A soft and lovely wedding...

Here are the pics from the wedding I mentioned earlier.  It was so pretty!  Imaging what the professional shots will look like.  I am definitely a better florist than a photographer!
It was so soft and pretty with dusty colors, vintage touches and over the top elegance.
The ceremony was outside at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Montecito.  That's the ocean in the background, quite the view don't you think?
I used vintage columns, lovely old iron tables and silver urns filled to bursting with garden flowers.

There were lots of fun details like a birds nest tucked into the underside of the table. 
A vintage bottle with a huge Peonies on the table.
We used vintage style wooden pews with fun toss pillows on them. 
The aisle decor was great fun...
Old metal pockets filled with flowers, vintage bottles...

Silver sugar and creamer containers with flowers...

Inside,  the room was transformed...
A bit blurry I know but you get the idea...
The fireplace mantle was completely aglow.
The centerpieces were silver platters and bowls overflowing with garden flowers.

Lovely old silver statuary crowned with flowers.
Tall candelabras,
Shorter candelabras,
The chairs had the most fanciful and beautiful covers on them, I want some for my home except the cats I think would love them too... as in to death!
It really was so beautiful...  I just love weddings!!!
Blessings to all of you!

Dreaming...

I've been a bit under the weather lately,  caught a bad cold.  So I have been laying around a lot, watching lots of movies and trying to rest.  My imagination has been working though...  helped a bit by NyQuil

I have been loosing myself in a sea of dreams...
sleeping and dreaming...
 of faerie tales...
magical wanderings...
Far off lands...
magical folk...
and the wee fae...
Vanessa over at "A Fanciful Twist" is hinting at another blog tea party...

Hmmm...  in a secrete forest with lovely lanterns, 
A magical gathering...
I better hurry up and get well...  lots to do!
