2019 was an epic year for SSE - we had some amazing couples and gorgeous weddings.

These two were no exception, working with them was a joy (Melissa is a delight I tell you, a pure delight) and their day will always be a favorite. You guys know I have a soft spot for garden style weddings so even though we were indoors at The Ballantyne Hotel, we designed the ballroom to give guests the feeling of a garden in the Springtime as soon as they entered. On top of that, the personal touches were woven all through out their details - Melissa’s love of bees, Harry’s family saber that is used to cut the cake at every Flack family wedding, even their pup Martha made an appearance on the bar signage and treats for guests’ to take home to their pups.

The decor was beautiful and y’all know Sol Fusion brought the house down, but my favorite thing about their wedding gallery will always be seeing the way Melissa and Harry look at each other. All the feels.

How quickly the past year has flown by - please join me in wishing these two the happiest first anniversary! Here’s to many more!
