Wedding Decor - Backyard Wedding

I am sorry friends! I had SO much trouble with Blogger today! No matter how I tried to sneak attack it - it would not let me upload photos! So finally, here we are. I just wanted to do a quickie post today. I love me a good outdoor party and this image made me want to throw one immediately! I loved so much about it! The wooden tables and chairs and benches, the piazza lights (I love to call them that and can get it away with it because I am Italian right?) and the colors! Loving the red flowers in the sweet tin. The gorgeous trees and open space! This whole image is made up from simple elements yet when all pulled together it looks amazing and elegant! Happy Wednesday!

Rustic Summer Berry Brights: Pink & Red Wedding Details

The heat was cranked way up out in my neck of the woods today and it reminded me of the warm outdoors - days full of bright red strawberries, pink watermelons and orange sunsets.

I dreamt of a rustic outdoor wedding with barn dancing and happy white lights. Dessert was a pink whoopie pie washed down with a mason jar full of strawberry lemonade. And as I rubbed my dancing feet on the way home from the fun, I clutched my fabulous wedding favor - homemade raspberry jam - and I couldn't wait for tomorrow morning's warm fresh scones.

Today's post is in honor of summer and all of its fabulous bright happiness!

Garden Wedding - Amazing Architectural Elements from Restoration Hardware

I am a big fan of Restoration Hardware - affectionately known as Resto in my family. Today I stumbled across a new line of garden products that would be amazing elements in an outdoor wedding ceremony or reception. Adding any of these pieces would create an elegant ambiance throughout and in some cases, an awesome vintage vibe.

How incredible is this gate? What a stunning ceremony backdrop this would make! They carry different style arches and gates in multiple sizes.

Some of the items below would be beautiful lining the aisle or clustered throughout the lounge area.

And then imagine these vintage or globe shaped lights crisscrossing under the trees over your long reception dinner tables.

I can so easily picture a sweet outdoor affair using all of these fun garden pieces can't you? And then after your wedding day, you can put them in your own backyard to create wedding memories for years to come!
