Today I wanted to share a couple photos, from our daughter's wedding reception, where you can actually see how the "CARDS" banner I made for her was used.
If you missed my original post about making the banner, you can see it here.
Anyway, just in case you may be wondering about the strange surroundings in the background for what was supposed to be a 'garden' wedding and reception.... well... while the wedding turned out to be a beautiful, autumn garden wedding on the farm, the weather did NOT cooperate!!
A cold front had arrived the day before and knocked temperatures from the 70's, down to around 40 for the high.... with the rain not clearing out until just hours before the ceremony! It was very damp, with the wind still blowing strong, so it felt like a huge evap cooler had been turned on us and we were all right in front of it's vent, brrrr!
With the temperature so low, the wind chills were in the low 30's and the guests were wrapped up in their coats and heavy, handmade, old quilts that were passed out to all who wanted to be warmer! Members of the wedding party were nearly frozen before the ceremony was over.... literally teeth were chattering!.... It did make for a funny incident when the vows were being recited through those chattering teeth. We all shared quite a chuckle when the groom tried to speak, as he was facing in to the wind. He was so cold, he could hardly get the words out, LOL!
SO.... there was no way we were all going to enjoy an outdoor reception under those circumstances, let alone keep the food warm! It had to be moved inside the large shop barn... haystacks and all. That's why all the backgrounds in her reception photos have cars and car parts in them, LOL!
Anyway, here's a closer look at her vintage suitcase, card collector and the banner:
