Tambi Howard is a wedding photographer in Houston, Texas.
This past weekend One Fine Day had the privilege to decorate the wedding and reception for an awesome couple...BEAUTIFUL bride from Tyler, Texas.
Dr. Guy Danielson and Sheri Stillwell.
The venue was at Lake Tyler Petroleum Club. I snapped a few photos right before the wedding. I didn't get any photos of the bride and groom, or the 'wedding'. However, the photographer hired was 'David Hill'. When his photos of the wedding are on his website we'll be able to pop over and see them.
( click on David Hill's link in green to see photos)
We decorated with that sweet 'vintage romantic' style...
Using old white shutters and a HUGE twig wreath for the fireplace mantel. We also decorated the mantel with a twig and honeysuckle garland with twinkle lights.
...fresh cream rose petals.
This is where the ceremony took place, in front of the fireplace.
It was beautiful.
Family guest received this special gift. A fresh cream rose tucked in a bed if moss, looks so sweet in the tiny mercury glass crown votive.
A surprise gift for the little girls in the family were rosemary halos.
We dressed all the tables with cream cloths, burlap toppers and a vintage mirror. Each table had a mercury glass compote pedestal bowl filled with roses, hydrangeas, and tulips all in creams and whites. Sprinkled around the compotes were small mercury glass candle votives, and mercury glass cups filled with moss and cream flowers. All flowers were created by~
Wild Iris, Henderson, Texas.Candy table...
Beautiful cake and twig cake topper.
Villa Montez from Tyler, Texas provided the wonderful catered meal.
We had little betta fish in all the glass vases...
....after the wedding the betta fish were gifts for the children at the wedding.
...beautiful Lake Tyler.
One Fine Day~
