With only two months left in the year, we have a lot of reflecting to do. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wedding Collective<\/a> ladies have learned a lot about our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">community <\/a>through the duration of our 2020 journey, from hardships to exciting new ways of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">celebrating love<\/a>. We have found that no matter what, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">weddings + celebrations of love<\/a> must go on &#8212; and they will do so in the most stunning ways possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking back to last year at this time, we couldn&#8217;t have imagined what the new year would hold. However, we know that change is both good and humbling, so we will never let anything get in the way of moving forward toward a brighter tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we just love October <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">weddings <\/a>and thought it might be a little fun to reminisce, showcasing Amanda + Tim&#8217;s fabulous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fall wedding<\/a> from 2019 seemed fitting. The details and meaningful touches are what make this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wedding <\/a>a dream. Many out of state couples come to New Mexico for the culture and scenery, but many local couples choose to have their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">weddings <\/a>here for the exact same reason. Like our beloved Dorothy says, &#8220;there&#8217;s no place like home&#8221;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Our <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">wedding day<\/a> was an absolute dream. The amazing staff at the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/listing\/event-center-sandia-golf-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Event Center<\/a> played a big part in making that happen. When my husband &amp; I were deciding where to have our special day, my hometown was an easy choice. We were able to showcase the International Balloon Fiesta, show off our gorgeous Sandia Mountains, and introduce delicious green chile to our out of town guests. That day was absolutely perfect from the delicious food, tremendous service from the staff down to the very last song of the evening. I will remember that day for the rest of my life!&#8221;<\/p><cite>&#8211; Amanda, Bride<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/listing\/event-center-sandia-golf-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">venue <\/a>played a huge role in what made this day special for Amanda + Tim, because they wanted a place that would show off all that our state has to offer. Enter one of our long-time faves,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/listing\/event-center-sandia-golf-club\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> The Event Center at Sandia Golf Club<\/a>! The cozy, welcoming, and elegant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/wedding-vendors\/wedding-reception-venues-locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ballroom <\/a>and the picturesque views of the Sandia Mountains outside made for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingcollectivenm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perfect wedding<\/a> for a perfect
