Elope To California - Ten Same Day Wedding Areas

                                                               Photo From Pinterest.com

Planning an elopement is considered a last minute decision. An elopement is for two people, a small destination group is the couple with friends or family - planned ahead. There are several things to consider when planning either:

1. Whether the state or country where you are planning your elopement offers a same day marriage license.  Check with them to find out what legal papers you need to gain a license.  Most marriage bureaus are open Monday through Friday from 9:am to noon or 5:pm on Fridays, but it is best to call and check.  
2. You will require a licensed wedding officiant.  
3. Marriage Laws require you bring proper documentation of who you are, your divorce certificate - if previously married and it is suggested you call the local bureau or check their website for specific rulings. California is known for gaining your marriage license in a local California city, and bringing it with you to your chosen California wedding location. It is best to check the local rulings of the county/city where you plan to be wed by phoning ahead.
4. Wedding officiants may also specialize in knowledge of the region you are traveling too.
5. There are wedding coordinators that specialize in elopements for two, the ceremonies for renewing your vows and can recommend or book your time for marriage license and honeymoon arrangements in their region.
6. It is suggested you arrive on Friday early to gain your marriage license by noon, enjoy your ceremony and have the weekend or more for your honeymoon.

Wedding Planning Coach From Hawaii To Houston, and Chicago To Santa Rosa, California

No  not  this type of Wedding Coach!

We are discussing this type of Wedding Coach

Over 80% of the brides do not hire a professional wedding planner. They ask a sister or friend to assist and that can lead to huge problems in relationships. It can also mean you get your friend or relatives  vendors and all. We also see the mother-daughter relationship dissolve over the wedding. Worst of all, the bride who is a control freak attempts to make every tiny decision and handle every problem themselves - leading to huge amounts of stress.

We sometimes see...this undo pressure --undo the engagement.   

                                                                                                                     LynnBrownPhotography.com

There is an old saying, "Hind-sight is often better than fore-sight." This is one situation where a little fore-sight goes a long way. You have this "one wedding and honeymoon" so why not make it happen smoothly.

What Is A Wedding Coach?
A wedding Coach has a back ground in professional wedding planning, she/he no longer works in the field, but offers advice, tips on planning, often great planning materials and has often taught professionals how to be planners. They are not with you on your wedding day, but TEACH you alternative methods to make it all run smoothly. Do they charge? Most do. How do they work. By phone, blog, skype, hangouts, e-mails to answer your questions and by blogging.

Brides and Grooms spend endless hours in searching the web, when really all it takes is one or two great web portals to shape up your wedding quickly.  

1.  With venues you want a resource that states the number of guests and the ambiance.
2.  With services, you want a resource that does not allow some business to add their own business....WHY - because you want experts, people in business five or more years. 
3. The search engines are pulling up only the "major players" so often you must look beyond the first or second page for real links.  This is your wedding day - you want good reputations and a history of well done weddings. Check their references.

1. The first two or three pages of results are those who have paid for visibility. The next group seems to be the phone directories, styles and review sites.  When your search time turns into something that does not pay off, frustration begins!!

The Wedding Coach Has A Few Good Research Tips. So Why Listen To Her... Judith has over 35 years in planning events and weddings and 25 as a writer and publisher of books, magazines & articles. 

1. Be very specific in your search.  ie.   sexy wedding dresses; city, region specific added to wedding venues or locations;  city + organic caterers,  best flowers for bridal bouquets at beaches.  A precious few of the web portal check out their businesses for your safety in contracting....WeddingLinks.CO seeks to achieve proven wedding venues and services in business five to twenty-five years. We realize the major portals come up in the first two pages - then go to and begin the third to find individual links.

2. Look for websites with mobile access, so you can access where you are. We see brides and their bridesmaids or grooms, taking photos and filing under specific categoies and with web addresses on their smart phones....Find some very useful APPS on HoneymoonLinks.CO.

3. Often venues are not clear on the number of guests possible at a site and you spend hours searching -- find out the location cannot hold your guest list.  Frustrating, that is why WeddingLinks.co attempts to provide the number of guests and links them under the ambiance description for venues. ie:  luxury, garden, historic, wine country, hotels, small, 

4.  Giving you the Fee may not be the best way to shop, most wedding services have a number of packages.  You want affordable to luxury, and that can range in price and expertise from one company to another.  Prices often go up with the New Year.  

5.Bookmark the websites you like... and go back often for the region you want to plan in. This way you continue to plan every detail from beginning to end with articles, blogs, videos, pinterest and the services possible for any budget in the region.

Many ladies choose simple dress styles to show off the amazing bling of rhinestones, vintage pieces and inspiring crystals.  Real or costume jewelry can be the showpiece. Bridal jewelry can be the real thing or a beautiful costume piece.  We see bling for the hands, necklaces, bracelets, toe rings, earrings, anklets and exciting hair clips and gorgeous tierras.   Tips on Selecting Your Bridal Jewelry

1. We each have different body chemistry. Some of the metals used in the jewelry may turn our skin green or dark, while this may wash off, you do no t want it happening during your wedding celebration. (suggest you wear it ahead of time to find out). 
2. Purchase from a reputable dealer with a money back guarantee.
3. Jewelry with Silver and Gold have a specific mark inbedded on the underside of the piece.
4. Purchase your dress first and then find your jewelry to coordinate with the wedding dress and signature look you want to achieve.
5. Understand tierra or crowns require extra pinning to hold them up, and can cause a headache.
6. Matching jewelry for your bridesmaids make a wonderful gift they can use for years to come.
7. Have a jewelry party at your home and let the ladies select from a pre-selected group for their individuality!

For many ladies, it is the perfect time for pearls.

LOVE Those Shoes - Seven Questions To Consider When Selecting Wedding Shoes!

Photo by DUPhotography.com

                   

I love the glamour shoes on the market…..they make our legs and ankles look amazing!

I see brides and brides to be - wearing some very unique platform shoes and strappy styles, boots and tights, and fun styles to match their attire. I have also had to help brides who fell in them, and helped tuck wedding dresses around the ankle boot worn for broken ankles. Yet my sensible fights with my shoe fetish in selecting any shoes for my wardrobe. So as a Wedding Coach, you may want a few tips on select great shoes for your celebration day.

Yes we have all been warned. Some of us are very adept at wearing very high heels. So whether you are great at wearing the 3-7 inch heels,  consider  these Seven Questions to think about as you select your shoes for your wedding day apparel.

1. Can you wear them again with anything else?

2. Are you on a beach, garden terrace or lawns with uneven steps at your venue?

3. Can you dance in them?

4. Can you score the bottoms of the soles so they do not slip on different surfaces?

5. How many hours can you stand in them without the shoes hurting?

6. Do you have strong ankles?

7. Do they make you taller than your groom?
