                                                         My Cottage Garden Wedding
~With all of the Wedding chatter these days, I took down my Easter display and made my wedding display~ 

I remember the day like it was yesterday. The day I got married to my best friend, ten years ago this July. With all of this "wedding talk," it's hard for me to not think of our wedding day and how much we loved it!

The view to the right of where we said our vows.

I walked out from the Historic home into the greenest grass. I walked past my family and friends who were sitting in white wooden chairs and made my way to my husband to be who was waiting or me under the maple tree. 

That's me with my step-daughter and niece. Their dresses were so pretty; pale pink and sage green.  I bought them at a boutique in New Hampshire. They held pink roses  that were made into spheres and had a wide pink handle.
Wide white ribbon was at the end of my vail and I wanted that same wide ribbon with for them. I love ribbon!

Inside of the barn where we had our reception. Looked just like this!

The weather was beautiful, it was just all so beautiful! With a kiss we were off and married. After our reception in the old barn under the moonlight, we drove off to Martha's Vineyard.

I made this frame by purchasing a frame at the dollar store, painting it "Lush Foliage", attaching a thin pink ribbon to make a clothesline across and gluing paper flowers to the edges. I added reprinted vintage tags on the line and used a really cute card that I bought, which states at the bottom "In Sweetness and In Sour" On the inside it says, "Pucker Up!" Happy Anniversary.
This summer we are renewing our vows in our backyard among the my husbands beautiful flowers. I'm recreating a tablescape. One that was in the first issue of Flea Market Style. 

We collect heart rocks. All of our rocks are kept in an antique heart shaped ice cream mold
This is sitting on top o the book, Heart Rocks by Josie Iselin Susan Branchs' Love book makes a perfect riser for the scrabble letters which spells out"'DaveAlyssa." Dried lavender from my garden lies on top. Milk glass is all about.

Minus the cow, but I do have a manure spreader across the street, figures! ;)
