A Beautiful Outdoor Wedding before Superstorm Sandy













The clouds were rolling in but nothing could have kept this wedding from being beautiful. Located at Limespring Farm in Lancaster, PA, every detail was attended to.  The 300+ year old property was spotless.
Laurie (the bride) requested burnt orange flowers since the setting would be outside with beautiful leaves falling all around.  Burnt orange flowers must mean callas and dahlias.  The orange was enhanced in the bridemaid bouquets with funky blue sea holly (thistle) since they would be wearing navy blue. 
Wheat...who would think such a mundane source of food would look so cool at a wedding?
I tied sheaths of wheat along the aisle end chairs and filled antique bottles and jars with clusters of wheat (all locally grown). And the guys wore simple wheat boutonnieres. I also filled jars and bottles with orange flowers and sprigs of garden foliage like fading birch leaves and seedpods from bluebeard. Jesse (the groom) had personally sliced massive tree "cookies" for the table centerpieces. He and Laurie searched flea markets for all of the cool jars and bottles. The mismatched look was great.  Corn filled mason jars held a single votive candle.
Elegant yet country chic ...and recycling at it's best.  Repurposed jars and bottles, repurposed tree that had fallen, repurposed antique windows as the seating chart.
