I second shot for Luke Snyder in Saint Helena at the gorgeous venue of V Sattui Winery. The reception for Carolyn and Aaron was held inside the wine cellar and was decorated beautifully.

Everyone knows that weddings can be expensive and according to The Knot, the average cost of a wedding nationally is more than $27,000. There are always solutions for the wedding couple to cut down costs, some better than others. SFGate had an article today covering some suggestions that may provide some suggestions that I thought I would share. The topics covered include catering, cake, flowers, dress, and venues.

I was happy to see that photography was not listed because making sure you get good photos of the big day is the most important aspect of the wedding. All the topics mentioned minus the wedding dress are significant only for the wedding day but photography is something that the bride and groom can cherish for the rest of their lives.
