Summer Wedding Inspiration

Garland in the Grass

If you are seeking inspiration for your wedding reception, try placing two long, lush flower arrangements (Bianca roses, Vandela roses, Casablanca lilies, stephanotis and yarrow) flanking the wedding ceremony aisles. This beautiful wedding garland in the grass, serves two purposes; to prompt guests to take their seats from the outside, leaving an untouched aisle for the bride and her procession, and to direct attention to the altar.

A Taste of Tuscany Buffet

If you are one of this year's many brides wanting a vineyard feel for your wedding, this just might be your inspirational starting point. The sumptuous feast is pure Italian, yet feels just right next to an American cornfield. Fresh and organic, the fruits, leaves and branches give your wedding an earthy feel, yet totally sophisticated at the same time. The family feel of a self-serve buffet makes guests feel like they are at a Sunday dinner with family and close friends~only better! The branches of an old maple tree shade the table from sunlight. Later, as evening settles, pillar candles placed in old and new canning jars and hung from the branches, act like natural chandeliers, casting a warm glow throughout the night.

Trisha & Jonathan

I always get super excited when the most popular warm-weather wedding season approaches. This year, thankfully, it will be a very full season. At this time, I can't help but reflect on the time of my own Spring wedding, some 32 years ago. I think of the thoughts that a bride and groom might have as they prepare to experience life together and create their very own special memories. What a glorious time!

Well, even though this weekend's Spring weather is a bit unpredictable, we are still in full-swing wedding motion. With an umbrella, scarf and a heavier coat packed into the car, we are off to the lovely little community of Virginia City. With any luck, the umbrella will remain in the car...unused!

No matter the weather, there could not be a more perfect time for Trisha and Jonathan to exchange their wedding vows in the same church as did Trisha's parents many years ago. With all preparations nearly completed, it will all be a beautiful reflection of the love that this great couple has for one another.

Update: The unique, Italian-inspired wedding and reception could not have been more perfect! Trisha glowed as her father dressed in his military best escorted her down the aisle. The wind subsided, and the century-old church held it's own. Jonathan and Trisha made their way to Piper's Opera House via a vintage ride, courtesy of the Cobb Mansion. Once all the guests had safely arrived to Pipers' it gently began to snow! It provided a beautiful backdrop for a few last minute photos, and after the reception, disappeared just as everyone headed down Geiger Grade, making their way home.

Trisha and Jonathan, it was such fun assisting you with your wedding! I so enjoyed working with your Mom in implementing all your wedding day dreams! May your honeymoon last forever!
