Upon deciding where to have this amazing intimate wedding…we thought, “how about our house?” My quaint little 1950’s home? Believe me when I say…quaint & only an intimate wedding would do..we are talking about 20 people, minus 2….

this little house with its original plumbing and pink tiled bathroom cant take too much action… along with an aged thermador oven that is still in great working order….but too small for a well endowed turkey or anything greater or equal to that…I panicked…slightly & quietly I said “let’s do this”
 

 

so..a beautiful wedding in one’s home, huh?  Dreamy and filled with romance

 I have found,,intimate weddings create all kinds of memories that linger forever…like a picture hanging on the wall, leaving an imprint or shadow when the rest of the wall has faded.

After all the planning and laying out the design…we discussed,

 hmmmd & awwwwd

then we,,,moved into action.

 

Laughter, Love and Surrender filled this house that day and poured over to each guest, causing us to ponder our own hearts, marriage, love, losses, and gravitated us towards the new, fearless love before us.

I am so thankful for my Love, my Laughter, My best friend and Husband {Jim}

He fills my heart with such joy and completeness…..no fear in this girl…for I have learned there is nothing to loose in loving so dearly.

I’m a woman who has been given a gift of a legendary kind of love; the kind that moves mountains, fills deserts, and expands my world to greatness.  Ok, on to the photos….enough of the rabbit trail, path or whatever you want to call it….
 

 

A table for two…Mr. & Mrs
. & for her…..peonies, ranunculus & touches of wheat

{my favorite chairs, sold to me by my dear friend,,Michelle}

..its a long story..those chairs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 At the end of the day as we swept up the floor and moved our sofa and coffee table back in their place, we reflected on our 

{jump in this puddle attitude,,,only to realize…its messier and deeper than expected} 

 all is, as it should be…

until the Christmas tree arrives to take its stately place by the window.

 

 

A simple love affair…



 

 

 There will always be that couple that steps into your world and with each step, they fill it with their love and sunshine…Levell & Rocio are such that couple
. He is a man of character and filled with a soul for God and she, petite and lovely with a quiet loving soul for God

Doused in love and lots of R-E-S-P-E-C-T….{sing it Miss Franklin} it has been my joy and honor

to design and create this simple but yet, elegant wedding for these two.

 

with my team and I in tow….French Bouquet loaded for bear and trucked down to The Grand. The Grand was filled with family & friends by the time

we laid out the last lantern, lite the last candle and picked up our shears and twine.

{we try to skedaddle out before the guest arrive,,,,,but I think all were so excited about Levell and Rocio’s union, causing them to arrive much earlier than expected…

{or maybe, word was out & they wanted to capture a behind the scene, glance at my artistry in action….that’s a big LOL, coming from this side of the computer} kidding aside….it was all about these two and their great love and respect for each other that gathers people together, holds them as honored witnesses and the privileged few, plus a live blues band and great food ain’t all bad either. lets get the celebration going.

It’s all good…..Cheers
