Simply beautiful...

Well, Bethany and Isaac wanted the day to be special, but simple. So, there weren't a lot of decorations, but what they did have was very nice. Besides the beautiful gardens, the only added decoration at the ceremony was the unity candle:  

Isaac and Bethany made the two beeswax taper candles together on one of their first dates at a historic "Rendezvous" event.

 I know there were several people who came along side them and had a part in making the day beautiful...and while I don't know them all, we're all very thankful for those who had a hand in making the day special. The flowers were amazing...there were beautiful arrangements all over the house and patio.  Here are just a few:  

 

It was a cake and tea reception...

And Bethany determined that if it was going to be a cake reception--it was going to be good cake.

And it was amazing cake!

(The cakes were from Daube's bakery in Rochester)

Let's see if I can remember...

There was white cake with raspberry filling,

chocolate hazelnut,

lemon torte with blackberry filling,

and my personal favorite, chocolate carrot cake.

Mmm...

The house with all of its history and antiques was a perfectly fitting atmosphere for a cake and tea reception.

I love old houses...if only all those walls could talk...

If they could, they would now have one more story to tell.
