Amelia shares a little info with us…..’Michelle is the kind of woman who turns women kelly green with envy. She is stunning, alarmingly kind, and oozes a cool sort of elegance. Having grown up with five brothers, the male mystique is no such thing to Michelle. It was this set of traits that no doubt caught Taylor’s eye. The two play off of each other like Nutella and crepes; a dashing compliment. With Michelle’s artistically-endowed Mother and oldest brother’s help, the wedding was nothing less than a work of art.
The whole affair made me wish that my wedding had been swathed in creamy violet and passionate fuchsia. The colors alone evoke such emotions of love. I found it hard to believe that the Love Birds had not hired a wedding planner. That is what happens when your brother creates and prints a gorgeous invitation and your Mother spins her magic in all aspects of decor. Oh yes, and your Mother’s love interest creates an enormous ceiling ornament (the word sounds so miniscule!) from tiers of antique ribbon, tulle, and crowns it with hydrangeas. Magic happens when you have this sort of artistic input! Guests had a delightful time posing as their alter egos in the photo booth and nibbling on sensational mini-cupcakes that tasted like they came from the kind of bakery you want just around the corner from your home…dangerous. Even the wedding cake had a lovely gourmet twist – a raspberry creme layer that added such unexpected richness. As if attending the party of everyone’s lives was not enough, Michelle and Taylor gave guests even more loveliness to savor: CDs! Two varieties to be exact, classical and indie love songs. Trying to even describe this wedding, feels like butchering a French accent! Words do not suffice. Thank gorgeous film that we have pictures to feel what a thousand words may not be able to touch; and thank you Michelle and Taylor for having me out!’ |
