Wedding Wise Wednesday – March 9

Every Wednesday I bring you the coolest wedding stories, events and deals in Los Angeles and around the web. And we call it Wedding Wise Wednesday. Welcome!
Cool Wedding Thing of the Week:
Thanks to Project Wedding, I now know The Beatles Cake exists, and can be replicated, which pretty much made my week.

Cool Wedding Thing of the Week #2: This awesomeness was in April Rocha’s booth on Sunday. She can take one of your favorite wedding pictures and put it on a notepad for you.

Scroll down to “Deals” for a great offer she’s got going until the end of March.

Cool Wedding Thing #3: Bride Tide posted some hilarious wedding-related postcards this week, from somecards. I’ve got three brides going through this right now, actually. Just go…and laugh. Or cry. Thanks to Bridal Snob for the find.
