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.

tyler & stephanie

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.

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

is the most beautifulmakeup.

7 beauty tips for your wedding day

Want to keep your skin looking radiant and fresh on your big day? Here are a

few makeup tips to guarantee that you look picture perfect the entire day.

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

5 Tips to Keep Your Rings Safe and Spectacular

Congratulations! Are you having fun showing off your incredible new ring?Holding it up constantly to see it sparkle and shine? Well, that beautiful newtreasure youre wearing needs some TLC to stay safe and gorgeous. Here are

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.
