Beautiful Flowers in the Garden!

Hi!
As the rain subsides, beautiful flowers are emerging everywhere on the Estate. 
It's magical and charming to witness such a hardy transformation so quickly.


 The succulents emerge and boast with rich color!

The potted Pigmy Palms come alive with color that were sleeping only days ago!


Come see the Wedding magic of the Jones Victorian Estate.
Love,

Vanity Mirrors!

Hi!
Do you enjoy the romance and delicacy of anything vintage? 
How about Vanity Mirrors? 
They are very reasonably priced, from $5.00 to $30.00! They can be found a your local thrift store, flea market, antique store or antique swap meet. They are all unique and a beautiful piece to start with.
Kelly and her friend loved the look of the vanity mirrors and she decided to incorporate them in her wedding. This is how an idea starts!
What do you love?




She had a blast finding all sorts of different vanity mirrors. We then teamed them up with a vintage frame, some old and new bottles and lace doilies. I have an abundance of dried lavender so we made little bouquets for each mirror.

Here is the happy Kelly  with all the trays, frames with chalk boards and bottles for each arrangement.

From there, she had the table numbers professional "chalked," and we added flowers to the vases.

I have never liked the back of table number frames! So, I came up with an idea to add a card the size of the frame that detailed Kelly's bridal party and some fun facts about them. In that way,   no matter where a guest sits, it looks good and finished!!

The little lavender bouquet was just what Kelly wanted... a delicate addition.

The flowers were simple but elegant and each table hosted an assortment vintage bottles.

I love the combination of three vases; small, medium and tall, and a mix of color too!
Since her colors were green and light lavender, the green bottles just added to the fun of the overall design!

Here's Kelly and her girls!

This very vintage and unique centerpiece was a huge hit that everyone enjoyed.
In fact, all the ladies wanted to take the trays home!

What do you think? The mirrors are a beautiful base for any centerpiece. The delicate metal designs and the shape of the trays make them a great starter piece!
You can add your own touches and make it completely different!!

Do you need some help with designing? 
Let's have some fun!!

Ahhh, Lois!!

Hi!

I just received this photo from Ashley of APictureLife Photography of beautiful Lois (D'Addario) Henley, my bride from October 21st!
(I actually stole it from Ashley's blog!! - thank you Ashley!)
It was an absolutely enjoyable experience from the beginning to the day of her event. I still remember the formal dining room in the Victorian House piled high with the most intriguing items she had collected and or made! We sorted and giggled, we paired and giggled, we created and giggled, we came up with wonderful ideas and giggled some more!
It's what I enjoy the most... creating!



I'm sorry to say I don't have more pictures but I will! Ashley will be dropping of a full c.d. of the event and I can hardly wait!!

A huge thank you to Flower Allie for the magnificent flowers!

Here's what Lois wrote in my Christmas card:

"Dear Michelle- We are on month "2" of wedded bliss! I thought you might like a photo or 2 to remember that beautiful floral arch OMG !!!  I will try to catch up with you after the holidays...
Got the CD of photos from my niece, we are trying to pick out of 600 shots she took! Your Estate looks so awesome I want to do it all over again. the "Photo booth" shots are a gas! ...
Love and Miss you - Lois and Page"

This is what having a wedding at the Jones Victorian Estate means... you are ALWAYS family!
