small weddings

Amidst a global pandemic, Ross and Suham decided to celebrate their love with their family in an intimate backyard wedding. Can we just all agree how pretty and special, small weddings are? Let me just tell you that this one was extra special for us to design because the groom is none other than my big brother. A short engagement called for a quick action plan and the planning began.  Planning a wedding during the co-vid19 social regulations allowed us to get creative in how guests could participate safely and from afar.  Many friends watched on line and a ‘drive through’ receiving line allowed the couple to safely engage with friends while receiving congratulations and best wishes. Of course talking flowers and decor was a high lite!  Inspired by our mothers blue and white ‘Shelly’ bone china, we designed a pretty palette including, hues of blue, white and a pop of hydrangea green. With only family in attendance, we were able to include pieces of our mothers china in the place settings. Both Ross and I are suckers for sentiments so this was a win win! My talented sister Rosalyn made all the sweets and cakes, which made dessert extra special!
On top of that, my handsome hubby, officiated the nuptials so this was just all around about family coming together, to pull together and to celebrate the goodness of God.  You see, our family suffered tragic loss when Ross’s first wife, my very special sister-in-law passed away unexpectedly.  We miss her dearly, but are thankful for new beginnings, new friendships, and new love.   Many of our vendor friends jumped in to help make this day extra special and we are so thankful. Congratulations to these love birds and welcome to the family Suham!
