Northern California Wedding Planner | Finding Gratitude in Growth

It’s Thanksgiving week and we have a heck of a lot to be thankful for, in and out of wedding land. Over the course of the 2019 wedding season our team assisted 28 incredible couples down the aisle and worked with amazing wedding creatives on every detail across the board. We learn and grow with every single wedding and event that we are a part of so we know that we get to carry that wisdom and value into 2020!

The 530 Bride has grown so much from the very first inspiration blog posted in 2011, fast forward to today where our team of planners get to collaborate together on events all over Northern California! We continually work on furthering our education and knowledge in this industry, as well as striving to create a wonderful place to work.

We want to also share that after many years of watching from afar - we have finally ventured into becoming a vendor in Real Weddings Magazine. This is significant for us because we can see the amazing collective of professional wedding creatives and also the tremendous passion that Real Weddings Magazine has for the local region. Shout out to Co-Owner of Real Weddings Magazine, Wendy Sipple - this gal has so much contagious energy and creativity you just can’t help but jump on board.. You can catch us in the new issue being released this week, as well as on www.RealWeddingsMag.com over in the Planning Guide and White List vendor resource for couples.

Northern California Wedding Planner | Rustic Outdoor Ranch Wedding ~ Delphine & David

If you’ve followed us on Instagram over the last year you may have seen that our very own Delphine was a bride herself, and as a wedding planner it brings a different challenge. Imagine planning 20+ weddings and still being able to keep your own wedding planning on track! Well, we joke because when David proposed to Delphine it took her about a week to have most things planned, but we all know that there is still a lot of communication that is required to plan a wedding especially on ranch property with over 300 guests. We’re excited that Delphine and David’s big day was featured on one of our favorite blogs, Love and Lavender!
