More Wedding Pictures!

Getting ready ... Here comes the bride...

Joy carried a bouquet of twenty-five white peonies and lambs ear. Although it was a vintage inspired wedding there are touches of the modern. All the men in the wedding wore gray converse shoes, aka chucks.

Exchanging of the vows!

Joy with her brides maids and man of honor.

Lil tug o war fun....

The wedding was such a joyously, fun event. These pictures are courtesy of

Thanks for sharing in the Posey-Lesley wedding joy!

A penny for my shoe.

Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue. So the old saying goes

My daughter Joy was married last Saturday. It was a very beautiful event with a sentimental vintage theme. Just one of these sentiments was the detail of having pennies to tuck inside her wedding shoes. It's hard to find pennies from 1956, but she did it!

the something blue is on her shoeclips... Joy ordered these from etsy, then we embellished them with some vintage hat netting and buttons from great grandma's button jar.

The something borrowed is my mother's wedding dress... she wore it June 30th 1956...thus the year of the penny.

Doesn't it look lovely on Joy... June 11th 2011!

Pink...

is blooming in the garden... old english roses on a silver tray.

I adore the many petaled cabbage rose.

A closer look.

Here's a smidge of shabby chic~ness. Another variety of english rose in a peachy pink tone. These roses smell heavenly !

Old fashioned hollihocks are sweet too!

What's blooming in your garden, hmmmmmn ?

Alas... not meant to be...

these yellow straws were supposed to accompany Sanpellgrino bottles for my daughter, Joy's, wedding reception. But, the venue would not allow outside bevereges to come in. I ordered the straws from Shop sweet LuLu. These lil beauties make me smile.

The packaging was even happy!

Onehundred-twenty yellow striped straws! On the bright side, we can still use them with the other drinks.

But, I don't think they will look as sweet or pretty.

Cest la vie...in the meantime, I will enjoy a tasty little sip!

Life

Whether via circumstances, relationships, or emotions life can seem like a tangled mess... but, with a little time, effort, and thoughtfullness the mess can be straightened out... because some things in life are to valuable to discard...

and eventually the beauty that results is worth the trouble.

Sort of like the cashmere yarn that became tangled; it was too valuable to throw out. After four frustrating hours I was able to get it untangled and into a workable form. Do you like the results?

Hello All,
