I’m such a sap. I went to see Last Chance Harvey
tonight with my husband which reaffirmed why I love weddings! I love how
weddings create an open platform for family members, friends, and the like to
celebrate a joyous occasion regardless of their histories. I love how people
look past their vulnerabilities and speak from the heart during their speeches.
I love the romance, décor, and festivities that it creates.
The movie went well beyond the obvious of focusing on the
bride and groom’s relationship. It conveyed how some families cope with their
entrenched histories and the complexities it brings to such a day.
Dustin Hoffman perfectly executes a man past his prime who
has run into a bad string of luck. A divorcee who hasn’t seen his ex-wife or
daughter in years is invited to attend her wedding in London. While I won’t spoil the movie for
you, I will say that regardless of your own family dynamics, you will certainly
enjoy the sensitive story shared by theirs.
The flowers designed for the reception scene were beautiful!
They used a lush assortment of roses in various shades of ivories and blushes.
Hanging amaranthus draped from below to add a romantic and aged flare. Here’s a
snapshot of the head table for you to enjoy!
