What a beautiful day! There's nothing quite like a wine country wedding.  Here are some of my favorite details from their wedding:

:: table place cards were pumpkins with tags attached [i heart fall] :: cocktail hour featured comfort food appetizers [fried macaroni and cheese balls, elegant mini corndog skewers, tiny sliders] :: aisle was covered with white rose petals, and lined with eclectic gourds and pumpkins :: mercury, amber, and antique mismatching glass vases made up their centerpieces [with artichokes, succulents, fall leaves, and orangey flowers enclosed - GORGEOUS.] :: lisa found most of her favorite little details on etsy.com [way to support the little people!] :: bridesmaids gifts were handmade purses [also from etsy] that represented each bridesmaid's personality, chosen by the bride :: orange + teal/seafoam green color scheme. GENIUS. :: going away treat for the guests = warm donut holes with cartons of milk :: table numbers were little chalkboard signs hung on the necks of empty wine bottles ::

Using antique windows and doors is the new way to bring elegance to your wedding en plein aire.

Function for your fête:
Write menus on windowpanes with white markers :: paint a door with chalkboard paint and use chalk to inscribe directions to ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour :: have a fence and window combination frame your altar or dining area :: calligraph table assignments in each pane :: use a large framed antique window as a guestbook, with an engagement picture mounted in the middle::

So buy some sandpaper and get to work!  If you can find some cool windows and fences, grab a paintbrush and get to whitewashing.  Think of it as a bonding experience between you and your soon-to-be-mister.
