This past weekend I switched hats to be florist and wedding coordinator for a small wedding on our beloved Kirkridge property. Kirkridge is a retreat center located just South of Stroudsburg PA , on the Kittatinny ridge of the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. It is a rustic place so a fancy crystal and diamond wedding just wouldn't work here, however our breathtaking views rival any crystal or diamond.
I was totally charmed by the bride's choice of favors. Ann has been along time collector and fan of vintage handkerchiefs. She wrapped the traditional Jordan Almonds in 64 of her lovely handkerchiefs, tied them with Over the Moon white organdy sheer ribbon. They were so well received, and looked so lovely on the table before the guests were seated.
Even if you haven't been a collector, vintage handkerchiefs are easily found in antique and thrift shops. You can usually strike a deal if you are buying more than one or two. You may want to pick a color theme. Ann's mix was adorable!!
