What I Love

The intimate dining veranda swagged and drapped in white fabric, giving it a romantic and airy feeling, the wedding gown and suit that looks to be made out of the same bolts of fabric, the intimate family style table with lush roses and tall, thick pillar candles, and the different french country style antique chairs.

    I love the theme of antique and style coming together in this beautiful setting. The table is simple but the flowers make it so elegant. Love the mix match chairs. Who said you have to have a large wedding reception. This one idea is great for a small family wanting it simple, elegant and intimate!!

    Love it.
