A few weeks ago, Bella Signature Design was part of one the most amazing ceremonies! Recently Sasha Souza contacted me about Wish Upon A Wedding, and asked me to be President of the Seattle chapter. (Read Bella’s blog post about Wish Upon A Wedding here).
After creating our board of directors, we had our first board meeting on April 15th, and literally an hour after this meeting, our first wish came in. Normally, WUW operates by finding vendors who want to be involved and having them ready to go when a wish comes in, but since this was an urgent wish and we were just starting, it was a hectic week!
In less then 10 days our amazing Volunteer Coordinators found Shelly and Jay a custom wedding gown, a beautiful venue to match Shelly’s dream, flowers, music, and more. (for a list of all the vendors, look below). Shelly, who has terminal metastatic lymphoma, was so happy to finally marry her love, Jay: they met 10 years ago when she was his caretaker as he was undergoing a stem cell transplant due to MS. Now he takes care of her, and they have wanted to marry for a while, until illness and medical expenses got in the way.
On a misty Sunday, that miraculously cleared at the beginning of the ceremony, some of Seattle’s most giving wedding vendors gathered to create this once of a lifetime wedding for Shelly and Jay. WUW board members came as well, and helped serve food, create butterfly mobile’s (which was Shelly’s theme), helped with putting flowers together, and welcoming guests. The ceremony was under a flower graced pergola, with beautiful lilacs, viburnum, roses and amaranthus. Shelly and Jay shared their vows with their closes friends and family, and then headed to the decorated tent to celebrate. It was an honor to be a part of this day!
Don’t forget about our Wish Upon a Wedding Launch Party May 27th
at the fabulous Pravda Studios – a Swanky cocktail party NOT to miss!
Vendors from the most recent WUW wedding – THANK YOU!!!
Li’l Inspirations is so proud to be a part of Wish Upon A Wedding. We are happy that we could contribute our part with providing personalized handkerchiefs for the bride and groom – Wish Upon A Weddings ‘official gift’ to every bride and groom.
Dear Daniela,
Congratulations on the beautiful gift of the wedding for Shelly and Jay which your board spearheaded; and for being mentioned by Sean Low as one of the businesses who consistently present one single thought and goal for their company. I see your work for Shelly and Jay, and the quality with which you run your business over all, as a beautiful single thought. God bless you for your labor of love!
