It Finally Happened!

Congratulations to Isabelle & Michael who finally, after having to postpone and reschedule and delay for 2 years because of covid, were married at Keswick Vineyards on Saturday, May 21st. Isabelle and Michael had family and friends from all over the world attending and I really liked how Isabelle showcased her Bermuda roots with a signature drink that was so refreshing on this unseasonably hot day. As guest made their way to the cocktail lawn area, displayed on a gold and glass bookshelf was pre-poured signature drinks for guests to help themselves to. I really like this idea of having pre-poured drinks available as guests head to cocktail hour. By doing this, it helps eliminate that rush to the bar which usually results with some sort of line. This way, guests can grab a drink and those wanting something else can head to the bar. I highly recommend doing this with your signature drink or glasses of wine.

I thought I would touch a little bit in this blog about how to go about your ceremony processional when you have a father and stepfather. Who escorts the bride? I’ve seen it done in multiple ways so I thought I would just share in this blog how Isabelle did it.

With both her father and stepfather being very important men in her life, Isabelle chose to have her stepfather walk her to the ceremony location and then to have her father walk her down the aisle. This way, both fathers felt proud to be by Isabelle’s side as she entered the next passage of her life - marriage. I would also like to add that it is refreshing when ALL parents can come together to celebrate their child’s marriage and participate in all those family photos as a family unit to be shared from one generation to another.

And one more thing to add about Isabelle. Look at that jewel collar that she wore with her wedding dress for the ceremony. That definitely took her look up a notch! And I can’t forget about Michael. Who can resist a man in uniform? Thank you for your service.
