Vintage Quilts to warm your heart and body at the Jones Victorian Estate (714) 343-1964

Hi!

We all want the Wedding days to be just perfect! From the decorations, to the food, to the cake, to the music and most importantly, the weather ... it's what I pray for! 

Sometimes the weather can be chilly but there's no need to worry!! 

It's the perfect time to add a little fun! 

Here at the Estate, along with the space heaters, we bring out our vintage quilts and lap quilts. They warm your body while warming your heart! 

 Tied in a bow, they are a wonderful treat for anyone, young or old!

 Vintage quilts have so many different uses that can add a lovely, warm charm to your decoration!

 The Quilts can add a beautiful, stylish accent to your ceremony!
 Hang them and they become a colorful backdrop  for your seating cards  and/or photography too!!

The Flower Girls and Ring Bearers can sit on them during your wedding! Add little bags of goodies on your quilt for a special treat and it will help entertain them!!

The Quilts add color and texture to your guest tables or to your  special head table!

 Katie added her quilt to the cake and cupcake dessert table for a colorful W O W effect!

That's not all Katie used her quilts for... she made a sign that greeted the guests upon their arrival, a sign for the ceremony site, signs that indicated  Ladies and Gentleman's rooms and the party sign!

As you can see, the quilts are so versatile and perfect for a lovely detail!    In fact, I'm going to use one right now as I finish this post!! It's cold outside!!

Happy Wedding planning and Happy Holidays!

Love,

Michelle Gregory

Special Homemade Treats Just for You!

Hi

Has anyone offered to make something homemade for your Wedding?

 Do you know anyone who can?

It can be Cookies, Candied Citrus Peels, Pretzels or in Susan's case, Cheese Cake Bites!

Susan's friend was very generous and it was decided that the Cheese Cake Bites would be a lovely treat during the Hors D'oeuvre hour!

We started with a cute cabinet Susan found at Marshall's and our vintage step ladder. We added vintage cake stands, vintage plates,  lace and flowers....

And during the ceremony, the Cheese Cake Bites were set out and ready for the guests!
The drawers were slightly open and filled with flowers on one side and napkins and more Bites on the other.

The step ladder included a delicious selection of Cheese Cake Bites!

 Ah, the homemade goodness that just makes you smile even before you taste them!

Plan something special for your guests... something homemade and from the heart!

Enjoy!

Mandy and David's shot glass favor and seating!!

Hi!

I just received a couple of photos from Brandi of Brandibarrphotography.com and I'm so excited to share them with you!!

Here is their spectacular and colorful guestbook/gift table with the shot glasses!!! Since the Bride and Groom met at a local fun bar, they thought it would be a hoot if they used the shot glasses as gift favors. What made them a pop was the different colored organza bags that were filled with jelly beans!!! 

We added all sorts of family photos, green bottles with flowers and our green picnic basket for the gift cards and waalaa! You couldn't help but smile at all the fun it created!!!

For their seating, the cards that were tucked into the glasses were set up alphabetically! Not only was it an amazing display of color, they were yummy and  beautifully practical!!

 Here's Mandy! I love all the color!! Do you notice the vintage broach on the stems? Don't forget those personal touches!!!

 And here they are.... the M E N!!! It's fun to be so cool! Thanks guys!!!!

 The ladies used the drive as the backdrop for their photo! Who can't use another Black Dress? Those flowers really pop!!

 The wedding amongst a trellis of greens and flowers...just what the Bride ordered! Congratulations Mandy and David!

 This is my favorite time of day. It's when the Bride and Groom sneak away for just a couple of private
moments.  It really helps to slow the day down so they can enjoy it all the more!!!

Thank you Brandi!
Come see for yourself and experience the joy!!!
Love,
Michelle

Streamers Anyone?

Hi!

Have you ever considered streamers as one of the many accent decorations for your wedding? 

Denise did! It was bold and fun, colorful and festive while creating an breathtaking backdrop for her wedding cake!

Whether its streamers or balloons or paper flowers or luggage tags or anything else you find pleasing, if you like it then utilized it! There's power in the imagination and why not? 

It will sure be fun and completely unexpected!!

Be Bold. Be You! Go For It!

Love,

Michelle Gregory

p.s. A HUGE thank you to Michael of Memoriesbymichael.com for the photographs!!

Erica's getting married in the Garden!

Hi!

We've opened up a new area for the weddings and it's soooo pretty!

On Saturday, Erica and Charles will be the first to be married under the canopy of huge eucalyptus trees surrounded by flowers.

The grassy area is just another gorgeous aspect of the Jones Victorian Estate.

What happened to the swing? After the wedding, the swing goes back up. I don't want them missing out on any of those great swing pictures!!

The grassy knoll pictured here was our trial run. Thank you Joel of EMP Studios for the photos! I'll be posting their pictures next!!!

Love,

Michelle
