Have you ever imagined staying aboard a beautiful Yacht
for your Honeymoon or an intimate wedding ceremony?
Or having your Bachelor/Bachelorette party on a Yacht?
Most people end up staying in the same old generic hotel room in the hustle
and bustle of downtown. When was the last time you called a family memberor friend and said, You should see this place, its fantastic!
Plan to spend your special occasion on one of our beautifully appointed BoatBed & Breakfast yachts, moored at the secluded Shelter Cove Marina. For
about the same price as a hotel room you can be sleeping on the water in SanDiegos famous Americas Cup Harbor. With all of our yachts you are not rent-ing a room, you are living in a fully functional sailing ship or motor yacht thathave long histories of ocean passages and adventures. Experience what it is
really like to live at sea.

Tyler and I went to upstate New York for a friends
wedding. During the reception Tyler and I were lucky
enough to catch both the bridal bouquet and the garter.
We then drove to New York City for a few days to see the
sights because we have both never been. On our second to
last day we spent most of the day walking and taking the
subway to all of the big stops (the statue of liberty, worldtrade center; the federal reserve, etc) and our last stop was
the Empire State Building. At the top, we went outside for
the second time to take one more picture before we left,
and to my surprise Tyler got down on one knee and
proposed! It was truly a special trip, and New York will
always hold a special place in our hearts.

On this beautiful Thursday evening Tim asked Bree where
she would like to go to dinner. Bree responded that
Spaghetti Bender (in Newport Beach) sounded good, so
they left for dinner around 7pm. While they were nishing
up dinner Tim asked Bree if she would like to go for a walk
on the Beach (which is what they do sometimes when theygo to dinner at Spaghetti Bender). Once they showed up at
the beach Bree noticed lights in the distance and thought
it was a bonre. Tim nonchalantly said lets go check it
out. As they got closer Bree thought to herself how cute
someone is having a candle light dinner. As they were
walking, Tim grabbed her hand and said you know I love
you right as Bree replied yes of course I love you too. It
wasnt until she noticed her picture blanket in the sand
that she realized what was going on. Tim had candles setup in a heart shape, with pink rose petals and their picture
blanket in the dead center. Then he got down on one knee
and asked the question that will forever change their lives.

Sam Robinson from Flowers by Sam arranged two beautiful bouquets. One of the bouquets
features light green protea owers and pink roses. This paired well with the natural subtletiesof the brides hair, makeup, and dress. The second bouquet included purple hydrangeas andan array of seasonal owers. Sam incorporates the freshest owers in his arrangements andcreates works of ar t based on the owers he chooses to add. Crystals, jewels, and featherscan be added to the arrangements. Sunowers, lilies, orchids, and gerber daisies are some ofthe owers he uses in his bouquets and centerpieces. Each arrangement will be unique andcustom based on the wedding style.
Cameron Taylor Photography was able to capture every affectionate moment between the
bride and groom. The photographer captured every detail of the bride and groom. Thecontrast they interpreted while shooting in different locations was essential in creating anamiable atmosphere. The photos taken during the day aboard the yacht were uent andplayful. The nighttime photos were much dramatic and elegant. Cameron Taylor Photographyportrayed a story through the photos and envisioned what every bride wants on her bigdaylove.

What is your favorite thing about a
wedding and how do you put your personal
Promise Events touch on each wedding?
Our favorite part of a wedding is taking care of our
couple on their BIG day and understanding that
the long planning journey has reached its climax.
We made them a Promiseto think of everything
so they wouldnt have to. We oer the couple aPromiseCare Basket that they can depend on to
get them through their wedding day. Whether it
is mascara for the bride or a sewing kit, they will
have it available in their Promise Care Basket,
compliments of their Promise Events Wedding
Coordinator. This detail is to show couples that
they are in great hands with us.
bridal buzz: words from a...wedding planner
How can couples go about fnding their
inspiration for their wedding day?We always like to suggest to couples to
incorporate something from their rst date or
from the day they met. If they met over a glass a
wine they should look at a vineyard theme. If they
were introduced through friends then they could
enlarge pictures of them with those friends and
display them at the reception.
How can couples incorporate their
personal style and personality?We believe that colors make a big statement in
a wedding. Deciding what color represents the
couple best is a good starting point. If the couple
looks to inner peace and tranquility in their life,
they would be best represented by the color blue
or perhaps the couple is full of creativity and are
easily inspired by new ideas, then they would select
a shade of yellow. Colors are a powerful method of
communication.How can you ease couples minds about
going through the wedding
planning process?
Our rst goal is to ensure that our couples trust us
to guide them down the wedding planning process.
We create trust by sharing our portfolio of passed
weddings, testimonials and most importantly
designing a wedding plan custom to their wishes
prior to contracting us.
What are some of your favorite trends in
weddings right now?
We LOVE using chalkboards outdoors. This has
become a popular trend with weddings. They are
practical and easy. We like to use them to guide
guests to the ceremony and reception areas and
even to label the buet, which saves money on
printing menu cards!
Other services we oer that couples absolutely will love!
These tours are great for bachelor/bachelorette parties.
For our Long Beach couples, or those willing to travel, we
oer Wine Tours in Long Beach. Our wine tour includes
transportation and visits to two wine bars. Wine ights and
food platters included. The perfect package for wine lovers.

1. Consider your environment
It all comes down to lighting. If your event is
primarily outside, play down your makeup so
that your look does not read harsh. Ensure your
foundation covers any irritants or red spots, use
a brown based kit for your eyes, and soft colors
on lips and cheeks. Indoor lighting can drown out
your face so feel free to apply more. Cover faceevenly with foundation, choose dark tones for
your eyes, and brighter colors for your lips and
cheeks.
2. Keep it water resistant
Everyone knows wedding ceremonies can be
emotional for the bride, so it is key to make sure
that makeup does not run. Opt for water
resistant over waterproof, as it is lighter and easierto remove when the celebration ends. You can
apply a light water resistant coat of massacre over
your favorite brand to keep it in place.
3. Primer Time
The job of primers are to combat the oils in our
skin and to create a smooth canvas
for your face. Choose a primer based on your skin
type and apply a small amount over entire face.Apply it after moisturizing to waterproof your skin
for the long day ahead.
4.Set yourFoundation
The most important item for your big day,
foundation is the cornerstone to your
bridal look. Make sure it matches your skin tone,
and do not forget to blend it into your neck.
Start from the middle of the face outwards withsmall strokes using a foundation brush. Have
your photographer ash a picture of you before
the ceremony to ensure that the foundation does
not appear dierent on camera.
5. Concealer, Blush, and Powder
Concealer is best after foundation and if applied
sparingly. Under the eye up to the inner bridge
will ensure that dark circles are covered. Blend by
patting, not rubbing. For breakouts spread a light
coat of concealer, apply powder, and then reapply
another light coat. To get that bridal glow, choose
a cream blush and smile, placing the blush on theapples of your cheek and then blending out and up
into the hairline. After your makeup is applied, use
a very-ne, light-reecting translucent powder to
set it in place.
6. Touch-Up Kit
For long ceremonies, a touch-up bag is a must.
Essentials include oil-blotting tissues, your
translucent powder, and cotton swabs. Use each
of these products as needed, after the ceremony,before pictures, and throughout reception. A
small touch-up kit could be placed in a
bridesmaids clutch. Because there is going to be a
lot of greeting, eating, and talking, make
sure to keep an extra tube of your lipstick/lip-gloss
in your grooms pocket for easy access.
7. Smile!
The best accessory is a smile. Remember to relax,enjoy, and that a vibrant spirit reects in your
face. Your happiness and joy is the most beautiful
makeup.
Your happiness and joy

What should couples look for when choos-
ing their photographer?Wow, where do I begin with this one?! Everyones
uncle Bob is willing to shoot your wedding, or
cousin Joe has a nice camera, but have they ever
photographed a wedding? There are so many
pieces to the wedding photographer puzzle that
are critical: Their personality, education, technical
training, experience, photography gear, style of
shooting, etc. Its endless. My best advice to a bride
& groom who truly value their photography is tohire a professional and keep an open mind about
budget considering the importance of
documenting such a unique day. They should have
a strong connection with their photographer - a
good friendship will help the couple feel more
comfortable in front of the camera, which will
yield much better images.
bridal buzz: words from a...photographer
How do you assure your clients or couples
that you will capture the perfect shots of
their wedding day?We dedicate extensive one-on-one time with
each of our couples, educating them about our
pre-wedding planning & day-of processes. We use
written questionnaires & timelines to make sure
everything is communicated clearly. Working this
way really makes sure that nothing slips through
the cracks.
What are your favorite photo trends in
weddings?
Ill stop you right there because we are all about
creating classic, timeless images. Its not that Im
against Pinterest and others of the like, we
denitely shoot specic images that our couples
are looking for, but I feel that spending too much
time recreating images can take away from
capturing moments & emotions as they naturally
unfold. When our couples open their wedding
albums in 5, 10, even 20 years from now, our goal
is that they will be viewing classic photography in
a simple yet elegant design that is more focused
on the story of their love rather than aligned with
dated trends.
What is your favorite photo or moment to
capture?Now thats a hard question! I love so many parts
of a wedding day, like doing detailed ring shots, or
catching a reaction of a family member witnessing
the bride & grooms vows. But Id have to say my
favorite time is bride & groom portraits. Because
of our planning & style of shooting, it allows us
to work when the light is perfect for capturing
those beautiful natural-light candid moments,
plus simultaneously use o-camera lights to create
more dramatic, editorial style images. Essentially
our couples end up having portraits with more
diversity & two completely dierent styles. We tell
every one of our couples how important this time
is because these are the images they will enlarge &
hang on the walls in their home.What are the advantages of a videography/
photography team?
Since we oer both cinematography &photography services, we can save couples a lot of
time, resources, and planning headaches. Instead
of interacting with two completely dierent
vendors and going through two dierent timelines,
and dealing with two dierent styles, we give our
couples time back but still allow them to check
something o their list. Using one vendor for both
cinematography & photography also keeps our
team in sync, keeps us out of each others shots,and results in a much better nished product. They
a style that matches, an exceptional, cohesive
work product, & a better overall experience
because of our teams planning & constant
communication throughout the day.

1. Get insurance!Heaven forbid something happens to your
ringits lost, stolen, etc. For as little as
2% of the rings value per year you can
fully protect that special investment. You
will need an appraisal (which the seller
should provide free of charge) and can add
the ring/s to your renters or home owners
policy. Or, I strongly suggest checking
with Gemshield or Perfect Circle, who
specialize in jewelry insurance.
2. Have your rings inspectedAT LEAST every six months. Your
personal jeweler should give your rings
a free checkup any time you want. We
ensure that all of your little diamonds (the
big one too) are still tight and secure. We
inspect the prongs for wear, cracking,
or bending. Its much easierand less
expensiveto repair your ring than to
replace lost diamonds. This only takes a
few minutes so ask for that small favor at
least twice a year.
3. Keep it clean.I know, this sounds like a no brainer, but
you would be surprised how a tiny amount
of dirt or lm (think lotion, make-up, even
soap residue) will suck the brilliance right
out of your diamonds. Great news-- you
can NOT over-clean precious metals or
diamonds. You can scrub your ring every
single day. But pleaseALWAYS over a
closed sink, just to be extra safe. Scrub
hard with either a jewelry brush or a
toothbrush (my preference).
You absolutely will not damage your ring
by brushing with vigor, especially on the
underside of your big diamond and the
inside of your band if there are openings.
Please note, if a diamond falls out while
brushing it means it was already loose and
about to fall out. Better to come out
during cleaning so it can be re-set rather
than buying a replacement.
4. Keep it clean-er.Yes, I want you to clean your ring/s at
home all the time, but thats not the same
as letting your personal jeweler do it. I
invite my clients to stop by any time for
complimentary cleanings. I polish the
metal, use an industrial ultrasonic machine
and a steam blaster to get their rings
like-new. This only takes a few minutes
and makes a HUGE difference in theappearance. If your rings are white gold
you also may have them rhodium plated
once every year or two to keep that pure
white shine they had when they were new.
5. Love your rings.Yes, truly love them and treat them like the
treasures they are. Dont wear them
during cooking, cleaning, working out
(including Pilates or yoga!), wvvv and
sports, etc. If you bump your hand, take a
moment to check your ring over. Care for
them well and they will last a lifetime, or
even for generations

M LBY LINDSAY GOWER
Its the must-have accessory for every bride: A Marriage License! So lets review the basics you need toknow about getting licensed to wed.
Getting the License
Both bride and groom must go, in person together, to a County Clerks office. In California, you can
go to the Clerks Office in any county; it does not need to be the county in which you are having the
wedding. Neither of you needs to be a California resident to apply for a California marriage license. No
blood test or medical exam is required and there is no waiting period: You apply, pay, and receive the
license then and there.
You both must: Be at least 18 years old. If youre younger, you need consent of parent or guardian.
Bring a government- issued valid picture ID (such as a drivers license) that includes your full
legal name and date of birth.
If you have been married before, bring Proof of Dissolution. You cannot apply for a marriagelicense if you are married, even if your divorce is almost final.
What to Do With the License
You receive an unsigned license. Heres what makes it an official wedding certificate:
Get married within 90 days of the date the license is issued! Before the wedding, give the license to the person wholl ociate at the ceremony. Te ociant is
required to review the license before conducting the ceremony. Its a good idea to bring it to the
rehearsal for go over it with the officiant, and of course bring it to the wedding.
Aer the ceremony, the ociant will complete and sign the license, and have it signed by bride,
groom, and at least one witness.
Te ociant will return the license to the County Clerks oce within 10 days of the ceremony,so it can be officially recorded. Once recorded, you can buy a copy of your wedding certificate
(depending on the county, you dont receive one automatically).
IN LOS ANGELES, YOU CAN APPLY FOR A MARRIAGE LICENSE ONLINE.ITS EASY AND SAVES TIME!Once you complete the online application you can come to the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk
headquarters in Norwalk or go to any one of our branch offices to pick up your marriage license, pay the
license fee, and arrange for a civil marriage ceremony, if desired. Call or visit any of the branches listed
below for further details.

Your wedding day is you and your spouses rst, mostpublic and forever memorable expression of your lovefor one another. Every little detail from the colors of
the owers and fabrics to the perfect location and
date, you strive to make sure it is all exactly perfect
in how it speaks to your guests and expresses your
love and commitment. All of this seems manageable
enough, until you get to the music. Lots of questions
arise. What is the best style of music for my
wedding? Should I just have the DJ start and stop aCD? Do I want to walk down the aisle to a
pre-recorded song, or would live music express what
I want better? What kinds of instruments should I
have play? Where can I nd musicians to play what
I want?
Where words fail, music speaks. Hans Christian
Andersen couldnt be more right! Of all the
preparations you have made for your wedding day, noother element will bring more joy and celebration, or
express the often speechless love you have with your
spouse more eloquently than the accompaniment
of professional live music. Imagine - as your guests
arrive they are serenaded by the ethereal sounds of a
harpist, or the relaxing background melodies of the
piano. With anticipation at its peak, the string
quartet lls the air with the announcement that
the ceremony is beginning. The quartet continuesto narrate the story of your love as the parents,
bridesmaids and ower girls process down the aisle.
The quartet then quietly resolves their last note, and
after a moment of silent excitement, three sterling
silver trumpets herald your guests to their feet and
announce the entrance of the beautiful bride. As you
walk down the aisle toward the love of your life, the
harp, piano, trumpets and strings perfectly play
the special songs you have picked for this once in a
lifetime journey. As the ceremony ends, the music
crescendos to celebrate your new life together and
you recess out and into your new life. Your guests
continue to be entertained during the cocktail hour
by the sounds of the piano, trumpet and violin player
who now have your guests smiling to the sounds of
Frank Sinatra, Broadway, Pop/Jazz and all the special
requests youve made. Finally, before the party
begins with the thump of the DJs speakers, the string
quartet provides the perfect mood music as your
guests enjoy dinner with the new bride and groom.
So many brides have no idea what they are missing
out on when they allow the DJ to try and express
through music what only live professional musicians
are able to provide. Here at Soli Entertainment, we
are all established music industry professionals.
From traditional classical weddings in the chapel, to
rock-weddings in a warehouse, to everything in
between, Soli Entertainment provides you with the
best of any kind or style of musicians, bands, DJs and
live music entertainment for your special event. So
much goes into ensuring your wedding music is
perfect: acoustics of the venue, the right instruments
for the genre of music you want, the best musicians
for the job, coordinating with the wedding planner,
and more. After 10 years of providing the nest live
music entertainment around, Soli Entertainment
does it all, magnicently.
You have a beautiful love to share with the world.
Let Soli Entertainment help you express and share
that love by providing the Soundtrack to Your Life!
The Soundtrack to Your Life
So many brides have no ideawhat they are missing out on
when they allow the DJ to tryand express through music whatonly live professional musicians
are able to provide.
