Hubby and I are attending the wedding of Jeff, the son of a couple we have known since we were first married. Jeff and his lovely fiance, are getting married over Labor Day weekend in St. Helena, California. The wine country in Northern California is amazing.

This is the winery where the wedding will be held. Are we in Italy?
Anyway, since my friend is the “mother of the groom” she and her husband will be hosting the rehearsal dinner. They have a venue and are in the process of selecting invitations and determining centerpieces for the tables.

I love the simplicity of a single hydrangea blossom in a jelly jar.
There are so many beautiful ideas only a ‘Google search’ away. Have you noticed how many amazingly creative people there are out there?!

With the wedding being held in September I believe sunflowers would be beautiful.

I attended a wedding where the bride used jelly jars with wild flowers on the tables and it was amazing.
Speaking of weddings, a friend of mine recently began posting at paper{whites}, (visit her site, you’ll love it). She posted a piece on the wonderful bridesmaid dresses on the market today…and more importantly, you don’t have to break the bank to find them…visit her site for details.

I believe this was in Traditional Home or Veranda some years ago---it's designer Nancy Braithwaite's daughter's wedding.

Hi,
I’ll pass the word along to my friend. I agree, sometimes simple is better with all the fluff of a wedding!
Thank you for visiting.
