Pumpkins for Weddings? Yes!

Two years ago late October my daughter Jenny had a destination wedding of sorts...she and Nate were married in Brainerd, Minnesota and had their reception at Sherwood Forest the fine dining restaurant owned by GrandView Lodge. Trying to be objective of course, everything was perfect and the attention to detail with both food, ambiance and service we could not have asked for a better experience

We used white pumpkins consistently through out the design in both the ceremony at the very formal St. Francis Catholic Church and at the reception at the very rustic but elegant setting of Sherwood Forest. When the weekend was over we took the pumpkins home, carved them and used again for Halloween pumpkins just a few days later. Who says jack-o-lanterns have to be orange? I have to mention Jenny and Nate's wedding was my first experience with Biff Ulm of Vada Photography and, as anyone who knows me, will not be my last.
