Food Tasting the Jones Victorian Way!

Hi!

I've been so busy and it's been a blast!

Here at the Jones Victorian Estate, food tasting is celebrated!!

It's a full evening of great food,  awesome company and lively conversation.

 Below are a few colorful snippets of the evening and decoration...

Jade is actually having three different centerpieces! This was a trial for the color and texture of her main focal point. The large and small vintage canisters and tray were accented with colorful roses, peonies and wonderful tiny blooms.  

A special thank you to Flower Allie for the beautiful flowers.  

We added mini roses to the champagne glasses, both pink and white. The vintage napkins were tied with a soft pink French wire ribbon. Mini roses and fresh rosemary was tucked inside the ribbon.

The table was draped with a soft pink silk organza overlay. It was just the light touch that Jade was looking for.

 Each place setting had a different napkin treatment. In that way, the Bride could see all the varying choices and to make her decision that much easier!

Jade and Warren! Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

What's your dream?

Love,

The Gown and the Bride!

Hi!

Here at the Jones Victorian Estate, there is time for all the little details that may or may not end up in your photo album but are none the less precious.

Paperwhite Photography sent me over a lovely disc with pictures from Andrea and Jason's November wedding. I just love to review all the photos and live once more of that special day.

Today, I wanted to blog about the wedding gown! Below are my special picks of the gown and my Bride, Andrea.
Enjoy!

It's 2013 and It's Going To Be A Great Year!

Hi!

We are hosting a military wedding for Tiffany Brader and Peter Laramie on March  23rd!
It's going to be a wonderful event and all my vendors are helping too!

So, I ventured out of my comfort zone for them and painted a sign! Yes, that's right. It turned out wonderfully. Check it out... 

"Happily Ever After Starts Here!"  After I painted it in black, I then added  silver to accent  the letters. I thought dots would be cute so I added them too. (not shown in this picture)

Now that I have a bit of confidence, I think I'll try my hand at two more!

What's your dream? Let's get together!!
Love,
