wedding - contiunued (2)

Amy and Jeremy wanted a vintage style wedding and they got it.    Homemade paper fans for everyone , table runners were made from burlap.    Canning jars were decorated with tags to write names on to use during the course of dinner.  Easels holding chalkboards to direct parking, rest rooms etc....
Donna (brides mom)  made this chandy from canning jars,  heavy to hang -but it's up there.    As the day grew to dusk, the chandy gave a pleasant warm glow,   very pretty.         

love the blue ones

the menu sign is true to its words -  GOOD EATS

Before the wedding we had appetizers and refreshments

You can see the breeze was getting a little stronger right before the ceremony,   the vases were sprayed wine bottles and various other glass cylinders  by brides mother.

 Second cousins to the bride  - Kendall (above) and Krissy (below pic) who are sisters , carried the flag in the ceremony and wore their shiny red shoes ,  there is a reason for the red,  will tell ya later though.

Cherry coke bar,   the ice and cokes were set out later,  this was taken during set up

all of Amy's flowers except for a very few were picked and brought to venue early Sunday morning.  The beautiful container of the ones above were brought by Amy's Aunt Lynn,  who stopped on the way to the wedding and picked by the country roadside,  can't buy flowers any prettier than ones like these that are full of color and being native to the  area  is even better.. 
  I brought some hydrangeas and other flowers from my garden.    I love the arrangement above, not sure who made it.
I have a few more pictures to post tomorrow too.       click  --  here is part three
till then - Betsy.
