My favorite stop we made was to a French antique shop, Nicole Maleine Antiques, in Montgomery, Ala. Such a treat! Most of the pieces are available on their Web site but I snapped some favorite shots of my own to share with all of you! I'll have to show what I did purchase at the shop later! Loving the chandeliers above for a rustic barn celebration or under a tent in the French countryside.
Lanterns are so versatile and create such a warm charm -- I like the idea of having them dot the way to the altar for a dusky + woodsy ceremony or having the flower girl and ringbearer carry small ones in place of a traditional basket/pillow. The gothic cathedral-inspired bookstand on the right was so gorgeous {the photo does it no justice} ... wouldn't it be great to hold your guestbook? And then you could keep it post-wedding to hold cookbooks in the kitchen!
I think these were planters but I didn't pay much attention to their actual function - I was too enamored with their intricate carvings. I love the idea of finding pretty antiques like these and re-purposing them for a wedding - they could hold your programs or wedding wands.
Love the idea of placing your bouquet in the vase above {can you make out the sweet angels?} and having a wedding portrait taken in front of that fabulous mirror.
great finds!!
ReplyDeletesuch unique & rustic finds!
ReplyDeleteOoo, well done! I love those little (planter?) boxes. You're right, they would be perfect for holding programs, or letters when you are back home from the wedding.
