Set one of two from the wedding...

I am going to split the wedding pictures into two posts as there are quite a few. I promise we will try to get back on track with the food posts after I get the next set of pictures done. Thank you again for bearing with us! We are flying our way back home tomorrow and I can't wait to get started cookin' and bakin' in the kitchen this week! *As always, pics are clickable for larger and more clear viewing if you so choose. You also may need to click it again depending on your browser as they may try to resize it and it can get pixilated.

I showed you in the last set some of the open areas of the farm. This was quickly changed as we set up just under 250 folding chairs.

Mom turned this old tree that had to be cut down into a large circular plant holder near the house.

She worked very hard to get even the smallest details done for Jennifer and Steve. She planned out and put together this large iron archway for the minister and wedding party to stand by. She decorated it with grapevines just cut from the farm along with some of the flowers she grows.

Here is a rare shot of her - still working in her dress no less. She is placing red roses on the kneeling bench for them to give out later.

Jen and Steve met and fell in love in a bowling league of all places, so Mom made sure to come up with many references to that. Here is one of the pieces she made.

They wanted to have the reception and dance also at the farm, so two huge tents were put up - after we got all of the tables set up, we had to get them covered in tablecloths and decorated.

Here is how Mom had us decorate the head table - MANY fresh lilacs were freshly cut and set on each of the guest tables as well. Behind them are several lattice panels in different heights laced with more grapevines, flowers and some lights.

Here's a sneak peak of the happy couple - we will post tomorrow the final set of wedding pics and then back to the food!
