Andersons Country Manor Vintage Wedding
Anderson’s Country Manor was the perfect setting for a Spring Vintage Themed Wedding. The bride was stunning in her form fitting bridal silk gown with details like her hand tied rose bouquet that was adorned with her great grand mother’s vintage cameo. Her feathered fascinator and rhinestone shoes polished off the look. The groom and his grooms men wore matching tuxes in black and turquoise. The ceremony was held in a backdrop of green under our gazebo adorned with sheers and antique shutters. Harpist VeeRonna Ragone provided a beautiful rendition of “Marry Me” by Train for the couple’s wedding march. The couple’s photo session at Anderson’s Country Manor included some breathtaking shots in our 2 acre orange grove.
The reception included touches of antiques from books, an old type writer, bird cages, clocks and succulents. The dessert table filled with cupcakes, brownies and lemon bites was a hit with the kids. The couple decided to go low key and brought in barbecue and homemade root beer. The night was finished off with a Barn Dance to the music of “Take Cover”. Guests went home with Smores Bags filled with Chocolate, Grahams and Marshmallows. It was a beautiful day and magical night for Ross and Carey. Thank you to all the vendors Hootie Hoo Photography, Take Cover, and Hey Bartender.
Gazebo Wedding Decoration Ideas
This singular architectural element adds drama and prestige, intimacy, focus, and shade to even the most modest gazebo wedding ceremony.
But the elements of a gazebo are only the beginning.
When you’re ready for the little touches, those that reflect your presence and personality, you’ll want creative ideas for adding unique embellishments and decorative gazebo wedding accessories.
So what could be more creative, dramatic, unique and decorative than a white dove release as your gazebo wedding grand finale?
And trust me. You cannot make a mistake with garlands, wreaths, and tulle.
Add a crystal chandelier. Create a high end atmosphere using outdoor decorative lighting, along with white fabric flowers on the trellis supports, and flowering container gardens all around.
The fabric flowers, garlands, wreaths, and tulle dress up a gazebo and soften its edges all while hiding its imperfections like nothing else.
Garland and wreaths also make useful foundations for a theme gazebo wedding.
A fall gazebo wedding might call for the artful placement of pumpkins and other bounty coordinated with fall leaves peppering the garland and sprinkled down the aisle.
Use flowers of the period like gladiolus, mums, lilies, and gardenias.
Then dress the wedding gazebo posts and rafters with strings of faux pearls.
And any gazebo wedding decorations worth their weight ought to be able to easily function as a reception area.
Then add a round table dressed with elegant table linens and topped with a wedding cake.
Hang lighting from the gazebo roof and rafters.
And wrap string lights around the gazebo posts.
Votives, candle pillars, gazebo lights, and other decorative outdoor lighting fixtures add elegance and ambiance for guest and better light for your wedding photographer.
Decorate gazebo wedding tulle with appliques, flowers, and bows in your wedding theme colors.
Use tulle as you would any gazebo netting.
Tulle draped across a gazebo frame, then gathered and tied at each post gives even the most inexpensive gazebo that wow factor your gazebo wedding decorations need.
Whatever your dream gazebo wedding, start an idea file. And let it serve as inspiration for you and direction for your gazebo wedding planner.

Read MoreRustic Wedding Theme Ideas
Rustic wedding theme ideas add a casual country flair to your big day. Provide a shabby chic atmosphere, a southern-style hoedown or a simply elegant wedding look with rustic ideas which incorporate unique floral, decor and design elements. A rustic wedding theme is very budget-friendly, and a good solution for do-it-yourself (DIY) brides who want to use a lot of homemade items and ideas.
Rustic Wedding Colors
To bring your rustic ideas to life, choose a color palette that fits with the wedding theme. Earth tones in deep yellow, gold, sage, celadon, rust, tan and cinnamon are perfect when you want to create a rustic, country look. Neutral earth tones still create bold pops of color, and match well with rustic flowers and decor.
Rustic Venues
The setting of your rustic wedding is every bit as important as the theme itself. It might be hard to create a rustic look at an elegant cathedral, so choose a venue that will match well with your wedding ideas. Look for local barns and open fields where you can bring your rustic theme to life. Natural scenery creates a stunning visual element, giving you a palette from which to work with all your other ideas and design elements. Anderson’s Country Manor provide the natural scenery that will compliment your rustic theme.
Rustic Flowers
Choose flowers with large blossoms and petals that naturally grow in earthy colors to create a rustic look in your floral arrangements and bouquets. Flowers which are associated with natural gardens, as opposed to hothouse blooms, create a more natural, rustic look. Sunflowers, black-eyed susans, daisies and lupine can help bring your rustic theme to life.
Place floral arrangements in watering cans, baskets, mason jars and clay pots to add another decorative country element. Add dragonflies and butterflies to bouquets and arrangements to include more rustic touches. Clusters of berries create another natural style element in bouquet and floral arrangements.
Flowers aren’t the only way to create a country, rustic theme for your wedding. Corn stalks, dried earns of corn, pumpkins, apples, cinnamon sticks and sprigs of lavender are easy to find, affordable and attractive. Wheat stalks and branches add more rustic elements to your decor.
Reception Ideas
Your wedding event isn’t limited to the ceremony alone, so carry the rustic theme to your reception as well. Create a picnic, barbecue or potluck-style dinner with iced tea and apple cider to give guests a relaxed, down-home rustic feeling. Red and white checkered tablecloths will help bring the rustic theme home. Cornbread, apple pies, pulled pork and other country favorites should be included on the menu. After-dinner square dancing and bluegrass music will add even more rustic elements to your wedding reception.
Your rustic wedding theme should incorporate simple decor. Place floating candles in clay pots, and fill mason jars with popcorn or dried beans to create pretty country decorations. Use baskets and natural fruit (apples, cherries and pears) to make unique centerpieces. Anderson’s Country Manor, an outdoor event and wedding venue in Mesa, Arizona can provide a beautiful setting for your rustic wedding ideas.
