The Farm and The Lodge

My sweet friends Emily & Dean got married in June, and you know… It’s always a little rough when you have to throw on a dress and heels right when your feet and back are ready for a hot bath, but ‘friend weddings’ are the best. And I was so glad we were able to contribute. It’s a great party. And everyone you like is there! Plus, her mom cried when she peeked into the tent and saw the reception all set up and sparkling. Victory. And if the bride likes it too, that’s just more icing on the wedding cake.

The vintage advertising-labled cigar boxes were a "huge hit", especially after the bride rolled out the cigar cart after dinner, outside the tent, for "Gents-Only"

In case you wanted to remember back in the day, before cell phones. I think some guests had never seen the black "telly" before tonight.

My dear friend loaned me her vintage cameras, the other props were mine. All added to the setting of vintage and eclectic look. 

Just love the sweet look of the scalloped cooke on the herbal-green napkin and of course the mason jar of field inspired flowers.

Whatever was right, went fast I think 14 gallons.

Drift wood blocks hung over vintage trunks to hold cards and gifts.

All the long tables, randomly set with style and farm-house appeal.
