It was a wonderful afternoon last Saturday at the Gibson House Museum in Woodland, Ca where we styled a dessert bar for Maria and Greg's wedding. The Gibson House which sits on two-and-a-half landscaped acres was closed for this private event. There were lots of activities available to keep the guests busy- pose for photos taken at the photo booth, have a portrait sketched by an artist, join a game of giant Jenga, or enjoy a quiet walk around the grounds. For food and drinks, there were plenty to go around. Besides the 12-foot long dessert bar, there were the appetizers bar, and the wet bar.  

The Gibson house museum represents a typical rural ranch-home during the mid-19th to the early 20th centuries. The "Chic Vintage"-themed dessert bar which we decorated with elements such as vintage frames, rustic metals, candelabras, candles, and lace fabric was a fitting tribute to this era. The pastel colors coupled with highlights of lilac were just a great palette for this spring wedding. See the photos!
