Thinking Out Loud Thursday - August 27, 2020

Hello there!  Welcome to Thinking Out Loud Thursday where I share some things on my mind and then invite you to link up and share what's on yours.

One week ago today I was knee-deep in wedding preparations.  My side hustle is being a wedding coordinator and it's a job I'm very passionate about.  I try to do two weddings a year, but thanks to COVID one of my weddings this year got moved to 2021.  The other one happened last weekend.

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon, Lindsey and Jon tied the knot at Haue Valley which is located just outside of St. Louis.

This was the first time I worked a wedding at this venue, but I hope it won't be my last!  The staff was great to work with and the venue itself was absolutely gorgeous.  They have an inventory closet full of wedding items you can use at no charge, which adds up to some major savings for the couple.  We were able to use items from the inventory closet to make all the centerpieces.

The couple tried their best to be sensitive to the fact we are in the middle of a pandemic.  Their favors were bottles of hand sanitizer.

Guests were also encouraged to wear masks and a basket full of them was available in case someone needed one.

Assigned seating helped family units set together and social distance from other guests.  

Even in the middle of these trying times, Lindsey and Jon pulled off a beautiful wedding.  I'll be sharing more photos as they become available from the photographer.  Speaking of the photographer - she was fabulous!  Check her out at Jessica D. Williams Photographer on Facebook.

Now it's your turn.  What are you thinking out loud about today?  Link up and share!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
