I love getting to merge a wedding celebration with a little vacation - it's the perfect combo! During our time in Northern CA, we drank a lot of win and did a lot of dancing. It was fun getting ready for this wedding as the girls gathered in the master bathroom to get ready together, and it sort of felt like my old college days - living in a house with some of my best friends, getting ready for our weekend nights out together.
So, for this wedding - it was super hot (still), so I went for something breezy. I felt bad for the dudes in suits. They were very warm to say the least. I also wanted to keep my shoes on as long as possible - so went for a slightly lower block heel, which was actually very comfortable (and I didn't take my shoes off until a lot later in the dancing. ;) . These shoes are actually 40% off with code FRIENDS40 right now!
The wedding was held at Paradise Ridge Winery, which if I could do over again, I'd get there early to explore their expansive sculpture garden (like that LOVE sculpture in the photo below). The wedding was beautiful - and the dance floor was hopping. I took little to no photos during the reception because I literally danced all night. It was an amazing music list and we all had so much fun.
The bride and groom, as well as the bride's sister and my brother-in-law were definitely the most fun to dance with throughout the night. It was a lively crowd, and my feet paid for it the next day - in all the good ways possible.
The next day, after a brunch with the newlyweds, we headed back down to San Francisco, stopping to gaze over my favorite bridge in all the land - the Golden Gate. I can never get enough of this. It really is so beautiful. And this day, we saw a whale swimming way down there - which was pretty exciting.
