The Solarium in Oakhurst is an excellent venue for a ceremony and/or reception. Or a rehearsal dinner, for that matter! I've been promoting this venue ever since it opened. It is in my neighborhood and I have attended many different types of functions there.
This sweet little wedding was held in May and the bride was excited to use garden flowers in vintage tins and mason jars that she had collected.
Bouquets consisted of daisies, roses, scabiosa, hydrangea, mint, astilbe, nerines, button mums and spray roses in a bright colorful mix.
Additional flowers such as sea thistle, tweedia, and cornflower along with ruscus and tree fern completed the summer, gardeny feel for the tables.
On of my favorite containers to use for gardeny, vintage, rustic weddings are old oil lamps. The bases make very cool table centerpieces.
The groom at this wedding has his own landscape company so we actually bartered a portion of the wedding flower cost. It's old fashioned, but they got wedding flowers and I've gotten some badly needed yard work done!

Great Couple + Fun Wedding - Andrea and Tyler
The Good Ol' Trolley Barn. Great, casual place to have a wedding/reception. Andrea chose this location because she wanted a laid back, have fun atmosphere.
I was pleased with this location and even more pleased with the arrival of this little fellow when I was setting up the wedding! Nothing spells good luck like a ladybug landing on your bouquet!
The aisle was very simply dressed with green wraps on the end chairs. A very budget-friendly yet neat and clever idea. These chairs were then repurposed for the reserved tables.
Andrea and her mother searched flea markets for these cute vintage hankies.
Andreas's dress is one of my all time favorites. So simple, elegant, comfortable and a tiny bit sexy!
She requested a little photo frame charm of her doggie to be attached to her bouquet!
The blue hydrangeas and small sunflowers complemented the linen green dresses of the bridesmaids.
The groom's boutonniere of daisy, cornflower and tiny scabiosa buds wrapped with wire.
And yes, there was a bagpiper.
Guests were directed to their tables via hang tags identified with different European castles.
The soy candles, the napkin rings and the table identifier frames were all made by Andrea or her mom!
A clever and simple, yet thoughtful detail.
Some tables had floating cornflower, sunflower and daisies.
Others had submerged sunflowers and hydrangea. The water presence helped give a bit of a "cooling" atmosphere to the warm summer evening.
Andrea and her cute grandparents!
