Every love story deserves a dream wedding, and Ashley had a clear vision for her and James’ special day that left no detail overlooked. From the meticulous attention to colors and details to the heartfelt speeches and sweet moments, this wedding was a true celebration of love and family. As the wedding planner, I had the privilege of working closely with Ashley, and her kind nature and commitment to creating the perfect day made the experience truly memorable.

Sometimes, the most magical moments come unexpectedly. On Ashley and James’ wedding day, rain showers presented a challenge, but it was quickly resolved with a thoughtful plan B. The Storie Hall at The Arlo became the perfect indoor ceremony location, allowing their exchange of vows to take place in an equally romantic ambiance. The reception hall transformed into a cozy abode for the cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing, fostering an intimate atmosphere for all the guests to enjoy.

Adding an adorable touch to the day, Ashley and James’ daughter was included in Ashley’s first look and she also took center stage as the flower girl. The joy and innocence radiating from her as she made her way down the aisle brought smiles to everyone’s faces. It was a heartwarming reminder of the love that brought this family together, creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

As the first daughter to tie the knot, Ashley’s wedding held special significance for her and her family. Her father delivered a touching speech, filled with love and pride, showcasing the deep bond they shared and the joy he felt in witnessing his daughter’s journey towards happiness.

A wedding is made exceptional by its distinctive details, and Ashley made sure to infuse her personality into every aspect of the day. The DJ table, adorned with a glorious facade of flowers, added a whimsical touch to the reception area. The cute drink selections served throughout the evening added a personalized flair, ensuring that guests were treated to a delightful experience.

Working closely with Ashley, I was able to tailor the design and decor of her wedding to perfectly align with her vision. Collaborating with Pink Champagne for custom day-of signage and invitations added an extra layer of personalization. Ashley’s excitement and dedication were evident during the mock-up, as she eagerly looked forward to her dream day becoming a reality.

Despite the rain, Ashley and James’ wedding day was brimming with happiness. The inevitable weather change didn’t dampen their spirits, serving as a testament to their love and resilience. They embraced the unexpected and made every moment count, creating a day filled with love, joy, and unforgettable memories.

As Ashley and James embarked on their journey together, their wedding day became a beautiful chapter in their love story. Their celebration showcased their sweet and genuine connection, leaving no doubt that their future is filled with happiness and love. As they recently celebrated their first anniversary and eagerly await the arrival of their second child, Ashley and James’ love story continues to inspire and remind us of the beauty of true love.

XOXO,
