Weddings with Charactrer and Glamour.

Being invited to be part of a couples special day is a real privilege.  I am so excited to share with you pictures of  two of the weddings that I attended in London.  One wedding was for our very good friends' daughter at the Wokefield Park mansion and the other was my cousin's daughters wedding at the Savoy Hotel in London. 

With the usual England weather of grey skies and chilling temperatures, the wedding décor and venues compensated for the English weather!

What a treat it was to attend a wedding at the grandest and iconic Savoy Hotel with charm and splendour.  It is the first luxury hotel in Britain, which introduced electric lights, electric lifts and bathrooms in most of the lavishly furnished rooms.  It was renovated a few years back to it's original glory and more.

 



What a great way to listen to music while eating.  This Cello player was outstanding, she was invited to play at the Buckingham Palace.

Englands country side venues are classic and never go out of style.  The  wedding ceremony took place in Reading in a beautiful church and the reception in a Mansion House built in the 18th century with so much character.  The scenic country side and the grandeur are breath taking. The wedding was perfectly beautiful.

The tables were named after cocktails...of course Boston rules!

Beautiful patio for cocktails and scenery.

Ever after blog post!

How to begin the post about these inspiring styled weddings. It was a wedding galore summer for our family.  The first wedding featured was in Long Beach, California and the second wedding was in Akron, Ohio.  Both are awe inspiring weddings and décor.  Here are pictures for your eyes.

First the wedding in Long Beach.

As always, I like to stalk houses in the area.  Folks this is Long Beach, these beautiful homes are a few yards from the beach.

Another wedding in Akron, Ohio.  When you have a venue as stunning as this historic Stan Hywet Hall and Garden, the wedding evening just gets a whole new level of gorgeousness. 

 

This was once the home of one of the co-founder of Good Year Tire company.  Besides the spectacular mansion, the gardens and ponds are drool worthy.  Without further due, here are pictures of a classy event.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Travel for a wedding to Milwaukee…the beer country!

My cousins' son got married in July and they hosted the wedding in a unique venue, Mitchell Park Conservatory in Milwaukee.  2014 is the year of the weddings for our family thus travel to places that we never had on a bucket list.  A few pictures from the wedding and local Architecture.

 

Major League Brewery town!  What fun way to drink beer?  Pedal Taverns on the road that you can hop in and hop out!
 

 I always imagined Milwaukee to be an industrial, beer making town, but today we find it’s beauty!  These houses are located on the shores of Lake Michigan.  Looking at these houses and some of the old buildings around town, I realize that Milwaukee is rich in history and culture.   

Imagine the view over Lake Michigan.

 

There is no town that gets left out without me scoping out Interior Design stores, Art Galleries and markets…
