TIPS. TRENDS. NEWS. ...and fun! by Emily Peter-Corey
Real Weddings is here to inspire you 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 or just something fun. Wedding planning is hard. It’s stressful. It's tiring. But it's also supposed to be fun. And after going through it myself recently, I have earned the title of your Plus One through this wedding planning process. 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, let’s clink our drinks, pose for a pic and own the dance floor!

GIVING BACK We’re excited to welcome Brides for a Cause (bridesforacause.com) to Sacramento! Started in 2012 in Portland, Oregon, Brides for a Cause collects funds from selling donated wedding dresses and disperses those funds to women-focused charities around the U.S. Their Sacramento boutique opened in June at 1114 21st Street, Suite B in Sacramento. Visit their store (reservations required and visit their website for guidelines) to look through more than 700 dresses available for purchase off the rack.
FIND YOUR SIGNATURE DRINK! No event is complete without a signature drink, in my opinion, but it can be difficult to find the perfect drink that tastes good and looks good. Luckily, BevMo (bevmo. com/recipes) has an entire list of fun drinks with recipes and pictures. Plus, you can add all the ingredients right to your cart for a quick and easy purchase if you want to test out the drink before your event (we know you want to!). They have recipes using gin, whiskey, vodka, wine and even recipes for dessert, breakfast, and non-
We’re just hours away from the picturesque Sonoma Valley, and the area makes for a magical proposal spot, too. With help from Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa (fairmont. com/sonoma), you can make your proposal something your partner will talk about for years to come. With their “All you Have To Do Is Ask” proposal package you can pop the question with a romantic dinner for two, a custom “Marry Me” GOBO illumination on their water tower, plus add ons like sommelier-selected Champagne, flowers and in-room amenities. And if we may suggest, make your proposal a full weekend stay at the Fairmont with a day at the spa, some wine-tasting and shopping around Sonoma Plaza. 22 | REAL WEDDINGS // REALWEDDINGSMAG.COM

LAKE TAHOE’S TOP WEDDING VENUES Lake Tahoe, where Mark Twain once said the air is so pure it’s what angels breathe, consistently makes every “must-see” list. So how fabulous is it that these Resorts offer three distinct, premier mountain venues here - each with its own unique style, charm and price point to suit any destination wedding!
Northstar California. For high-end luxury with a laid-back ambiance, nothing beats Northstar California! This elegant yet relaxed resort is actually a full-scale village perched on Tahoe’s north shore. An amazing array of stunning event spaces, an award-winning executive chef, upscale shops, hip restaurants, a theater, skating/roller rink - even a 5-star Ritz-Carlton complete with indulgent spa - offer everything you could want for the wedding of your dreams.
Lorem
Kirkwood. Those who revel in the great outdoors will love Kirkwood. Off the beaten path, this rustic retreat lets you unplug, relax, and share the full “beauty of nature” experience with friends and family. Say “I do” in a meadow blooming with wildflowers and surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Sierras.
Heavenly. The aptly named Heavenly juxtaposes awe-inspiring panoramas of Tahoe’s sapphire waters with the excitement of nearby casinos and nightlife. Let your spirit soar as you ride the aerial tram to exchange vows against a backdrop of the dazzling lake. Follow it up with a private mountaintop reception.

The air's a little thinner, the mountain's a little taller and the sky's a whole lot bluer. All of which explains why vows ring a little louder.
Carson Valley is a blissful union of Mother Nature and human nature -- a setting where the scenery is rivaled only by the generosity and warmth of people as excited about your wedding as you are.

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT? Meaghan: Alexis Reynolds of Halo Salon & Day Spa, is a dear friend of mine I’ve known for 20+ years and I worked for her in her salon for seven of those years starting when I was 18. I looked at your magazines all the time while working at the salon. I secretly always wanted to have my wedding featured in Real
Weddings one day. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I’d actually be in your magazine! Logan: When I heard we would be doing a styled wedding shoot, there was no way I was going to pass up an opportunity to see Meaghan in wedding dresses. Yes, I teared up a few times during the shoot. One of a kind Wedding Destination CAPTUREPHOTOGRAPHYSAC.COM
TELL US ABOUT YOUR MODELING EXPERIENCE. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY? Meaghan: I loved getting to wear five different wedding dresses! I was pumped afterward—we had such a great time and it made me even more excited and prepared for our upcoming special day. Logan: When I was standing in front of the floral altar with Meaghan. I had a small glimpse of our upcoming wedding day and I started to tear up. IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO ENGAGED COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Meaghan: Try not to let the stress get to you too much and slow down so you truly enjoy one of the happiest experiences of your life. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be special to the two of you.
Delta Diamond

Logan: If you are newly engaged set a date and start planning. Remember to communicate as much as possible during the planning and be willing to compromise. Remember, the wedding day is about you and your significant other, so focus on each other. It is going to be the most special day. OO

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT? DJ: I used to work at Halo Salon & Day Spa and the owner, Alexis, actually encouraged me to apply to the cover model contest! When Wendy reached out to me, I knew I had to say yes because this was going to be so much fun and a great experience for Michael and me! TELL US ABOUT YOUR MODELING EXPERIENCE. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY? DJ: This day was so fun! It was so cool to see everything come together and I loved the theme! Michael was very excited to have to do “long kisses” so we could get good kissing photos! We were both very tired and hot afterward but didn’t mind because we had so much fun! IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO ENGAGED COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE? DJ: Michael says, “If you are engaged, when you start planning your wedding, hope a pandemic doesn’t arise. Jokes aside, like I tell every couple, engaged or not, communication is key! This includes planning your wedding. Also, if you can, no matter how long you’ve been together, try to at least go on one special date a month (or more if you can).” I completely agree with him. There were times we had to extremely compromise with our choices but communicating that we were never trying to take away from one another’s ideas or experiences and that we still loved each other was so important. Weddings can bring out the worst in people, so making sure to talk to your spouse about how you’re feeling is so important. The dates are another important part, especially when you can take a break from thinking about the wedding and focus on one another and why you’re even getting married in the first place!

2 Arrange wedding-weekend activities. Pro Lora Ward from The Venue Vixens says, “‘After Glow’ brunches are often arranged, especially if there are many out-of-town guests attending. The invitation can include everyone invited to the wedding, but most often is kept to the out-of-towners and family. Depending on the formality of this gathering, invitations may or may not be necessary. Or consider a ‘Pre-Social’ hour immediately before the wedding.” Mail invitations (Don’t forget to make a spreadsheet of your guests and assign each of them a number—

Invitations/stationery. Pro Catrina Arcularius from Catrina Maria Designs says, “Overestimate your order by about 10 percent. It’s a great idea to order extra envelopes in any case.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELVES:
When, where and how did we first meet? What drew us to connect with each other? Do we consider ourselves to be best friends? What are some interests we enjoy doing together? What four qualities do we admire in each other? How do we support each other’s endeavors? How do we show love and sensitivity? What do trust and respect mean in a relationship? What is a promise, a vow, a covenant? Where do we envision the wedding to take place? How do we narrow down the guest list? What is important in our search for the ideal officiant? How are the exchange of rings significant to us? What symbols of unity are important to us? Will our faiths be incorporated into our wedding? Do we want cultural rituals included in our wedding? How do we picture the wedding celebration to be? What is important to our parents, friends, and family? How do we balance family wishes with ours? Will our faiths be a driving force in our married life? How will our cultural backgrounds enhance our life? What does equal partnership mean in a marriage?

JAZMIN WHITE & TROY WATTS
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT? Jazmin: When we first started dating, and I was an intern for Style Media Group which publishes Real
Weddings, Troy would sometimes come with me when I got to visit different shops in the area! That was such an exciting time for us because we were just getting to know each other and exploring new places was a fun way to do that. So, when Wendy reached out and asked us to model it was kismet! Like we had come full circle. TELL US ABOUT YOUR MODELING EXPERIENCE. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY? Jazmin: My favorite part of the day was modeling with Troy. He’s a photographer so he’s seen me model before but modeling together was so different. All the smiles were genuine, and we couldn’t stop complimenting each other and saying, “I love you.” Neither of us imagined this shoot was going to make us act so lovey dovey and spark so many butterflies; we felt so wonderfully silly! IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO ENGAGED COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Jazmin: Give yourself time! Working in the industry for so many years and being a bride now myself, I’ve seen so many people rush their engagements and dive so heavily into planning that they don’t give themselves any time to enjoy being engaged.

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MODEL FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT? Taylor: We know that on our wedding day we won’t have all the time in the world for bride and groom portraits, so having a full shoot dedicated to us as bride and groom is something we knew we would treasure forever. TELL US ABOUT YOUR MODELING EXPERIENCE. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY? Taylor: Our modeling experience was nothing short of amazing! The Real Weddings team and vendors all worked together splendidly and we both had an incredible time. We both agree that our favorite part of the day was our first look. We both weren’t expecting to get emotional, but we got teary-eyed and it was a romantic, intimate moment between each other. IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO

ENGAGED COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Taylor: We recommend enjoying this season of engagement with your spouse-to-be. You’ll be fiancé(e)s for a short amount of time, so make the most of it! Your wedding day is about your union so let that be the most important detail. It’s so easy to get lost in the minuscule that you can forgot the big picture. As long as you and your spouse are married by the end of the day, you did everything right! OO —Interviewed by Emily Peter-Corey

WHY DID YOU ENTER THIS CONTEST? Jannaé: I absolutely LOVE Real Weddings Magazine!

The entire time I planned my wedding I faithfully used their magazines for ideas and inspiration. Honestly, I entered the contest because I felt it would be an amazing opportunity and privilege to be part of a magazine that inspires so many women around the world. This magazine reminds couples of all backgrounds and nationalities to celebrate LOVE and HAPPINESS in every aspect of the words, especially in marriage! How honored I would feel to inspire other couples during the most special day of their lives!
11/6/16 10:16 AM
WHAT DID YOUR PARTNER THINK ABOUT YOU ENTERING THIS CONTEST? WHAT WAS HIS REACTION WHEN YOU WERE SELECTED? Jannaé: When he found out that Real Weddings Magazine selected me he said, “That’s fantastic! They must have seen the beauty that I see and that’s why they wanted you to be in their magazine.” He’s such a sweetheart! When I found out I was selected I was over the moon excited! I think I called my entire family. It was definitely a huge highlight to my wedding story! TELL US ABOUT YOUR COVER MODEL EXPERIENCE. Jannaé: My cover model experience was SO much fun! Right away everyone made me feel so very special. I have to say that my favorite part had to have been working with my personal team of ladies including Melissa and Lynsee from All Dolled Up Bridal + Beauty! Without them by my side I would have been a hot mess! We had such a great time together! They rocked it! IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO ENGAGED COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Jannaé: The one thing I would tell you to remember is to KEEP IT SIMPLE! A Bible scripture that helped my husband and me is found at Matthew 6:22 where it says, “The lamp of the body is the eye. If, then, your eye is focused, your whole body will be bright.” So, if you keep a simple eye you will be focused on a single purpose—you marrying your partner which is the most important thing! — so don’t become distracted with undue anxiety over material things.

time! WHAT DID YOUR PARTNER THINK ABOUT YOU ENTERING THIS CONTEST? WHAT WAS HIS REACTION WHEN YOU WERE SELECTED? Allison: He encouraged me because I’m not the type of person to enter into any contest, let alone a cover model contest. And when I was selected to participate, he just said, “Well, of course they chose you!” TELL US ABOUT YOUR COVER MODEL EXPERIENCE. Allison: It was a total whirlwind and an absolute blast. For me, the special part was that as a COVID bride, I felt like I had missed out on a lot of typical bridal experiences. I didn’t even get my hair done on my wedding day, so having a beauty team for a full day was such a treat. IF YOU COULD OFFER ANY ADVICE TO ENGAGED COUPLES, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Allison: Throw tradition and expectations out the window. We had to do that by design because we had a pandemic wedding, but it turned out that having fewer people and really making the day for us was the best thing that could have happened. I asked my husband what his advice would be, and he said to remember you and your future spouse are on the same team. The planning process can be so stressful but being grounded with trust and teamwork is so important. And folks, that’s why I married him!

Our ceremony was beautiful and emotional—you really could feel God’s presence all around us. As the sun peeked through the large oak tree, it created such a beautiful and ethereal feel, like God was smiling down at us. When I walked down the aisle, our eyes locked, and it was like no one else was around us but God. Our pastor officiated our wedding, and he opened up with a prayer. I felt us all rejoicing and giving thanks to the day. We just felt present and that nothing else mattered in the world but that very moment. —Sarah

ANDRAAS’S FAVORITE MOMENT Exchanging of our vows. I cherished the moment when my bride and I were staring into each other’s eyes as we held hands right before we exchanged the vows that we wrote ourselves. I remember every detail and all of the emotions that came with it in that moment. It still gives me chills whenever I think of it.

ADVICE FROM THERESA That one day you stress and stress about really does go by in a blink of an eye. Stop at any moment while you can, so that you can be alone together in the moment. Make it your own day; you don’t have to have the same wedding as your mom or your friend. You can step out of the box, because it is your day, no one else’s.
WHAT WILL YOUR GUESTS REMEMBER?

KRIS’S FAVORITE MOMENT I have two: 1. To get ready with my best friend, Josh. He drove me to the venue, and we prepped our suits together. It was a great and happy time. We are so thankful we have those memories and pictures to look back on and cherish. He was my right hand man. 2. To see Theresa walk down the aisle toward me was a dream—for it to finally be a reality was just awesome.
THERESA’S FAVORITE MOMENT The first look. The butterflies in my stomach, the anticipation building ...I was almost going to burst. When I saw the true happiness in his eyes, nothing else mattered or existed in that moment. Ok, well, I have a second one too...also taking pictures in the back field with those smoke bombs was so freaking cool! Exactly what I wanted to capture.

real weddings ADVICE FROM THE COUPLE Don’t leave anything for the last moment. Also intimate ceremonies are as emotional and beautiful as big weddings, so don’t be afraid to choose small or simple. Have a great photographer to capture every special moment.
BEST PART OF THE DAY Alina: Right after the ceremony. I was embraced with a strong feeling of togetherness and belonging like I never felt before. We were finally ONE! Also, the dinner we had after the ceremony— it was very special for me. Edgar: The ceremony hands down—this was the moment that we’ve been waiting so long for. Finally getting to say our vows to each other was definitely the best part. That was the moment that justified all our struggles and the moment where I felt I could keep her in my arms forever. Runner up, would be the post-ceremony photo shoot... that was just pure fun!

UNEXPECTED MOMENT My biceps were so sore the next day from holding my bouquet! Long story short ivy was a big theme of the wedding in terms of greenery. I wanted a dramatic and unique bouquet that trailed the ground, and my florist delivered! It was stunning. What I didn’t realize is how heavy flowers could be. My arms were trembling in so many photos and I felt like I’d lifted weights by the next morning. It was so worth the photos though!

ADVICE FROM THE COUPLE Talk about what is really important to each of you for the day of, right off the bat, that way if there’s anything that’s really important to one of you, it gets taken into account in the planning process and there’s no disappointment later when it gets missed or wasn’t your vision. Also, really space out your planning. It is a lot of fun, but can become more stressful than needed when there’s a lot last minute. Even if it’s just planning or saving ideas so when you’re ready to work on something you have a base.

FAVORITE PART OF THE DAY The dinner hour. Our guests sat at a mix of farm style and square tables which were decorated with greenery and candles, along with gold flatware. Frank Sinatra played in the background, and the sun was setting over the vineyard. We sat at a sweetheart table and could see our family and friends enjoying themselves. It was beautiful.

#PLANNINGGOALS It was more about pivoting than planning. We had to be flexible and realized that some things were just beyond our control. My favorite time was trying on wedding dresses—it was just my mom and me, so it was a very special moment. The biggest challenge was having to make last minute costly changes due to COVID restrictions.

ADVICE FROM THE COUPLE Wedding planning can be overwhelming. Our recommendation for couples: 1. Save money beforehand (the last thing a newlywed couple needs is a financial burden); 2. Set monthly goals for what you both want to accomplish toward planning; 3. Have patience with one another, if discussions start to escalate, revisit the conversation at a later time.

ADVICE FROM THE COUPLE Talk a lot beforehand with each other about what your priorities are for cost. That helps a lot later on when add-ons and up-charges come up, and they will come up. Also, relax. Try and find tiny little moments in the day to mentally check in because if you don’t those moments get swept away quickly.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS Our first look was so magical and a moment we will never forget. All of the emotions and anticipation of 10 years of dating and waiting for our special day were wrapped up in that moment—It was perfect. We also did a last dance with all of our guests; and then afterward, Eric and I had a final last dance just the two of us. It was the perfect way to end our big day—relishing in the final moments of our wedding day. Bliss.
UNEXPECTED MOMENT Before the ceremony I forgot to grab our wedding rings from the ring box...and realized that I left them in the middle of the ceremony area. Only moments before the ring exchange, I looked at Eric with the biggest, most panicked eyes and asked him about the rings. He chuckled and whispered, “No worries babe, I got them!” with a wink and a smile. I was soooo relieved! I couldn’t believe I forgot such an important thing!

CHARLOTTE & MARK PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATELYN BRADLEY PHOTOGRAPHY HOW DID COVID AFFECT YOUR WEDDING PLANS? COVID made budgeting a puzzle because we didn’t know how much we should spend on a pandemic microwedding, knowing that we might potentially want to still throw a bigger celebration later. So, instead of one big wedding, we were faced with the possibility of paying for two weddings: the COVID micro version and a “normal” one after. On the emotional side, it was heart-wrenching not being able to celebrate with our friends and family in person. All that said, however, the simplified wedding was also a blessing in disguise because it allowed us to focus on the elements that really matter—preparing ourselves in heart and mind for the day, and enjoying time with our friends and family in a more intimate setting, since there were only around 20 guests overall, as opposed to 100+!

WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY IF GIVEN THE CHANCE? I didn’t hire a wedding planner until the very end (like two weeks before!) and if I could do it again, I would have hired her earlier! Haley with Haley Nyal Events was indispensable and exceeded our expectations.
MEMORABLE MOMENTS Our reception was the best! Our venue went above and beyond with dinner service. Our guests were all raving about the food. We didn’t have much planned for the reception given the microwedding nature of it, but we ended up having an impromptu first dance, and the groom and the best man surprised us with a choreographed number of their own, which was a dance they had

HOW DID PLANNING GO? Stressful when the guest list kept growing, but also stressful when we cut it! Favorite times: meeting and planning with our incredibly talented and supportive vendors. No worst moment, but funniest moment was driving around town with my mom cutting dried grasses off the side of the road.

SPECIAL MEMORIES OF THE DAY Navit enjoyed posing with his sword after the ceremony, which was really funny! His son, Mason, gave a funny toast referring to his appropriate duties as the best man. It was also fun to see everyone cheering as we entered the reception. Navit and I were confident that we could learn to dance and have a Bollywood first dance.

PHILIP’S FAVORITE MOMENT The sunset photos! I thought this was so much fun—we were just married and finally getting to relax and enjoy the two of us as newlyweds.
KELSEY’S FAVORITE MOMENT The first look! I was so nervous the entire morning! I could not focus...I just needed to see my groom. The moment I saw him, my entire body felt calm. I was so relieved, this was the most perfect moment.

Light, love, warmth and human connection—just a few things that I strive to translate through my work. To me, it’s so much more than just a nice pose or a happy smile—my goal is to bring it to life through photographs that will help you remember how you felt in these moments forever.
Regally situated in the heart of historic Biggs, The Colonia Building has been standing tall in this community since 1905. Seeping in historic architecture this gorgeous space is the perfect location for the smaller, more intimate event. Farm tables and white folding chairs are included.
I love bringing the beauty to weddings, watching the venue transform into a gorgeous ambiance, and seeing the couple’s face light up when they see their vision brought to life!

words of wisdom
Michelle & Daniel
Celebrating 21 years of marriage! We recently asked this Acampo couple, “What advice or wisdom would you share with couples getting married today?” Here are their Words of Wisdom:
Laugh. A lot. Don’t they say laughter is the best medicine?
Well, it’s also one of the secrets to a happy and long marriage. Sure we do all the staples: hold hands, kiss goodnight, communicate... but what really seals the deal for us is being able to laugh. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and realize we only get one trip around this crazy thing called life, so why make the small things the big things?
From inside jokes, to movie and television quotes, humor is one of the staples to a long and prosperous marriage. (insert spock fingers)
