Fun Facts:

1. "I had a deep love for the movie 'Mamma Mia' when I was a little girl, and specifically the wedding scene at the end of the movie with the draped lights, candles, flowers, and the intimacy of the whole setup. That was something I dreamt of trying to recreate in the best way possible, and I feel like we nailed it. My husband and I both incorporated pieces of things we enjoyed throughout the decor, but he supported me taking the artistic lead in the color schemes and full setup."

2. Honeymoon location: Agioi Theordoroi, Greece

Words To Live By: 

"Don’t let the stress of preparing for a wedding take away from the joy that is coming. Meaning, don’t allow the financial part of things, and the catering, and setting up all the details to take away from the magic of the day you’ve dreamt of your whole life. There’s still magic in the details and the chaos of planning. You just have to find it. The journey is what YOU make of it. You’ll miss out on the beauty of it if you let yourself stay focused on the negative.

Have fun with it all. Don’t do all of it to impress anyone but yourselves. Remember this is for you and your partner, no one else. And even when the wedding madness dies down, and the family returns home, remain in the magic of the love that you share. Carry it into your home, and make sure to live it out daily. To love someone is not based on a feeling, but a deep-rooted vow that is upheld in every bit of what life has to throw at you. "
