A Wedding at Graeme Park: Mary & Scott

Mary and Scott had a church wedding and met their guests at Graeme Park for their reception.

They were able to take advantage of the pretty buildings and landscaping to take some photographs while their guests enjoyed cocktail hour in the barnyard.

Once October dawns, we see lots of bales of straw and mums dressing up the grounds. The addition of their initials was a cute touch.

The Open Aire Affairs wedding tent was decorated in white and cranberry linens, which is a nice change from the expected (but still pretty) oranges and golds.

The centerpieces were candle lanterns, groupings of flowers, and wine bottles with custom labels to serve as the table numbers.

The four tier cake was baked and decorated for them by Lochel's Bakery in Hatboro.

From the cute, whimsical topper ...

... to the elegant monogram, it was just beautiful.

They even had the server and forks personalized.

The area outside the tent was decorated with additional straw and mums. 

It was a beautiful night with an almost full moon for a buffet dinner of ziti Florentine, smashed red potatoes, green beans, pork tenderloin and chicken with apples and walnuts prepared by Catering by Rich and dancing in the Open Aire Affairs tent.

Congratulations Mary and Scott and thank you for choosing Graeme Park for your celebration!

A Wedding at Graeme Park: Jessica & Wayne

We wrapped up wedding season here at Graeme Park with the wedding of Jessica and Wayne. They had a beautiful sunny, although slightly windy, October afternoon to say their vows with the historic Keith House and a beautiful white rose bedecked garden arch (supplied by them) as their backdrop. 

After the ceremony their guests retired to the Open Aire Affairs wedding tent on the property for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres catered by Centre County Caterers of State College, Pennsylvania. After passing the initialed and "I do" pumpkins on the way into the tent, they picked up their place cards from an antique table at the entrance.

Hors d'oeuvres were served along with cocktails at one end of the large tent, leaving plenty of space for seating for their 125 guests at the other end.

The dinner tables were all set with neutral linens and vintage mismatched china and glassware and the buffet had mismatched plates as well to load up with roast turkey, mashed potatoes, several green salads, vegetables, and more.

The head table got an extra punch of color with cranberry colored napkins and glassware.

The cranberry theme was reflected in the centerpieces, which were all unique vessels filled with water, cranberries and floating candles; scattered tea light completed the tables and provided a nice glow throughout the evening. 

The table numbers were printed on framed sheet music, as the groom is a musician. In fact his band played throughout the reception.

The cake and a huge variety of pies were provided by Lochel's Bakery of Hatboro.

When the band finished playing or took a break, a DJ cranked up the tunes and turned on the lights and almost all of the guests were up and dancing.

Congratulations Jessica and Wayne and thanks for choosing Graeme Park to start your life together.
