On a sunny Sunday we gathered...


I picked Jude the Obscure roses from our Humble Bungalow Garden
for the party.
Popped them in an icy modernist vase from Finland.

Picked some limelight hydrangeas for the centrepiece in a heritage tea house
set them on the table in a vintage enamel jug
placed the photograph in front
waited for the guests to arrive.

Sunday was memorable
as it was a celebration for the newlyweds.


a lovely venue 
in the garden of dear friends 
a vast green lawn
magnificent perennial borders


vintage lamps and lighting
with views to the garden beyond...


wicker chairs
plump cushions


colourful bunting strung from the rafters

food 
family
friends
boccee ball
children running about
blowing bubbles
laughter
conversation



The lovely couple...
Darling daughter and our son in law...
welcome to the family!

Feeling such gratitude and joy...
spending time with family 
there is no better way that I know of to feel the beauty of love.

~ Be Well and Be Kind ~
