Wedding Inspiration

Kat And Jeremy Are Two Of My Many Sweet Couples Affected By The 2020 Pandemic. I Met Them Both In Early January When We Did Their Engagement Session In Joshua Tree National Park! Since Then, They Have Felt More Like Friends To Me Than Clients. Kat And Jeremy's Original Wedding Was Scheduled For This Past Summer, But When They Had To Reschedule Due To Covid-19, They Took It Gracefully And Did What So Many Others Had To Do. They Got A New Date For 2021 And Planned An Elopement At Point Dume, Malibu In The Meantime So They Could Just Do The Damn Thing And Tie The Knot. Here's The Twist. Twenty-four Hours Before Their Scheduled Elopement, Their 2021 Venue Called Them With The News That They Went Bankrupt And Would Be Forced To Cancel Kat And Jeremy's Wedding. They Were Heartbroken, And On The Eve Of What Is Supposed To Be One Of The Happiest Days Ever. Yes, They Were Planning Elope But They Had Dreamt Of A Huge, Magical Party With Their Closest Friends And Family. Instead Of Letting The News Defeat Them, They Rounded Up Their Resources And In Less Than 24 Hours, Transformed Their Tiny Elopement Into The Elopement Of Their Dreams. They Reached Out To Kat's Initial Mua And Hair Artist, Who Both Happened To Be Available For The Day! They Found The Most Talented Florist To Put Together The Most Gorgeous Dehydrated Bouquet And Turned Something Catastrophic Into Something Beautiful. Kat Looked Absolutely Stunning Floating Around In Her Marchesa Notte Bridal Gown In Bailey. kat Really Wanted To Incorporate A Pastel Color Palette With The Vibrance Of Golden Hour. W Started The Elopement At Around 5 And Ended At Around 7pm As The Sun Was Setting. Iris And Barry Blooms Did Such A Beautiful Job Creating Kat’s Dehydrated Bouquet And Floral Garlands, She Absolutely Nailed It. Kat And Jeremy Also Wanted To Honor Kat’s Indian Roots By Traditionally Exchanging The Floral Garlands During The Ceremony. Point Due Ended Up Being The Perfect Spot For Kat And Jeremy To Exchange Their Vows. We Began On The South-facing Side Of The Cliff, Where The Sun Parted The Coastline In Vibrant Colors Of Green And Turquoise. After The Ceremony, We Walked Over To The North-facing Side Where I Got To Snap Shots Of The Two Of Them Dancing Around And Basking In The Golden Hour Sunlight.kat And Jeremy Had To Deal With A Lot Of Surprises And Handled The Ups And Downs Of Their Wedding Plans With Such Grace And Optimism. I Know This Season Has Been Heavy On So Many, But It Is Such A Light In The Darkness When Love Is Able To Prevail And Two Well-deserving People Get To Go Through With Promising Their Forevers To Each Other, Despite The Circumstances. I Feel So Lucky To Know Them And To Have Been A Part Of Their Adventure.

Elopements Have Been Around A Long Time But It Is Only Recently That We Have Started To Hear Terms Like “micro-mony”, “micro-wedding” Or “tiny Wedding”.  Even The Term “intimate Wedding” Seems New Despite The Fact Your Wedding Is Probably The Most Intimate Experience You Will Ever Have!  so What Do We Mean When We Say “elopement”?  By Definition, Elope/elopement Has A Somewhat Negative Connotation.  At Its Heart, Elope Means To “run Away” And When We Used It To Talk About Weddings, It Typically Meant “to Run Away To Get Married Secretly, Often Without A Parent’s Consent”.  It Can Be Viewed As Terribly Romantic As When Two Star-crossed Lovers Defy Their Controlling Parents To Run Off To Another State, Find A Judge Or A Preacher And Tie The Knot.  Picture A Ladder Up To A Second-story Window And Two Young Kids Speeding Towards The State Line With Nothing But Love To Sustain Them.  Or It Can Seem Fairly Misguided As “running Away” Is Usually Not A Good First Step Towards Most Good Things.  Elopements Are Also Often Thought Of As “spur Of The Moment” And, While There Are Exceptions, Happy Endings Rarely Begin At 2 Am In Elvis Chapels, Especially When Alcohol Is Involved.  ????covid Has Changed The Landscape Of Weddings In Ways We Think Will Probably Last Long Past Any Legal Mandates.  Having Been Forced To Down-size Their Weddings, Many Are Discovering That It Really Is A Great Way To Save Money And Stress.  Coronavirus Has In Many Cases, Freed Us From The Imperative Of Having A Bigger, “better” Celebration And Allowed Us To Look At Weddings Through New Lenses.  And We Like What We See!  For Many, Weddings Have Evolved Away From “the Party” To Focus More On The “marriage” And The True Transformation That Takes Place That Day.tiny Or Micro-weddings No Longer Represent A “running Away From” But A Conscious Decision Toward A New Paradigm.  Covid Pushed Us Toward Them But More And More We Are Embracing These Small, Low-key Celebrations.  And Finding The Extra Money Leftover Is A Great Benefit!micro Or Tiny Weddings Are Not Necessarily Last Minute Or Hurriedly Put Together.  They Can Take As Much Planning And Contain As Many Details As You Want.  But, Bottom Line, They Don’t Have To!  All The Stressful Accoutrements Of Big, Traditional Weddings, Like Table Favors Or Bridesmaid Dresses, Are Neither Expected Nor Missed.  You Can Focus On Those Details That Actually Mean Something And Are Important To You…writing Your Vows Or Incorporating Other Traditions Into Your Ceremony.  And, If You Choose, Your “reception” Can Be Far More Extravagant With So Many Fewer Mouths To Feed…opt For Dom Perignon And The Lobster Nibbles.  But That Might Not Be Your Thing And That’s What Is So Freeing About Having A Tiny Wedding…surrounded Only By People Who Truly Love And Support You, There Is No Reason To Try To Meet Anyone’s Expectations Except Your Own. At Stonegate Manor, Until Recently, We Hadn’t Offered “elopements” Or Any Type Of Micro/mini/petite Wedding Options.  It Just Hadn’t Occurred To Us!  We, Like Other Wedding Venues & Vendors, Had To Pivot And Adapt And We Found We Liked It.   Initially These Were Intended For Couples Whose Plans Had Been Disrupted And Who Were Eager To Quickly Find An Alternative.  Often Couples Brought Their Own Previously Contracted Vendors But Mini-sized Everything.    as Time Goes On, We Are Getting More And More Calls From Couples Who Aren’t Desperately Trying To Save Their Weddings At The Last Minute But Who Want These Small Celebrations.  I Cannot Tell You The Times I’ve Heard Something To The Effect Of “we Were Planning On Having A Big Wedding Next Year But Covid Made Us Re-think Our Priorities And We Like The Idea Of A Small, Intimate Wedding”.  Who Would Have Thought A Virus Would Have The Ability To Transform Our Vision Of Weddings?!michigan Law Now States That Only 10 People Can Gather Inside So Our Micro-monies Are Limited To 8 Guests.  We Take Care Of All The Necessities…the Officiant, The Flowers, The Cake, A Beautiful Place To Both Get Ready & To Celebrate Afterward And A Magical Fairy Garden In Which To Hold The Ceremony.  We Are Finding That To Be A Pretty Perfect Size.for Those Who Desire A Bigger Guest List And/or A Bit More Involved Reception, Our Petite Weddings (
