Mock Wedding at Historic Shady Lane

Saturday night (March 24, 2012), I had the privilege to participate in a Mock wedding event hosted by Steve & Sue Kohr proprietors of Historic Shady Lane. If you have never visited Historic Shady Lane it is a must. The property is gorgeous and the owners are wonderful people! 

The entire evening was organized by Amy Herwig, owner of Party Belles, a local event planning and designing company. 

The rain poured on us throughout this wonderful evening, but Amy did such a fabulous job organizing all the food, music, and everything together the rain didn’t really matter. I want to tell you about this evening because it was so lovely and fun! If you are getting married or have a special event coming up these are the people to look to. They will make your special day wonderful!!!

Let me start with the decor! Beautiful!!!! That only partially sums it all up! The colors were Black and Cream, in a Vintage theme with plenty of sparkling crystals. The tents were draped with lovely black and cream tulle. Amy and her team hung these magical flower vases and candle holders from every possible location. It made everything sparkle and elegant!

Next the Dresses... Oh my they were fabulous. The Bride’s dress was a gorgeous vintage style and the bridesmaids had their own lovely vintage style dresses to match!!! I only wish I had taken pictures. (Palm to the face!)

The ceremony was also very lovely. It was short and beautiful. Something I would love to have at my own wedding if I were to ever do it all again. 

After the ceremony we enjoyed a fabulous reception with great food and drinks. The cake cutting was wonderful. We all gathered in the greenhouse for this portion of the evening! The cake itself was beautiful and delicious to top it all off. While the evening progressed and eventually wound down, we had the pleasure of listening to some fabulous blues. There were several moments when I forgot about the pouring rain!

So! Who are all these wonderful companies who made this night happen? I made a list below! I will not leave you guessing!! BUT FIRST!!!! Some pictures of the evening!
