When the hubbs and I got married in ‘06, we had a huge wedding….360+ guests to be exact!  We had a beautiful church ceremony in Temecula, and then our reception was held in the Pala Mesa Resort under a beautiful outdoor tent.  While it was humbling that there were a lot of people to share in our special moment…it was a bit much.  So much so, that honestly, I didn’t know a large amount of people.  Most of them were my mom’s friends, and some were even friends of friends.

And if I could do it all over again, I would be extremely happy with a small intimate wedding….even if it were just the hubbs and I.

A small bed and breakfast, or Inn at a small town

Spring, maybe at the start of summer

Married by a priest in a small church

Simple side swept up do

No veil

Hair fascinator or a simple garden spray rose in the hair

Small bouquet

No big debutante ball gown

Flowing, bias cut gown

And these vintage details….
