Hankies and Tags

I love the vintage simplicity of this winter wedding held at an art gallery in Vermont. The bride envisioned "a snow-filled night with candles, ethereal flowers, and Christmas lights." She gave out vintage hankies with a typed tag that said, "Keep your eyes dry and your heart warm."

Garden



Garden Ideas from this Style Me Pretty wedding: 1) A meal including an amuse bouche, a cheese course, wine pairings with each of the 5 courses, and a croquembouche wedding cake. 2) Vintage handkerchief collected from various antique stores which were displayed at the ceremony site, inviting guests to take one for “Tears of Joy”. 3) The bridesmaids’ gifts were Lauren Merkin bags, packaged to include flower-bloom combs that the bride had designed for them on etsy.com by Beetle and Bloom. 4) For the ‘party favors’, silver mint julep cups filled with flowers for “Madmoiselles” and miniature bottles of Pastis for “Messieurs”. Each julep cup carried either tea roses, bunches of lavender, chartreuse roses, etc… 5) Honey Wheat bread baked into small clay flowerpots and served with pink-salted butter.
