Brodie and I have been busy meeting with all our vendors and putting together some of the important details. We're down in La Jolla visiting Brodie's dad and relaxing on the beach this weekend. Paula, Brodie's mom, is actually over in Vietnam touring with some of her friends and in her own words, "avoiding the stresses of tax season". This was a last minute trip or she would be here with us too :)
Today we met with our wedding photographer, Chris Humphreys and his wife Katie. They both graduated from Westmont and Katie and I were in the same dorm section our freshman year. Today we did a a short engagement photo shoot and Brodie got to know Chris and Katie a little too. I have to say it so nice working with good friends! I'm so happy they are free to capture our wedding. Chris has actually worked with a number of my friends and there is no one I trust more with this task. Check out his work because it is amazing at www.chrishumphreys.com
While we were in Santa Barbara we also got to do a few cake testings and picked a baker, Bella Dolce. So now we just have to decide on flavors and which design we like best! We're thinking about their Summer Berry cake and Chocolate Layer cake with either raspberries or Kahlua. We seriously wish we could choose all of them :)
I decided on Cody Floral. I loved sitting down with Laura and talking about flowers, colors, and designs. If you need a good florist in the Santa Barbara or Los Angeles area check her out too!
We also got to roam around the Biltmore and future site of our wedding! We absolutely love the this hotel and area. We met with the hotel's wedding coordinator and caterer. Now comes the task of finalizing a menu and deciding on the dinner buffet and what kind of food. It is our dream venue come true! You get the beach, gorgeous gardens, fabulous buildings, and amazing service. Visit their website and check out the scenes www.fourseasons.com/santabarbara
It is so nice to finally be able to start to put together all the details and really begin to picture everything.
