ALL HALLOWS EVE WEDDING

Stoney Creek Farm in Boonsboro, Maryland is a perfect bucolic setting for a fall wedding but take it up a notch and do it on Halloween day with costumes and faeries and you've got an unforgettable event. Flowers, wands, etc. by En Masse. Photography by Scott Church. I know it took many hands to put this together - more than we can credit here. It was beautiful and extraordinary. Congratulations Jason and Heather - Happy Ever After!

PAPER TISSUE POM POMS - We're NOT Martha

I don't consider myself a craftsperson and this proved it. Looks easy, right? I was happy to help our bride with it and said so. But there was a lesson to be learned and that is that I didn't truly know what I was doing and had to resort to directions. Found them online and with the help of two other people got the task down to 30 minutes per pom (BTW these are the size of small beach balls). Beware the sublimely EASY look of these little buggers. But I gotta admit, they're fabulous once finished. (Note to self: charge a little more next time.)

SUNFLOWER CENTERS

Can't bear to toss them...so they get used again! Beautiful beautiful sunflower centers.

BEADED BOUQUETS

Basia Zarzycka of London created and designed this delightful bouquet. It's not inexpensive, but speaking of lasting forever...

CLEVER CLEVER RECESSION BRIDE

Mason jars never really went out of style even though they get relegated to the top shelf in the grocery store. When it's time to get married, more people than you would imagine remember these containers with fondness. Also, they're REALLY INEXPENSIVE. http://tinyurl.com/mlj5nb
