The first thing on my list for 'the best backyard wedding' was flowers. Anne and I headed out all ready to go with our clippers and made our way to some patches where wild sweet peas were growing. It felt in a way like we were 'pumpkin-ing.' even though I never did do that as part of my high school experience. We went to a flower farm next and also used with Bev had been growing. So beautiful. Finally Friday afternoon and Sunday morning we did the assembling. Friday night after the rehearsal dinner my mom called the father of the bride concerning him with the possibility of deer coming into the tent and eating all the flowers. Thankfully worst case scenario did not happen and the flowers looked beautiful on the tables, decorating the bar, and Sunday at brunch.
