Now a successful Angeleno about to launch her very own lifestyle website, Anna moved to LA after college and originally hails from mid-Missouri! After moving to LA in 2011, she met her Fiance Ryan, a San Francisco native, only four months later at a local dive bar.

What a great real-life love story, right? When they're not busy working, you'll find them playing with their pup, cooling out at Clippers games, and sharpening their taste buds at the newest restaurants in town.

When asked about the wedding planning process, Anna gave fabulous advice-"wedding planning is as crazy or relaxed as you make it." Two of the ways she stayed on top of the planning was to figure out her budget early and decided services she wanted to pay for versus DIY while also utilizing talented friends, such as a Graphic Designer and an Event Planner.

Tying the knot in September 2015, Anna and Ryan married in Sonoma, California at the gorgeous winery, Thomas George Estates. To let the scenery speak for itself, their wedding style was casual but classic, the epitome of American elegance. Rolling hills for the ceremony backdrop, vineyards for the cocktail hour, and a wine cave for the dinner and reception. They played up the gorgeous venue with ivory and blush pink flowers, strands of string lights, and a few wine barrels.

When picking wedding favors, Anna advised that Brides-to-Be "choose favors that reflect both you as a couple and the friends and family celebrating with you that day." Since her Wedding is at a winery, guests will take home a wine glass from the venue. This option is perfect because it is "authentic to the location!" To get the look, try our "Personalized Stemless Wine Glasses." Or try another winery style favor such as our "Murano Art Deco Tear Drop Design Wine Stopper."

When asked about her final thoughts for AnneMarie Brides, Anna emphasized the happiness surrounding getting married. "Just have fun! You're only engaged once and it's such an exciting and emotional time," Anna wisely suggested. "Don't stress yourself out over every little detail because the day will be perfect! You're marrying the love of your life - nothing can ruin that."
