I felt like I was in another world. White old world columns draped with swathes of papaya colored muslin stood tall. Arching overhead, luscious rambling greenery nestled with autumnal toned mums and roses looked almost lifelike. Like the roses might have rambled on their own to crown this beautiful scene. Lights were twinkling over head, […]

I wiped a tear as her dad held her in his arms. They danced slowly to a rendition of “My Little Girl” pre-recorded by her dad. Since Wilma’s family has always been musical and Leon plays the guitar, it was no surprise that their wedding day was full of the same. On the home farm, […]

The rain poured outside on Norma and Jose’s dusty blue and navy Wisconsin wedding day. In the sitting room of the restored victorian home at Green Gables of Bonduel, the groom waited in suspense. Just behind the glass doors, surrounded by delicate vintage floral wallpaper, Norma was waiting for our signal. It was time. She […]

The china sparkled. The overhanging basket lights twinkled. White tablecloths set off the neutral tones of champagne, copper, and earthy browns. Over the head table, a burnt orange gauze was draped, bringing the perfect pop of contrast and color. Large centerpieces of pampas grass, white roses, and greenery added the final touch to Amy and […]

Her dad’s eyes’ glistened as Mom wiped a tear. The last words of a farewell song drifted off into the chapel. Jeremiah and Elizabeth had said their last goodbyes to their family. Friends and kin gathered ’round, wishing them well with fond smiles and laughter. Then, with a last wave, they were off to their […]

I had a feeling Lisa and Lester’s Coppes Commons wedding was gonna be a fun one but I didn’t expect their incredible attention to detail. From handwritten place cards for the servers to the carefully chosen jewelry Lisa wore, each piece reflected their graceful, elegant taste. Not every couple can rock the dance floor alongside […]

The lights twinkled overhead. Guests’ quiet tones were muffled by the soft music drifting across the room. The candles were lit. Close family and friends were seated on either side of the aisle. The roses and eucalyptus draping the altar had been arranged to perfection. Everything was ready. Paul stood at the altar, waiting expectantly. […]

He was tall, dark, and handsome… but he wasn’t her type. They met at a mutual friend’s wedding and hit it off right away. Edna was a server and since Jeremy came late, she was sure he was hungry so she offered him ice cream, (four times,) to which he repeatedly replied “no thanks.” Although […]

The date was set. The venue was scheduled and the wedding dress was ready. We were only several weeks out from the wedding when I called Becca to check in on their wedding plans. News of a virus had been circulating but it hadn’t seemed like a big deal. But all of a sudden, businesses […]

Stephen met us at the door as we walked into the church house, wearing a huge smile. We had known Stephen for a while but had only seen him off an on throughout the years. He’s always had a large, bubbling personality but I have never seen him as excited as he was that day. […]
