A few years ago we attended the most adorable wedding reception. The son of very dear long time friends married the girl of his dreams. The shabby chic backyard wedding party theme was absolutely fabulous!
Candles lit the way hanging in delightful jars as we walked up to the house.
The hanging lights set the mood before we even signed the guest book.
And the guest book! We signed classic little cards with our best marriage advice.
The display was fitting for a shabby chic event!
And for sending off the bride and groom at the end of the night there were sparklers!
A vintage suitcase held a collection of wedding cards.
How adorable are these chalkboard signs that told the story of the budding romance?
Vintage frames with fresh flowers in a collection of different vases served as centerpieces on the burlap covered tables.
I was told the brides sisters made the adorable garland streamers.
There were individual flatware pockets that included the napkin and a straw along with salt & pepper. Oh so cute!
The beverage bar had several choices of fruity summer beverages. This is just a tiny taste of this fabulous wedding party! There was delicious food, a gorgeous cake, an ice cream bar, a photo booth and even a dance floor!
