This sign was at the back of the church where we came in.
This was a unique way of lighting the room that was used for the reception. This is a large tree branch, strung with lights and hung upside down!
They had 4 of them hung up and it looked nice when you could see the whole thing. Bob said they had to get a lift into the building to hang them up. :)
They used stamped pieces of wood to number the tables. They also had pieces of wood with slits cut into them, where the put name cards to show the seating arrangements.
Here's one of the centerpieces.
We had chili, baked potatoes, cornbread, soup and salad to eat. Then, instead of cake, we had cheesecake!
Aren't these beautiful? Such a variety of flavors and all were made by the bride and her mom!
What a nice evening it was. I like the way people personalize their weddings now!
I love the cheesecake idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Personalized weddings are the best!
ReplyDeleteI also like the way people personalize their weddings....location, theme, etc. I bet that was beautiful. The cheesecakes look fantastic...the bride has the knack for sure. Hope the upcoming week will be good to you!
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely, Mari!!! What a lovely reception..
ReplyDeleteI have a wreath and put lights on that and hubby hung it above the dining table, there is no way to put a light above the table---so he improvised. It works...smiles
What great ideas for the tables and lighting! The cheesecake buffet is also wonderful! I agree with you regarding how weddings are so tailored to the bride and groom these days. Makes it much more personal and fun.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wedding decor! We go to few weddings anymore....but I never tire of seeing pictures for those who do :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun wedding. I like when it when I see Family touches! I am seeing more and more Pies for wedding receptions these days. I like it!!
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful wedding!
ReplyDeleteand crazy weather - it was in the 60s here this past weekend!!
Looks beautiful! The cheesecakes all looked pretty (and delicious) too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely wedding reception! I hope that the special couple have a very long and happy marriage! xx
ReplyDeleteI love this! The lights make me think of icicles. Perfect with the theme. I want to do my wedding over again.
ReplyDeleteWow I wish I could start getting these types of invites. You guys do nothing but party down :~} xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool wedding! I love the pretty trees and lights. So pretty with all the dark blue I bet. And I love that their menu was so homey and yummy - and those cheesecakes!! Wow!! Did I ever mention cheesecake is one of my Annie's favorite foods on the planet? Lol May need to remember that idea for her wedding some day. ;)
ReplyDeleteBlessings on the week ahead dear Mari!! xoxo
What a lovely wedding. So personal and beautiful and sensible! I love the cheese cake idea, too.
ReplyDeletebeautiful - but I wouldn't want to make all those cheesecakes!
ReplyDeleteI do too! The weddings reflect more of the bride and groom now. Not so cookie-cutter like when our generation got married :) I also like the different style of photography that captures more natural moments with the couple, and fun (often hilarious!) poses of the wedding party.
ReplyDeleteSo much creativity out there now! I wonder how we would do our weddings if we were to get married today? :)
I liked the tree branches hanging from the ceiling. What a lovely way to bring beauty inside!
ReplyDeleteI like the personalized weddings, too.
