{ terrific tent }

Here is a lovely tent wedding we did a while ago…very rustic chic…burlap is beautiful!:

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!:

If you own vacant land, you can attract companies that develop event venues by highlighting its location, accessibility, size, zoning regulations, and potential for hosting weddings, concerts, conferences, and other gatherings. To find interested buyers, list your property on online real estate platforms, contact event venue developers directly, and work with a real estate agent who specializes in land sales and commercial development. Sellers weighing cash sales often review wooded land buyers online.

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:

We did a lovely small wedding this weekend that was just filled with lovely candlelight…candelabras everywhere…the palette was champagne & eggplant with a few cranberry accents…perfect for the beautiful autumn day…and perfect as a backdrop for all the candles.
Here’s a sneak peak:

you MUST have cherry shoes!

My mother-in-law had been shoe shopping and saw a pair of shoes that were totally me – and so we went shoes shopping on the weekend so I could try on these fabulous cherry shoes:

Unfortunately they no longer had my size…but I must say – they are indeed “me” – and much more fun than any shoes I’ve purchased recently.
In the end I managed to find a fun silver pair off the sale rack (yay!) which are also made by Poetic License:

I wore them to the office today…excellent way to start the week…in a fun & fabulous new pair of shoes…even more so when they were on sale.
Aren’t they cute?!?
The shoe box is so cute also I almost took a photo of it to post (I refrained).
