Silver Candelobras...Wow!!

Hi!
The elegance of silver candelabras! Wow. Ashley and Ron took one look at our candelabras and it was love at first site! 
To make it even better, we mixed the silver candelabras with low silver pedestal dished that matched the tall candelabra bases. 
The result?
Aaaamazing!
Thank you Flower Allie for the beautiful flowers!



The satin eggplant overlays were a perfect match and an elegant touch to the tables!
What is your theme?
What is your Color?

Need help?

I'm here for you!!

Engagement Shoot with Jade and Warren!

Hi!

Wow! Jade and Warren had a beautiful day for their engagement shoot. 

We had them climbing the hills of the Estate, sitting next to Cactus, crouching, leaning, bending and they did it all with a playful attitude and cheerful smiles! We had a ball!!!
Here's a sneak preview from Michael Jonathan Photography. 


I'll post more as I receive them!
Thank you Michael Jonathan Photography! I love how you capture the light!!

Thank you too to Jade and Warren! 

Where are you getting married? Here at the Estate, the engagement shoot is part of the fun!

Chairs For The Bride and Groom's Special Seating.

Hi!
I think there should be extra thought in what type of chairs you, the Bride and Groom, will sit on! Here at the Jones Victorian Estate, there is always special seating and decoration for my Bride and Grooms. 
Whether your Wedding includes resin or plastic chairs, Chiavari Chairs, White Woods or anything else, add a special touch for the two of you and make your seating special! 


We have these gorgeous velvet chairs; Gold, Blue and Red.

 Here's the red velvet chair I was sitting on. It's perfect for the men in our lives and so regal!!

 This is beautiful Denise sitting on our lovely Victorian coach!  Photograph by MemoriesbyMichael.com! I love the soft lighting coming in through the lace curtains behind her.

We added extra fun to these chairs by accenting them with mocha silk organza tied together with soft ivory ribbon! The "Mr" and "Mrs" floral filled tins finished these precious chairs. 

We added ivory floral satin chair covers (also below) with
bows on the sides for Katie and Chris' Wedding Reception.  Thank you Jeray and Kim Photography! 

These chair covers matched their linens for an over-the-top look!

Here's something different and original!! We used our vintage aprons for a delicate accessory to the white wooden chairs.  
It was a perfect accent for the Bride that loves to cook and a Groom, who loves to eat!

I hope you will consider what you are sitting on at your wedding reception. It's easy and fun.  Take the time to check with your parents or grandparents for any special chairs that they might have on hand.
 If not, we have a variety to choose from. 
Enjoy your planning!
Love,
Michelle Gregory

Picnic Baskets are definitely VINTAGE and fun!

HI!

When I look at my collection of picnic baskets, they just make me feel so GOOD.  I picture a green meadow with a soft breeze, a colorful, comfy quilt to sit on and the basket filled with goodies! I imagine this wonderful quiet and peaceful place to spend enjoying a special meal.  It's these times that we so desperately need in our busy everyday life. 
You can have this same wonderful feeling incorporated into your wedding by simply displaying them or including these special baskets (or ones like it!) in your overall design.

  How about at the guest book table? They can be stacked and a cute sign (I used a chalk board!) could be displayed on top. Flowers and photographs could be added to the open baskets to create a lovely vignette of wonderful family treasures. If you don't have any, don't worry! An engagement or funny photograph   will also do the trick. 


 These playful picnic baskets may be used for the safety of the card gifts or  hold special accessories at the bar, such as colorful straws, napkins and licorice! 
How about a basket as your cake stand! I used vintage canisters in exchange for a cake!! hehe

The ideas are limitless! Have fun with any vintage item and use them in new and different ways!
Love,
Michelle Gregory

Pets are family too!

Hi!
Are you thinking about adding your pet to your Wedding celebration?
Here at the Jones Victorian Estate, we think pets are part of the family too. 
If you would like to add your childhood pet or your new addition to the festivities, look no further!!!

In April, Kathleen and David will have their  two dogs in their wedding. The ring bearer Ethan and the flower girl Paige will  be escorting  their companions; Wallie and Candy, respectfully. 


Here is Cricket! My new addition to my family. She picked me at the German Sheppard rescue and she's been by my side ever since. 

And why not? 
We can work out all the details if your special fury friend is your best friend. 
Love,
Michelle Gregory
Stylist, Wedding Coordinator and Cricket's best friend

Hallowedding! Booooo

Hi!
This week we are in preparation for Kristen and David's Hallowedding! That's right. They have embraced their day, October 29th, and are having so much fun!! Check out our inspirations!!!
 We are bringing in lots of pumpkins and add a bit of the "boo" factor!
 There will be dining and dancing all under the light of the Moon!!
 We found all sorts of vases, in different colors, textures and heights! We are even adding black candelabras.

 The fence will hold all the guest's seating tags! Mom is the artist and I can hardly wait!!!
Kristen wanted something different for her Bridesmaids! A floral filled lantern was just the items
What's your ideas? How can we make it fun for you? Let's talk!!!

Yellow was Stacy and Joe's accent color...

Hi!
It's a beautiful day at the Jones Victorian Estate! Kim and Jeray sent over a few more pictures from the photo shoot with Stacy and Joe! It was just us, no guests, no children and no staff! They had an opportunity to just enjoy the environment and each other!



Stacy's bouquet was a delightful mix of ivories and yellows with a few jewels thrown in for good measure!



"There's no place like the Jones, there's no place like the Jones" they murmured, as
they were surrounded by the breathtakingly gorgeous, wild mustard plants. 


What's your color? What do you want? Let me help you find it!
Love,
Michelle Gregory
