THIS should be interesting I thought. We left a few hours early, I had heard there was a consignment shop where a woman (she's some kind of psychic, Linda Evans used to live here and she was associated with this woman) who had gained a lot of weight and had all her neato clothes on consignment close by where the wedding was being held in a little town. Of course I didn't know the name of the shop, just a mention from a friend. The only place we managed to find was a bakery haha.
Got to the wedding locale, passed lots of people on their bikes, and hunters. Interesting combo, right? I'm thinking we're going to this place in the middle of nowhere, and we'll be shot.
After missing a few of the exits and slamming on the brakes a few times, we found the wedding balloons marking the site. Drove down a rocky rugged road to find....

I need to loosen up more, go with the flow, not be such a crotchedy old lady LOL....
This was the coolest wedding ever!!!
Nestled down in a gorge, there was a river on one side, and beautiful waterfalls on the other, there was a private park, and a huge party house that looked like an open cabin. Lots of seating, they had a bar, and a roaring fire going (it was cool outside). The wedding was set up facing the waterfalls. The white satin walking area for the wedding party was dotted with pumpkins, the first floral arrangements were huge pumpkins carved out inside to hold beautiful fall floral arrangements.
Bride's bouquet was all fall flowers, the attendants wore brown satin ballroom skirts with beige sweaters (looked like comfy cashmere) and shawls. They wore boots too !
Bride came down in a golf cart...hehe...it was pretty steep from the top of the hill down to the bottom where the wedding was.
Anyway---it was a terrific day, about 100 people, they bbq'd beef tenderloin, served it with scallopped potatoes, rolls and salad with nuts and fruit and blue cheese. For "favors", they had jars of homemade jam with each couples name on one.
Just too neat and cute for words. Lovely day :o)

The bride and her Mom had found a material store that was going out of business so they got the perfect fall colors (orangeish) to make buffet table sized long tablecloths, and they also made individual matching napkins for everyone. I'm amazed at all the work they went through.

Now that's a unique wedding!
