We absolutely love the hills around San Jose, and this location provided such beautiful views of them! We wanted to have our ceremony outside near the hills, but I really wanted an indoor reception. Of course, Eagle Ridge had both! We also knew we were going to have a very small wedding, and Eagle Ridge was the perfect size for our number of guests&#8230; However, I think the final deciding factor was the winding wisteria that covered the front of the building. Even without flowers for our July wedding, it was absolutely gorgeous and added such a romantic feel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azazie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/34036857435_641e463712_z-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azazie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/34036857435_641e463712_z-1.jpg\" alt=\"real, wedding, inspiration, bridesmaid, dresses, affordable, chic, outdoors\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Did you have a particular theme or color scheme?

My dress was almost a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azazie.com\/all\/bridesmaid-dresses\/colors-family\/pink\">pink<\/a> shade, so I thought I wanted everything else to be white with a lot of greenery.

My husband and I had weekly &#8220;meetings&#8221; of wedding planning. Usually we would wrap up the meeting with tasks to complete throughout the week. So although we spent a decent amount of time planning our wedding, we made sure that our relationship didn&#8217;t suddenly revolve around this one day! Although a wedding is a huge deal, we wanted to be sure to focus on our relationship so that our marriage could start out just as great as our wedding day would be!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far as wedding day advice, there is a ton out there. I think my personal favorite was just to remind yourself to be present. Every once in awhile on your wedding day, you should really look around and remind yourself that this is your wedding day&#8230; It helps to slow it down a little and allows you to really soak in those most precious moments.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azazie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/34036828685_8ffc00f081_z-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azazie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/34036828685_8ffc00f081_z-1.jpg\" alt=\"real, wedding, inspiration, bridesmaid, dresses, affordable, chic, outdoors\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: Did you enjoy the wedding planning process?
