subtleties

this wedding was nerve racking. and sometimes the more rattled those nerves get the better. new challenges. new obstacles. pushing the limits.

we constructed succulent adorned grapewood arrangements in golden urns. we suspended large greenery + gold-ery covered chandeliers from rafters above already dressed tables. maneuvering an enormous a-frame ladder around and under and back again. we fought windstorms that whipped and bounced our blooms hither and yon. we listened to covers of 'proud mary' followed by 'hey baby que paso'. and it was all i could do not to hit the dance floor in reckless abandon. truth be told i did a little shuffling between bouquet ditzing. i think the band appreciated it.

it was beautiful + incredibly rewarding.

c'mon girls - keep on pushing!
