My Sister's Wedding

Well, I'm so far out of date on the "Time Warp" series that I think I'll hold off on posting this year's Spring weddings until the quieter winter months. In the meantime, I'm picking up at about where I started to get behind . . . my sister's wedding!

The colorful celebration took place in late June, at the glorious intersection of peony and dahlia season. I had to hold some of the more unusual peonies for a few weeks in the cooler, but it worked and my sister had all the bright colors we hoped for : ). Here are a few highlights.

The bouquets . . .


The favors, a twist on the classic jordon almond in netting (we used glassine and cotton twine) . . .

The programs, which doubled as fans on the warm, sunny day . . .

The delicious and very special sparking wine, made by a family friend, and the zinnia boutonnieres in the background . . .

The silk ribbon wands with silver bells for the many children in the ceremony . . .

My beautiful sister taking a peak out at the gathering guests before the ceremony . . .

The cozy barn reception, with big double doors opening into the vineyards on both sides (sadly not captured!) . . .

The magnificent (and delicious!) cake made by the groom's ridiculously talented mother, decorated with my grandparents' cake topper . . .

The ceremony site, the foggy morning after . . .

Congratulations, L&C!!!
