{Real Wedding Decorations} Tracy & Jason DeLong Reception April 26, 2012

On Saturday April 14, 2012 Tracy Toscano and Jason Delong were wed at a local church and celebrated their reception at Menifee Lakes Country Club. The room was filled with champagne and pink accents and was wonderfully lit with the candles on the tables, the draping with lights and the roaring  double sided fireplace which warmed the reception area and bar perfectly on this cool Saturday evening.

The couple utilized the mirrors and candles provided by Menifee Lakes Country Club adding  pale pink and ivory rose and hydrangea centerpieces on each table.

The couple kept it traditional will a simple  three tired wedding cake and added a simple D Monogram topper to the cake.

The couple also incorporated the tradition of a grooms cake with a special marine corps designed cake, which tied in nicely since the groom was in full uniform for the wedding.

Congratulations Tracy and Jason and best wishes!

{Tuesday Tip} Bare Your Budget April 17, 2012

Bare your budget.

Be clear about what you can spend when you meet with vendors. It saves time and will spare you from browsing fancier options that may tempt you into spending more than your means. Also remember, it is your wedding and their means of business so be polite.

{Tuesday Tip} Find a Furnished Space April 10, 2012

Whether your wedding budget is $5,000 or $50,000 it is all about the bottom line so to help save some serious change find a furnished space. Reduce rental costs by picking a site that already includes tables, chairs and linens. It also means you won’t have to pay extra to have someone set them up and break them down or do it all yourself on the day of the wedding.

Often times you find a great pair of shoes and cannot wait to wear them for a night out on the town.

Shoes like these can quite possibly ruin your night and uncomfortable shoe drama is definitely something you don’t want ruining your fabulous wedding and reception.  That’s why we have to share this amazing post from The Beauty Department on how to break in your wedding day shoes. Follow their advice and you may be walking on air at your wedding reception.
