Real Weddings: Blogs We Love…Dynamite Weddings
When I first found Dynamite Weddings, I instantly knew they had a good thing going.
First of all, their monkey mascots — Monica and Marvin — are a dynamic and creative wedding planning duo, ready to share their experience and expertise in the business of brides and grooms.
Second, it’s so darn useful! They’ve really scored on the utility front, providing Sacramento area brides enough helpful hints to plan their own wedding, a wedding for a friend and maybe a couple others!
There’s just so much info to be found here. The site is also incredibly easy to navigate, with a comprehensive menu at top and a bunch of “tnt” (tips and trends) on subjects like accessories, catering, etiquette, traditions, budgeting and much much more!
Although Monica and Marvin’s cute cartoon personas may have you believing that they are just a “couple of monkeys,” there’s certainly more than monkey business going on at this wonderfully efficient site.

Dynamite Weddings’ January Bridal Mixer
Jasmine, Carie and Heather from Dynamite Weddings
We recently had the honor of being a part of the Dynamite Weddings‘ January Bridal Mixer at The Citizen Hotel. And what fun it was! Not only did we get to hang with some of our favorite wedding vendors, but we got to chit-chat with some pretty cool brides-to-be (along with their friends, moms and actually one dad — love that!).
While the Dynamite Weddings’ Bridal Mixers give brides the opportunity to interact with local area wedding vendors, it also gave them the opportunity to learn more about that evening’s educational topic, What Weddings Really Cost, compiled with input from Dynamite Weddings’ Dynamite Vendors. Not to mention, brides (and all of the rest of us!) got to nosh on the tasty delights from the chefs at The Citizen Hotel and the fabulous dessert goodies from wedding-cake-designer and pastry chef extraordinaire Carissa Jones from Sugar and Spice and…
Needless to say, a good time was had by all! Check out these photos from the fun affair (courtesy of The Memory Journalists) and the highlight video from Phill Sheffield of Sheffield Multimedia.
