Kathleen Ullman of <a href="http://www.twigandthistle.com/">Twig and Thistle</a> created the mood board that inspired the shoot. Her dream wedding would have a “Farm to Table” theme with handcrafted details, natural elements and pink and sage green florals. <br />

Apart from the pink roses, all the flowers, herbs and rose hips in the bouquet and arrangements came from my own garden.<br />

I used vintage marmalade pots found on Ebay for the two smaller centerpieces and the white metal vase came from a flea market. The Mr & Mrs runner project was inspired by the burlap runners one of my brides made this summer and the herb pot favors seemed a sweet and inexpensive take on the Farm to Table theme.

Our baker fell through at the last minute, so I improvised and decorated simple white cakes from Bainbridge Island’s Town & Country supermarket! Some scattered Secal pears, Black Mission figs and olive branches kept the farm feel a bit more sophisticated. <br />

Perhaps the poster gives it away, but this is no ordinary flea market. This is a market where every booth is styled and decorated to be worthy of a magazine shoot. The ladies who run the show, known as The Junk Tribe, are passionate about vintage shabby chic and picky about which vendors they let in the door. I scored some fabulous new props for next summer’s weddings (library card catalog as seating chart -anyone?), a $20 vintage Christmas tree and some gorgeous holiday trees made from recycled wool sweaters. <br />

Absolutely gorgeous styled shoot from Sonoma and I just love the soft colors and textures juxtaposed with the “bling” in the jewelry and bouquet. Also a great example of using patterned linens without making the table look fussy or dated. <br />
<br />
From jewelry designer <a href="http://noakijewelry.com/">Noaki</a> … <i>The shoot took place at Petaluma’s Gypsy Acres, a charming estate in Sonoma County, California’s lush wine country. Our theme was vintage country and Spring birth . We used lots of fresh new-growth greens and lemon yellows along with touches of vintage robin’s egg blue and pale pinks. Here and there we incorporated bits of vintage recycled materials and re-purposed items to carry the overall romantic mood, such as vintage table cloths, mix-and-match china and chairs and — even a vintage bathtub!</i><br />

Chelsea grew up on an apple farm in Wenatchee, WA (the epicenter of Washington state's apple growing region) and in her senior year of high school she was nominated Apple Blossom Queen (an honor that meant she had to bring her tiara and gown to college with her so that she could be ready to attend a parade at a moment's notice). <br />
<br />
On a weekend trip to Lake Chelan right after Chelsea and Jamie got engaged, Chelsea and I found a pile of vintage apple label postcards in a roadside antique store and inspiration hit. We would design her upcoming Orcas Island wedding to have a country, organic theme based around vintage apple posters. <br />

Chelsea was a very hands-on bride. After I put together a <a href="http://finchandthistle.blogspot.com/2010/02/inspiration-board-jamie-chelsea.html" target="_blank">mood board</a> to help with the design direction, she immediately started scouring the blogs for ideas to make their wedding day special on a budget. She made the burlap table runners herself, spent a weekend sewing pennant flags, collected crates and crates of coveted blue mason jars and vintage bottles and glued lace cutout blue paper onto recycled cans for centerpieces. <br />

Then Chelsea's sister Erica had a *brilliant* idea. She had been to an event for the WA wine commission and seen apples "tattooed" with logos for a sponsor company. We had been tossing the idea around of using apples grown by Chelsea's father as place card holders but this took things to a whole new level. Erica found a small indie sticker company in Seattle and commissioned them to design a small black heart shaped sticker with a C & J cutout in the middle. Two weeks before the apples were to be picked, Chelsea's dad and stepmother stuck the stickers onto the apples while they were still green. Apples turn red right before they need to be picked so the sticker blocked out the sunlight leaving a stencil in green on the red apple. They turned out perfectly! <br />

New York event designer to the stars, Stark is known for his out-of-the-box approach to design. He often takes every-day objects and crafts them into amazing sculpture for such corporate giants as Louis Vuitton, Conde Nast, Target and MOMA.<br />

In part due to the gorgeous setting, in part due to the amazing flowers I was able to get my hands on down in San Francisco (cafe au lait dahlias! persimmons on the branch!) and in part because the bride, one of my closest friends from college, is one of the most stylish people I’ve ever met. This post will have three parts because I just couldn’t narrow down the number of pictures that I wanted to share! <br />
<br />
Jenny and Jeff's wedding took place on Jenny’s grandmother's 350 acre ranch in Sonoma County, just outside of Healdsburg. The ceremony was held on the lawn of the caretaker's cottage overlooking fields ripe with hay and emerald vineyards lining the hillsides in all directions. White flags rippled in the wind, lace patterned lanterns danced from the tree branches and the sun beat down on a crowd anxious to witness the marriage of this long-time couple.<br />

Miss Pickering, as she is more commonly known, is the owner of a “floral emporium” in Stamford and writes daily about her exploits with “the hound.” <br />
<br />
By way of introduction her website states that, <br />
<div align="justify">“When not working Miss P likes to cook and wear slutty shoes. </div><div align="justify">The Hound is the resident shop dog. </div><div align="justify">He likes to greet customers, sleep, and eat roast chicken. </div><div align="justify">He loves Lily of the valley. </div><div align="justify">He hates gerbera.”</div><div align="justify"><br />
</div>Her work is stunning, her wit pronounced and her English-ness undeniable. A daily dose of her blog is sure to amuse and inspire and serves to make this English designer a little less homesick.<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VbxEwhwNGdE/TMIDlXzxZoI/AAAAAAAABNY/njPZvs0MXQI/s1600-h/image%5B4%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="335" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VbxEwhwNGdE/TMIDmeqTrqI/AAAAAAAABNc/GF78Dv0OjHc/image_thumb%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="image" width="472" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VbxEwhwNGdE/TMIDozEj4cI/AAAAAAAABNo/c1HCX9VB3NM/s1600-h/image%5B14%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="323" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_VbxEwhwNGdE/TMIDpoSVSwI/AAAAAAAABNs/U2PJFhQQL34/image_thumb%5B8%5D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="image" width="477" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_VbxEwhwNGdE/TMIDm7IWR7I/AAAAAAAABNg/Vgv-p5J2OT4/s1600-h/image%5B9%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="345" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VbxEwhwNGdE/TMIDnbpXQdI/AAAAAAAABNk/vCQ9wnwVcmw/image_thumb%5B5%5D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" title="image" width="480" /></a> <a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_VbxEwhwNGdE/TMYxAOaCBaI/AAAAAAAABN4/SeoucPiKFN8/s1600-h/image%5B38%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="319" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_VbxEwhwNGdE/TMYxAz2dnCI/AAAAAAAABN8/gRDzGO-6yzk/image_thumb%5B13%5D.png?imgmax=800" style="border: 0px none; display: inline;" title="image" width="478" /></a> <br />

After an unfortunate incident in college involving a large pumpkin and a broken car windshield, I had sworn off that particular squash for life…that is, until I saw these gorgeous pumpkins from Kathleen at <a href="http://www.twigandthistle.com/blog/" target="_blank">Twig and Thistle</a>. I think these would work equally well for Thanksgiving dinner or a holiday party. Click <a href="http://www.twigandthistle.com/blog/2010/10/diy-pumpkin-candle-holders-for-bhg/" target="_blank">here</a> to see more of Kathleen’s fun ideas. <br />

I shared <a href="http://www.twigandthistle.com/blog/2010/10/tt-for-better-homes-gardens-part-iii/">my third project</a> for the Better Homes & Gardens contest yesterday and today I have all the materials and instructions you’ll need to make your own. With just a few simple steps, you can make any foam gourd into a pretty and natural looking fall accessory. Have fun! <br />
<br />
<b>Supplies</b><br />
Styrofoam Pumpkin <br />
Candle <br />
Drill <br />
Hole Saw Attachment for drill (found at hardware stores) <br />
Craft Glue <br />
Glitter <br />
<br />
<b>Instructions </b><br />
Determine the width of the candle and make sure the hole saw is just slightly larger. Remove the stem and locate the center on top of the pumpkin. With the pumpkin firmly secure, center the hole cutting attachment above the pumpkin and slowly drill out the center. It may help to have someone hold the pumpkin steady while you drill. Once center is cut, you’ll need to carve out the foam with a knife. Continue the process until you have desired depth.<br />
Once the hole is cut, coat entire pumpkin in craft glue. Generously cover with colored glitter and let dry. Once glitter is dry and to prevent glitter from flaking off, spray with a bit of hairspray to set. <br />
Use non-drip candles (typically the wide candles don’t) or if you’re using tea-lights, opt for ones that have a plastic or metal cup so that wax doesn’t get into pumpkin. Place candle inside and light!<br />

We got very lucky with the October weather and had a great time working with the “Farm to Table” theme concocted by Kathleen at <a href="http://www.twigandthistle.com/blog/" target="_blank">Twig and Thistle</a>. If you haven’t had a chance to check out <a href="http://nonpareilmag.com/" target="_blank">NonPareil</a> yet, do so immediately! It’s an extremely stylish online magazine filled to the brim with DIY projects for weddings and events. I was thrilled to be part of their invitation-only winter issue and can’t wait to share my behind-the-scenes pictures when the article is published in December. <br />
