my friends but worth the look.
Our friends Cathy and Randy were married behind a log cabin from late 1790 or there about. This is the old door they stood in front of for their vows covered in beautiful wisteria and bridal veil spirea flower arrangements. This property belongs to Cathy's best friend who is a professional florist who has done the flowers for the Georgia Governors Ball. I cannot convey the beauty of the grounds, house, and cabin. I wrote about their love story and engagement in my Hold Everything Lightly series in Love At The Hardware Store.
More bridal veil spirea and popcorn viburnum collected from an old home place nearby.
Many of the tables were covered in toile and the china on our table was transferware.
Now I want a cabin in my side yard.
When asked what kind of cake she wanted Cathy said no cake. She replied "I want cakes." She had eleven different cakes made by her friends and family. We sampled as many as we could. The Humming Bird Cake was my favorite.
The Caramel Cake was gone before we got to the cakes. We had a wonderful time at this log cabin wedding. The attire was casual so Joe and I wore cowboy boots which was fun.
Thank you for your sweet comments yesterday. I am sore but doing just fine today.

Olive, what a beautiful yet casual setting for a wedding. The log cabin is adorable as is the quilts inside the cupboard. Love the idea that there were many cakes to choose from instead of the traditional wedding cake. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteso beautiful, I love a garden wedding! the doors and flowers are just perfect! and give Shelley a birthday hug from me!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a more perfect setting. How fortunate that the bridal veil spirea was in bloom now. It is a favorite of mine. And then using the black toile for the tables gave it that sophistication you can't beat. I love it that friends brought their favorite cakes instead of one large wedding cake. You sound like you enjoyed this wedding thoroughly. That's nice.
ReplyDeleteJust read your C.S. Lewis quote on prayer at sidebar and loved it so much!
What a wonderful start to their marriage. A beautiful setting, flowers, cakes, and surrounded by their friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful wedding site and surrounding beauty! I love the idea of all those cakes! Such a wonderful personal touch. Thanks for sharing, Olive. Ann P.S. Now, to go see why you are sore...
ReplyDeleteI went back and re-read their sweet story! You must show a photo of the bride and groom! What a joyful sounding couple! I love the doors as a backdrop idea. And CAKE!! Oh, dear! This was a fabulous idea! What great friends you have.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! How absolutely beautiful; what a perfect setting, and it looks like the weather was perfect as well. Your photos are great. Too bad about that caramel cake...my favorite. I'd have perched myself right next to that thing. Thank you for sharing this beautiful, beautiful place!
