It’s only been a couple months, but I actually miss planning Amy and Luke’s wedding. That’s partially because they were insanely organized and booked their wedding almost two years out (not surprising as we got to know them) and partially because they shared so much of themselves with us during the process. We watched as they practiced their 1st dance in the ballroom, followed Luke’s updates on their website and talked colors and styles. We even managed to switch roles for a minute so Luke could basically plan my incredible trip to Australia (where he’s from) complete with how to drink my coffee, (an obsession we now share) and a million other fantastic insights.
Amy and Luke are ridiculously, obviously, in love- in the best way possible. It radiates. It makes you happy. I remember standing in the ballroom during set up and Cornelia McNamara (the amazingly talented florist they worked with) turning to me and saying “Doesn’t being around these two remind you why you love weddings?” It was a small affair, a perfect dinner party- understated, classic and because of it’s intimacy, quite glamorous. They softened the walls with sheer fabric drapes and warm gold light, Cornelia out did herself with lush collections of deep wine, and aubergine, lilac and soft silvery green. Guests dined on fall inspired selections from Food for Thought and Clementine Custom Events made sure the day went smoothly.
When I was deciding which wedding should go up on the blog for the Thanksgiving week, this one jumped out for a few reasons; the rich palette and the dinner-party style -captured so beautifully by Brett and Kiri from Pen / Carlson Photography, but most importantly the energy that filled that day. Everyone that worked with these two was grateful to be a part of something crafted with so much care, and so full of love.
Have a look, be inspired, and take a moment to be thankful for the things that make you smile. Happy Thanksgiving.
