Love in Full Bloom: The Wedding of Elle Leonsis & Toby Helme - Washington Life Magazine
Tuesday, April 16, 2019Victoria Clausen, orchestrate and assemble the display suspended above the dance floor.And then, the dress. The day’s floral theme was inspired by the blue flowers on the bride’s custom Ramona Keveza ball gown. “The bold and beautiful pattern really made me feel like it was a work of art,” Leonsis says. “When I found a gown that was so striking and never worn before by a bride, I fell in love pretty quickly.”Toby’s groomsmen were dressed by Charles Tyrwhitt, the same company that has suited up the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals; his ushers embodied the proud tradition of Highland dress, wearing trews (or kilts) and doublets with sporrans.Continuing with the familial nods, Helme’s father, Sir Tom Helme, gifted linens from his luxury British fabric company, Fermoie, which supplied table cloths, napkins, curtains, pillows and upholstered walls. “The dining tent felt like a forest thanks to his Savernake print,” Leonsis says. And to pay homage to Toby’s mother, the Honorable Mirabel Jane Guinness, and to her side of the family, the couple had a Guinness and salted caramel cake created by Fleur and Flour.The Guinness delights didn’t stop there. BD3 Design expertly replicated an Irish pub, “kitted out” with Guinness on tap along with a 20-foot-long oyster bar. Memorabilia from Donegal, Ireland, where the Guinness family has a beloved home, was also included in the theme.The bride’s father played a memorable role, serenading the couple alongside his college roommate with a surprise rendition of “Banana Boat Song.” The true pièce de résistance – the Stanley Cup – was displayed during cocktail hour and the bride watched the man of her dreams pop a magnum bottle of champagne right into it while friends and family looked on.After hours of sipping champagne and drinking Guinness, there also needs to be … chili dogs. In true Washington fashion, the late night snack was provided by the legendary Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street NW. “It was unreal,” Leonsis says, “seeing the older Brits try and love chili dogs for the first time. Such a great memory.” And that, perhaps, is a different sonnet for another day.NOTABLE GUESTS:José and Patricia Andrés, Rorbert Altman and Lynda Carter, Mark and Sally Ein, Don Graham and Amanda Bennett, Arthur and Hannah Weiland Guinness, Mark and Judy Lerner, John and Gina Carlson, The Right Honourable James Stourton, and Chris and Lorraine Wallace.DETAILSBride’s First Dress: Romona Keveza Second Dress: Elie Saab Wedding Planner: Arney Walker Caterer: Susan Gage Cake: Fleur and Flour Flowers: Victoria Clausen Music Coordinator: Elan Artists Linens: Fermoie DJ: Chris Styles Photographer: Aaron DelesieShare this:Related ... http://washingtonlife.com/2019/04/05/love-in-full-bloom-the-wedding-of-elle-leonsis-toby-helme/

Eventually Hessong came home, and Sheets continued to run her machine, even showing Dale the necessary steps in the process.“She cared about people,” daughter Lori Arment said. “She cared about people’s feelings and their well being.”“That’s one of the highlights of her life to be able to help in that way at that time,” daughter Cathy Hiatt said.Helping others, faith and family were the pillars of Sheets’ life. Her compassion was matched by her late husband Ken’s, who became her primary caretaker as she dealt with dementia until he died in December.In early April, Dawn Sheets developed a cough and began running a temperature. She had a COVID-19 test on April 10. On April 13 the test came back positive for COVID-19.

'It's up in the air': Louisville-area florists hustle ahead of a pandemic Valentine's Day - Courier Journal
Wednesday, March 31, 2021LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Valentine's Day hustle at Susan's Florist gets started well before the calendar turns to February.Myriad roses need to be ordered for the storefront at 2731 Preston Highway. Grids have to be taped on top of colorful vases to hold up flowers during transportation. And, of course, flowers must be arranged in said vases for the special occasion.And though this year's Valentine Day is anomalous for multiple reasons — it's on a Sunday, a non-workday for many, and in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic — the 73-year-old flower shop is ready to do what it has done for nearly a year now: stay nimble and make special deliveries for its many customers.But like other holidays, COVID-19 continues to throw a wrench in everyone's plans."We really don't know what to expect," said Jessie Smith, lead designer for Susan's Florist. "We're just kind of rolling with the punches."As with businesses nationwide, the deadly coronavirus pandemic has impacted Louisville-area florists.
