Unique Unique Design

In Texas you are always taking a chance on the weather! Last weekend my good friend, Laura, from Dela Design held a wedding in her back yard. It was for her son and his bride. We’ve been having close to record breaking temps here, with the humidity to match. But, the wedding must go on! So, wipe off the sweat and get busy! The trees and bushes were filled with votives, hanging candles, and chandeliers (the groom was responsible for getting most of this up). The flowers for the wedding, tables, wedding party, and all were done that day.  Laura’s very dear friend, Theresa, came and helped with all that and more. I got to help some that day, too. It was fun working with them. Even, though, there is usually some stress that comes with getting everything done on time, by the time the sun set and the lights came on the scene turned to magic.

Laura didn’t have any pics yet of the actual wedding, so what I am posting are a few I took mid-afternoon.  The sun was high and bright, so I really didn’t get many. The yard looked wonderful and since the front was more shaded, that’s where I took most the pics. So, here is a very small sample of the things I could get a picture of that day.

This is a flower bed by her driveway. Notice the votives lining the bed.. There are a few candleliers hanging in the trees, but you’d have to look close to see them.

The path to her front door is lined with hydrangea, ferns, rosemary, and more. The large urns at the front door are vintage concrete pieces purchased in Warrenton, Tx at the huge show down there.

It hadn’t arrived yet when I took this photo, but a beautiful rug was coming for a sitting area out front. The ghost chairs(3 of them) and small table were going on the rug for extra seating.

Hydrangea lining her back patio was used in various floral arrangements.

Up close!

The goose was flying north to The Hamptons for the summer, but stopped in for the ceremony!    Laura actually purchased this from us and we put it high in a tree by where the ceremony took place.  She had on her wedding finery with a wreath for her head and ribbons for her neck

Wish I had pics of the actual ceremony, but I don’t.  Believe me,though, the setting was quite beautiful!

Have a wonderful day!
