Horse Lovers…Heather & Erik’s Wedding!

Heather-our star bride
Heather-reaching for the stars!

Horse lovers Heather & Erik found our Red Horse Barn & Newcastle Wedding Gardens to be the ideal place to reflect their style!  Our historic estate was the perfect backdrop for their celebration.  They did their engagement photos on their horses & then displayed those beautiful images in our lobby as guests entered their reception.   I incorporated my saddle & western chaps & some of our “horse” items into a fun display to add a “kick of cowboy” to their entry.

They collected antique horse shoes to provide as the favors to their guests which we incorporated into their tablescapes.  They also found antique photos of horses which were displayed on their tables.

Our antique Amish barn star drew Heather to reach to the sky for a stunning photo by Jeff Sharpe of Sharpe Photographers!

Of course we had to have Nevada City Carriage Company provide their stunning white carriage to pick up Heather & surprise their guests with her entry to the wedding gardens!  The beautiful dapple gray Percheron draft horse “Patricia” was Heather’s request for her wedding day…they even got to share a sweet kiss!

BLACK & WHITE never goes out of style!

Stephanie~Sassy, Sweet & Chic in Black & White!

Check out these results that prove how chic black & white can be…  One of our recent brides; the beautiful Stephanie looked stunning in her elegant white gown accented by a black satin sash.  We carried it further & used one of my favorite linens for her reception in our Red Horse Barn.  The Black & White Baroque table linens bring an elegant yet fun look to dress the tables.  Stephanie loves red so we added a Scarlet Lamour napkin along with clusters of deep red rose petals from Visual Impact Design.  But…any color can pair with these linens to coordinate with many looks!

Stephanie’s cupcakes displayed on our vintage stand nestled in red rose petals…

Side Note…One of my favorite clothing stores; White House/Black Market has just launched a new bridal line.  From gowns to bridesmaid dresses.  They feature hip & flattering clothing that can be worn by younger gals to moms & everyone looks stylish…check them out for ideas.  They have stores in our area & you can also buy on line.  You can never go wrong with black cocktail dresses for your bridesmaids at any time of year…and they will thank you for it!   Each of your ladies can select her own dress to suit her style & shape & she really can wear it again!

Would you like to have your dog in your wedding?

They traded in all of the bridal party for their best friend…their sweet dog!

If you have ever considered having your “best friend” in your wedding, Newcastle Wedding Gardens is the place for you!  We welcome your dog to be in your ceremony!  Dressed in their bow tie or collar with fresh flowers, they may just steal the show…  Just think, no deciding who your best friends are, no bridesmaids dresses or tuxes to select… Unique & Adorable!  Of course, your friends can also be involved in walking your dog up the aisle!   

All Tasha had to do was pick out Chibby’s bow tie!

Why not have your dog in your wedding!
