Beyond attending weddings, taking part in a couple's special day is even better, in my mind. I consider it an honor and love helping a bride make her fairy tale come true. [Am I the only one who thinks weddings are so much more elegant & lovely these days than when I was planning my wedding 21 years ago?] I only made it into the bridal party of one wedding, I'm no good at cake decorating or flower arranging, but I just might 'hang out my shingle' one of these days as a wedding coordinator.
Last week I dedicated my entire week to helping with a wedding reception I was asked to coordinate. Even where it wasn't part of my job description, I managed to be underfoot & stick my nose into their business. What a delight to see the pieces all come together in a simple, vintage look!
Who knew you could do so much with Queen Anne's lace and newspaper?
With green apples and burlap? With re-purposed brush/twigs?
That green and black and grey really do look lovely together -at a festive occasion?
I don't have very many pictures of the reception because there were so many details to attend to while the event was in progress, but I loved it. I declare it worth every sore muscle and every ounce of stress. (Of course, I would be remiss to not give credit to the group of young people who did an outstanding job of serving the nearly 400 guests.)
Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs.!
Wish you weren't moving so far away... I think our fellowship over grilled steaks would be the Bomb! :)
