Last Thursday and Friday, my husband and I went to Solvang, Ca for our anniversary. Solvang is a small little town established by Danish settlers back in the early 1900s. The architecture and atmosphere is fashioned after traditional Denmark. It is located in the wine country made famous by the movie “Sideways” north of Santa Barbara.

We stayed in a place called the Wine Valley Inn (picture below) which was quite a good deal considering it’s right downtown (less than $100/night). So, what did I like about Solvang? The weather was great, there’s bakeries everywhere and they are awesome and what else? Wine! There’s a bunch of wine tasting rooms all over the place. We really liked The Olive House where they had an olive and wine tasting. They actually paired the different stuffed olives with a different wine which you got to taste together!

Anyway, if you are looking for destination wedding options, you might want to check out Solvang. Not too sure if it would be a good idea for a huge wedding. But if you are having a small quaint wedding and want your guests to get a taste of wine country, check out Solvang.

Again, these are some of the posts I enjoyed this week while exploring the wedding blogosphere, in no particular order. If you have other posts you enjoyed feel free to share them!

- Leslie from Decidedly Uncomplicated gave some great advice about having an “uncomplicated” destination wedding at home. Doesn’t make sense to you? It will after your read her post “Destination Wedding Right Here at Home.”

These two posts deal with family issues. Everybody has them!

- Never teh Bride from Manolo for the Brides is back from her wedding with a great post about dealing with family during your wedding. Checkout The Pleasures and Perils of Family

- Miss Kiwi at Weddingbee wrote about conflict with family members in her post “We are Family – Just Not You” This will strike a common cord with many of you. Everybody has family conflict at one level or another so check out the advice in the comments, it might help.

These next two posts contain interesting information about having alternative wedding receptions.

- Ethical Weddings had a great post about things to consider if you want to have a vegetarian reception. It’s not just the food that you need to think about. Check out Katie’s Vegie Wedding post.

- Christie over at Our One Heart had a great post about having an alcohol free reception. She past on some info she found at Event Ethos. Alcohol addiction has destroyed many families and lives so I can see why some people would not want to have it at their wedding reception. Her post “No Alcohol at Your Wedding?” has great advice if you want to go this route.
