bam - Wedding August 2020

Katie, on August 15, 2021 at 1:20 PM Posted in Married Life 2 28
We celebrated our one year anniversary and finally doing a BAM (Back After Marriage) post! The most unexpected wedding planning my husband and I (and many of you!) could’ve imagined and with these unbelievable challenges, we had the wedding of our dreams! Ironically, our plans came full circle to what was my original vision- family and close friends on the water for a soft, romantic wedding. Pre-covid, my original plan was quickly lost in hopes of pleasing all. At that time, our wedding took on a life of its own with plans of 280 guests, an impressive Cathedral and a grand indoor ballroom with the cocktail hour on the water scheduled for June 2020. A far cry from my original vision and a price tag that made my stomach hurt, but heck, this is what would make everyone happy and deliver to their expectations, right?

We postponed to Aug 2020, yet quickly realized this large wedding was not in the cards. Grabbed my partner and confided in him I never needed nor wanted this grand plan to be happy. Luckily, he was in agreement. This was our chance to have the wedding we actually intended. Our chance to bring the true meaning of our day to the forefront, forgoing the ridiculous grandiose and back to channeling our own style.
As many of you, you name it and it changed to meet restrictions (ceremony location, music as now the church organ was no longer, guest list, rehearsal dinner location, etc.). I won’t lie, it was a lot of compromise, creativity, seeing the cup half full mindset, and rolling with the punches.
Our smaller wedding of 110 guests, all outdoors, masks and hand sanitizers provided, no receiving line, 6 ft apart tables, plated dinner, limited dancing, all restrictions abided by wedding was AMAZING 🌷 We were blessed no one got covid, the safety protocols worked for us, and we loved our wedding!
Hope this provides inspiration to all of you planning! Thank you for letting me share 💛💛💛bam - Wedding August 2020 1bam - Wedding August 2020 2

    That 1st pic of you is breathtaking!!! 🤩 What an ethereal wedding. Looks so carefree, even though it sounded like a lot of detours to get to this! 💕 The photos of you both by the water are incredible. Love your “under the veil” pics too—we tried that pose but didn’t like any of ours. 😆


    Congrats!!! 🎉

    Beautiful. I love the white decor and the simple clean lines on your cake. The soft blush color against the greenery is amazing.


    Happy you had a wonderful day!
