Ra and Frith's wedding cont...

The reception was held in a neat old hall.
With wooden floors and lots of room for little feet to run wild.

The tables were dressed with vintage tablecloths.

Lots and lots of beautiful old tablecloths.

And then lots and lots of beautiful old plates.

This is the one that I ate off. Isn't it pretty.



The ladies had handmade felt hearts on their plates.
Some with ribbon to hang.
Some with pins to wear as brooches.



The men-folk had caramels and peppermints.



The children's table had cute vintage handkerchiefs.

Metres of fabric bunting was strung above the tables.

The mismatched pretty name cards came from here.

And at the back of the hall a little cosy spot was set up.

For hanging and chatting.

Many hands put in many hours of work (many many old linens to iron!).

But Frith's hands worked the hardest.

And she did an amazing job bringing it all together.

And it was a beautiful day.

xx congratulations Frith and Ra.

ps. Frith will be visiting here next week with a couple of tutorials for some things she made for the wedding - aye Frith - don't forget.

And by the way you can see more photos here.

ETA - Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any half decent pictures of the beautiful cake. But fortunately our beautiful talented cake making friend Briar captured it and blogged on it here.
