Early in the morning I donned my black slacks, comfortable shoes, white shirt, pearls
(I knew she'd be wearing hers) and headed over to a friend's house where we were going to
celebrate a wedding. We put matching aprons over our black and white
and set out to give a bridal brunch on the morning of the big day.
What a sight met my eyes. This friend can really set a pretty table.
The flowers alone about took my breath away.
And it was plain fun to serve the beautiful bride, her bridal party and family members.
I always wanted to be a waitress, at least for a day,
and run a B and B for another day …
so I enjoy when I don't have to sit at the table but can just focus on serving.
We had small tables in the living room since there were 22.
Can you believe these chair covers for a song from the store with the red circle?
Maybe my biggest compliment is that someone
thought we were caterers.
I know what you mean about serving and being the hostess at the same time! I'm better at the former, so would have thoroughly enjoyed serving the bridal party and family along side you.
ReplyDeleteDo you travel? Lovely setting. I think the flowers are spectacular!!
ReplyDeleteBest,

Sounds like a fun day! What a great way to serve.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun to be on the serving side to see the enjoyment of those partaking.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you after my knee surgery this morning Dotsie, piece of cake compared to the pain and rehab you endured.
It will be nice to walk without a limp again, it has played havoc with my hip.
Beautiful, beautiful flowers and what a fun event to serve others. Fun to be thought of as caterers, too.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful - what a lovely day for the wedding party.Those hydrangeas are STUNNING.
ReplyDeleteThe table is just lovely, Dotsie! It sounds like you and your friends have done this before. Professional down to the black and white and then pearls. ♥
ReplyDeleteStunning. Both the rooms/flowers and your talent with a camera. So crisp and beautiful. Wish I could have seen you. Bet you were cute. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful setting and the flowers are gorgeous! Everything looks like Spring! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to spend a morning! I'm glad I stopped by your blog this evening.
ReplyDeleteWell done! The tables were really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! The tables were beautiful! I am sure that the bride and her family and friends will remember the special treatment they received, for a very long time to come.
ReplyDeleteIf I had seen those chair covers, I would have snatched up a bunch!

How pretty that table is.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is a beautiful table! What fun you had being in the serving role. I always liked the idea of running a B&B also... maybe just a day or two. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful table and what a special day you provided for the bride and her family.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,

What a lovely bridal brunch setting! The hydrangea centerpieces are beautiful! What foods did you make?
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous table setting for such a special occasion. I love the hydrangeas down the table, and the table and chairs are beautiful too. I enjoy serving (playing waitress) if I don't have to do the food prep and clean-up. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the elegant bridal table. The hydrangea bouquets are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDotsie, you two COULD be caterers. Such a lovely table and the hydrangeas are just PERFECT for a bridal brunch. This was a very blessed bride by your loving service. =) I love the finish on your friend's table and the chairs; do you know where she might have found them? ;) blessings ~ tanna
