Sigh..... fall is so romantic and Jessica and JT's reception was no different. They were lucky enough to be our first guests to enjoy the views up into the balcony. It really takes your breath away as you enter and gaze up into grand beams and delicate spinning fans (sorry getting carried away). The guests enjoyed cozy fireplaces, delicious caramel apples, strawberries, and an assortment of pies. I love the chalkboard with the pie menu idea! I also really liked the favor of honey; I've never seen this before but absolutely love the idea! This event was truly unique to Jessica's and JT's style which made the night extra special.
This is what you see as you enter the Barn now. WOW!
It's all about the details. Millie Garrett, the wedding planner and florist, did an amazing job with this event. From the strands of pearls draped in the gazebo to the gem encrusted dragonflies on the plants, no detail was spared. Moon Light lighting design team created an elegant canopy of Chinese lanterns and Italian bistro lights that draped across the night sky. Lori Esteban laid out an array of gourmet wedding cakes and Wedding Ice completed the package with frozen treats. This was one of the most beautiful weddings I have seen. My camera and photography skills do not do it the justice that it deserves.
They had vintage hats and coats for guest to dress up in for a photo booth.
Unfortunately I took these pictures at the end of the night after clean up so the linens and centerpieces are gone, however you get the idea of the lights at night.
The evening could not have been more perfect. Culinary Crafts set up a variety of food stations which included salmon, an assortment of fruits, gelato, and cotton candy.Every Bloomin Thing did a beautiful display of white roses hanging from ribbon in vases inside the gazebo and lining the archway. Christine Miller, the wedding planner,oversaw the affair making sure the night progressed flawlessly. A beautiful event!
I recently met an amazing photographer, Camilla Binks, who offered to come take pictures of Wadley Farms for her blog. Camilla's home base is conveniently close to us (and you know how we love our talented local vendors) and she is extremely gifted at her craft. As she states, "this is what (Wadley Farms) looks like through my eyes". Enjoy!
