Last Chance Harvey

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!
