So you really want a photo booth but can’t afford the cost? Simple! Purchase or make some dress-up essentials: hats,

boas, glasses, props, etc. and a polaroid camera. Or use an Instagram tag and a website like Polagram to print polaroid shaped pics after the party!

Interesting Fact: The term “best man” dates back to the times when Scotsmen kidnapped their future brides. The friend of the groom who had excelled at the abduction was acclaimed to be the best man.

Meet Stacy & Archie...here is their proposal story:

“On Sunday, May 11, 2014 (Mother’s Day) we went to church. At the end of the service, the Pastor asked if anyone wanted to join. To my surprise, Archie, my boyfriend at the time, urged me to go up with him. Pastor said a few words, then passed the microphone to Archie. Hmmmm, this was odd. Still oblivious to what was about to happen, I stood there quietly while Archie was speaking. The next thing I knew, Archie dropped to his knee. By this time everyone was on their feet. I said, “YES”, and the saga continues...”

One of the most important aspects of a wedding are your floral arrangements! They bring color, life and aroma to a wedding. They help make table settings more beautiful, and can bring an elegant transformation to any space. Check out one of our favorite florists! Alla at Florallia is a true artist and is amazing at what she does! Her experience and expertise shine through no matter the size or detail she works on...

If there’s a chance it could be hot during the ceremony, make or buy programs that double as fans!

Farrah + Fred 3.15.15

We met and started working with Farrah and Fred back in November 2014. From the first day meeting them, we knew what an amazing client they were going to be! Their excitement, and warm smiles never left their faces once, and carried through to their beautiful wedding day.

How They Met

“Fred and I met in Long Beach when he found my lost dog running loose in the streets. The next day we found out that

we lived in the same apartment complex.”...the rest is history!

The Details:

Farrah & Fred’s ceremony took place overlooking the beautiful waterfall here at Skylinks Golf Course. Their reception followed in our Skyroom, with a grand entrance led by a professional belly dancer. The tablescape was created with floor length deep purple linen, complimented with silver chiavari chairs. Sheer drapes were hung across the ceiling, and purple uplights added the finishing touches to the reception look. On each place setting, guests were gifted with mini bags of personalized M&Ms. Their centerpieces consisted of an array of beautiful purple roses, highlighted with hand made wooden table numbers. For dinner, guests were served herb chicken breast and grilled tri-tip buffet-style. Finally, a beautiful cake topped off the night! Amazing couple, beautiful wedding, and an amazing future. Thank you Farrah & Fred for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

“The overall experience with Skylinks was effortless and enjoyable. Anna was a pleasure

to work with and there was little to no stress at all in the entire process. We couldn’t be more satisfied

with our choice. The venue looked amazing, the ceremony was perfect, the food was unbelievable (we

had tons of people come up to us and compliment us on the food!) and the day of went smooth and

without incidents. We’d definitely recommend using Skylinks to anyone. Price wise, it was competitive

with other venues, we didn’t feel like we were overcharged at all. We’ve heard so many stories of couples

stressed on their wedding day, things being chaotic, falling apart, but our experience was the complete

opposite. We had fun, didn’t worry about anything and just enjoyed our wedding. It was wonderful! “
