Personalized Touches: Memory Charms

Details with a personalized touch make a wedding more your own. I am often asked by brides how to honor a loved one during their wedding who can't be present at the event. This can be because the friend or relative lives far from the venue, or is sick or has passed away. A bride can even want to remember her beloved family pet.

A memory charm, or several of them clustered together, is a simple detail that when attached to your bridal bouquet, allows you walk down the aisle with that loved one. A variety of memory charms are available on etsy.com. Find the one that matches your style and budget here https://www.etsy.com/search/weddings?q=memory+charms

Wedding Wednesday: Allie & David

March 16, 2014 | Green Gables Wedding Estate

Their Story: Taking place at a vintage school house, Allie and David were married under a gazebo surrounded by a garden of bright flowers, beautiful roses and even a antique swing. The school house bell chimed at the close of the ceremony, consecrating their marriage. The reception was held in a charming tent opening up to the garden and romantically lit by sparkling lights and huge chandeliers.

Wedding Wednesday: Kimberly & Matthew

4/4/14 | Green Gables Estate | London Light Photography
Their Story: There are many things to love about Kimberly and Matthew as a couple. They are two amazing lovely people, who show so much love to all they encounter. Green Gables Wedding Estate is a lush, artistic, english garden dream. From the moment they walked through the garden gates, a feeling of tranquility overcame the couple. It would make for a perfect location for Kimberly and Matthews wedding. There were a lot of behind the scene sentimentalities incorporated into the wedding. The lace wrapped around Kimberly's bouquet was from her mother's wedding dress which was made 45 years ago! Mom also made Kimberly's sisters' and niece's handkerchiefs with pieces of the her vintage wedding dress. Also wrapped around Kimberly's bouquet was Matthew's mother's necklace. She passed only 6 months before the wedding. Purple garnished the venue, in honor of Matthew's mother. It was her favorite color. Matthew's boutonniere was wrapped with a piece of his father's tie who also passed away.
