Our favorite detail of the wedding was: Being able to have our wedding in our favorite place in the world. Cambria has a special place in both of our hearts and memories. Even though planning the wedding from a distance made it a little more difficult, it was totally worth it. It was so fun to introduce all of our friends to Cambria’s small town charm. The rehearsal dinner and reception were at two of our favorite restaurants, and our ceremony was at the most perfect old chapel. Our wedding created some amazing new memories in Cambria for us and our friends and families.
Describe your wedding cake: In lieu of a one big cake, we choose to go with a three different flavors of cupcakes. We had lemon with chocolate frosting, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate with chocolate ganache frosting. All the cupcakes were topped with silver nonpareils and tiny monograms and were enclosed in lacy wrappers. Our mini cutting cake was chocolate and raspberry, topped with a vintage bride and groom cake topper.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? The biggest challenge we overcame while planning the wedding was planning a destination wedding by ourselves while both working full time. Every spare moment was dedicated to the wedding, but it meant that we had a hand in every single detail.
Scariest moment? Hearing the rain pouring down that morning and realizing that we had not thought of a back up plan and I had no idea what we would do if it didn’t stop raining.
The most unexpected event on our wedding day was: That everything went so smoothly! My mother’s best friend took care of everything related to set up so that I was able to enjoy the day.
Three adjectives that describe the day are: fun, unique, romantic
What advice would you give to someone planning their wedding? I would advise someone planning a wedding to try to create a day that is personal and to incorporate things that are unique to you and your finance. Make lots of lists and stay organized with a wedding planner where you can keep all of your information and contact numbers in one place. Set aside some budget money to hire a day of coordinator to make sure every detail of your vision is executed, so that you and your family can relax on your wedding day. Also to enjoy it, because the day goes so fast!
Best advice or most memorable comment someone made to you during the wedding celebration. Many people told us that our wedding was the most unique that they had ever been to. It was so nice to hear that they appreciated and noticed all the effort that we had put into all the details.
Congratulations to Courtney + Erin. We wish you a lifetime of happiness!
gorgeous wedding – countless details each more perfect than the last. Love those cupcakes!
