What is your best memory from your wedding?
wedding style: My wedding dress was a 2 piece off the shoulder, ruffle top with drop waist full tulle skirt by Laury Bride. Laurie custom made this dress for me in 3 weeks. My favorite wedding accessory was my headpiece, created by Twigs and Honey. I felt like a princess in my floral crown. My second favorite wedding accessory was my “something blue.” My Mom gifted me a 4 carat emerald cut blue sapphire on the wedding day.
My best memory is the creative way we acknowledged the season. We could not ignore that we were getting married in the midst of a pandemic. Not only did we decide to protect our guests, but do so in a creative way: food trucks, custom masks, custom hand sanitizer bottles and signs reminding to social distance that read, “make the love last give me 6ft.” What is the best wedding advice you can give to engaged couples planning for their wedding during the COVID-19 Epidemic? You do not have to sacrifice style just because you are planning a smaller wedding with restrictions. In fact, a smaller guest count allows you more budget to personalize details for your guests. Getting married during a pandemic is historical, so document the moment in your day.
