Real Wedding: Andriana + Justin, Minneapolis MN

Since living in Israel, I have had a serious love for cultures. I’m incredibly intrigued with countries traditions, and lifestyle. I find myself buying unique pieces from other countries just because it says its made in ________ {Israel, Thailand…fill in the blank!}. I crave travel, but at this season in my life, it’s not very feasible {three kids would be the biggest reason!}.

When I met Andriana, and listened to her talk about her Serbian wedding, I sort of melted in pure joy. Than I went home and thought about how much I love weddings + cultures, and how much I desire to intertwine these two. It just makes sense. When I was going through my name change some months back, I even considered changing my business name to an arabic one {I am half Lebanese after all!}, but decided against it for a hand full of reasons. I’m rambling on to say this: Andriana + Justin’s wedding was an indescribable joy to me. On so many levels. The friendship that was formed. The design that I had the privilege to be a part of. The vendors that are top-notch. The cultural aspect. But, more than that–the love between these two.

It was evident in so many photos. You can see it bursting out of Justin’s eyes, and Dre’s smile.                                                                                                                        Its these moments, friends. That we pause. And soak in the beauty of love. Of friendships. And of life.

These are the moments worth celebrating.

My friends, can we  re-do your wedding every weekend?! {no, but seriously?} I love you both. You make what I do, so-so joyful.

Much love, Lizie

 

The vendors{oh the amazing vendors! I also want to note that almost all the vendors are from another country, or have traveled to other countries and have a love for cultures. I’m not sure if this was intentional or not, but I love it!}
