Everything you need for a California wedding in Weddings ·
Thomas Jones12 said:I guess I was wondering if any of you ladies planning a wedding out in California might happen to have some local folk musicians or a band available for the reception?

Ugh, I had a live band for my house party and even during the reception—they played during the breaks and everyone absolutely loved it. It was just an accordion, mandolin, upright bass, and guitar...👍

They shot my high school graduation, and then they did my brother's wedding—which was basically the "low-budget" version of our family celebrations—so we figured we might as well keep the tradition going. 😍

I used California Photo, shots aren't ready yet but the crew is absolute fire...🙏🙏👍😍, they shot my cousin too and his pics are killer...
Raymond Brooks7 said:Hey lady, congratulations! 🙂

Any chance you'll share some photos for those of us dying of curiosity? 😍

thanks so much.....
I'll post some pics in a few days once I finally get them together...
Alexander Ruiz2 said:A bakery like this one in the Mississippi Delta does work just like that, and their cakes are incredibly delicious 😉

Try EM PEK, there's this lady (Katarina) 👍 🙏who is absolutely insane at what she does! She made my cake once... I was obsessed with how it looked and my guests couldn't stop raving about the taste...

try a local print shop like FedEx Office or Staples... their vinyl stickers are killer and they get everything done, I used them for custom wedding invites and wine labels once... they work hard and they're fast as hell...👍

Michael Davis21 said:Ugh, I'm not really into praline either🙄but my partner was being so insistent... so what am I supposed to do? I just gave in🤷....though I definitely don't budge when it comes to other stuff😍😁(like the decorations, and a ton of other little details...🤣)
Personally, I think adding praline is kind of silly... you just crunch it up and toss it 🤷 (hardly anyone actually eats it!), and then you've got a cake with a few layers and whatever else.... but fine, whatever, let him have his way😳😁

we reached an easy deal, he picked the royal icing and I went with a purple cake (10 servings) stacked up nicely in 5 layers....problem solved instantly without me losing my mind over tiny little cakes...👍

Nicholas Brown84 said:I was actually thinking about setting up a little section near Times Square for the croquant, though I haven't really figured out the layout yet... I did some math and put down roughly $333 for the croquant. Does that price cover custom shapes too, or is that strictly for the bell shape?

I'm pretty sure those are just basic cakes at $333, anything else is gonna cost you more. Plus, you gotta wonder if every baker can actually pull off whatever crazy design you want... there are cheaper spots over at Whole Foods too....
to me, a cake at Cheesecake Factory ended up being 1400 + extras $100... honestly, I'm not even that big on brittle so it felt pricey, 👎but I grabbed it just for my man...

Michael Davis21 said:I mean, they're pretty much the most famous spot in the whole area... but man, those prices though! Holy cow...😲

Not even close... I checked out the prices at the Ritz and they were way higher, even without the wedding party, fireworks, and all that other nonsense my man keeps pushing. The guy's got some seriously wild ideas—you can basically see them coming a mile away. Personally? That lighthouse idea is just straight-up depressing.

Oh, and one more thing. If you’re going with a croquant cake, you seriously have to hit up that bakery by the Marina near the Mediterranean Sea… they’re killer 🙏….

You’ve got a point, but honestly, the reputation of the shop matters just as much as the actual flowers...
I went with Knight because I know I can swing by whenever I have some crazy new idea or a random request and she won't give me any grief. When we were talking, I mentioned I wanted some little butterfly accents since they're on my invitations, and the woman literally went out that same day to hunt down butterflies...

Michael Davis21 said:Ugh, I still didn't manage to make it out to the flower shop today... I really meant to—I had it all planned out in my head—but then things just sort of spiraled and the day totally got away from me... such a bummer!🙄

Wait, what exactly does that "5" actually cover? I mean—is it just the base price, or are we talking about everything... like taxes, service fees, the whole nine yards? I always feel like there’s some hidden catch with these kinds of things—you think you're paying one amount and then suddenly you're looking at a receipt that looks like a phone number... anyway, I'm just curious! $0.00? 4 $0.00 I mean, I guess it’s still somewhat doable, but honestly... 5 just feels like way too much to me...🤷 Someone please feel free to set me straight if I've got this all wrong... I mean, this is my first time ever getting married, so I'm definitely still figuring things out...😁...
