mrs. jones loves a wedding! and now has a new standard of excellence: the nuptial celebration this weekend for a dear friend’s daughter and her lovely young man. the ceremony (at st. mary’s) was reverent and beautiful, and the reception that followed was entirely fabulous. held at summer trees, the bride’s family’s farm, their many special touches included a bourbon sno-cone & cigar bar and all kinds of swanked-up local specialties on the table, from fried green tomatoes to memphis-style barbequed sausage. the fantastic band had everyone dancing, while candles and chandliers lit up the lawn, and the happy couple glowed.
here are just a few snaps i took at the party:
in the center of one of the buffets, colleen clustered the candelabra that it had been my recent pleasure to re-do. so, for those of you looking for the “after” shots, here they are:

Gorgeous, I can “feel” it…the atmosphere, the location. I love the simplicity of just green and white. The bride is so pretty. Brilliant on the candle center piece. It must have been just a lovely evening. And THAT cake….lillies of the valley!!! I just got to smell them when I went back to Boston. they grow everywhere and they do not grow in CA.
