Farmer-Ussery Wedding on August 2, 2009

I just couldn't wait to post our pictures of last Sundays wedding. We are by no means great photographers so please overlook the quality. Hopefully we will get professional ones soon.

I really enjoyed getting to know Krystal. Her family was great too!!! Thank you Krystal & Mike for allowing us to be a part of your special day.

More Pictures of the Landscaping In Process

Here are some updated pictures of the landscape job almost finished.

Updates on Landscaping

The first three pictures where taken last July. This barren hillside has been a thorn in our side aesthetically since we became owners. This is where my love of landscape design gets utilized.

This is off the back porch.

This shot is taken off the veranda towards the pond.
This is looking out towards the ceremony site.

So here is the landscaping work in progress. We have created two sets of rustic stairs with a terraced flower bed in the middle (still in progress here).

This is the way most brides walk out towards the ceremony site. We wanted to make the stairs nice and wide for the times when brides are walked down the aisle by both parents.

No more climbing the bare hill. :)

This picture is taken from the veranda. Another view of the terraced flower beds.

Here is a view of the terraced patio area we are creating. The patio off the deck (where the bar is) will consist of pavers and grass that will taper off into the lawn area. We are planning on another flower bed in the very sunny spot right next to the pond walkway. It is the area that doesn't have green.

Shot of the gazing globe. This bed includes Mutabilis antique rose, columbine, bronze fennel, yarrow, nicotiana, penstemon, thyme, fleabane, lambs ear, hostas, mock orange and sweet olive.

The upper small patio will consist of pavers and river stones.

I will post pictures as everything gets finished up. I am so excited! I hope you are too.

New Chairs.....FINALLY!!!!

YEA...New Chairs! We knew early on that we wanted to get new chairs once we owned the venue. The brown chairs were purchased used several years ago from a local rental company clearing out old stock. They have definitely seen better days. It seemed like ever event we worked a couple of chairs were lost due to breakage. At the end of July, we bit the bullet and ordered 150 new white wooden chairs. So why do I say "FINALLY"? Well, it has been quite an ordeal to get these chairs here. The chairs were scheduled to be here August 5. When they didn't show, we called and emailed to no avail. For the next several weeks, each time we called the company we either got the run around or they didn't answer. We were finally at our breaking point and about to call off the order when they showed up 6 weeks late. I guess it is better late than never! :)
