A Vintage Affair

Just recently my niece Sarah got married.  Isn't she beautiful?

This niece of mine had a vision for a vintage wedding.  Her dress was custom made by a seamstress friend, as were all the bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dress.  Sarah's vision was a fully detailed on so she knew exactly what she wanted.  She had almost 2 months to plan this vintage wedding while working around the timing of military leaves and a tornado and this is what she managed to accomplish:

A beautiful, God-honoring ceremony under a white tent surrounded by green scenery.

A photo-booth manned by a photography friend, equipped with old doors for a backdrop and vintage props.

So that handsome guests like the young man above could ham it up for their future photographical enjoyment.  (theirs will be in black and white though)

A suitcase for cards, next to the gift table, with other pieces of old furniture scattered around.

Her grandmother's wedding gown displayed, along with vintage pictures of family.

A dessert reception that was displayed on classic old tables with what seemed like endless vintage platters and plates.

Antique cars to transport the wedding party.

Hand stamped antiqued tags with table names (instead of numbers) displayed on an antique hutch.

Varying centerpieces of vintage table cloths and runners, stacks of old books tied with raffia and the table name on a tag.  The floral arrangements were in mason jars and consisted of some purchased and many harvested flowers from a friend's yard.  Both the bouquets on the tables and carried by the wedding party were arranged by a friend who does beautiful bridal work.

But one of my very favorite things she was able to pull off was the couple above.  (my little miss V and my great-nephew Eli)  They handed out roses and looked just plain darling.  They definitely were the best looking couple at the event.

Well.... maybe these two were a close second, lol!  Congratulations Jordan and Sarah!  I love you guys!
