Anyone want to post some amazing wedding work they have seen?

I would appreciate the inspiration. I recently proposed to my girlfriend. She agreed to become my fiance. Now, I am into wedding design. Any recommendations? Please? Things to think about? Best way to get things printed, pressed, embossed, whatever reasonably and economically? The wedding is for 50 so we can visit with the people we love. The wedding is in Sonoma, CA. We have agreed to have it at Landmark Vineyard: http://www.landmarkwine.com/

I would appreciate some expert advice.

I am going to break out the broad nib pen and do some handlettering. I love doing that. Alternatively, I am also looking for some great typefaces for a really contemporary, sophisticated, classy wedding look. Our wedding colors are like red and orange dahlia.

hi Caleb,
how's the designing going? I recently got engaged and am also looking at having the wedding in Sonoma area. I in in Toronto and my family is coming from all over, so California is a good middle ground for us. Trying to find stylish, graphic designer-friendly locations that will make gorgeous photos as well as have little details that we can pick up in the design of our stationery, tables, colors, etc. I started collecting some links to wedding invitations that other people have done. There's so many letterpress people in San Fran, so I imagine any of those firm's online portfolios would be good inspiration. Also designSponge editor Grace got married earlier this year so she did a lot of coverage on wedding design materials. Here's a start:
