Silver candelabras add warmth and elegance!


Hi!

We had our food tasting and as is our custom, I ordered a sample centerpiece from Flower Allie.
I realize that this is not a terrific picture but clearly, it shows the elegance and beauty of both the candelabra and the flowers. We added strings of pearls in white and ivory to bring out the gorgeous floral organza table runner. Sarah is getting married in May and I wish it were this weekend. I can hardly wait
to see it all come together!!!
As a bonus, Sarah and Greg took home the arrangement. It might not look as large in the picture but ask Greg, it was huge!!!
Thank you for such a delightful evening.
Love,
Michelle

What about the Men at a Wedding?



Hi!

When I show the Estate to a prospective Bride and Groom, the Groom is always amazed that we have a "Groom's Room" for him. Complete with hardy sandwiches before the wedding, our Grooms are treated like royalty too!

Jeray of Jeray Lynn Photography - (909)709-3638), sent over these great shots of the Groom and his Groomsmen. The Bride's Mother took me up on a wish I have had for a long time. She found a special t-shirt and the Brother of the Bride wore it!!! .... Superman in my phone booth!!

Don't be left out or looked over or neglected, The Jones Victorian Estate is a site just for you!
Smiles,
Michelle

Crystals added the Glam to Heather's day!





Hi!

Heather's theme was glam, Glam, GLAM. It was wonderful because it was definitely
glamorous but also precious with a real personality.
We added crystals to the arch, the aisle decoration and her bouquet. Heather brought in a variety
of crystal vases that we filled with flowers. Each table was different and unique thanks to Alison at Flower Allie. Did you see her bouquet, breathtakingly beautiful!
We had so much fun meeting and figuring out just the right touches!
Love,
Michelle

Heather and Chris at the Jones Victorian Estate!

Hi!
Joel Austell of Joelaustellphotography just sent me a couple of photographs from Heather and Chris' wedding.
His pictures are so adorable that I feel like a Peeping Peggy looking at them. It's like each
picture captured their private moment but in reality, I was right there too!
Great job, Joel! Well done!
Pictured here, Heather and Chris sitting on the our swing in the grassy knoll, walking together to the swing and up behind the waterfall. The sun was in the perfect spot to capture the beauty of them and their surroundings.
love,
Michelle

Our site for her and now her daughter!!



Hi!

It's a great day at the Jones Victorian Estate!!!!
Kathleen and David are getting married here on April 7th, 2012.
You might be asking, what the big deal is? Isn't fun with all your brides?
My answer is definitely Yes!!!
However, What makes this day extra special for me is that her Mother, Kelly, was married here too!!!
Here's Kelly, Mom and my past Bride, with Kathleen, my new Bride!!! I had to take a picture of me and Kelly!
I can hardly wait.
It's so funny because Rick, her father, wanted lots and lots of shrimp cocktail at his wedding. In fact, I think that was his only request. So, I told him that at his daughter's wedding, he'll have his own plate heaped full of shrimp cocktail!
Thank you so much for choosing the Jones Victorian Estate and most importantly, entrusting me with your daughter and new son-in-law!!! I love my job!!!
Love,
Michelle


Charming touches at the Jones Victorian Estate



Hi~

I met with Sarah, one of my May Bride's, and we both agreed that we wanted to add a few more special touches for her special day!
Since, we're using our
amazing silver candelabras dripping with pearls for the centerpieces, we decided on something romantic with the
same feel for decorations.

Check this out!! (It was cloudy :) when I took the picture this morning.) I made a crystal and pearl wreath to hang at the entrance to the ceremony. Sarah is having a beautiful caligraphy card made with "Sarah and Greg" to add to the wreath.

It's a simple way to add charm and value to her Wedding. Besides, it was so much fun making it and it's gorgeous! Pearls and Crystals, I love it!

Find your own style and have fun with it! The value comes when it's just the right touch!
Love,
Michelle

A Wedding and Reception at the Jones Victorian Estate






Hi!
I just received this note and it brightened my day!!
Thank you so much Brandi and Kyran. It was an incredible day!
Love,
Michelle



Michelle,

This is a long over due note but Kyran and I cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding the best day of our lives. Your attention to detail, meticulous planning and kind nature helped create a magical day – one that exceeded all our expectations.

Walking up to the Jones Victorian Estate on the day of our wedding was a moment we will never forget. Everything was set up and placed perfectly - from the flowers, to the arch for the ceremony, to the napkin folds, all perfect. You took our ideas, added your creativity and imagination, and crafted an event that will live in our minds for the rest of our lives.

You made the most important day of our life a wonderful and stress free day. From the first day of planning thru the day of the wedding -everything ran smoothly because of you. On our wedding day, if we needed something you knew where to find it, if our guests were sitting in the sun, you adjusted their umbrella, if someone needed a drink, it was refilled immediately. Somehow, you managed to be everywhere, yet you remained hidden in the shadows, never taking the spotlight off the event. You truly have a gift for knowing what your bride, groom and guests need. We will never be able to express our true gratitude. Simply awesome! We hope to talk with you soon.

Brandi and Kyran
