Stacey | Russell – Married!

#nottodaycovid is the perfect hashtag for Stacey & Russell’s wedding day! They originally planned to have an August wedding in 2020 and then moved it to October of 2020. As more restrictions started being put in place in Anchorage and the limits on gathering sizes started to decrease, they were able to squeeze in their wedding of about 25 ppl before the mandates got lowered to a whopping 10 people in Anchorage! They were also able to have their wedding on the last day of Fall because the next day the snow came! Talk about getting lucky more than once!

Thinking back to this wedding day there were so many things that I loved :

Let’s start with the circular arch at the entrance of the room, made by Jodi with Wild Blossom Designs! Stacy wanted a statement piece when her guests entered the room and Jodi nailed it!
Stacy went all out on the decor which is a wedding planner’s dream! From the mahogany Chiavari chairs with the fancy teal chair sashes, to the eggplant floor-length linen, teal napkins with the gold napkin rings, gold charger plates, and gift bags for all the guests! I loved it all and I loved that she wasn’t afraid to go with bold colors!
Now let’s talk about the wedding cake…it was made by the Groom’s niece, JaMya who was 10 years old, yes, I said 10!
The music – this playlist brought me back to my college days! Each time a new song would be played, I would look over at John, the DJ and, give him a “Whaaaat??? Oh no you didn’t!!” look!
The catering company – Kinley’s was such a pleasure to work with! They were professional and on top of everything! I would highly recommend them for your wedding.
The first dance – oh they just looked so cute doing their little dance and singing to each other. Watch the video, you’ll see what I mean!
