Crossed Keys Estate Elopement, Samantha & David
Elopements seemed few and far between when Samantha & David decided to tie the knot last summer. Now is a different story (thanks to a pandemic)! Elopements are becoming more popular and I’m 100% here for it! Samantha and David’s Crossed Keys Estate elopement in Andover, NJ was a sweet, simple celebration that we feel so lucky to have been part of! Full disclosure, Samantha is a fellow wedding pro and a good friend of mine. So it was an extra special moment for me. I love these two so much.
The theme of their day was ‘ all we need is love’ and that is absolutely what they got!!
Samantha wore a beautiful BHLDN gown and Lavender, her signature color, Manolo Blahnik pumps. She also had a pair of Stan Smith Adidas sneakers with opalescent accents. She is a makeup artist by trade, so she did her own hair and makeup. Crossed Keys Estate has a floral design branch of their business, so in addition to the venue, they provided Samantha with a beautiful lavender bouquet and David with a coordinating boutonniere.
Their good friend Kristin officiated and their best friends served as their Maid of Honor and Best Man. The ceremony was hosted outside in the rose garden.
After exchanging vows, they celebrated immediately after with cake cutting and a prerecorded ballad by their friend Nick who could not make it. And we all saluted with a champagne toast to close out the afternoon.
The family had a private celebration nearby and their full wedding was held on October 26, 2019 (with a Halloween theme)!
Now, they get to celebrate twice a year, on June 21st and October 26th!
