Lending us her talents from a highly successful career as a graphic and motion designer, Lexi's eldest stepsister Georgia has lovingly designed and created all the wedding stationery from Save the Date to Order of Events from scratch.
In short breaks from her long days on set with Netflix's "Bridgerton", George Clooney's "Boys on the Boat", and Universal's new adaptation of "Wicked", Harriet (Lexi's middle stepsister) applied her costume and seamstress skills to the design and embroidery of Lexi's flower veil.
Playing music during some of our most special moments will be Lewis, a very good friend of Alex & Lexi's, and one of our groomsmen. Lewis is a highly skilled classical and jazz guitar player, who has created arrangements of some of these songs specially for today himself.
Alex (Groom) and Liam made use of their tech skills that none of the rest of us understand to somehow craft an RSVP website out of thin air. Sorcery!
