Last weekend we were part of a team that gave one lucky couple a complete elopement package! This last year has been tough for so many people and to be honest, we've been dying to make something pretty and do some real work again. When Meghan from Van Aisle Wedding Collective asked us if we wanted to be part of an elopement giveaway, we put both our hands up and said "Heck yes we do!!!"
It felt so wonderful to be part of a talented team of vendors, and to help do something nice for someone and make this crazy time a little brighter.
The winner was announced 2 weeks before the wedding day. I shared the announcement post on my Instagram and tagged the winner and got the cutest message back from her "Is this for real"? haha you bet it is! From there we got to work planning all the details and any of the little extra bits that we were going to add onto her package. Chelsea (our bride), was lovely to work with, always happy and super excited about what was to come next.
The day was just as fun. It was so freaking great to be back with our vendor friends, helping to make things pretty, and run smoothly. It really doesn't feel like work when you love it this much. You get to be there on someone's best day, and we like to think that what we do, helps make their day just that much more special for them. All the vendors involved are amazing at their craft, and we felt honored to be a part of it all. xo
