Wedding Part 2!

More great pictures to share!!  Hope you enjoy!!!

This was a photo tree with snapshots of the couple throughout their life and also current pictures of the couple. It was appropriately called the "Blessing Tree".

Guests were asked to write a blessing, advice, or words of wisdom to the couple and hang it on  the tree. 

Other pictures of the couple were display in old frames like the one above and below.

This display had pictures of loved ones tucked in among flowers and old books etc. 

Flowers were everywhere and they were just beautiful.  Look at all the interesting containers!

The vintage escort cards were hanging on an old door.  Each card was  uniquely decorated. 

Here are some conversation areas, both inside and outside the barn.

"Love" the burlap pillows.

Look at that beautiful countryside!!!  The guest enjoyed appetizers in the shade.

The Bride and Groom each had a signature drink.  Lemonade was served for the kids, using the pink straws of course!!  Besides eating and drinking there were a lot of fun activities for all ages.

The photo booth was a hit with all ages. Here are a few possess.

 

This was a little activity table for the younger ones. 

Luminaries were released into the afternoon sky.  It was a sight to see floating over the countryside.

This was a special thank you gift for each guest as they left the wedding.



 To the Bride and Groom, we love you!  God bless you with a long and happy life together!

Blessing from ours to yours,
Bev

Vintage Wedding Unveiled!!

Hi Everyone!
Thanks for bearing with me, as I have been a little slow getting this blog up but finally I am posting wedding pictures and they are amazing!!  Every time I look at them I get goose bumps!  It really was a day blessed by the Lord and one we will remember for all of our lives. 

The reception was held on top of a hill, in a big red barn out in the country. There was a spectacular view of the countryside.  The day was very hot for the first of May but a beautiful blue sky and green pastures in every direction.

The dinner was served upstairs and as you walked up the steps you were met with the most beautiful rustic elegance that your eyes could behold.  Chandeliers, hanging light all a glitter, and candles all aglow.  White table clothes with a burlap runner down the center.  Beautiful soft peonies and roses filled the air with a wonderful fragrance.

My daughter loves vintage!!  The older the better!  Old silver trays, and a variety of old bottles were used for vases and the cutest thing of all, old photos in which the picture was removed and the table number stamped on it. Each place setting had a parchment napkin and a cookie favor.  The bags were the cutest ever!     

The Bride in her cowboy boots, with the Maid of Honor and the Matron of Honor (sisters of the bride)

This was on of our projects which was so fun to do.  The menu was country food all the way.  Don't you just love these cute little food labels!

Flowers were everywhere!  The soft colors of the flowers were such a great balance of rustic and elegance.

An old buffet was used for serving desserts!  It was called Mel's table in honor of the grooms father who passed away.  They had some of his favorite desserts on it.  What a wonderful idea!!

Blueberry Cheesecake was one of Mel's favorites.  The drawers were pulled out and held the forks and homemade mints.  I just love the old table which the wedding cake set on.  Such elegance!

Vintage all the way!!  Two old fork were used by the bride and groom, one said "I do" and the other "Me too".  The server was engraved with there wedding date.

The brides bouquet held a hanky which was my mothers and I used it in my wedding bouquet 36 years ago.  Now two of my daughters have carried it in their bouquets and hopefully my youngest daughter will follow suit too.

 

Traci, from Whimsy, staged the barn, bringing in all her old furniture and totally transforming an old barn into what you have just seen.  There is more to come and I will be sharing the rest next week!!!  Wait till you see the lower level of the barn and some of the activities which took place outside. 

Have a great weekend!
Bev

Weddings are so exciting!  I just love the planning and preparation as the events unfold leading to the big day!!  We are just a few days away from my daughter's big day!  There is a crescendo of last minute activities.   Having three daughter is such a blessing from the Lord!  We have been together all week!  Talk about a support team!!!  We have had so much fun as we have crossed off items on the "To Do List". 

Today I wanted to share with you a project that I made for the bridal showers.  These were a little Thank You gift for the Aunt's who hosted the events.

Aren't these just the sweetest little bags!!  My daughter loves vintage and you will see that theme throughout the wedding. 

Old buttons, doily, hanky and the picture was vintage clip art printed on muslin.  It was my first attempt at printing on fabric and I just love the way it turned out.  I used sepia instead of black ink.

The flowers and ribbon were purchased and glued on.  The stamp set is "Kindness Matters" from Stampin
Up.

Kindness truly does matter!  Thanks to all the Aunts for such nice bridal showers.  Thanks to my three beautiful daughters for all the joy and happiness you bring to my life.  I cherish our time together.  You were wants my little little girls running, playing and having fun.and here you are today.  All grown up, beautiful, responsible and truly caring women.       
And now with tears in my eyes and a treasure in my heart, I look ahead to the wedding day.  On my lips is a prayer of overflowing thanks.  Kindness Matters!!  Thank you Lord for showering me with your kindness and love.  You have blessed me not once, not twice but with three daughters.   Joy personified!!

Kindness from my Heart to Yours!
