On one of the warmest January days I’ve ever experienced in the Northeast, Neal and I found the location for our wedding ceremony. The grounds are just perfect, and we’ll be able to invite more than the seven people we would have been limited to at Smith College. We’ll be married next to a stand of old lilac trees, one of my favorites.
Now to decide on a restaurant for a post-ceremony brunch. Next: plan the summer party celebration.
Oh it’s absolutely beautiful!
Wow, it’s going to be amazing! And lilac trees, beautiful and so lovely to smell. How exciting for you!
I agree, absolutely beautiful! My sister’s in-law’s live in the area and have for forever, do you want me to ask about good restaurants?
Congratulations on finding a great spot! Lilacs are lovely and should you pick a lavender colored (I think that you would look fabulous in lavender)dress then you’ll be color coordinated with your background. I made an Organized Elf button. I don’t know if this will work or if it’s too big, etc. I’ll send you a link to its location. Cheers.
Oooooh, that looks beautiful! Congratulations on finding such a beautiful location. Lilacs are so lovely and heavenly scented.
What a beautiful place to be wed. 🙂
What a scenic backdrop for your wedding! I’m absolutely in love with it!!!
WOW! and lilacs are my favorite- i’m hoping our wedding hits prime lilac season so they can be in my bouquet.
happy new year!
Congratulations on finding the spot. That is a big check off on the to do list!
It looks like a lovely spot. Do you remmeber Julia Robert’s character’s wedding colors in Steel Magnolias? Blush and bashful(pink and pink). My cousin wore a wedding dress last summer in the color blush(a very soft pink). I admit I teased her about the Steel Magnolias thing but she looked lovely in the color and her bridesmaids wore chocolate brown-they all looked fantastic!
Yeah!! How wonderful it looks.
What a lovely spot! I, too, got married outside.

It is worth all of the stress over the weather to be outside with the beauty of nature all around you on such a special day. Congratulations again!
What a fabulous location! I’m sure you’ll have a day to remember forever. Thanks for organising the swap too!
