Drawing maps to your Northern California Wedding- Real Wedding Blog by Amber
One of the small details one runs into when planning a wedding in an out of the way location is making sure everyone arrives to that location with minimal u-turns and stops at the gas station to ask for directions.

Thankfully, I would characterize the relationship between Will and I as an equal partnership, and therefore there will be no modern day fondant or frosting destroying my hair, makeup, or [beautiful] dress.

Northern California Bride Blogger- Amber- Food for Thought
As a child my parents were constant entertainers, with parties that ranged from 8 to 100+ people on a semi regular basis. And they never hired caterers. Ever. They did it all themselves. Eventually, it became all of us doing it ourselves. Which is why, as an adult, cooking for large groups has never been extremely daunting to me. Continue reading
