Everything you need for a California wedding

Hey everyone, I need a quick recommendation. Has anyone tried the pastries from the House of Cookies? It's that bakery right in the walkway near Prime 3.

I’m pretty sure I already asked this exact same thing, yet somehow I still haven't gotten an answer... 🤷

Thomas Scott5 said:I am digging through everything I can find, but I’m getting nowhere:
1. Does anyone have phone numbers or website links for these makeup artists: Lucy Smith, Antonia Guice, or Nancy Gamulin? I managed to track down all the other girls you guys recommended online.

2. Has anyone seen photos or links to work done by that florist, "Cvitak," from that small town in California? Or even just some feedback on them?

3. Any hair stylist recommendations for the San Francisco Bay Area? I haven't been able to find anything mentioned online. Ideally, I need someone willing to travel to my place to do the hair. Even if they don't do house calls, please just give me some names or contact info so I can Google them—I'm honestly about to lose my mind. 🙂 I've never had such a hard time with hair, but now I desperately need someone who can nail a wedding hairstyle. 🙂

Thomas Scott5😉, unfortunately, I don't have contact info for those specific ladies. However, I know a makeup artist named Gloria works around the Savannah/Castel area (https://www.facebook.com/glorija.spl...ation=timeline). She did my makeup for a wedding once and I was genuinely happy with the results. I'm not sure if she's already been mentioned in this thread... 😉

Thanks for the link. Personally, though, that look seems a bit too heavy for me.

Thanks to everyone who sent me links and numbers via DM. 🙂

Unfortunately, those colors aren't available anywhere in San Francisco—if anyone knows where to find them, let me know.
Exactly. The math is that one sheet makes one larger ball, or even two smaller ones (about 15 cm in diameter). I made a pink one and actually put it under the shower to see how it handled the rain, and it looked even better. It didn't deform at all. If you want it for outdoors, try to find that specific paper.
Tissue works, but if it's for indoors, just grab some napkins. You won't regret it, trust me. 🙂

😁
Awesome, thanks for the heads-up! I'll always have napkins on hand if I can't track down that tissue paper!
Thanks again! 😉

Don't mention it. It feels good knowing I could help even a little bit. If you hit a snag, just ask!
From what you've posted on the forum, I have a pretty clear picture of your bachelorette party plans (by the way, I'm voting for flats 🙂), and I can already see you surrounded by pom-poms! That's a total win if it means anything to you. Good luck!!!

I’m staying out of this. I don't know the first thing about the bakery scene in San Francisco, unless you count my mother-in-law's kitchen. 😁

Anyone know how much Matthew and Bryan are taking? Thanks 🙂

Yeah, the makeup is pretty intense. Personally, I've never been a fan of that style, so I pushed for a more natural look... and it turned out great. Honestly, I was serving as a maid of honor, so I didn't get to pick the artist myself, but I know they get a lot of praise around the Savannah/Castel area. 🤷 Anyway, no problem at all. Good luck with your search. 🙂

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with the Aria ex. Kokolo group? I mean, does it actually make sense to hire a DJ for a prom night, or does that just feel... I don't know, fake? Like it won't have that real energy? Also, if anyone here in San Francisco has a solid recommendation for a group, let me know—and does anyone know if there are any videos online of them performing at parties?

A solid DJ can definitely set the right mood...

Hello everyone... I find myself currently in the process of planning my own wedding ceremony... and I was wondering if anyone here might have any insight regarding the Bomba band? Has anyone had the pleasure of seeing them perform at an event recently?

I haven't been to a wedding of theirs, but I've caught them playing at Leo a few times and they were fantastic!!!

I have heard similar things from several people, yet I simply cannot seem to find anyone who actually attended the wedding.

Greetings, ladies.🙂
Which bridal boutiques in the San Francisco area would you recommend?

Hey there! 🙂

Victoria's Secret, Vera bridal, Glamour Bride, Gale's boutique, my Lipton...

That's basically everything I can think of.

I picked up some stuff at Victoria's Secret, and honestly, the women working there are actually pleasant. They aren't pushy at all, which I love. They aren't those annoying types who tell you that you look stunning and gorgeous the second you step into a fitting room.

I have to jump in and say I also love the staff over at Victoria's Secret! I was genuinely impressed by them, and their wedding dresses are just flawless.
Who did you guys end up ordering your cake from?
P.S. I heard that the local House bakery is fantastic—apparently, they make real, homemade-style cakes. I heard some friends had their cakes from them at a party and everyone couldn't stop raving about them. BUT, the price is $33!!!

I still haven't made up my mind about which cookies to grab. I’m basically torn between House Cookies and that one Old Brand.
I mean, both of them are way pricier than the other options out there, but honestly, nothing else even comes close when it comes to quality—they’re legit homemade style.
