A Woodland Wedding

Hello Ladies, hope you all are keeping cool!  Sounds like just about everyone is still experiencing a heat wave, Michigan included!  I am soooo looking forward to fall and cooler weather :)

Last night my youngest nephew got married, and it was such a beautiful wedding!  The only bad thing (other than the blazing heat & humidity) was that my camera decided to die at the reception!  I had taken a few pictures in the church during the ceremony and all was fine, then all of the sudden it went haywire!  The screen was just a blur of pinkish purple!  Phooey, what timing!  Well, we did have the camera for 7-8 years, so I guess we got our share of use out of it.  Luckily, my sister let me borrow her camera to take the following shots, and she them e-mailed them to me. What a lifesaver!

Anyway, the reception was outside under a large tent, and since the bride and groom are nature and outdoor lovers (like me!), the theme was a woodland setting.  It was magical!  The cake, which was covered in fondant, had the sweetest little deer topper.  Not sure if you can see, but the buck has a little bow tie, and the doe has a little veil.  Adorable!

These neat swags decorated the inside of the tent.  They own a landscaping business, and are into vintage John Deere tractors, so that explains the John Deere in the center!

This chandelier was even neater in person than in the pictures!  An Ikea chandelier was adorned with antlers for a rustic-woodland meets shabby chic look!

I thought these little birdhouses and birds were just charming!  They were embellished with rocks, pebbles, twigs & moss.

I love this lemonade decanter.

The chocolate fountain was a huge hit!  Delish!

That's me & hubby.  It was such a hot & muggy night, must've been 1000% humidity (ok, maybe not 1000%, but you get my drift!)

The happy couple! It was such a wonderful night, full of lots of meaning.  Hubby & I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary later this month!

Hubs picked up a new Cannon camera today, so once I figure out how to use it, I'll post all of the goodies I bought at "Michigan's longest garage sale" this weekend.  Have a great day!
