WHY DO DETAILS MATTER? ... THE JONES VICTORIAN ESTATE 714-343-1964

Hi!

Haven't you heard? It's all in the details!

Why do the details matter?

Each of those special touches brings your personality to life, and what better place than your home and your wedding! 

If you are purchasing a car, you're deciding on the make and model, the color, the engine size, the interior, the special wheel treatment (some do!) and more before the final purchase...Right?

Wedding planning is really not that different! 

And, that's a perfect analogy for the Grooms that they will love!

Here at the Jones Victorian Estate, we offer so much more than just a location.

We offer the assistance, the care and the details in all our packages. 

Personalizing is our middle name... the Jones Personalizing Victorian Estate!

Your event should reflect your style and rather than being overwhelmed by the process, (did you get overwhelmed buying your last car?), this is the time for creativity (you can do it!), a time for fun (enjoying the planning equals a fun wedding day) and time that you can call your own, (seriously, it's your day!).

After all, it's your day and together we can make it grand!!

Without the extra rental costs.... check out some of these props!

Luggage, crates, silver trays, silver tea pots and smalls, and books!

An old dresser instead of a cake table, frames, assorted cake stands, pink depression glass.

Old wine barrels! Who says you can't get beer from a wine barrel?!

French doors, old doors, old windows, vintage china and

Chandelier lighting.

Shutters?! Right. Who knew they would be so cute for your seating cards. And, they re-purposed, we can use them as a vignette with the old bistro set...

Old gates with hearts... old pallets with hearts! Hearts? I love 'em.

Wine barrels as tables bases, old doors for table tops, old picnic baskets!!!

Silver and gold charger plates, old vintage blue trays, vintage tins, tea cups (stacked they are so impressive... table number or as a gorgeous accent), vintage napkins....

And of course, chandeliers and crystals. 

So, whatever your decorating style, let me help you find it!

Let's have some fun!

Call me or email me today!

Doors... They're Not Just for Opening! Orange County Wedding location - Estate wedding 714-744-1608

 \Hi! I found an old door with a lovely window recently and it has now found a lovely home with all my wedding props! It's a wonderful accent and a lovely detail to add. The doors may be decorated with flowers, special sayings, family photos... there are any number of decoration ideas available. They can go anywhere but I particularly love them as the entrance to the ceremony site.

These are just  a few of the fun with doors!

"I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them." Elizabeth Taylor

We have beautiful French Doors for the assigned seating! No one will loose their cards!!!

In this picture, a special family photo display was added to the middle!

Welcome! An open door is the best welcome!

Is there a place for a door at your wedding? 

Doors and windows outside? Yes, they are a marvelous greeting and a beautiful way to invite your guests forward.






What's your dream? Let's have some fun....
Love,
Michelle Gregory

Shoes! A Wedding Favorite!

Hi!

One of the favorite accessory to any gown are the shoes!

Whether they are strappy, or flats, or decorated with rosettes, or Jimmy's, or with bows on top,

the shoes you wear will help you celebrate your day.

So, for really happy feet, find two pairs of shoes that you love...

One for show,

and one for go!

Your feet will thank you!

Happy Wedding Day!

Love,

their great photos that I did not have!!!

AND, more locations!!

Thank you so much for the photos. They are beautiful.

This is from behind the Waterfalls. A new perspective and oh so beautiful!

The meadow in full summertime bloom. The wild mustard is a sight to see as well as an breathtaking backdrop.

And... fun in the palm farm. That's right! Our parking lot is lined with gorgeous palm tree forest.

Now that's a backdrop no one has!!
