4 ways to throw a champagne wedding on a sparkling-cider budget
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/sex/4-ways-to-throw-a-champagne-wedding-on-a-sparkling-cider-budget-170614/
Go for the memory-making touches.
“Think about the traditions and quirks that make you unique as a couple,” says Jung Lee, owner of the high-profile event planning and decor firm Fête and author of Fête: The Wedding Experience. “Hire a great band you saw on a date, or serve the biscuits from your favorite restaurant. These small, and often inexpensive, personal touches make the day extra memorable.”
Skip the major flowers.
“They can be so expensive,” says Lee, who had one client who ordered $600,000 in table decorations. For something unexpected and chic, “fill clear cylinders with water and float candles in them. Or, like I did at one fall wedding, line the table with soy candles and baby pears.”
Create mood lighting.
“Bright lighting screams convention center or catering hall,” says Lee. If the location doesn't have dimmers, ask if you can use amber or soft pink bulbs. “Or just turn off every other light to make things look richer.”
Know where you can skimp.
One thing that nobody will miss? Favors. “Brides obsess over them, but I've never heard a guest say, ‘That was the best favor I've ever gotten!’” points out Lee. You can cut out the extra desserts, too. “Cake is more than enough.”

Old San Antonio Hospital Grounds
I had the pleasure of organizing a picnic on the grounds of the historic San Antonio Hospital in Upland. We hosted a dinner for 70 people under a beautiful arbor and got to tour the historic property (for more information on Upland History and old homes, check out my other blog, http://uplandvintagehome.blogspot.com/).
Although the grounds are not officially open to receptions, the owners are willing to work with brides one on one to see if they can accommodate your party. It is a beautiful setting for both ceremony and/or reception.
Hyatt Place- Ontario Mills
I was invited the other day to check out the beautiful Hyatt Place Ontario Mills hotel. There block rates start at $99 a night for 6+ rooms. The hotel rooms are spacious and they have the coolest invention in a hotel room I have seen, "The Hyatt Plug Panel", you can connect your computer, dvd player, xbox, etc to it use it with the TV. They also have free breakfast, free parking and a free shuttle within 5 miles of the hotel (including airport pickups and reception sites).
The hotel would also be a great place to get ready for a wedding, or boudoir shoot. Lots of space in the room and very elegant!
