The ceremony took place in a Flagstaff meadow and the reception was held at the Bride’s parent’s private estate. Covid19 forced the couple to part with their dream venue and reconstruct the reception in her paren’t backyard. It was a gorgeous display of the flexibility we’ve all learned this year.
Julie’s only request was that her wedding design include sunflowers... an ingredient I tend to shy away from. I think they are difficult to use and typically disruptive with their dark centers. But I am SO grateful to Julie for allowing me to sub the traditional sunflower with these luscious chocolate sunflowers and for pushing me out of my usual comfort zone. These arrangements are some of my absolute favorite.
On March 22, 2020 J & C held an intimate, 5 person wedding ceremony at their family’s private estate in Paradise Valley and live streamed the ceremony for their friends and family to witness. It was a joyful and cheery day despite the strangeness of COVID-19 and I have never been more grateful for flowering or the hope that love brings.
