Fun with Wine Barrels!

Hi!
Have you seen any of the remarkable uses for the come wine barrel? 
They add character to a bar, a focal point to a dessert station, a surprise to a beer display, an informative touch for a beverage menu, a stunning backdrop for the gift favor jelly jars, and a beautiful accent piece for family photographs!
Whatever your theme, a wine barrel can be wine-y :), vintage, country, rustic, or just plain-ole-fun!


We surprised the guests with a beer filled wine barrel!

This beverage menu and display was a huge hit! 

The jelly jar display was fun and inviting!

An up close photo of the jelly display. The picnic baskets were a lovely touch!

A dessert station with a "help yourself" sign.

We added bunting to the wine barrel for Marysia and Matt's wedding. The bunting added color and play fullness!

Thirsty? This beverage display is not only beautiful but inviting!


Need a special focal point? A wine barrel photo display might just be the trick!
(Thank you Pinterest!)

Are you looking for something different than just a table with linens? 
A wine barrel might just be a nice change!
And guess what?
We have them at the Estate!!!
Let's talk about what makes you smile!!!

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!!
Love,

A Special Thank You!

HI!

I met with the new Mr and Dr. Marysia and Matt Boeckman the other day and they brought me a lovely photo for my desk and a wonderful thank you note. The note means so much to me.
I'm not going to post the whole note, but I must post this...

"Michelle-
We are so blessed to have found you the beautiful Jones Victorian Estate for our wedding celebration!
We couldn't have found a more perfect place as the location, timing, ambiance, inviting staff and your professionalism were exactly what we were looking for in our reception venue. Michelle, you made wedding planning so enjoyable and sparked even more creativity out of me than I thought possible. Then the big day came and I knew I would be (and was) so stress-free and relaxed because you would take care of every detail. You really were more than we asked for! I've heard so many of our guests say that the Jones Estate was so beautiful and the reception was the best they had been to! So kudos to you for making our dream day come to life."

I am humbled and so thankful! 
Love and Smiles,
Michelle Gregory
