This is my beautiful bride, Alex. Alex held her wedding at The Morningside Inn in Frederick, Maryland.  This venue is honestly a jewel. The inn is secluded on three hundred acres. That is an amazing amount of land.  The venue has a lovely terrace with a gazebo for outdoor weddings. What I found to be its most remarkable feature was the beautiful solarium that brides could use if the weather decided to misbehave.  This indoor wedding location is still amazing with all glass walls that overlook the rolling hills, gazebos and water.  The reception is then held upstairs in a beautiful dinning space that again overlooks the land.

  My brides bouquet was an extraordinary mix of white Hydrangea, champagne Roses, Vendela Roses, Creme De La Creme Roses, and white Freesia.  This was a truly a beautiful combination.

 
  The maids wore butter cream yellow dresses, and the bouquets were so sweet. I used carnations in white and cream. We created a tight clean ball and then added pale yellow spray roses, with the Creme De La Creme Roses. I honestly feel guilty every time I use a carnation now. I have said I hated them for 15 years. I still want to hate them, but I just can't. If designed properly, they are amazing. I wish you could see these bouquets in person, honestly you just want to grab them up.

The next design shows where we added champagne colored carnations into the Maid of Honor's bouquet. The result was just beautiful. It is fun to make Maid of Honor bouquets a little different.

Designer or High-Dollar Debbie created these very full and beautiful centerpieces. I can always count on her to design something truly rich.

The designs included white Hydrangea, yellow Spray Roses, Creme de la Creme Roses, Vendela Roses, the white and pale yellow carnations and peach Spray Roses.

  We alternated glass cylinder vases for half of the tables. I actually am posting this picture because if you look between the columns you can see my husband being obnoxious.  He came along on this delivery; the wedding industry is not his favorite past time, so he gets a little bored. To entertain himself he decided to ruin this picture.  Due to his ridiculous behavior, I ensured him he would be blogged. That will teach him!!!!

  Here is the lovely sun-room. This is the back up location for rainy days. I have to tell you I was sick on my way to this delivery. The rain was just not going to let up, and I knew my bride wanted her outdoor ceremony. I had no idea the Morningside Inn had a back up plan like this. When I saw the room, I was just completely relieved.  

 

The cake was created by my bride's friend and pastry chef Liz who also works for RSVP catering.

 

  This arrangement was created for the entrance and place-card area.  The whole wedding was just so beautiful.  When I make these posts, I am always so very sorry that you can't see the wedding in person. My photography leaves a lot unsaid.
