.Celebrating in a Garden.

Yesterday was an extra special day.  Although Ty & Sam were married in Sydney a few weeks ago, they left straight for a honeymoon to Fiji and celebrated with their family and friends in Tasmania last night.  I know it has been said before, but Sam is the PERFECT addition to our family.  And she certainly knows how to pull off an absolutely delightful garden party, complete with floral Laura Ashley gumboots and red+white paper straws.  This girl has a certain classic-vintage-airy-style about her that I love.  The gardens were divine, the company was lovely and the weather couldn't have been more obliging.  Let the pictures tell the story...

Hi, where can you buy those great drinking jars from? I've been searching everywhere

make it perfect said...

@Anonymous...drinking cups/jars were all washed and sterilised glass jars from the kitchen/pantry.
big jars in the ice holding the drinks were from Kmart/Woolworths :)
