I can not believe I am finally putting this on my blog, months have past since the lucky day. The colors the bride had picked were Tiffany Blue and White. So many of the props were painted with that in mind. It took many friends and 2 trailers to bring everything to the Strathern Historical Park in Simi Valley the day of the event. The park does not allow you to decorate the day before. My greensman experience played a big role in decorating with over grown plants to help hide the bases of some of the signs, and to add to the bare dirt areas. Tickled with some silk flowers and we have lush flowering full grown plants.
The bride loved the idea of having an old car deliver her to the aisle. So just as the bridal party was ending their walk down the aisle a 1936 Ford Sedan was rolling up to do just that. The car stopped with the rear door right at aisle entrance, creating an amazing photo op for all the guests.
A regular wedding at a church can get so boring at times especially for the little ones. But a rustic wedding can seem like going to the park for the kids. There are games to play, popcorn to eat, bubbles to blow, stick on tattoos. And then a short sit down ceremony to rest, and then back to the games.
