We are back with more from Amber and John's beautiful wedding. I love the details of the reception so very much. Here are a few specifics from the bride...

The centerpieces were bright mixed flowers of zinnias, dahlias, hypernicum berries and cosmos.  They were arranged in a variety of garden containers.  Each table had a different combination of containers on the table, and at the end of the night we gave them away to our guests.  There were candles on all the tables and around the barn.  The tablecloths and linens were cream and sable with cream china.  We had very little decorating to do because the barn was already decorated just like an old barn should be.  The front of the barn had a stage for the band with brown velvet curtains.

Nothing like dancing the night away at the end of a beautiful day. Thank you to Andy Wakeman for letting me share this lovely, vintage-farm inspired wedding with our readers!

This couple met thanks to the bride's mom! A chance meeting over some legal advice led to friendship, and happily ever after. The wedding ceremony took place in the exact spot that the groom proposed.  The couple picked the site because of its beautiful scenery and the special meaning that the orchard has to them and to groom’s family.

Stay tuned for part two!

I am excited to share Robin and Jason's wedding today. Here is a little bit of how everything came together from the bride...

I'm one of those people that only ever wears black clothes, so naturally my theme for the wedding was black and white. It's classic, gorgeous, and everyone looks great in black! I did however, want to add some color to the day, so I decided since I was having an October wedding, bright fall colors would be perfect. The fall colors ended up taking over quite a bit, with the bright centerpieces, bouquets, and I even used the pink, red, orange, and yellow in the stationery.
