We decided to have our wedding at a Bed and Breakfast that was on the water. Since I am from Maryland I wanted to be able to have pictures on the water, but I didn't want to get married on the beach, I think this place worked out perfectly.
This is the ceremony site all set-up before any guests arrived. The ceremony was held outside under the pergola and the reception was held inside a beautiful rustic barn.
The place was so large we had to use golf carts to get from the water to the reception site.
My husband Jason and I did a lot of DIY projects to add special touches to the wedding. Jason made six lanterns, which we sprayed black and placed etched glass inside. I etched each piece of glass with our initials. I think that they turned out great! We hung them from the tree outside of the reception area, where cocktail hour took place.
Here is the tree lit up at night!
I decided to be different and make a wedding menu! We bought a three-pane window and sprayed it with chalk spray paint. I then listed the appetizers, dinner, and dessert options in each of the panes.This menu was set-up right outside the reception area where the cocktail hour was held. We also brought in all of the hay bales, pumpkins, and mums to decorate the Inn.
For the guestbook, i bought an old typewriter and place paper in it for the guests to type their well-wishes to us. We also took photos of our parents and grandparents weddings to display in the table. If you look closely you can get a glimpse of our dessert table.
We had our centerpieces made by a local blown glass artist! Each pumpkin was slightly different and unique. We gave them as gifts to our wedding party. I love the way they turned out! We also had our champagne flutes made out of hand-blown glass to match the decor.
I hope you enjoyed this look into our wedding! Stay tuned for when I share all of the yummy desserts we had to offer. Also, don't forget that our giveaway ends tomorrow, so, enter now if you haven't already!
Congratulation! Everything looks so beautiful. You're a gorgeous bride. Can't wait to see your wedding cake!
