Are you a Destination Bride?

  Who doesn't want to go the distance?

  Look around there are lots of wonderful locales just like this in and around where you live.  Takes a little more work on your part or that of your wedding planner, but Oh, the wonderful memories and photographs you'll have to cherish them by.  We had the opportunity to work with Dale Pickett of Indianapolis who took the photographs for one of our top Indiana destination locales. 

Location Adams Mill - Front of actual Mill

Makes a great Welcoming point and Reception area for the guest as it sits directly adjacent to the parking lot

It's all in the Details!  We pulled in a lot of wonderful elements that played well with our setting.  Sage green dresses and vests to play off the red barns.  We even pulled out the Red Velvet Wagon for some delight and playful ambiance.  A red berry bouquet for the bride.  Crocheted table runner for the picnic table, topped off with hammered aluminum serverware, containers and aluminum buckets iced down to hold colored bottles of soda.

And Jack Daniels for the Adults!  Lynchburg Limeade of course

And the Bride wore....

A traditional Ivory gown with a natural waist bodice accented with just a touch of champagne lace and small ribbon sash.  Of course the gown must look good on you, but if it can play into and highlight your surrounding, all the more memorable.  Just that small touch of lace in that champagne color lended itself to that rustic feel of the locale with out being too countrified or over-bearing for our bride.  The small berry bouquet in our satin cone bouquet holder added a bit of natural whimsy, and really make a nice natural contrast.

To tie in the brides bouquet to the maids and goomsmen a bit of the berries were added

Since it was a Hot late summer day we opted for no Jackets and Khaki pants.  That being the case, we needed to kick it up a notch with some fun, high contrast, Energy Ties in the matching sage color.

 NRG Tie - Available at Blessed Beginnings in 15 different colors!

Our wedding took place by the Wildcat Creek, with a guitarist strumming soft serenades.

You don't have to loose the all the wonderful elements of the church setting when you do an outdoor wedding.  Bring them with you.  We added a stain glass window with our sage green colors to set in front of our make shift alter.

And our iron, unity candle, cross set, looks breathtaking against the falls.  Just make sure to use globes for your candles to block the breeze.  This item is also available to rent from Blessed Beginnings

On to the Buffet coordinated with our Princess House serverware set in bronze iron display racks.  This server set allowed us to add height, dimension and style to our table.  The iron brought in a natural feel and crystal made it sparkle!

You don't have to sacrifice having a delightful spread when you're opting to go it alone, such as a having a carry in with your family assisting you.  You just have to have a plan, and that means providing them with the coordinated serverware in which they can bring their scruptious food.  If you need assistance with designing your own unique event our Social Coordinating service is here to help!

 The old grape arbor was a dream setting for our dinner.

  Picnic tables draped with table cloths made for a cozy, intimate setting.

 And this is where we leave you this fall, dreaming of 2008 summer weddings.

 Stay warm and sleep tight over the winter!  See you in the Spring!
