Wedding Guide

 

Weddings can range from large events to small celebrations for close family and friends. Whether lavish or intimate, there is a tremendous amount of planning and organization involved in making it an unforgettable day.

For our premiere wedding guide, we made sure to fill the pages with tips and tools, and ideas and inspiration. To help plan your “to do’s” and stay organized, use our wedding day countdown checklist. If you have yet to decide on the where, read “Location, location, location” to get ideas for unique venues. This page offers ideas for more distinct touches, and these pages, earth-conscious inspiration and the latest in flower trends. Anna Post, from the famed Emily Post Institute, and Sasha Souza, from Sasha Souza Events in Napa, lend their wedding etiquette and budget expertise to solve some of the most common quandaries associated with wedding planning. And to satisfy your sweet tooth we talk with Julie Myers, Dixon’s cake goddess and owner of Dessert Matters, about what makes a memorable cake.

Whatever detail you decide to add to your wedding or wherever you choose to say “I do,” remember not to lose sight of the purpose of the day in the midst of the logistics. This is a day to celebrate the start of your new life with the one you love.
