Our Unforgettable Wedding Journey
Our wedding journey was one filled with love, joy, and unforgettable memories. From our honeymoon in Sicily to the details of our special day, we immersed ourselves in the beauty of our union. In this article, we will take you through the various aspects of our wedding, from fashion to photography, and share the highlights of our journey. Let's embark on this adventure together!
Honeymoon in Sicily
Our honeymoon in Sicily was a dream come true. We experienced the wonders of this beautiful Italian island, from its sunny beaches to its historic cities. Despite the occasional rain, we made the most of our time together, exploring charming towns and enjoying each other's company. However, amidst our bliss, we couldn't help but miss our children, longing to be closer to them. Despite the distance, we found solace in video calls and messages, cherishing the moments we could share with them while still reveling in the magic of our honeymoon.
Fashion
The fashion choices for our special day held great significance. From the bride's dress to the groom's suit, every detail was carefully considered. The bride's dress, a masterpiece of elegance and romance, was sourced from a company called The Two Sisters. Made from upcycled saris from women in India, it featured a beautiful grayish-blue color and intricate details that complemented the bride's style perfectly. The groom's suit, a custom creation, showcased his unique personality with carefully selected fabric and design elements.
Our children's outfits were equally charming. Our daughter wore a lovely dress from Mango, adorned with floral lace or polka dots and lace, paired with cowboy boots that added a touch of whimsy. Our son donned a suit from H&M, paired with a bowtie and blouse, creating a dashing and adorable look.
Photography and Videography
Our wedding memories were expertly captured by a talented photographer named Marika Buffet. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, Marika ensured that every precious moment was immortalized in stunning photographs. Additionally, we had the pleasure of working with videographer Marian Labum, who captured the essence of our special day through her lens. Although we eagerly await the final video, the stills she shared with us were already breathtaking, leaving us excited and filled with anticipation.
Wedding Morning
The morning of the wedding was filled with excitement and anticipation. The bride was up early, restless with nerves and eager to begin the day. As she prepared for the festivities, she documented her emotions and preparations on a vlog camera, allowing us to share in her journey. From the contemplative moments of reflection to getting her hair and makeup done, every step brought her closer to the magical moments that awaited her.
Wedding Details
The wedding was a culmination of meticulous planning and attention to detail. From the installation of decorative shutters to the unique first look in front of the house, every element added to the beauty and personalization of the day. The couple, together with their loved ones, enjoyed a beautiful ceremony amidst the charm of a greenhouse, where raindrops created a soft and ethereal ambiance. They also had the pleasure of indulging in delicious sweet treats and dining amidst the natural beauty of their surroundings.
Highlights and Special Moments
Aside from the stunning visuals and carefully planned details, there were several highlights and special moments that stood out during the wedding. The installation of the decorative shutters, which almost didn't happen, added an unexpected touch of charm to the venue. The first look, where the groom stood with his back turned and the bride approached him, was an emotionally charged and intimate moment that symbolized the beginning of their journey together as husband and wife.
Personalized ring boxes, thank-you gifts, and an envelope box made by the couple added to the overall ambiance and served as memorable keepsakes. The couple was overjoyed to receive a preview of their photos from the photographer and eagerly awaited the final video from the videographer. These beautiful mementos will be cherished for years to come and shared with loved ones on YouTube and Instagram.
Personalized Robes and Slippers
The morning of the wedding was made even more special with personalized robes and slippers. The bride sported a beautifully embroidered bathrobe with her name on it, adding a touch of luxury and elegance to her getting-ready moments. As the couple enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, they wore matching slippers, with the groom's sporting the title "Mr." and the bride's displaying "Mrs." These small details added a sense of comfort and style to their pre-wedding rituals.
Children's Outfits and Footwear
The couple took great care in selecting the perfect outfits and footwear for their children. Their daughter's dresses, purchased from Mango during an end-of-season sale, exuded effortless charm and sophistication. Paired with cowboy boots, the dresses allowed her the freedom to explore and play without worry. The son wore a stylish suit from H&M, complete with a bowtie and blouse that perfectly matched his vibrant personality. The children's footwear choices, be it cowboy boots or Converse All-Stars, were not only stylish but also practical, ensuring their comfort throughout the day.
The Wedding Dress
The bride's wedding dress was a true reflection of her personal style and vision. After searching in traditional dress stores and not finding the perfect fit, she turned to Etsy. There, she discovered a talented designer who specialized in custom-made dresses. With her measurements in hand, she took a leap of faith and ordered a dress that perfectly embodied her desired aesthetic.
Upon receiving the dress, her excitement was palpable as she tried it on for the first time. Though there were minor adjustments she would have made in hindsight, the overall effect was breathtaking. The lace, the back, and the silhouette all worked together to create a dress that left her in awe. The dress held sentimental value, as it was one-of-a-kind and would forever be a symbol of their special day.
Wedding Decor and Accessories
The couple paid careful attention to the wedding decor and accessories, ensuring that each element matched their desired aesthetic. From floral decorations to glass bottles for table decor, their choices added a touch of elegance and romance to the celebration. Personalized wedding vows booklets, a wedding carpet, and pillows provided warmth and comfort, creating an inviting and cozy atmosphere for their guests. Thrift store finds also played a part in their decor, adding a vintage and eclectic charm.
Bumps in the Road
No wedding journey is without its hiccups, and our special day was no exception. The bride faced an unfortunate injury to her lip the day before the wedding, which caused swelling and added a blue tinge. However, with the help of her own foundation and careful application, the effects were mitigated and did not overshadow the joy of the day.
Additionally, a wardrobe mishap with the bride's bra caused minor visible discomfort. This could have been easily remedied with a safety pin, which unfortunately was not readily available at the time. These small obstacles served as reminders that even the most meticulously planned events can encounter unforeseen challenges.
Wedding Party and Celebration
The wedding party and celebration were filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Guest performances added an extra touch of joy and personal connection. Everyone embraced the joyous occasion, dancing the night away and creating memories that would be cherished for a lifetime.
Every detail of our wedding journey was carefully curated to reflect our love and commitment. From the fashion choices to the stunning photography and heartfelt moments, our special day will forever hold a place in our hearts. As we look back on our journey, we are grateful for the love and support of our family and friends who made this day truly magical.
