America's Finest City finale for the bride
This is the final challenge! Take an amazing closing group photo where the bride wears a full bachelorette accessory set (sash, veil, the works) with a San Diego backdrop (Coronado at sunset, the Midway in golden light, La Jolla cliffs at dusk). A photo for the wedding slideshow, well done everyone!
Coronado Bridge bridal backdrop
The 2-mile blue Coronado Bridge curves over San Diego Bay. From the Embarcadero or Coronado Ferry Landing, take a group photo with the bride centred and the bridge filling the frame.
Coronado sand bridal shot
Coronado Island's white sand is some of the cleanest in California. Take the ferry or drive over, find a stretch of beach with the Hotel Del Coronado red turrets behind and take a group photo with the bride centred in white, the team around her.
Fish taco bridal toast
Order a round of fish tacos (Oscar's, South Beach Bar & Grille, Blue Water Seafood Market) or California burritos and take a group photo with everyone, including the bride, taking the first bite at the same time.
Gaslamp neon bridal shot
The Gaslamp Quarter's iconic neon sign arches over 5th Avenue. Find the sign and take a group photo with the bride centred under the neon, the team posed around her.
La Jolla sea-lion bridal serenade
La Jolla's Children's Pool and Cove are home to harbour seals and sea lions. Find a viewing wall and take a group photo with the bride listening to the sea-lion barks, seals visible behind (respect the closed beach in pupping season).
Local San Diegan bridal tip
Convince a local San Diego resident to share one favourite rooftop, beach or bachelorette tip. Take a photo with your impromptu guide and the bride, remember the tip.
Mission Beach boardwalk shot
Mission Beach's boardwalk runs three miles along the Pacific with rollerbladers, cruisers and the Belmont Park rollercoaster. Find a stretch and take a group photo with the bride walking the boardwalk leading the team toward the camera.
Recreate the bride's wildest moment (San Diego)
Everyone knows that one legendary night out. Imitate the bride at her most wild moment ever. One person plays her, the rest directs, capture it in a photo or short video. Best impression wins.
Rooftop brunch margarita
The Gaslamp has dozens of rooftop bars (Altitude Sky Lounge, the Rooftop by STK, Side Bar). Find one with a view, order margaritas and take a group photo with the bride leading a toast, every glass in shot.
San Diego bride lift
The party begins! Take a group photo where the bride is triumphantly lifted up by the team with a San Diego backdrop (a palm against blue sky, the Embarcadero, Coronado in the distance). Higher and louder, this is your opening shot!
Sunset Cliffs bridal silhouette
Sunset Cliffs Natural Park in Point Loma gives you San Diego's best sunset. Drive west in the late afternoon, find a cliffside lookout and take a group photo with the bride silhouetted against the Pacific sunset.
To Gaslamp Quarter (bride)
Navigate to the Gaslamp Quarter downtown and check in around 5th Avenue and Market Street with the bride.
To La Jolla Cove (bride)
Drive north to La Jolla and check in at the Children's Pool or La Jolla Cove on Coast Boulevard with the bride.
To USS Midway (bride)
Walk west along Broadway Pier to the USS Midway Museum and check in by the gangway with the bride.

Trivia: First California mission

Unconditional Surrender kiss
Across from the Midway stands "Unconditional Surrender", the giant statue of the sailor kissing the nurse. Take a group photo where the bride recreates the pose with a willing teammate or a kissable cardboard cutout.
USS Midway carrier shot
The USS Midway is a retired aircraft carrier turned museum. Find a wide angle on the flight deck silhouette from the Embarcadero and take a group photo with the bride centred and the carrier behind everyone.
White for the bride in San Diego
The bride is the star today. Make sure everyone in the team wears or holds something white, find a Coronado beach, a Gaslamp facade or a La Jolla cliff, and take a group photo where the bride stands out in the centre.
