Last fall I was lucky enough to help out a friend by having her daughter's wedding in the garden at my shop. It was a beautiful wedding, primarily because the couple, Jillian & Matt were so happy and in love - their surroundings really became insignificant.
Since then I have decided to rent out our garden area for small weddings, bridal and baby showers and birthday parties for all ages. Our location is not for everyone - especially since we can only accomodate 60-75 guests. Our garden also has a definite vintage feel. Old doors made a unique backdrop for Jillian & Matt's vows. Galvanized buckets and antique mowers are used throughout the yard for decoration. But roses, lavender, hydrangeas and hostas surround an eighty-year-old Japanese maple tree that takes center stage in our garden. At night white lights outline the yard and fill the trees. It is really a lovely place.
