As we look forward to the Thanksgiving holiday, we want to take a moment to say “Thank you!” to the businesses that support our local publication. Each and every issue we bring local wedding pros together to create inspiration that inspires our brides and grooms. These amazingly talented professionals bring our styled shoots to life and work in partnership to create trending content that promotes their local products and services.
Thanksgiving feasts remind us how lovely and intimate a gathering can be when surrounded by a small group of close family and friends. Our Kinfolk inspired elopement that we developed for the current issue provides inspiration into a Kinfolk wedding celebration of similar surroundings. Kinfolk practice a slow living lifestyle, formatted from The Slow Movement. A movement designed to emphasize mindful living. Bringing awareness to simplifying life and encouraging more energy toward family and friends. By allowing this to be present in a wedding celebration, we practice mindfulness of the union of marriage.
