Bridal Website
Every bridal party of Sunshine Weddings has the opportunity to have their personalized website designed for the wedding party. This is a great way to communicate details such as choice of airlines, hotel and car hire discounts and any pre & post wedding parties that are planned.
Below is a recent example of the site that an American bride and groom used to inform their guests of their activities and travel information.

Lisa Richards & James Keston
We are thrilled that you will be joining us in Spain for our wedding. We both have incredible memories of living and traveling in Spain with our friends and we are looking forward to creating new ones in May 2011. Spain is notable for its delicious tapas, its endless nightlife and its rich history.
We will kick off the weekend on Thursday, May 26th in Marbella. Marbella is a beautiful beach town where we can relax and soak up the sun. Thursday night, we will be hosting a casual dinner of traditional Spanish tapas on the beach.
Friday, May 27th depending on what you want to do may be a beach day, a golf day or, for fun, a team sports and activities competition day (WITH A SPECTACULAR PRIZE FOR THE WINNER). Friday night, we are excited for you to be our guests at one of our favorite restaurants in town.
Saturday, May 28th, we will provide transportation from Marbella to Seville (approximately a 2 1/2 hour drive) with a stop midway at the beautiful, historic Ronda Roman ruins site for lunch. Saturday night, we will be hosting an incredible dinner at a beautiful restaurant with an amazing view of Seville's Guadalquivir River.
Sunday, May 29th is the BIG DAY. The venue, Hacienda Los Angeles, is about 20 minutes from the center of Seville (where the hotels are) and we will provide transportation to and from the Hacienda. According to legend, the beautiful Hacienda Los Angeles was owned by the family whose relatives settled in California and gave its name to our city.
On Monday, May 30th many of you will be leaving to go back home. We will provide transportation from Seville to Malaga airport for those of you flying from there.
We will be continuing to update this site until the wedding so please continue check for new information.
