It is said that by allowing your own light to shine, you inspire others to shine. Inspired by the idea of light and grace this is styled story shares the heart of a bride and groom who possess grateful hearts, and want to demonstrate gratitude to their family and friends in a meaningful way. With hand-crafted wax lanterns for each guest, the couple took time during the ceremony to light each guest’s candle and personally thank each guest for taking part in their wedding day. Moved by the letters written between her late grandmother and grandfather, the bride writes a thank you letter to each guest, before the wedding, to serve as their escort cards.
