A Perfect Wedding- It takes a Village!

 

 

It really takes a village to make the dreams of a young bride's wedding come true.

Walking into a chillier than normal hotel room , full of white and green flowers, the groom's mother and friends are creating beautiful floral arrangements for the next day.  The rooms smells wonderful and the flowers are amazing. 

 

 

 

 

Mercury glass vases hold arrangements of hydrangea, roses, queen anne's lace, hostas, and silver sage.  Lovely, indeed.

 

Receiving our instructions from Penny, the bride's mother, her friends create floral covered

candlesticks for the gift table.

 

And embellish the birdcage for cards.

 

 

 

The groom's mother made delicious butter mints in the bride's chosen colors- blue and silver.

We place them on an antique silver tray and embellish it with roses and their petals.  

 

The simple white tiered cake is embellished with sugar magnolias, roses and fresh sweet peas.

 

The brick walled terrace is embellished with tussie mussies of the chosen flowers.

 White lanterns  line the fountain where cocktails will be served.

 

 

 

 

 

Now entering the cocktail hour, the bridal party.( Note Molly- in the back! carrying a little bundle of joy.  She just gave birth to a sweet baby girl- the first niece of the bride!  And she fit in the bridesmaid dress!!!)

 

 

And now enters the bride and groom- from the terrace above.

 

 

 

Beautiful, lovely, sweet Kate.

Could she possibly look any happier?



 

All smiles-

 

Wearing a drop dead gorgeous beaded gown

 

With one of the most beautiful dress backs that I have ever seen.

 

And the perfect coiffure- a softly upswept style- embellished with flowers.

Notice the beautiful details of the bodice.

 

Smiling up at her new  husband- can you tell she loves him?  So much!!!

 

 

Entering the dining room for dinner, a soft romantic glow is cast over the room.

Full of white linens and white flowers, it is a romantic bride's dream.

 The food is simple and good- a mac and cheese station- yum! A real hit with the guests.

Menu signs were designed and made by the bride for each station.

 

 

Caprese  Salad- made by her sister's true love.

Grilled chicken and fruit salad

 

 

Mediterranean Salad

 

Add a little Pork Loin and Apricot Sauce and an open bar, and you have the perfect combination.

It was an occasion for all to gather and celebrate-

 girlfriends-

 

 

nieces and nephews

sisters-  

 

And finally- the proud parents- who were  so proud of their beautiful daughter

and so happy to be celebrating with family and friends- Penny and Greg.  

 



 

 

And to the newly weds- wishing you a long life of happiness and joy together.

 

 

Congratulations to Kate and Craig.
