I know you love them and weddings that incorporate a bow tie into the guys' wardrobe are all over the blogosphere. But how do you tie a bow tie? Here is a video tutorial from Henry Poole Co. of Saville Row, London. {scroll down}
La la la -- yes the suspenders definitely increase the cool factor of the already adorable bow tie. Perfect for an outdoor afternoon soiree. I think a sundae bar or old fashion soda fountain is in order for this celebration!
Oh my! Gingham bow ties? Combined with a seersucker pocket square - you have won my heart! Now that's a southern gentleman ready for the altar in style.
The trend for fresh, loosely gathered bridal bouquets continues into the fall and incorporates an eclectic mix of rustic greens, twigs and tender blooms. Large or small these organic bouquets are as unique and beautiful as the bride who carries them.
Here are a few wildflower bouquets that evoke the true sense of 'wild':
If you are considering a wildflower bouquet it is important to know which flowers are naturally in season for your wedding date. Even in winter there is something blooming wild and free ~ Coco Chanel's favorite flower was the camelia, which blooms in winter and early spring.
here is one last bouquet filled with winter texture and loveliness:
Amanda described a french market theme wedding reception at her first appointment with me. I love a church wedding and one that will also incorporate a french style had me on board immediately.
An afternoon wedding with a reception on the lawn of a beautiful historic church ~ We don't think it gets any lovelier.
Our crystal tumblers were the perfect touch on the beverage table with these lovely dispensers from Caroline's Helping Hands.
Our 8 ft. farm table is all gussied up with bunting, silver and lots of gorgeous details ready for the yummy food provided by Chez Bazan. Caroline's Helping Hands styled the food table with gorgeous silver trays, staffed the reception and worked tirelessly to ensure the celebration was a success!
This grand fete was held at First Presbyterian Church in Tyler Texas ~ a beautiful church listed on the registry of historic places.
Our French desk is overflowing with china plates and napkins
This old army footlocker has never looked so sweet!
The petite vanity holds cake plates and forks ready for guests. Adorned with a custom bunting created with vintage images from The Graphics Fairy and using the shipping label method for printing directly onto fabric.
Our chandelier sparkled in the dappled shade over the lounge seating area.
The kissing booth was a fun detail we came up with early in the design and never abandoned. It turned out adorable ~
The new couple will honeymoon in Paris {of course!} so we used Parisian themed postcards courtesy of The Graphics Fairy for a travel themed bunting on the sign. Bonjour!
On the terrace overlooking the lawn were 4 pub tables covered with toppers custom sewn by us from a french themed fabric.
This shabby couture cake stand is a new addition to our wedding decor inventory. It measures 10" across and recently debuted on a delicious cookie bar.
Our lovely sweetheart chair holds a bridal bouquet for a special photo op. If you would like to incorporate the little chair in your bridal session contact us today. melanie@prairiesageevents.com
We recently added 6 of these birch bark floral containers to the shabby rustic inventory. They measure 5 inches square and have a plastic liner for keeping flowers fresh throughout the reception celebration.
These birch bark pots would compliment these shabby mason jars embellished with fabric and lace details when used for reception table floral containers.
The wildflower centerpieces and wedding party bouquets were
the perfect crowning touch and even the cake was graced with the magic of LaTee Da flower shop in Tyler Texas. Tulips, lavender, & ranunculus were
included in the wedding flower details. Reception table centerpieces were
created by La Tee Da in white garden pots supplied by Prairie Sage.
Katie puts the final flower magic on the lovebird cake
The tables were set with mis matched china, cutlery & a menu card featuring a sweet blue bird graphic courtesy of The Graphics Fairy.
{At Prairie Sage, we love to bring The Graphics Fairy to our custom wedding designs}
Catering was provided by The Fatt Apple of Lindale Texas. Darla and her staff always provide exceptional service and delicious food. A key ingredient to a fabulous wedding celebration is great food!
A cookie bar included vintage cake stands, apothecary bottles filled with dried wildflowers and cookies baked by the brides parents. {a few 'broke' during set up so we had to eat them.. a tough job right?}
Elmwood Gardens is a magical place where wedding memories are beautiful! Congratulations to Alicia and Bobby ~ Happy Wedding Wishes!
