GREEN AND GOLD ACCENTS WITH MIRRORS FOR KAILY AND AARON'S WEDDING AT THE JONES VICTORIAN ESTATE

Hi!

Gold, black and green! A nod to the green that is nature and the gold and mirrors for the elegance. After all, nature is so beautiful in its own right!

Seating to reflect the trees and greenery that is natural about the Jones Victorian Estate!


Only Magnolia leaves in the centerpieces!!! THAT'S ALL! The contrast of the leaves added the gold element brought into the rest of the design.


Even the Arch was completely covered!
Kaily's favorite!
Wooohooo! Congratulations!!!
We did it!
So precious!
Where? Our drive! Love, Love it!

Here is our finale... End of the evening rose petal exit!!!

Absolutely Beautiful! 

DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE MEN! THE JONES VICTORIAN ESTATE - the Jones Victorian Estate

HI!
Don't forget the men in the wedding planning!! He might say, "it's all up to you!" He might say, "you decide!" Or, he might say, "what's the bar?"

Whatever he says, look beyond that. In my experience, he is saying more than that. So, make sure you have his favorite drink. Make a basket for his men's room that includes candy bars and/or cookies! Go with him when he picks out his tux or suit!

Here at the Estate, I always include the Groom because he definitely has an opinion. It is probably the same or close to your tastes because he loves you so. Just include him.... does he like desserts? Remember that cake tasting is a blast!!

What is your dream? Don't forget him in the planning!

WHIMSICAL AND GREEN WAS THE THEME AT THE JONES VICTORIAN ESTATE! (714) 744-1608 Unique Site, Orange County Wedding site

Hi!

The mix of fresh picked greens, the textures and sizes of the cut stumps, the glow of amber votive candle holders, the freshness of real moss, the whimsical touches of homemade snails and mushrooms, the warm surprise of burlap table runners, the crisp brown guest napkin tied with twine with a spring of fresh rosemary, the elegance of tapered candles in green, amber and clear wine bottles and the creative wooden table numbers, all came together creating just the natural and green theme that was Denise and Jeff's wedding reception.

Since Denise and Jeff enjoy and collect quotes, she made wooden tags with their favorite quotes for each guest as favors. What was truly amazing, she made 100 tags each with a personalized quote!!!
"Marriage is not a noun, it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way ou love your partner every day." Barbara De Angelis
She painted Bride and Groom signs that we hung from their chairs. She even painted on an old door another special quote, welcoming the guests to her ceremony!!
"The purpose of our lives is to be happy" Dalai Lama
The creativity didn't stop at the tables!! Here, Denise made a beautiful twig, burlap seating chart. Each tag was pinned to the burlap covered board with rock topped pins!!!
This was a wonderful display of not only her craftsmanship but Jeff's too. After all, he cut the logs for the tables, cut the wood for our signs, added his special quotes to the mix, and
gave us the encouragement and added fun to really enjoy this process!! Well done!!

A REVIEW FROM CALDWELL'S PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE JONES VICTORIAN ESTATE

Hi!
I just found this review from Caldwells Photography and it was so well written that I just have to post it!



"Julianna and Kevin’s wedding was a beautiful fusion of simplicity and elegance.   The festive atmosphere was accentuated by the charming ambiance afforded by the Jones’ Victorian Estate’s bubbling streams and splashing water fall, all surrounded by swaying palm trees draped in twinkling lights.  This tranquil estate was  the perfect setting for Andrew and Anjula, of Caldwell Photography, to capture the romantic glances exchanged by Jules and Kevin while the newly wed couple were bathed in the rays of the setting sun.  The entire ceremony was orchestrated perfectly by the Jones’ Victorian Estate’s very own Michelle Gregory.  Michelle seemed to be every where at once, making sure things were running smoothly and that the guests, as well as the crew behind the scenes, were well taken care of."

Thank you so much for the great review! I enjoyed working with you!
Love,
Michelle Gregory
