Everything you need for a California wedding in Weddings ·
Hey everyone!

Our big day was September 11th, and honestly—everything went absolutely perfectly! We are over the moon, and our guests have been raving about everything in their comments..
I’ve spent quite a bit of time on this and other forums, asking for advice and digging for info.. and I just want to say thanks to everyone who replies and helps out—your suggestions are such a lifesaver, especially for someone like me. See, I lived abroad and only moved to California about 3 or 4 months before the wedding—so, I did everything solo, mostly relying on the internet to get organized.. I've already posted about invitations, RSVP cards, and things like that.. mainly because I really want to show the ladies here in California that you aren't limited to just the local vendors everyone uses..

So, I'm checking back in specifically to confirm my opinion.. and to suggest a slightly different way of looking at things. Basically, our photos and video arrived, and we are beyond thrilled!!!

I’ll try to find those old posts from July or August regarding the info exchange between Studio Snimak and others—because it was actually the fact that certain people "attacked" the hard work and dedication of Studio Snimak to do a great job that made me reach out to them, and we couldn't be happier with our choice!

The point is, when a business asks questions—which is what Studio Snimak did here on this forum—to better understand what their potential clients actually want, it shouldn't be viewed negatively or met with harsh criticism. Sometimes, you just need to look at things from a different perspective.. in fact, we should be grateful that even today there are
people who are honest and put actual love into the work they get paid to do!

And as we all know, how much we value that special day often drives our biggest decisions!
Well, you definitely won't be disappointed with them! They were incredibly professional, listened to every single one of our requests, were totally up for any crazy idea we threw at them, and to top it off—the price wasn't an "impossible mission" either!! 🙂)
Also, everyone who saw the photos and the video said they were stunning—some even said they had never seen anything like it...

So, please don't just limit yourselves to what your neighbors, relatives, or whoever says they heard about something.. instead, try to branch out, search in different places, use different tools, and explore other avenues..
Anyway, I hope this isn't too long, but I promised I'd come back and share our experience.. basically, all options are on the table! Sending love from us 🙂

For the ladies in California looking for info:
We had a bit of a unique setup—the church and the venue were both on the coast
Hair—Josko Tafra
Makeup—Lucija Spajic
Catering—Viadel
Cake—Babić in nearby San Diego
Music—A DJ (a friend from New Orleans)🙂)
And of course, the photos and video—Studio Snimak
To me, that is—that's it!
Wishing you all so much happiness!

Oh, and one more super important thing—Ana at Anna's Florist in Beverly Hills is absolutely geneeeeeeial!
My goodnessssss! The wedding dress😉 was just perfection! Top tier!
Vera Kranjac—she is excepional! Truly special! The Walt Disney Company boutique, Vuskovicev 5, Los Angeles
Wow! Okay, I think that covers everything 🙂)

Greetings, lovely ladies!

I’m also one of those brides getting married in September—and since I only moved to NYC a few months ago, I’ve found so much helpful info right here on this forum, so thank you all!
My fiancé is away during the week, so I’ve been left to my own devices for all the wedding hunting—and here is what I’ve managed to track down so far...

- I really have to rave about Suza and Grafoart...http://www.pozivnice.org/
I noticed a lot of you do things yourself, but trust me—even though our guest list won't be massive, for the price I paid, DIY just wasn't worth it! My invitations were about $1.75 including printing and envelopes (pearlized paper, lavender ink...) and, just like everything else I ordered from them, they look incredibly professional... the same goes for the favors... I ordered lavender, scented candles, and more from them too...
The best part is that you can coordinate everything... just check out their site, and once you reach out and explain your vision, the lady makes sample proofs and emails you photos before you officially commit!
Shipping to NYC cost me about $23 and everything arrives right at your doorstep...
My only tiny complaint—which the owner promised to fix at her own expense—was that the bracelets and the bridesmaid favors were a little smaller than I expected. Since they were out of stock for the specific material I wanted, she promised to send the correct ones in August at no extra charge to me. All in all, I am beyond happy! I know many people in California think it's impossible to get this kind of service because the company is based in Djibouti—but it totally is!
For other little things—like seashells, balloons, and tulle—I ordered from IBM in NYC, but since my brother lives in NYC, he just brought them to me... though you might want to check if they ship to other areas too...
Someone here asked about Verizon... we went and bought 1-2kg samples, and literally everyone says their treats are amazing! The lady is so sweet and gives great advice—we're actually going to order the cake from them too... everything is customizable...
So, that's the start...🙂 This post might be a bit long, but I wanted to share what I've learned so far...
Now, if I may ask a few questions... 😉
I'm leaning towards a wedding dress, because I'm imagining something simple—nothing with huge crinolines or corsets... does anyone know a good seamstress, or should I try my luck at a department store like most people?
Hair—I want something simple too... maybe an updo braid? Nothing over-sprayed with three layers of hairspray...
Makeup—same thing... as natural as possible with minimal makeup.
The wedding will be in Malibu, similar to the reception... an intimate circle of people, near the ocean...
I would love some recommendations and phone numbers!
And thanks again to everyone who has shared such useful info so far! Greetings
