Lodging in San Pedro

So I was looking in the area for a couple good hotels to recommend. There are many options in the area, but two very common and prestigious places. These will unfortunately be on the pricey end, but they are well known.

OPTION 1:

Los Angeles Harbor Hotel - Crowne Plaza
601 S. Palos Verdes St.
San Pedro, CA 90731
1-800-972-2576
(310) 519-8200

Weekend Rates:
Double Beds ~ $136-$184/night
King Bed ~$128-$174/night

OPTION 2:

Doubletree Hotel San Pedro
2800 Via Cabrillo Marina
San Pedro, CA 90731
(310) 514-3344

Weekend Rates:
Queen/King bed ~$169-$199/night
Double beds ~$179-$199/night

I am just doing these two for now. The Doubletree hotel is directly across the street from where our ceremony will be held. Do keep in mind that there are alternative places to stay, but they may be less desirable, yet they most likely will be a tad cheaper. I'll give you a list of a few of those places as well in another posting.

The Infamous Cake Topper

It has been fun searching on the internet and gathering ideas for our wedding. Recently, there has been a search for the cake topper. We couldn't decide what should adorn the top of our cake. Something different, something unique in its own way. We didn't really want something porcelain or plastic. Flowers are always an option, but not sure if that was the way we wanted to go. But then I found Etsy again. I have visited Etsy.com and I have run across things posted on Etsy, but I haven't really sat down and searched through the beautiful creative pieces located on that site.

Yet low and behold, by taking the time to rummage through Etsy, we have found our cake topper. Love Birds. We could not pass up the cute, neat little birds made by one of the many creative people found on Etsy. So to conclude my rant - Be prepared to see our custom made Love Birds perched atop our tasty cake. The picture posted above is a similar order, but not exactly what we desired.
