Happily ever after started in the rolling hills of the Brandywine Valley
at The Sweetwater Farm for one of our favorite couples.
It was a perfect day for a wedding and the perfect venue for this casual rustic wedding.
JPG Photography was behind the lens to capture all the moments.

The bride carried a bouquet designed with a luscious mixture of hydrangea, spray roses, fressia, lisianthus and scabiso. The bridesmaids carried lush bouquets of
purple hydrangea, lisianthus, fressia and limonium flowers.

It was a spectacular day!
Guests followed a path of garden stakes designed with brightly colored
grumphrema, zinna and cockscomb that led them to the cocktail reception tent.

During the cocktail hour, guests tossed shiny pennies into the well
with wishes for the newlyweds.

Guests lounged on the lawn sipping lemonade and specialty drinks
served from the farmers market inspired martini bar.

Countless touches such as chalk board menu boards placed inside
farm fresh wildflower arrangements celebrated the couples relaxed atmosphere
they wanted for their family and friends.

The sun was setting and it was time to move inside to the main reception.
Clothes pins held placecards and inverted bundles of blooms
from a simple line of kitchen twine.

A green and white floral dinner plate was place on a woven rattan charger.
Bundles of lavender, statice and veronica were gently tucked into
an exquisite hemstich linen napkin. In lieu of a favor,
the couple made a donation to Cradles to Crayons.

What a difference a chair makes. The ladder back chairs completed the look for the guest tables. A rustic lantern was placed in the center of each guest table and surrounded by collections of wild flowers designed in various apothecary and mason jars.

More amazing details!
The distressed wood cake stand was designed with a soldered heart
and arrow inscribed with the couples initials…a wonderful keepsake for them.

The soaring ceilings of the newly renovated 1750′s bank barn and the twinkling string lights provided an incredible atmosphere for dinner and dancing.

We hope you have enjoyed these images as much as we have.

TableArt loves putting extra special touches in the details of every event.
The details of this wedding, elegantly captured by Susan Beard Designs
were simply beautiful.

The details of the laser cut program created by Two Paper Dolls was especially extraordinary and set the tone for more amazing details to come during this intimate day time wedding.

A garden fresh bouquet of peonies, garden roses, and ranunculus.

What a fun, fabulous image of the Bride’s shoes!

Farm fresh fruit and herbs were elegantly presented in zinc containers.

The cucumber slice swirling inside a glass water bottle was an extraordinary detail.

A custom designed white linen tablecloth dressed the 40 foot long feast table.

Fabulous peonies, garden roses, yarrow, hydrangea, and billy balls looked simply beautiful perfectly aligned down the center of the table.

A raspberry peony bloom that matched the floral detail on the vintage china was placed at each guests place setting. An additional special touch was the perfectly rolled raw silk napkins adorned with a Simon Pearce basil leaf pewter napkin ring.

Candlelight provided by silver candleabras and vintage silver candlesticks in the day time
is a wonderful way to provide unexpected romantic atmosphere.

The bride and groom loved the simple elegance of a long feast table and we did too!

Elegant burlap farm bags containing homemade basil oil, the Simon Pearce napkin ring, and a thank you note were provided for each guest to take home.

We love putting together all the details for this intimate day time wedding.
Many thanks to Susan Beard Design for capturing the details
and to Two Paper Dolls for amazing paper details.

We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with the highly renowned photographer
Susan Beard on an intimate wedding held at a privately owned farm.
Susan Beard began her studio in 1990 and continues to exhibit
her passion and innovation with her extraordinary vision.

Susan viewed the compositions designed by TableArt as reminiscent of classic Renaissance still life’s. Susan was insprired by the heavy, oil based brush stokes of artists Monet and Manet. She applied this vision with her modern, mixed media photographic technique.

The results can be seen below in these truly beautiful pieces of art. We thought it would be interesting share with you the a few of the Rennaissance Master works that are somewhat similar to the compositions created for this very special wedding.

Thank You Susan!
