The table centerpieces. The newest color schemes for weddings are using orange and yellow predominantly, and sometimes in mixtures with other colors as well. This was Mel Day's wedding (Dogwood Tree Florals).
Look at these giant irises. I could hardly believe they were growing so well in October. Each blossom was about 5-6" tall.
This is Ayr Mount, an historic home in Hillsborough, NC., built in 1815.
Here is the chuppah that the groom made for the wedding. Their families and friends each decorated a square for the chuppah quilt and then the squares were joined together and edged with lace. It will make a nice keepsake for the couple.
These photos are from the house brochure. I took a few photos inside, until the caretaker told me they weren't allowed due to insurance restrictions. It is beautifully decorated in furnishings from the period during which the home was built.

This view was looking from the back of the house. Our trees are just beginning to show some color changes.
If you'd like to know more about this and other historic homes, read Adventures with Old Houses by Richard Jenrette (2000).

Does anyone else find it amusing that "Joe the plumber" is not named Joe (it's Sam) and he isn't licensed as a plumber in Ohio? And he grosses nowhere near $250k? He is probably wishing that his 15 minutes of fame would be over in five minutes, since the news reported that he has tax troubles.
NOTE: Sometime this week, Imagine will reach 100,000 hits. I hope you'll help me celebrate!

What a lovely site for a lovely wedding!!!
Fabulous Irises!!!!!!!
Poor Joe! The only plumbers who make $250K in Ohio own their companies.
I wouldn't miss your party, Judy!
Beautiful setting for a wedding! WOW!
Ha! "Joe" may want to go hide under the "sixpack" now!
I had heard that "Joe" did not gross the 250K but I didn't know that he wasn't a Joe.
Sounds like Joe was a put up plant (by ???) to my Canadian ears and eyes.
Bear((( )))
Beautiful setting....perfect Fall wedding Judy. Those colors are what I love.
Yea, looks like Joe is really a Sam. Hope he didn't plan on any privacy for the next few weeks....
What on earth are those boxes in the comment above. Nothing rude I trust?
That's a fairy tale place for wedding. I haven't heard of Chuppahs before but the quilt is a lovely idea.
I watched excerpts from the confrontation between the political antagonists and found it very interesting. Hope all goes well for you.
Lovely!
And yes, I thought the whole Joe the Plumber thing was very odd given the facts about Sam. Very odd indeed!
Congrats on 100,000?
What's your secret?
Sounds like the exchange between Joe and O struck a big nerve.
I'd rather gaze at the beauty of the flowers.
Beautiful pictures and flowers. How about "Joe" - he had a tax lien placed on his house last year for $1182. No way is this guy in a poistion to buy a business that Nets/grosses (he didn't say) a year. My late husband was a plumber/pipefitter and his best year (only one) was $60K. We averaged $35-$40K.
The centerpieces are stunning.
I had no idea irises bloomed in the fall. Amazing!
Yeah, that Joe thing. What a crock.
Beautiful flowers and a lovely wedding spot.
I think McCain should have egg on his face over his signature debate story about Joe the plumber; instead, he is talking it up on the stump. The man has no shame.
Beautiful wedding. That type of fall foliage is one reason we chose October to get married. (well, that and we love Halloween!).
As usual beautiful pics.....let me know when the party is....i need a good stiff drink!
I just planted some ever-blooming or re-blooming Irises. That should be fun to see next year.
I am guessing that the stump comments on 'Joe' the Plumber will go to the same places as the comments on the Bridge to Nowhere.
Oh! Gorgeous flowers!! The blog header especially!! Goes perfect with the green. :)
Thanks again for the cake site. It got used this week! (in progress still)
~S :)
beautiful place, but when i saw those white chairs I thought it'd make a good set for the graveyard scene in "Our Town"
Lovely photos as usual Judy.
I hope I bring you nearer the magic number!
I love that orangey color of the flowers. As for Joe , I am always amazed how people out themselves out there on a tv camera. I woul run the other way. Even dumber the people who get interviewed on 60 Minutes. THey never come out looking good.
What a BEAUTIFUL Homemade Chuppsh...! And as you said, such a special Keepsahe for the couple....
BEAUTIFUL place for a Wedding, too!
And this home....Another special Historical House being rightfully presereved and yet used, too...!
GREAT!
The centerpieces are just beautiful. I love orange and yellow, they're such cheerful colours.
And those irises! Devine.
Our gardens are over for the season - too bad. What a lovely place to hold a wedding. Lucky bride and groom.
That's an amazing place for a wedding.
Joe The Plumber and McCain - dumb and dumber.
What a gorgeous setting for a wedding.
Those irises are so pretty!
