Do yourself a favor and hire Lori at Elegant Affairs. She is amazing. When we first met with Lori, we explained that we wanted a small, simple wedding at our home (20-25 guests). We wanted it to be more like a house party, less like a wedding…and she delivered...big time! From planning, decorations, seating, recommendations on a photographer, to writing the perfect script for our ceremony and backing us up when the caterer decided to bail...Lori was fantastic. Every one of our guests had a great time, everything came together. Even when we surprised her at the last minute with some minor changes (like when we told her a week before the wedding that he had a live band coming), she was professional, and on top of it all. Nothing fazed her! Seriously people...if you want a professional who delivers at a great price and provides an amazing ceremony and event...she’s the one I’d recommend!
~Lorre + Dave, Private Residence, April 20, 2019
Photographer: Amanda Lloyd // Wedding Planner + Officiant: Elegant Affairs // Florist: Oak + Fig Floral // Rentals: American Party Place + Celebrations
I had the honor of not only planning Lorre + Dave’s home wedding, but I got to serve as their officant.
When I first met with the couple a few months before their big day they told me exactly what they wanted for their small intimate wedding and then they just let me go! And I sure did!
The first thing I started with was reaching out to Oak + Fig Floral to create romantic centerpieces that could stand up against a dark purple linen without getting lost. The bud bases with flowers, greenery and floating candles were the perfect trio for the table design.
For the ceremony, the couple’s perfectly landscape backyard before the ideal backdrop for them to exchange I DOs.
The couple were surrounded by 20 of their family and closest friends and the day couldn’t have been more perfect. After the ceremony, guests ate and drink and danced. All in all this was the perfect upscale backyard wedding!
