Many of you have asked that I post some of the pictures from my daughter’s wedding a couple years ago. Since it is wedding season I thought I would do a short series about three family weddings I was involved in. First up my daughter’s wedding at our home and on the range!!
The bride and her maids readying for the ceremony
The Groom and Groomsman coming from a little pre wedding “prep” at JJ’s
The beautiful bouquets!!
The ring bearer and his Auntie waiting for his big moment!
The wedding site in it’s raw integrity…the arbor was built by the bride’s brother and father (and still stands out in the pasture) we thought about decorating the arbor…some things are better left to nature…
The bride was escorted to the site in a vintage pink caddy by “Uncle Mike”
The Groom and Groomsmen in route to the ceremony
Custom “Cornhole” designed and constructed by the bride’s brother for the guests to enjoy pre wedding out in “the pasture”…Ry Ry enjoying a little game manuevering
This old truck has a history on the property The bride and groom used it’s image on all of their goodies!
The Officiant “Aunt Karen”
The bride and groom in our rose garden
Wine created especially for the occasion by our great friends from Marilyn Remark Winery here….http://www.remarkwines.com/ My son in law created the label design from a picture I took.
Wedding Day Brews crafted by the bride’s brother and sister in law…yes they are amazingly talented!! Believe it or not the guests drank more beer than wine because they were so interesting!
The Buffet at the Fountain
The bride and groom met in San Francisco so they chose San Francisco neighborhoods for their table names
Ikea Lanterns and glasses for votives…old sap buckets hold flower arrangements
The goodie bags filled with candy, cookies, water and wedding information!
The bride’s handsome brother preparing for his speech
Sister in Law of the Bride reminiscing ….
The dinner in our driveway!!
Dessert table with homemade cookies (baked by our good friend) were the first devoured!
Votives hanging in canning jars from the trees
The Bride and Groom at the Front Fountain at dusk…
Dinner under the stars…
The Groom’s sister reminiscing in front of our garage door reconceived as a gallery wall for the occasion
The bride and her maids enjoying the party!
This little guy (though clad in wedding attire) only made a brief appearance. If you have been reading this blog very long you know why….

CIndy, I am in awe of all you did for this wedding! Gorgeous. I love every single little bit! The tables with the yellow stripes, and the buckets of flowers were just darling..Especially love the ceremony in the open there and looking toward the mountains. You transformed your driveway into such a festive and pretty spot! Looks like this was a whole family effort of love and it shows. How fortunate you are to have such a talented and close family! The bride looked so beautiful and I loved her dress and the bridesmaids dresses and colors!
ReplyDeleteI am going to pin a bunch of these!

P.S. Forgot to tell you I adore the little ring bearer in his tennis shoes! Love that your dog got to get a bow tie as well and be part of it.
