Emily & Chris’s wedding day was the perfect blend of traditional and vintage while managing to feel completely modern and always elegant. Emily’s dress had clean lines and a romantic style that paired perfectly with Coco Chanel and beaded handbags from the 40s. A tuxedo never looked so right as it did when Chris wore it and together this old, new, borrowed and blue day was a delight to witness and photograph. I’ve written a lot about style here, but it was the kindness and joy that Emily & Chris brought to their wedding plans that really captured our attention. Wedding days always have a little chaos in them and Emily & Chris never wavered in the warmth and happiness they brought to each moment no matter how many variables swirled around them. They showed their emotions and by doing so they allowed everyone else to do the same. So won’t you join me in raising an Old Fashioned to these two sweet souls? Cheers to Emily & Chris and the start of their forever ~
