This Untraditional Bride Wore A Bright Yellow Dress And Bows For Her Savannah Wedding

Ellen Van Dusen and Ben Sigerson’s wedding was a long time coming. They first met in elementary school in Washington, D.C., and remained friends throughout high school. After going to college in different states, they found themselves bumping into each other at parties when they both moved to New York post-graduation. However, it took a chance run-in on the subway in 2018 – where they realised that they lived on thein Bedford–Stuyvesant – for them to go out for a drink.

On Saturday, Ellen and Ben held an outdoor ceremony at The Wyld, a waterside restaurant upon Savannah’s Countryside Creek overseen by Tara Skinner Events. The couple and their wedding party arrived via boat as storm clouds rumbled above them. It was a dramatic entrance: Just as they got under the covered dock, a torrential downpour began as Ellen’s brothers played “Moon River” on pedal steel and acoustic guitar.

After heartfelt remarks from Tasha that prompted the couple to both laugh and cry, the two exchanged mood rings from Claire’s. “Ben and I were both nervous, and with the crazy storm in the background it all just felt like chaos – but in a wonderful way,” says Ellen of the ceremony. They walked back down the aisle to “Love is Strange” by Mickey and Sylvia, with Ben’s niece accompanying Ellen’s brothers on the tambourine.

Their friend, ceramicist Helen Levi, created all 150 of their bespoke wedding plates. “Ben and I spent many, many Saturdays painting each plate individually with Helen, who then glazed and fired them herself,” Ellen says. At the end of the evening, each attendee took their plate home with them, along with canvas tote goody bags by Lorien Stern and Dave McPeters. “We had a lot of friends contribute their time and artistic prowess towards the wedding,” Ellen says.
