Lynwood City is 14 miles south of Los Angeles. It is part of Los Angeles County and close to South Gate and Compton. Lynwood was founded by Don Antonio in 1810 as part of a Spanish land grant. It is named after Mrs. Lynn Wood Sessions, the wife of a local dairyman who owned Lynwood Dairy and Creamery.   

The Pacific Electric Railroad company had a line that passed through Lynwood and had a P.E. Depot installed in the city, which also took the name of Lynwood. It is in the process of being made into an official historical monument.

Both Felicidades Party Supply and Decor and The Magic Rose have decorations that can fit into your budget and make your wedding day unique and beautiful. 

The weather is Lynwood is moderate year-round, but if you are planning an outdoor wedding, try and avoid the cooler, rainy months of January and February.
