Styling details
“Our ceremony had Tuscan
vases, which would one day be
used in our newly built home,
filled with flowers matching our
bouquets. The aisle was scattered
with rose petals collected from
my brother in law’s garden, we
had old music paper rolled into
cones filled with petals and tied
ceremony programs with vintage
ribbon on each chair. There were
signs placed around the property
directing guests which were made
by my grandfather and hand
painted by Lucius and myself.
For the reception, our seating
chart was made from an old door
that we found. We brushed it
down and nailed small picture
frames to the door with guest
tables printed in each frame. We
collected old Fowlers jars from
my father in law’s property in
the country and placed candles
in each one to light the stairway
to the marquee for our guests.
Tables had small French inspired
glass bottles and miniature
bird cages placed around large
candelabras with cascading floral
arrangements. In the marquee, we
hung fairy lights and artificial ivy
around each post surrounding the
dance floor to enhance the space.”
