Hostess With The Mostess

A couple of months ago my beautiful sister and her handsome fiance had an amazing wedding on a gorgeous sunny June day.

The reception for the couple's parents and siblings was held in my garden and it was a homemade affair from start to finish. My obsession of making things pretty, coupled with the fact that I would do anything for my family, meant that I was able to talk them into letting me make the invitations, the table setting, the buffet decorations, the guest book set up, a photo booth of sorts, and baking for the dessert buffet. I also took photographs. Go right ahead and call me crazy! LOL!

So the idea was to do a kind of modern whimsy in kraft, red and black & white, and with stripes and roses in the center of the whole theme.
