My good friend Marie was hosting a backyard dinner for the wedding party of her son Will who would be married the next day. As mentioned before, Marie and I do a swap- she does all my sewing/mending and I keep the pots on her deck updated for the seasons. She had 9 large cobalt blue pots in her backyard left over from her daughters wedding some years ago that needed some attention to spruce up the back yard for the BBQ. I was anxious to help out. She also asked that I decorate with some of my garden art, which was convenient because I had a lot in the cobalt blue color.
After the event, I had Jared go back with me to take pictures before I took all my totems and ceramic flowers home. Unfortunately her back yard is so shady the dark blue items didn't really show up and we did not get good pictures. Even the decent ones Jared was able to take things were in half sun/half shade which makes photographing difficult.
It is always fun to decorate for weddings. Our family has often talked of starting a family business as wedding planners. Between all of us, we have a lot of expertise. Rachel being a Home Ec major and teacher is an expert in all things cooking, sewing and décor design. Plus she worked in a bridal shop for some time so she can measure you for a tux or press your wedding dress with ease. Becca with her major in communications with an emphasis in graphic design has already designed wedding invitations for friends. Plus she has worked for New York Cupcakes, baking and decorating all those cupcakes! She and I have done all the decorating for several friends wedding receptions which turned out well. I enjoy the decorating for receptions, and Jared has a quality camera, taken many photography classes and has a great eye. He is always my go to guy when I want good pictures of something. With Chuck's sales and marketing background he ought to be able to get this enterprise off the ground. None of us are in a position where we want to start this business yet, it is consideration for the future when we are all living close to one another and ready to make a career change.
