My new friends... Succulents

 I admit it...   I used to be afraid of them. They were different than I was used to. They didn't crave Full Sun or Large glasses of water, Like I do. I even smothered a few in the beginning, with Too Much Attention.

 But, as is everything else along this journey, we call Life, I spent some time getting to know them and what they needed to survive and now we are friends.

And oh what they ad to my creations! 

Hillary and Aaron at Gale Vineyards

I'll begin with the bouquet: A romantic, natural combination of cream and white flowers wrapped with burlap and white satin ribbons. This couple had a style that I love.    Nestled in the trees and vines at Gale Vineyards in Durham, CA this couple said "I do!" with a fun, vintage style that was evident in every detail. Bouquet: Durham grown dahlias, garden roses, freesia, roses and spider mums.

I think they like each other ; )

 

 

The Backdrop for the dessert table was ribbons and hearts

The Ladies each chose a dress that suited them best, which added an eclectic feel.
