Lorell’s Favorite Things 2021
You didn’t think that I could go into 2022 without making a “Favorite Things 2021” list, did you? Unlike 2020 where my schedule was a little light on weddings, 2021 turned out to be hopping!

Lorell’s Favorite Things 2019
If Oprah can have a “Favorite Things 2019” list, so can I! I’m recapping some of my favorite things, ideas, and moments from my 2019 weddings. Brianna and Clay came from South Carolina to elope in Alaska. This beautiful picture of Brianna’s late mother was held by her sister during the ceremony. What a beautiful way to honor her late mother and include her in the ceremony. Brianna’s Tiffany Blue Hunter Boots were everything! One of the Bride’s closest friends baked this homemade wedding cheesecake for Mercedes and Jay. It was made with LOVE! Guests had cheesecake for dessert and this beauty got to go home with the newlyweds! We…
