something old...something new...something borrowed

Something green. 


Eric and Tara Lynn...
my nephew and his bride...
were married last Thursday at a lovely venue overlooking the lake in the Okanagan Valley...
with their nearest and dearest as their witnesses.
I hear it was most beautiful!

On Saturday...
there was a reception for them here in our neighbourhood.
Family and friends came out to help them celebrate their new beginnings...
as husband and wife.

 The venue happens to be just down the road from 'my front porch'.
In days gone by...I would frequent the location to purchase bedding plants. 
On Saturday...
the greenhouse became a wedding reception hall.


And a lovely one it was!
I'm guessing the transformation took many hours of labour...
and a little creative genius.


It was a fun and casual evening...
and gave us all an opportunity to pass along our best wishes to newlyweds.

And that, my friends...
was the greenhouse tour you were promised for today!

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

  8. A greenhouse is a perfect place for a wedding reception - a new phase of life beginning in a place where plants are begun. It's just beautiful!

  11. What a great idea. There are no lack of greenhouses ..and with our area always needing the back up tent. .it's already covered.
    I can imagine the floor must have had a good sweeping.
