Real Weddings

Sam & Tyler
October 3, 2020

Winter months for a Wedding Planner mean time well spent in the office planning, dreaming, and planning some more! Between organizing from wrapping up the previous season, getting and excited for the season to come, and all the tasks in between, winter months are anything but slow!

One of the best things we get to do is re-live and share all the magic we experienced in the past season! It seems like the magic is even more important to cherish in a year where so many changes came at us throughout the year.

This wedding was nothing short of perfect, despite planning, re-planning, and then re-planning again!

Let me tell you, Sam and Tyler are two very, very special people! We started planning their special day together BEFORE covid – so our planning journey together went through it all! Our planning consultations were half about planning and the rest about restrictions, the world around us, and half about new work from home lives, quarantine stories, and just all things life and the “new” that was going on with it!

Sam & Tyler knew from the moment they started planning a few key important things they wanted for their wedding, and most important was a wedding in the backyard of their gorgeous home! They wanted the upscale wedding at home so we considered that in every decision made – and it came together as I said, perfectly!

The guest list, tent, and even formalities got smaller and smaller as the year went on, but these two not only remained honest, hopeful, and calm – they embraced the new restrictions for their gorgeous October wedding day!

They incorporated a few decor elements and special touches they weren’t planning to include before (check out the “ceremony seating” and gorgeous linens on the guest tables!)

But maybe my favorite of all was a First Look that included the entire guest count! All 19 of their closest family and friends got to be involved in the joy we see behind-the-scenes during a First Look, and let me tell you – there was not a dry eye around. While there was no dance floor, there were memories made that might have been even better than anything we could have originally planned for!
