Landtscap Summer Wedding
2020, A year no one will forget anytime soon. This beautiful Landtscap Summer Wedding was one of the few weddings that actually happened in 2020 and once you start reading you’ll soon understand why this was one of the favoured ones. It starts with a miracle and ends with many blessings ….
Getting Ready
The testimony of the miracle this story starts with is not mine to tell, but I can honestly say that Bride Carmen is a breathing miracle. Having survived a horrible car accident and having a miraculous recovery; has just made this super talented and dynamic young woman such an amazing testimony to God’s wonderful grace in our lives.
It’s no wonder that on the morning of Rowan & Carmen’s Landtscap Summer Wedding I was moved to play “The Blessing ” on full volume in my home as I went over my prewedding equipment checklists. Knowing Carmen I’m sure she also took a moment of quiet time before starting the day of all days. Her wedding day…
The Ceremony
Having Faith is probably the most important part of a miracle. This couple has faith aplenty! With undying faith in their Maker; despite a venue change, the uncertainties of 2020 and combined with the normal, healthy does of wedding jitters they got to say “I Do” in a year when many had to postpone or cancel their weddings. During their ceremony the received numerous blessings upon their union. My favourite was definitely when I heard that their chosen worship song was “The Blessing “. Grace at work !
God is shining his face upon these two, of that my heart is sure. I pray that He continues to keep them and be gracious to them. His favour is not only visible in the here and now of their marriage, but that it transcends into favour and blessing upon the many many generations to come.
When life is beautiful we celebrate and what better way to do that then with the beauty of flowers. These insanely beautiful floral designs and installations were done by none other than the Inimitable Mabel M Florals. Mabel’s passion for creating one of a kind unique sustainable floral art creations; is what I love about working with her. Having formed a special bond with Bride Carmen, Mabel’s creativity took flight and she blessed Rowan & Carmen’s day with one of the most beautiful and unique floral & decor setups.
and the couple loved it ….!!
Due to lockdown level 2 curfews and everybody being compliant, our schedule for the day was a bit different to the norm but then again, what was normal about 2020! So we started with the reception soon after the family formals were captured and ended the day off with their sunset couple shoot.
I speak for all the vendors involved that this was such a blessing on all of us to be able to be part of this special day for Rowan and Carmen. After a year of many postponements and cancellations, this Landtscap Wedding will be remembered as a little piece of “normal” in 2020. The Global Wedding industry is one of the hardest hit by this pandemic, and couples like this remind us why we do what we do ♥
