what's the point in having a fancy camera if you don't bring it along to take actual pictures?! true to form, i forgot ours, not once, but twice this weekend. argh. lucky for me, jerome braga was the photographer for the event and he always takes good detail shots for us. but still, i am thwarted from sharing photographs of the weddding with you now.

the wedding in question took place at the wesleyan barn in middletown and it was my first time seeing this particular venue. i just loved it. it's a great blank canvas for a wedding. it's very barn-y (well, duh) and unfinished and of course easily lends itself to a down-home sort of affair. but it could just as beautifully be a high-low venue with tall elegant flowers and impecable linens. there is a covered courtyard that i pictured with custom cushions and draped fabric, like a morroccan tent. in all cases, romantic candlelight is the name of the game. there are small lights and white laterns hung from above by the venue, and they are simple and sweet.  8 wooden posts beg to be wrapped or hung with wreaths or other embellishments or of course, left alone. lots of options. it reminds me of the wedding of one of my best friends years ago. the wedding was in california, but also in a barn. there were oriental and eastern rugs overlapping each other on the dias where the band set up . there were also beautiful ornate chandeliers that the owners had purchased. it was so elegant and yet approachable.

here's a picture of the barn i stole from the venue's website. it doesn't show jane's work, but it'll have to do until i can get OUR pictures up ;)
