wedding weekend: decor

When your almost sister gets married at your house, you tend to take a lot of pictures. 226, to be precise.  Trying to narrow down a few for this blog seemed virtually impossible, so I decided to break it down into two posts: decor and people. 

The catering/decorating was done by Chive, a local establishment that prides itself on being sustainable, organic, 0% waste, etc etc.  They really made my parents' house -- already a beautiful setting -- into something magical and stunning.  And the food from local farms/places mostly around the north shore was spectacular.  They had this vegetable cheese flat bread that I'm pretty sure changed my life.  And then a Creme Brulee bar for dessert?! I'm in heaven.  Hello Salted Almond Caramel Creme Brulee, can you be in my life forever?

Anyway. . .enough chit-chat, on to the pictures (in no particular order).

 Can you believe this is my parents' driveway? I'm telling you - the place became magical!







 I love that Jess & David contributed to Gentle Bells, as a thank you to my parents for them hosting the wedding.

 "May the Mind of Christ, My Savior"
a hymn sung at Craig & Margot's wedding, as well as Brooke & David's, Alyson and Albert had it read at their wedding last year, and Jess finished it off by having it sung in hers.
 I wish I were eating all of this again right now.
I'd take two more of these, please
 There was a bit of rain - but not too much.
Showers of blessings for their wedding and marriage!




Jess was prepared with umbrellas for folks

Now that you have a good sense of the setting and decorations, I'm sure you can hardly wait to see the bride and groom. Well, never fear, they're up next!
