just for you

it's amazing to me how weddings are so different. i mean the elements are the same, right? church, flowers, dress, cake etc. (not in that order of course...) and yet each turns out unique. what's crazier still is how two weddings at the same venue can be so utterly different as well. we recently had two brides both getting married at the avon old farms school. one wedding was simple, no fuss and the other had every detail thought out and beautifully executed. and get this, as if to support this "different" line of talk, the weather was the complete opposite for both events. the first wedding was overcast, grey and windy and the latter was all blue skies, happy and sun shiney and because of it the grounds and the dining hall looked like completely different places. we refer to the dining hall at aofs as hogwarts. it has rich dark wood and heavy iron candelabras hanging from the ceiling and you can just picture dumbledore presiding over a hogwarts school dinner with harry, hermione and ron...ok, i'm a harry potter geek and i digress.

tori is a bride after my own heart. she scoured etsy to find all of the adorable details of her sunny "green" wedding (like the jeweled napkin ring holders--LOVED!). her choice of a lime-ish green color woke up the heavy quality of the hall, leaving the formality, but adding a bit of a wink if you catch my meaning. she and lindsay at sixpence for your shoe created a "it-should-be-in-a-magazine" wedding. the girls at sixpence are super talented and when we do events with them we are confident they are going to be super chic, well thought-out, elegant affairs. tori and jack's wedding was no different

the table centerpieces were a mix of high and low arrangements using green and white hydrangea, white peonies and white roses for the low and lush arrangements and larkspur, snapdragons, hydrangea and spirea all in white for the tall (and elegant!) arrangements.
