Real Wedding: Lisa and Benjamin, III

Loving, loving, loving today’s real wedding that was sent to us by the gorgeous bride and was photographed by Little Black Book photographer, Tanja Lippert

More from the bride…

I really wanted to incorporate our mothers in the ceremony, but didn’t really like the unity candle or rose idea since it’s done all the time. My bridesmaid Shari Bare shoots a lot of weddings in Florida and she told me about the mixing sand idea. I wanted to do something unique, so I played on the sand idea with a twist. I had Benjamin’s mother bring soil from France and I had my mother bring soil from my hometown in Missouri. During the ceremony we had the mothers mix the soil in a vintage scale. It represented the blending of the families and the base for our union to take root and grow strong.
