2012 Weddings at Graeme Park

We've just concluded our first full season of wedding rentals here at Graeme Park since the new Open Aire Affairs tent went in back in July of 2011 and the landscaping was improved earlier this spring (see details of the path and plantings here, here, here, and here), so we wanted to share with you some images of the events that were held here.

The season started off in June with the wedding of Angie and Tom, who chose to have their ceremony on the south side of the Keith House by the herb garden.



We don't know if it was deliberate or not, but the wedding party sure looked nice color coordinated with the trim on the house!



At the end of September, Cheryl and Kris were married in front of the waterfall.


Their color pallette was orange and yellow for fall, mixed with pretty peacock blue for the bridesmaids' dresses and groomsmens' vests.


They kept things simple in the tent with burlap wrapped potted mums for table flowers and table linens in traditional fall colors,


but had elaborate and artistically arranged crudite tables in the barnyard during cocktail hour.



Peter and Kate, who were married here in early October, really embraced the rustic setting and incorporated farm antiques around the property to enhance their ceremony, cocktail and reception sites.

The pick-up truck from the family's ancestral farm served as a location for post ceremony photographs:


Simple flowers in collected jars, along with milk caps, corks, votive candles, and small antiques, dressed the tables which were covered in plum and white with burlap runners:




An old ladder served as a staging spot for place cards:


Pumpkins and mums dressed the path to the tent:



This old wheelbarrow full of flowers decorated the entrance to the tent:


Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were staged in the open area between the Keith House and barn:



The bridesmaids walked out of the Keith House and down to the ceremony in the barn yard,


and the bride passed the summer kitchen...

...and the barn on her way to meet her groom.



And finally, the guests danced the night away in the tent.
