A wedding at home--but not in the house!

The bride had definite views on what was not to appear: no lace, red carpets, formal flowers, or crisp white linen. And furthermore, no hippie, Bohemian or gypsy themes, the event team says.

Meanwhile, the family wanted a luxurious wedding in warm and cozy surroundings--the kind of atmosphere that their social circle would expect--a wedding "at home" but without going inside their house.

Ceremony on the lawn

Guests arrived by coach direct to the ceremony lawn and the white stretch tent venue.

Roses from the garden

Wooden chairs were used to give a less formal look and decorated with delicate dusty pink roses from the gardens.

Big-time installation

The event team oversaw three big tent structures, 10 pagodas, thousands of fairy lights, 1,500 feet of festoon lighting, 60 storm lamps, two grand pianos, five bands, six golf buggies, three restroom blocks and four bars.
