Yummy Persimmons
People driving past often stop to comment on this strange but beautiful tree we have here at The Oaks. It is a persimmon tree, which looses all its leaves in the Fall and then produces a bright orange fruit that looks a bit like a tomato. From a distance it looks like we have [...]
Winter Projects
As our 2009 wedding season comes to an end it is time for us to scrub the floors, repaint the walls and get started on our new projects for 2010!!! The project I am most excited about is the new garden being planted, just past the bridge, out by the ceremony site. The guests and [...]
Weddings & Rain
The Fall on the Eastern Shore, while bringing fantastic colors, lovely days and brisk evenings, occasionally brings with it some showers as well. So while you may be dreaming of magnificent reds, oranges and yellows perhaps you are a bit wary of some sprinkles (or downpours) that may come along with that. Unfortunately there is [...]
Liz & Dan
You can tell how special a couple are when people come from all over the world to help them celebrate their wedding! Much of Liz’s family flew in all the way from England. While the Dan’s side came up from Louisiana, where his family has a Pecan business. They brought with them yummy chocolate covered [...]
Sam & Matt
Sam and Matt had the essential Eastern Shore wedding, with fabulous Fall colors and a fun day filled with family and friends! On Friday surrounded by twinkling lights they enjoyed an Eastern Shore BBQ rehearsal dinner on the dock. Saturday morning started off rainy, but reports had the weather clearing from 4:00 – 7:00pm and [...]
Amanda & Jason
These two were the sweetest of the sweet and their wedding proved it! First off lets start with the incredible decorations (many of which Amanda made herself)! There was a Fall undertone to the entire wedding and that showed through in the adorable signs for each table, the place-card tree and a congratulations sign as you [...]
Caitlin & Dylan
These two were so obviously, overwhelmingly in love with each other it would have been nauseating except for the fact that they were also completely adorable! No one was able to take their eyes off the newlyweds as they danced their first dance as husband and wife. They had smiles that wouldn’t leave their faces all weekend, [...]
Wine & Love Letter Box
At a recent wedding here I was introduced to a lovely ceremony I had not heard of before (which is somewhat rare for me!). It is called the wine and love letter box. This beautiful ceremony is a unique idea that you can incorporate into your wedding that will keep your guests talking for days. [...]
Lauren & Bob
Sunday was a perfect day to get married and Lauren and Bob deserved it! They are such an adorable couple. Sunday morning the boys played golf at Harbourtowne, while the girls got their hair and makeup done in the cottage. Julie Bakes delivered an adorable (and delicious) cake, with fresh strawberry filling! Shirley of Seasonal [...]
