Week-End Wedding Resources: September 11th, 2020

September - it comes with summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer! With leaves glowing amber and gold under the warm setting sun, sweet heavy scents of apple orchards and cinnamon all around, gusts of winds gently flowing the leaves away, and back-to-school vibes, September has a way of telling us that things are about to change. And with so much happening throughout the year, we are sure the change is for good. 

As things return to normalcy, we must adapt ourselves to the new normals. Our focus remains the same throughout - your wedding. And as promised, we are back with handpicked wedding resources for you to help with your wedding planning during these turbulent times. So, let’s get started! 

Yeah, romance mostly begins with butterflies and secret glances. Then it graduates to constantly being hooked to your phones, little campfires of endless conversations, looking forward to dreamy dates, and making a bucket list of all things you wish to do together! And then the romance becomes real, wise, and practical by post graduating into a wedding! However, things are not always rosy and idealistic. Love can also look like the story of Elen Turner and her husband. Their love for adventure brought them close, flowing by the river and camping on the banks, but little did they knew what their future held for them! Explore the ups and downs of Elen, right from the moment she fell in love, to her wedding, childbirth in a third country, returning to her own country with a newborn, and being the sole earner for the longest time.
