Inspiration for my wedding table settings...

I hope everyone had an amazing, wonderful holiday.  I also want to send out a big thanks to all the lovely and supportive comments I received after my post about my horse's death.

Time flies and my wedding is less than 5 months away.  We have most of the "big" things squared away.  Now it is time to focus on the fun part - the details.  Below is the inspiration I've gathered for my table settings.

As some of you may know, my wedding will be at the Mathwig Estate Barn.  The look will be rustic, but I want it to be very "clean" rustic.  Not too shabby chic or vintage.

 The table above is probably my favorite.  I found a similar fabric which I'll use for the tables.

In the woods behind my parent's farm there are piles of old glass bottles left from previous tenants.  I have been collecting and cleaning them over time, and I plan on clustering between 8 and 10 of them in various sizes on each table, then fill them peonies (or a peony look-alike)...

Our china is basic white.

Candles are no longer allowed in the barn, so I will be buying A LOT of flameless votives.

Help! I'm trying to identify what flower this is to use in my wedding bouquet!

Any green thumbs or floral experts out there?  I pinned this image a long, long time ago because it is exactly what I want my bouquet to be.  I know the pinks ones are peonies, but does anyone know what the little green ones are?

Could they be baby's breath dyed green?

I thought maybe they were viburnum but the clumps look too small to be viburnum.  Any ideas?

Anyway, it's dreary and damp in Maryland, so here are more gorgeous flowers to brighten up your Friday!

How stunning is this?

A stunning barn for our wedding! My wedding date and venue revealed!

I am so excited to announce that Chris and I have selected a date and venue for our ceremony and reception!

We were originally shooting for a Fall 2013 wedding, but as everything we were interested in was already booked, we are now having our wedding on May 24, 2014 at the Mathwig Estate Event Barn in Thurmont, MD!

I have so many ideas for decorating the space!  I'll be blogging about them as I move through the planning process.  I already have a lot of pinterest boards set up to catalog my ideas.


Here are a couple of photos I took when I view the property in the fall

I am so excited to hear what you guys think - please comment! :)
