Kelly and Eric

Posted on: February 8th, 2010 by admin No Comments

Kelly and Eric were married this past November at the arch, which was covered in greenery and fall colored roses at the end of a pathway of fall colored petals.
Awaiting the ceremony to begin, Kelly was captured in some great shots as she was getting ready inside the Mansion in the bridal sweet.
Barton Strings trio began to play as guests took their seats. It was a gorgeous Fall day for a ceremony, as the wedding party took their places.

The bride walked down the aisle with a beautiful bouquet filled with red cox comb, blue thistle, green buttons, green and red hypericum berries, white stephanotis, creamy ranunculus, yellow yarrow, pink riceflower, scabiosa pods, and seeded euchalyptus. A wonderful combination of a variety of flowers, it turned out perfect! The groom’s boutonniere featured a green cymbidium orchid with a tiny accent of red and green hypericum berries and seeded euchalyptus.
The evening went on to a beautiful reception, where guests enjoyed beef tenderloin served table-side, sweet potato and russet potato home fries, salad with Texas pecans and cranberry vinaigrette, halibut, pork burgers, mushroom, greens, and white bean cassoulet, and butternut squash soup served in small cups. The band, Alter Ego, kept people on the dance floor all evening.
The bride’s cake was a simple off-centered squared tiers with layered colors of ribbon. In lieu of a groom’s cake, the couple offered cupcakes that spelled out “Happy Birthday” to honor two of the bride’s cousins’ birthdays, which were also on the wedding day.

Many thanks to Svetlana Photography for these gorgeous images!!

Lauren and Chris

Lauren and Chris. Such a sweet couple, and they had a beautiful October wedding. They were married under the arch, with orange roses and green hanging amaranthus providing a gorgeous backdrop.

A non-traditional couple, Lauren walked with both her parents from the front door of the Mansion to the back of the aisle where she met Chris. The bride and groom walked hand-in-hand the rest of the way down the aisle.
Lauren carried a bouquet of green hydrangeas, cream roses, burgundy scabiosa, seeded euchalyptus, green hanging amaranthus, and looped bear grass and curly willow.
Boutonnieres consisted of spray roses… orange for the groomsmen, cream for the groom…. green hydrangea, looped bear grass and green hanging amaranthus wrapped in satin ribbon. The women wore corsages that were reversible between wrist corsages and pinned-on corsages, so the wearer could choose which they preferred.

A bride for details, Lauren had beautifully-typed cards for the menu items, which were placed next to each dish.
“Pear, Cowgirl Creamery Triple Cream Cheese and Olive Tarts”

“Roasted Squash Bites with Pumpkin Seed Pesto”

The bride and groom had a moment alone in the Mansion after the ceremony to enjoy appetizers and champagne and celebrate their new marriage.

Cute little boxes of muffin mix were the favors for the guests, and they sat atop each napkin at the place setting. Each box had a monogrammed sticker and was hand-tied with satin ribbon.

A one-of-a-kind bridal cake featured a bird’s nest with love birds sitting atop a three-tiered carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. A leaf motive was perfect for the Fall season. The groom’s cake was a chocolate zucchini cake with buttercream icing… how many couples can say there were vegetables in their wedding cake? Honestly though, it was incredibly tasty and not the least bit healthy except for the fact that it was organic.

The couple left the Ballroom in a shower of sparklers. They had so much fun, they turned around and came back for another round. Congratulations Lauren and Chris, we’ll miss you!

Jake Holt—what can we say, but thank you for these wonderful images! Stunning!

Rachel and Lewis had a beautiful brunch wedding on October 4th.
The weather was somewhat “iffy” that day, so they had the ceremony indoors. But it turned out to be a beautiful day for a wedding. The bridal party processed down the aisle to an accordion and the bride had two male attendants, “bridesmen” we called them. They were married under an arch of brown curly willow and green vines.
After the ceremony inside the ballroom, everyone went outside to do a group photograph. The wedding party was able to take lots of pictures outside in the gardens.

The bride carried a bouquet of white roses, pale green hydrangea, white Queen Anne’s lace, and green vines.
The couple offered cheesecake and cupcakes for dessert. They also had a cupcake topper, which was a pokemon action figure. And a twist on the traditional, they offered their guests rose champagne for refreshment. Guest favors were personalized mugs.
The couple left to a grand exit with birdseed tossed at them.

Thanks ever so much to Whitney Lee Photography for these images!!

Breanna and Amit

Breanna and Amit wed each other on a gorgeous, while a bit rainy, October day. The sweet couple said “I do” under a chuppah adorned with purple roses, green hanging amranthus, curly willow, and white tool.
Mazel tov!
Just a few short hours before the ceremony began, a huge completely healthy-looking tree uprooted itself and fell in front of the ballroom covering the zen garden and pathway to the ballroom. All the Barr Mansion staff pitched in to remove it in plenty of time before the guests arrived—you would have never known it happened. The bride and groom remained characteristically cool when they arrived to see the gigantic tree sprawled all over the place—they knew us well enough to know we wouldn’t let anything so much as a tree ruin their wedding day.

The wedding flowers featured bright blue dendrobium orchids, purple roses, and gray dusty miller. A beautifully combination of colors, and a perfect fit for the day.
The evening was enchanting with candles everywhere.

This untraditional couple had very creative wedding cakes. The bride’s cake featured silhouettes of the Beatles, sheet music, and fresh strawberries. And the grooms cake featured a blue pendant surrounded by three yellow triangles with sheet music and a lemon grass border.

Guests dined on food stations of New Bride chicken curry with naan, cheese fondue with cool weather vegetables, shiitake mushroom pizza, baby turkey-feta burgers with smoky aioli, and sesame potato and russet potato home fries. And waiters passed hors d’oeuvres of organic la Quercia prosciutto Americano bruschetta and pear, Cowgirl creamery triple cream cheese and olive tarts.

A beautiful end to a beautiful evening.
