More from the bride…

I really wanted to incorporate our mothers in the ceremony, but didn’t really like the unity candle or rose idea since it’s done all the time. My bridesmaid Shari Bare shoots a lot of weddings in Florida and she told me about the mixing sand idea. I wanted to do something unique, so I played on the sand idea with a twist. I had Benjamin’s mother bring soil from France and I had my mother bring soil from my hometown in Missouri. During the ceremony we had the mothers mix the soil in a vintage scale. It represented the blending of the families and the base for our union to take root and grow strong.

Is that dress the Romona Keveza? I think mine is the version without the one-shoulder and I'd love to see more pics!

Hi, this is the bride. Thank you SO much for the lovely comments!! Jen, it is the Keveza dress that I am wearing. The strapless one is gorgeous too, but because I'm a little more endowed up there I bought the one-shoulder strap so I wouldn't always be tugging my dress up when it was falling down! I actually got that tip from my photographer bridesmaid, Shari, to try to get a dress that wasn't strapless. The one thing I missed about not having a strapless was a stunning necklace though!! I can't wait to see your pics too. When are you all getting married? And if you want more pics just write me at lisa@glowgraphics.com. Good luck!!
