We had a lovely tent wedding last weekend…very rustic chic…burlap is beautiful!

Although there were tornado warnings…and the weather was crazy & terrible during set up – mother nature came through and it was a beautiful day.

There was a delightful old claw-foot tub full of Jones soda & water on ice to greet the guests as they arrived for the ceremony.

We used 6000 white and cream rose petals to line the aisle. There was very little adornment for the ceremony…they had a (beautiful) bridal party of 20….so there wasn’t much more decoration needed!

After the ceremony the guests migrated over under the trees for cocktails. The bride tracked down some barrels and we covered a piece of plywood with burlap…it was such a cute setting. Her bridesmaids also wrapped almost 200 mason jars with lace for their signature cocktails….just lovely!

We went with 16′ tables draped with ivory linen + a burlap runner + sandalwood napkins. Each table had an assortment of different sizes of mason jars filled with little posies in whites, creams, pale yellows and soft peach, candelabras + vintage oil lamps. The bride & groom named their tables with names of places that are significant to them…the place he proposed, the place they’re going on honeymoon, etc.

All the vintage (or vintage looking) dishes used for the candy buffet were so sweet…this little dish with the bird was my favorite!

Stringing the tent with all the little lights in the gale-force winds proved quite challenging – but on the wedding day everything was twinkly & magical.
