Idag ska vi få ta del av bröllopet mellan Ally och Cavan som gifte sig i augusti 2020. Deras första plan var att ha ett stort trädgårdsbröllop för alla sina nära och kära, men när Corona slog till fick de endast ett par månader på sig att planera om sitt bröllop. Paret valde att inte flytta på sitt datum, utan ville hellre sadla om till microbröllop. Tillsammans med sin bröllopskoordinator Sam från EVL Events planerade de ett romantiskt trädgårdsbröllop med lantliga och rustika influenser. De valde att anlita Anomaly Photography & Design som fotograf och genom hennes bilder ska vi idag få uppleva Ally och Cavans bröllopsdag.

Så träffades brudparet

Ally: We met in the cutest little ski town, Ellicottville, NY, which we now call our hometown! My husband actually grew up here and I was in town visiting a friend. Our friends were dating at the time so we met out for drinks and the rest was history! The proposal was a surprise! I would say shock, but we had been dating for 6 years and had built a house together. We had just sold our first house together, which was my grandparents old house. It had been in my family for 60+ years and was obviously very special to me. There was a stream in the backyard- which had been my favorite spot since I was a little girl. We went to the house for the last time on July 15, 2019 to get a few things left behind. Cavan suggested we take our chocolate lab, Remi, down to the “crick” one last time. I was looking upstream when Cavan said, “I have something that will always help us remember this place!” And when I turned around he was on his knee with the ring. We both hugged and cried, and I finally said “yes!”

Dessa skyltar är så fina! Paret hade valt att lägga ner tid till att välja sina skylta. Vissa av dem innehåller lite humor och ordlekar som vi kommer få se längre ner i inlägget. Att hitta lite roliga skyltar eller göra egna är ett enkelt sätt att få in personlighet i bröllopet.

First look

Ally: Before the day of the wedding, the ceremony was the most anticipated part for me. But when it came down to it on the actual day of the wedding I would say the first look with my husband was the most anticipated and special part of the day. We had spent the night before apart so I hadn’t seen him. Our wedding planner, Sam from EVL Events, had Cavan standing down under the arbor. Then she came and got me on a golf cart. Once I saw Cavan and the ceremony set-up I started crying instantly. I couldn’t even walk to him because I couldn’t see through the tears. Once I got to him and he turned around we just hugged each other and cried again!

Personliga detaljer

Ally: The thing that meant the most to us, and was most personal to us was my husbands younger brother marrying us. This made our ceremony extra special and it wouldn’t have been the same without him. Something that personalized our reception was our caterer, CJ’s BBQ. They run a food truck in the town where we used to live, and have been our favorite for years. When we got engaged we both knew right away we wanted them to cater, and were happy they made the trip to our new town.

Brudparets tips till andra som planerar bröllop

Ally: Hire a planner! And also, be flexible- with planning and in life! I am a very type A person. I stress over details and crave organization. Without Sam, I know I would have been super stressed and I know this wedding wouldn’t have been the same. With COVID we had to be flexible with changing certain things. We were lucky we had planned to get married in our backyard all along. We did have to cut back on the guest count, and change up a few things for sanitary purposes- which again, would have been a lot more stressful without Sam!
