Beautiful Winter Wedding

We went to a wedding the first weekend in Dec. here in our town.  I was expecting red and black for the colors but the bridesmaids wore light blue dresses.  The bride looked like a blond Barbie doll.  

The wedding was at a church here in town and the reception was at the old school gym.  We walked into the gym and were amazed at how beautiful everything was!  You can imagine an old gym with the wooden floor and folded up wooden bleachers on two sides.   They had transformed it into a Winter Wonderland!  

They had draped a huge piece of white material overhead kind of like a tent feeling so you didn't have the really tall gym ceiling.  The tables were covered with white with a light blue runner down the middle with lots of sparkly snowflakes everywhere in white, silver and blues.  The chairs were covered with white covers with light blue bows.  On the tables and in other places were large clear glass containers full of different Christmas ornaments in blues and silver.  But the most amazing part was one whole side where they had pulled out the bleachers part way I think and had about 3 rows of white flocked trees alternating with white spray painted branches that looked like winter trees with white lights!  There were about 25 trees!  It was soooo pretty!

Nice photo op setting.
Santa at Hometown Christmas

The decorations were left up for Hometown Christmas the next day.  Bill transported Santa to the school gym on a fire truck.  The usual vendors were there like Pampered Chef, Avon, Stanley Products, etc.  I sold Rolfe Sesquicentennial Cookbooks for a while.   A 4-H group did a soup supper - chili or potato soup.
