Since I’m on a roll with finally getting to blogging weddings, it made me wonder…is blogging still a thing? What is the new thing? Tumblr? Gosh, don’t even get me started…I still can’t figure that one out. Despite being a millennial, I feel that social media/technology-wise I’m a little behind. But if you are here, reading this blog post about Emma and Keng’s wedding, welcome! This one is a good one so be sure to scroll to the end.
Where do I even begin with this couple? To know them is to love them. They are seriously so much fun, both so tender hearted, generous with others, and they are excellent cat parents while being pickle-ball champs. I couldn’t be happier that they found each other.
When Emma and I started planning and designing for her big day, we went through various color palette schemes and all were so amazing! That’s what happens when the bride is a creative herself. But ultimately, we landed on a fun poppy and cosmo filled, bright summery color palette. The Icelandic poppies were the main ingredient show stopper. The only hard part about this was that 1. poppies are fickle flowers. And you never know what color you are getting until that hairy alien skin falls off. 2. Emma and Keng got married in the middle of the pandemic which meant that many flower farms were struggling to produce to the level that they normally would so getting good healthy local poppies were hard to come by. BUT, thanks to my amazing flower grower friends and connections, I was able to get some really fun cute poppies by the bucket-full to make sure that this wedding was poppy heaven!
I wish everyone in this world can get to know Keng. It’s not often that I get to know the groom before the bride! But I met Keng back in 2013 before Wallflower Inspiration was even a thing! He is seriously one of the kindest souls out there and you can just tell by this tender photo of him crying upon seeing his beautiful bride walk down the aisle to him.
One of the highlights for me in this wedding was working with my friend and one of my favorite photographers Whit McGuire. She has taken a few family photos for me and I absolutely love her romantic, dreamland, sexy style. The energy that she brings is like non-other making everyone she captures feel so beautiful and seen. She is based in Texas but will travel! Please book us together cuz I just love working with her!
Only took me a couple years to finally share this magnificent day…but HAPPY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY KENG + EMMA! You guys are the real deal! Love you both! You two are truly gems and watching you get married was nothing short of pure joy and blessings!
