California has the highest population out of any state in the United States, and the Los Angeles area has the largest population by far out of any of the cities there. With well over 16 million people in the greater metropolitan area of Los Angeles, you can probably imagine just how many weddings happen there every single year. However, with world-famous areas like Hollywood in the minds of most non-Californians, you probably have a very misguided idea of what an average wedding in Los Angeles looks like. Much to the surprise of many people, a true Los Angeles wedding is not too different from a wedding anywhere else in the country which we will demonstrate below.
Fashion
One of the biggest things that having a wedding in Los Angeles can bring to the table is a never-ending supply of great fashion. Short of Milan or Paris, there is no bigger hub for great fashion than Los Angeles. There are literally hundreds of designer shops that have any style of wedding dress or tuxedo that you can imagine if you have the cash to pay for it. If you are on a tighter budget, this large amount of designer shops means that there are plenty of second-hand stores that are filled with gently used designer fashion at a fraction of the price. Regardless of the size of your wedding budget, Los Angeles is simply one of the best places to shop for fashion in the world.
Wedding Favors
Having your wedding in California can mean a lot of great things, but one of the most obvious is that the weather is gorgeous pretty much 100% of the time. This really opens up you options in regards to what you can do at your ceremony or reception since you can only do sparklers in Los Angeles if the event is outdoors. Additionally, most of your guests will appreciate being outdoors and taking in the fresh air instead of being stuck inside on such a beautiful day. The vast majority of Los Angeles weddings take place outdoors which can really help you lower the cost of your wedding favors and decorations.
Locations
There are many fantastic locations to have your wedding in Los Angeles, but the most obvious idea that comes to mind is on the beach. With the entire state bordered by the Pacific Ocean, there is no shortage of fantastic beaches and coastline to use as the backdrop for your majestic ceremony. If the beach isn’t really your thing, you can always have your wedding in the bluffs on the east side of the city. Nestled high above the smog and noise of the city, you can enjoy scenic views and fresh air with all of your guests for your memorable day.
