, Jackie, did an amazing

job bringing our vision to life across the venue. The colors,

softness, and warmth of a summer harvest were brilliantly on

display at the ceremony, in the bouquets, and afterwards in

the reception table arrangements.

MEMORABLE MOMENT

All of our toasts were so special—it was

hard not to cry through all of them!

TEO’S FAVORITE PART

The grand entrance was a dream—seeing all of

the preparation and planning come to life felt so

rewarding! As the barn doors opened and the

DJ played our favorite song, I loved having my

beautiful bride by my side as we walked to our head

table, seeing the décor, flowers, and lighting, along

with the joy on all of our loved ones’ faces. It was

everything I could have ever asked for and more as

we began to celebrate being a married couple!

Planning was hectic. We did most of it ourselves and concurrently

with home improvement projects, which I would not recommend.

The best part was the day of the event—when all the planning and

preparing was finally over! The worst moment was when our water

heater died in the middle of a storm right before the wedding.

LORA & JESSE

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BROOKE BATTLE PHOTOGRAPHY

#WEDDINGGOALS

We wanted to have a few moments to take it all in,

because we knew the day would be busy and go

by so quickly, so we had a sweetheart table for the

reception to have some time to ourselves.

#WEDDINGGOALS

We knew we wanted to throw a party. Our

priority was to spend time with our favorite

people and have an absolute blast. We did

not have too many expectations beyond that

going into planning, but during the process

found things we knew we wanted to have: a

four-foot elk shed on the arbor, an outdoor

ceremony, beer burros, the perfect wedding

dress that had a beautiful train to drape down

the steps of the arbor, a beer boy to start

the party before we walked down the aisle,

delicious food, and a rocking dance floor.

CAROLINE & DUSTIN

PHOTOGRAPHY BY PIXEL PERFECT PHOTO + VIDEO

#VENDORRAVES

We absolutely loved all of our vendors and would have been so lost without them.

Danielle, Ryan, and the whole team at The Red Barn Weddings & Events truly made our

day amazing with their attention to detail. Our day was perfect and stress free because of

their hard work. Our photographer, Maria at Pixel Perfect Photo + Video, captured our day

beautifully—she was amazing to work with and really listened to us about our vision. Odell

Craft Barbecue is always a crowd favorite—they were able to cater to some specific food

allergies so all our guests could enjoy their delicious food. Our floral designer, Alli at June

Bloom, created the most beautiful wildflower-inspired pieces and also took on the task of

decorating our four-foot elk shed for the arbor.

UNEXPECTED MOMENT

The four-digit number “1018” is associated with

Dustin’s late grandmother. Throughout the years, the

number has popped up frequently and randomly.

Dustin and his family take notice of these instances

as tributes to her. While taking our sunset photos, we

noticed that the number on the mailbox we had been

walking near was “10180.” We took this as Grandma

Marleen making sure she visited us on our special day.

#VENDORRAVES

Our photographer, P.J. with Fits & Stops Photography, was

phenomenal —not only for capturing so many wonderful

moments, but also for keeping us on track and wrangling

all the guests. We chose not to have a coordinator, and we

wouldn’t have been nearly as successful without P.J.’s expertise.

We also loved the reception site—they were so easy to work

with, accommodating many dietary restrictions and delivering

absolutely delicious meals and drinks.

CASSANDRA & DYLON

PHOTOGRAPHY BY FITS & STOPS PHOTOGRAPHY

SPECIAL MOMENT

Dylon said some of his vows in Elvish,

which was a special surprise! I’m a big

Lord of the Rings fan!

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

For Dylon, it was seeing his father dance for the first time

in his life, as well as seeing his younger brother doing

swing dancing. His friends took turns dipping the other

men, and it was really funny. Also, when Dylon tried to

grab me for a fast dance, he leaped over a small ledge

and ripped the inner seam of his pants. Luckily, no one

else knew and it didn’t stop the party. We also learned

how much the day meant to our parents. There were

more tears than expected from both sides of the family,

and it meant the world to us.

The team at Round Hill Pines Beach Resort was

so awesome and made us feel so taken care of

with the entire experience. Our photographer,

Amber, and her team from Shoop’s Photography,

made us feel so beyond comfortable and

brought such a fun element to our day.

Besides lots of color and a simple aesthetic, the

should represent you both!

UNEXPECTED MOMENT

During our father-daughter dance, my

shoe fell off so my dad got down and

slipped it back on, like Cinderella!

PHOEBE’S FAVORITE DETAIL

I spent the first few hours of the day

with my mom, sister, best friend, and

a close friend who did my makeup. It

was a quiet, relaxing morning—getting

ready together, eating yummy food,

sipping mimosas, and listening to my

favorite reggae hits.

#WEDDINGGOALS

We knew that we wanted it to be filled with flowers. With

the help of some family members, we made the floral

arrangements, Jude’s crown, the boutonnières, and corsages,

and we think they turned out beautifully. It was also important

to us to be able to dance, especially for Alice. We curated a

playlist of songs I knew we loved so we could bop all night.

SPECIAL MOMENT

Jude’s identity was affirmed by calling themself both bride

and groom. Their wedding party were the Judesmates. We

had many terms for the wedding that helped affirm their

identity in a way that usurped the wedding norm.

JEFFREY’S FAVORITE PART

Saying yes to Mary and then

celebrating with all our friends and

family. Singing “Piano Man” at the end

of the night was amazing, too!

MARY & JEFFREY

PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMMA WYNN PAUL PHOTOGRAPHY


Memorable. And I mean that because we were standing up there,

saying our vows with 45 mph gusts of wind hitting us in the

face the entire time. My bridesmaids had to stand on my veil to

prevent the veil from smacking our guests in their faces. Also, our

Uncle Jeff, who has since passed away from cancer, was able to

say a few words about life and love, which we will cherish forever.

FUNNY MOMENT

My veil blowing off! We were doing our first look and taking pictures

when my veil flew off my head—I literally turned around and saw it

blow over the hotel. Our photographer, Peter, tried to chase it but

was too late, it was gone...until our venue’s coordinator, Kyra, was the

MVP and went around the hotel and found it in the driveway. I added

about 50 more bobby pins to secure that baby for the ceremony.

I have two actually: Reading our vows to each

other during our 30 minutes of alone time before

the ceremony, and getting to do our first dance

with our daughter Miley.

I was hoping for things to run smoothly, and

the venue and staff absolutely made that

happen. I was also nervous how the florals

and my colors would look with the darker

background of the trees and the dark wood

of the lodge, but it looked amazing.

KARISSA & AUSTIN

PHOTOGRAPHY BY IMAGERY BY CARISSA DUGONI


It was stressful. Planning a big party with timelines

and depending on others is not a small task. I had a

meltdown when my first wedding planner backed out,

and there was a disagreement over funds. We were so

lucky and grateful that we found Janelle from Blissfully

Elegant Events who made everything so easy. After a

few chats, I felt completely reassured and confident

with her, knowing things happen for a reason...

and I’m so glad they did.

that we would have forever to remember the day,

knowing the day would go fast (we made the right

wanted our dog there and to just have the best

because May in Sacramento is hot!

WHITNEY & GAVIN

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERICA BALDWIN PHOTOGRAPHY

#VENDORRAVES

Erica from Erica Baldwin Photography was the best

photographer anyone could ask for! She was kind

and respectful the entire time. Her patience with

my husband and me was amazing and very much

appreciated. Hanna’s Bakery also did an amazing

job with our wedding cake and cupcakes. Lake

Natoma Inn was also the best venue we could ask

for—the team was so kind and helpful. Not only is it a

gorgeous venue, but the food was amazing, too!

Planning was stressful at times because we did

not have a coordinator. Gavin was in a paramedic

program, and I was in a teaching credential

program at the same time, making us short on

time, money, and energy. We prioritized each other

and having a fun, simple wedding to celebrate

our love. We decided, as a couple, not to get

overwhelmed with the planning by taking it one

day at a time. My favorite part of planning was

picking my wedding dress. It was so fun going

shopping with my bridesmaids and creating those

special memories together!

JENN & LEVY

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF MARRIAGE!

THEIR ADVICE FOR MAKING MARRIAGE WORK:

Laugh a lot, have fun, and go on dates.

Accept each other for who you are individually—remember why you got married.

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Be honest with one another and support each other.

No one wins an argument—find a healthy compromise.

—Jenn & Levy
