What would you do when your dream wedding was threatened to be canceled less than 10 days before? That’s exactly what nearly happened to Christina + Shane for their March celebration.

When news started emerging regarding COVID-19 and its effects, Christina and I started having the tough conversations on what it meant for her wedding at The Kelley Farm. From daily chats and calls with Christina, her venue, and vendors the decision was made to still have their wedding no matter what restrictions were in place. Then it was announced weddings could still be held, but with several restrictions including a guest count no larger than 50 guests (including vendors). So the next step was notifying guests who were invited to the smaller celebration, which was no easy task going from 171 to 41 guests. I just have to say all of their guests and vendors were such rockstars handling everything which made moving forward that much easier.

Due to a family member who couldn’t attend and who was also scheduled to make the wedding cake, the bride’s aunt was able to secure a baker at the last minute. She found Melissa with ME Designs, a local baker who created an incredible and very delicious cake.

The wedding day was filled with so much emotion along with a major sense of relief that this day was actually happening. From the vendors who really stepped up their game to ensure a flawless execution to the couple’s families who really helped make the day a total success.

We loved that the Mother of the bride, friends, and other family members who created a beautiful dessert platter of Russian desserts to the incredible arbor made by the Father of the Bride to the groom who designed the perfect sweetheart table. Shane even had a surprise in store for is new wife when he showed her that he branded their table which now sits in their dining room with a personal brand of their initials and wedding date.

One of the best parts of the day was being able to have the ceremony outside. Originally, we thought there would be no way we could have anything other than an indoor wedding, but as we got closer to the wedding the weather started to look promising and we made the final decision at the rehearsal to indeed move outside which proved to be a beautiful addition to the day.

I am so happy that Christina + Shane had the wedding of their dreams. No matter the smaller guest count (the entire day was also live-streamed), the day was truly beautiful and what Christina and Shane said they could have ever hoped for.
