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
