Fall Wedding

Our daughter is getting married in early October,  so it's pretty hectic around here.     The wedding ceremony will be at a beautiful old church,   but the reception will be here at our home.

We are hoping for good weather so we can hold the reception in the back yard.   But we are prepared to hold it in our home if the weather doesn't cooperate.

I wanted to show you some of the decor that I am doing for the wedding.      I staged the vignette that I plan to use on the front porch today.....I will take a photo of it....and pack everything in a tote.    On the day of the wedding,   anyone can look at my photo,  unpack the tote and put the vignette back together.

I found this piece of architecture at a yard sale for $8 and thought it would be perfect for an autumn wedding......

I've had this blackboard a long time and you've seen it many times before.   I have it hung below my architectural piece.   The initial will be an S on the day of the wedding.

I know these bride and groom nutcrackers would be perfect for a Christmas wedding,  but I think they will be okay for a fall wedding.

Since luggage will be part of the honeymoon,   I am using this vintage train case as part of my porch decor.   I have one of the vintage wedding gown pumpkins that I made in the train case.   

Next to the welcoming table,  is a stack of vintage luggage.    The top one has an  opening  for wedding cards.

I have a string of bingo   "cards" to add a little whimsy.

Our daughter will be a beautiful bride.

While I was working on the porch,   H was busy in the kitchen.    He will do most of the cooking for the wedding reception,  but today he is making a cake for us.    We can't eat a whole cake ,  so the grandkids will be getting about half of it .

I had found these ceramic  hanky plates at a yard sale .....$1 each.....and I'm going to sit down and have 

a piece of H's delicious cake and a cup of tea.

Melissa  (our daughter) and I are making all the bouquets,   H and the groom are doing the briskets  and side dishes,    and the whole family is pitching in!
