Oh What a Happy Day!

Well, my friends, this is a lil' picture story of that wedding I worked on last weekend. Now, it was in the country, I mean REALLY in the country and Mike and Kathy wanted something that fit them and their new log cabin. Her instructions, no I should say requests, were - simple,rustic, and us. She was just a joy to work with and I hope I helped make her special day one she will always remember. She wanted strictly autumn colors and nature's bounty so here we go...



I took our last load of mums, straw, and fodder down the country road over an hour away from my home..



...one of two pick-up truck loads of pumpkins...



...where they said "I do"...



...the entry to the tent...



...the beautiful pond right beside where the ceremony took place..



...on one table...



...then another - full of gourds, cabbage, bittersweet, mums, and baby Indian corn...



...where they lovingly stood nestled at the edge of the woods...



...their beautiful log cabin - still in the works - stone work on bottom yet to be finished - all of the work is being done by them - isn't it beautiful?...



...another table...



...and yes, another table - it's easy to decorate when Mother Nature gives us so many beautiful things to work with...

...here is another view from the hill...



...this is a pocket wreath filled with Purple Melissa mums and lil' bit of greenery placed by the entry door to their home...



...the flower girl's basket - tied with dried yarrow and nandina(Nandino?)berries, ribbon and raffia - she dropped leaves down the grassy isle...



...simple boutonnieres made from cut mums and nandina berries tied off with raffia..



...the bridal bouquet made simply from nandina greenery and berries, cut orange mums, lime green zinnias and a few zebra grass plumes...



I actually decorated the day before the wedding so I didn't get to see the lovely bride - but I'm sure she was beautiful and the day was gorgeous - 65 and sunny. So Kathy and Mike - best wishes and many blessings to you. Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!!

Have a great weekend friends - now I've got to change gears and get my shop decorated for Christmas - Oh My - where does the time go????
