It Takes A Village

Oh my gosh – what a wonderful decision to have a dessert buffet in lieu of a huge wedding cake.  The Cupcakery aka Jamie and Kim prepared this amazing table of food for their cousin’s wedding. (Along with a lot more backup!)  It was all so beautiful and tasty I’m sure but I only had eyes for those ganache filled French Macarons.  Truly the best dessert in the world!

This banana pudding actually came in a close second and hello????  Extra points for cuteness.

These bars must have been the richest thing in the world because my husband could not finish his!!! And that fruit tart. Speechless. This is how Jamie and Kim spent the day before the upcoming wedding.

Meanwhile back at the Ranch….

LaVerne and I arranged flowers while Jeff explains why the toilet is running!  Yep, we did over 50 arrangements!

we conditioned the giant “Hulk Hydrangeas”.  They are about 10” in diameter.

Judy and Jeff filled gift bags for the wedding guests.  Had we known each one was getting a pint of vodka the flowers might have been more creative!

Everyone had a job – the guys set up chairs and tables for the next day.  Patty made lunch for the groomsmen and bridesmaids.  And Barbara? She got a pedicure. hahahaha Truly I’m kidding – I thought she and Mike were going to have to be hospitalized they worked so much!

Just a couple of pictures from the wedding.

Here’s two pairs that just steal your heart.  Each grandson is named Grant.  The adorable girl on the right is the bride’s niece and on the left is the groom’s daughter whose name is….Iris.

And look at the brides bouquet.  Irises and purple…the wedding theme.  She wrote vows for her new daughter, Iris, and it was so sweet.

They are a darling couple and we all wish them many years of wedded bliss!

Lastly – here’s some Yaya’s getting their groove on to the Cupid’s Shuffle.

  1. Wowza! What a fantastic wedding that must've been! Everything just looked perfect...as did that weather!!! You guys were so awesome to help your fellow yaya throw that shingdig!! I'm sure she is so appreciative because it was just over the top!

    OH MY and speaking of over the top...that dessert table was nothing short of spectacular!! I think I would have just burrowed my head in the middle of the macaroons and not come up until I'd devoured something of everything they had created! OH MY..how incredible! SOOO much better than a wedding cake!

    I loved the bride's dress and flowers ...so many fabulous special touches!!

    Just wonddering how many drinkies it took to loosen up the yayas for the group dancing? :) Just kidding....I love doing that, too...with or with out liquid assistance!

    Whew..just got home from a full day of celebrating birthday #3 in two weeks!! April is like Christmas for me with so many buddies growing another year older!! I'm just whipped and even though it's late...I'm gonna take a little nap so I can get something done tonight!!

    Have a great PS and a fantastic weekend!! L, Dana

  5. Wow Nancy, I loved all of the 'weddingville' excitement and especially the gorgeous flower arrangements. The huge hydrangea's were amazing. The dessert table was such a wonderful treat and so much hard work. Yum. I loved the way the flowers and greens were arranged around the cake. The wedding set up looked beautiful in the wedding outdoor theme. Beautiful bride and everything looked perfect.
    Congratulations to the families and the bride and groom. It is obvious a lot of love was spread around in so many ways.

    xo, Jeanne
