REAL WEDDINGS - SAM & GRACE

Now if there’s a couple who knows how to always choose love in the face of distance and adversity, it’s the inspiring Sam & Grace. I’ve known Sam since we were teenagers, and had the absolute honour to watch him grow into an amazing man, who found the perfect companion in Grace. They got engaged in South America, with Grace returning to her home in America, and Sam heading back to the UK. The following months brought Visa troubles, lots of air miles and the tiny blip of a worldwide pandemic, but, during January 2021, they became Mr & Mrs in the eyes of our Lord, and I was lucky enough to provide Grace with her bouquet to roam around a forest with. A mix of fresh and dry flowers, in a warm winter palette, and featuring some stars of the season - Anemones!

Even after they tied the knot, they faced several more months, but of course, they handled it all knowing the forever they wished for was closer than ever, and knowing they had each other.

It was an honour and a joy to have been a small part of it. Most of the weddings featured here will be all singing and dancing, flower-full extravaganzas, and don’t get me wrong, I adore them. But even though this one is smaller in scale, it’s so mighty in love and matrimony, and that’s what a wedding should be about. Not the bells and whistles, as amazing as they are, but about 2 people, coming together in adoration, joy and matrimony, whatever that might look like.
