Including a loving remembrance in an Autumn sunset wedding

Natalie and Kent wanted to include a remembrance of a loved one who had recently and suddenly passed away.   


They did not want to distract from the joy of their wedding but clearly the loss would be felt by many in attendance.

The maid of honor carried a special bouquet in honor of the departed loved one.   As wedding favors they gave their guests seed cards and invited them to plant the seeds in remembrance of someone they especially loved.

In a beautiful moment of synchronicity at the Crest Center in Asheville, the sun set behind Mt. Pisgah just as their wedding began.

My very best wishes to Natalie and Kent for their life together.  May they always remember to appreciate the ordinary moments with the people they hold dear.

From my heart,





Michelle
