“We are country people” is what the bride told me at our first meeting. She followed up with “I just want things to be pretty”. I was smitten with her and her vision for her sweet, sweet wedding.
The ceremony and reception would be held at her sister’s home, a farm in rural Richmond. When we scouted the property for the perfect ceremony location, the pond down the hill called for our attention. It was the perfect backdrop.
A few yards away was a barn we (and her entire family) lovingly transformed into a reception space. Her inspiration for decor was her future mother-in-law’s antique blue Ball canning jars. That and her love for hydrangeas. I think it turned out so sweet. Just like Jessie and TJ.
The ceremony overlooked the pond. The center aisle was marked by hydrangea vases on shephard hooks, and grass lined with white and blue petals.The arbor was lovingly built by the bride's father. We decorated it with curly willow, tulle, hydrangea, mums, and carnations.
Large blue umbrellas lined the outer aisles to provide some shade and visual interest/color.The arbor was lovingly built by the bride's father. We decorated it with curly willow, tulle, hydrangea, mums, and carnations.

The reception barn featured hanging tobacco cloth and paper lanterns. White ceiling fans were also installed to keep air moving and provide visual interest.
Tables featured navy runners, blue Ball canning jars with blue hydrangea, blue votive candles and personalized napkins.
A BBQ dinner was finished off with fruit topped cupcakes from Martines. YUM! You could smell the sugar in the air!
