A classy-as-hell San Francisco wedding of two ladies
Marisa and Evan had a classy San Francisco wedding at the Foreign Cinema. After getting ready at the Hyatt, they took a party bus to the Embarcadero for portraits which led to many cheers from onlookers.
What crying after the engagement party taught me about wedding planning
We had an engagement party thrown for us by a wonderful friend. And it was fun. And I was so thankful. And it was filled with love. But the next morning I woke up crying. WTF!? Here’s what I realized when I had unpacked those unexpected tears of sadness, and how I’m making sure I don’t cry again after our wedding…
Groomsgirl rules you HAVE to live by
These are the official rules that all groomsgirls, best women, and any ladies standing by their favorite dudes: there are NO rules. We recently spied Orange is the New Black’s Lauren Lapkus at this super gorgeous vegan and pink wedding as one of the groom’s attendants. She ROCKED a feminine suit that matched the groomsmen and even walked one of the bridemaids into the reception. Hell yes! After that, we knew we needed another reminder of how awesome groomsgirls and best women can be. (Oh, and spoiler: these tips totally work for bridesdudes, too!)
Here are the things you totally do not have to do as a groomsgirl:
It’s all fun and games until an epic cueca starts (learn what it is!)
“The couple that plays together stays together” was the motto of Drea and Steve’s wedding. This was evident from start: the wedding invitation that was delivered in a cornhole bag!

Offer temporary tattoos to ink up your guests for maximum radness
Marissa and Josh’s red rockabilly wedding had so much character. But one detail that totally matched their theme was the temporary tattoos they offered as favors to their guests. Considering it was an already-inked rockabilly-themed wedding, the guests HAD to look just as kick-ass as the couple. Faux tattoos did the deed admirably.
Bubble guns and ribbon wands: a colorful playful wedding that will tickle your inner child
Colleen and David rocked so many killer ideas for their colorful playful wedding that we can barely fit it all in telling you about it. You’ll scroll through these photos writing down everything you see. First, the colors: tangerines, raspberries, corals with accent of aquas. It was definitely a playful vibe over super romantic and sacred.
Second, the decor: water tower table numbers from brown craft kits. Adorable. They held a crafting contest for best centerpiece decoration during dinner and had a table full of markers, googly eyes, and more. Don’t miss the handmade signs, 160 ribbon wands, and bubble guns. This one is a winner on all fronts, but especially for FUN. Let’s see it…
