Real Wedding: Hans and Catherine, II

May 15th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 20 comments

On to the Hans and Catherine’s incredible reception. I love it when a couple infuses their day with personality and charm and they did just that…and so much more.

Here are a few notes from Hans about the day…

We had a piano player and typewriter theme. The actual invites were old player piano rolls, with added maps, menu, directions, and rsvp postcards. The tables were dressed with a typewriter on one end of the table, with a player piano roll fed through them, and the roll ran the length of the table as runners.  We had vintage candelabras and drippy candles mixed with blue glass mason/ball jars and white lillies everywhere.

I mean come on people…does it get any better than this?

  15. Melissa says:

    What are those little favors that have the cows on top?

  16. Hans says:

    The favors are jars of honey, the cows are a particular meal choice, we also had chickens, and vegetables for jar toppers, symbolizing meal choices for the guests. Example: A red cow was warm chevre on toast with petite beef tenderloin, while a blue cow was tossed field greens with coq au vin...

  17. Carleigh says:

    Where did you order the honey from? I love the way they look!

  18. Jessica Lynn says:

    cuuuuuuuuuute shoes! :)

  19. Krystel says:

    I adore your wedding! My fiance has a thing for old Carnegie libraries and I took him to eat here for his birthday one year. We both wish we had the budget to allow us to have ours there. The couple did such a fabulous job and all the little touches, from her amazing shoes to the little cows.

  20. Caroline says:

    The shoes are fabulous! I love the mason jars! A cute idea would have been to have lemonade or drinks out of the mason jar.
