Brunch in the Garden

Today I held a bridal brunch in my garden for my daughter's best friend... I am too tired to get very creative with this post, but wanted to share a few pictures I took before the guest arrived.
We could not have ask for a prettier day, cool and just a bit of wind.

This is where we put the gifts ... mine, and my girls were the only ones there at the time.


A touch of blue is always so wonderful outside . . .



I had the guys carry my dining room table outside and it was filled with lots of goodies . . . Everyone had a great time, but I am getting too old for all this work ! I hired someone to take pictures for the bride, so I may share some of hers at a later time with the food and guest .

  2. Hey linda, gf, you don't know how tired I am...if you look close you will see that the chairs are not all the same. The light blue stay outside in my pool house, 10 teal came from inside my house, 4 lighter teal are my mothers. Thanks for the sweet comment, how's that bedroom coming along?

  9. Oh Vicky, i sure hope you are now getting some rest, after all this work you must be exhausted. Im sure the guest must have enjoyed this brunch in such a beautiful setting. Your yard is like a little piece of heaven, i could see myself relaxing there for hours with my magazines. You did a fantastic job, now just relax g/f.

  10. oh my, what a beautiful yard you have. I adore the shelter by the pool. I'm quite envious of those whose back yards are open and free...not looking into their neighbors houses and garages.

    I imagine all had a lovely time at your party. I wish I had been invited too ;)

  23. What a beautiful setting . . . and I had the same question about chairs -- although I realized that some were different but that many blue chairs -- I was IMPRESSED! Outside chairs are always an issue -- you can use any table with a cloth but the chairs ... ah, the chairs . . and yours are perfect for a garden meal.

  29. I forgot to ask about the BLUE chairs. What are you doing with BLUE chairs, much less so many of them? I thought you didn't like the color blue. They do look so pretty! laurie
