Packing for a Destination Wedding

We've been going through some old files doing a little "spring cleaning," because we'd like to think it's always spring in california. And some of the really fun things to note are packing lists for destination weddings. Whether you're getting married in wine country, somewhere tropical or off in the mountains, it's always helpful to know what not to forget when you're packing. So, we've compiled a little list here of some of the most interesting things we encourage people to pack. Let us know if you have anything to add to the list!


-Vitamin C for good measure
-Vitamin E for glowing skin
-Multi-vitamins
-Hoodies and sweats for extra cozy down time
-Shawl or cape for windy nights

-Ginger candy, gum or tea for stomach upset
