Biscuit’s Christina is getting married this summer to the handsome Paul (the inspiration behind the “Paul” print) in France- where her family is from- and she sent me this wedding the other day that I think we all need to consider for a moment.
Crest by Happy Menocal.
That is a vintage wedding dress bought by the Bride’s grandmother and worn by her mother.
Ohh just a squillion peonies tumbling out of a milk bucket.
Lalanne sheep, you know how I feel about that.
But this, hilariously, is what the caption on the picture said:
“Lalanne sheep statues were grazing in a meadow of daisies, while nearby in a tree house, a lute, flute, and cello trio greeted guests.”
Oh no big deal. Just magic elvin musicians up in a tree, setting a mood.
Porthault table cloths?
Giant topiary chickens??
Oh, and don’t just assume like I did that the chic coolness is because this was in France somewhere. Because it was in Michigan.
I think I love these people.

Oh my god this makes me want to get married all over again holy cow those sheep! those peonies. That dress!!!
amazing! I wish I were so cool
Shut.the.front.door. That wedding is amaze and I can’t believe it was in Michigan?! The crest, table linens and vintage dress are my favorites!
WOW! Did you see the giant golden egg! Why didn’t I get a giant topiary for my wedding?? :/
How in the world did I “forget” the lute and flute players in a tree house?!?
Amazing. Jealous. Most of the time, I’m so glad I never have to plan another wedding… but every once in a while… a golden egg and sheep grazing in a courtyard…
Love the giant chickens!! I knew I was missing out by getting married in the winter.
Totally love it, and your sense of humor. Shocking that anyone got that creative in Michigan with a wedding-and I live here! Thanks for sharing!
If you haven’t already, go to aaron delesie’s blog – there are way more pictures including shots of the interior of the house (you will die) and a tent shot (you will die again)

I know this house in Michigan and the gardens are this amazing! In the images from the magazine you get a glimpse, but there is a garden house painted PINK. It really is amazing. Thanks to Kim for the additional images – the tent was freaking awesome.
Oh man, what a beautiful wedding. Weddings in France are the best. My husband and I got married outside of Bordeaux, it was the best week of my life. xoxo http://starbiesandsangrias.com/our-wedding/
