I have been so remiss in posting – many apologies.

I am on island here on Nantucket once again – insert big deep "ahhhhhh"/sigh of contentment here. I am knee deep in creeping, climbing Rosa Rugosa in all shades of pink, the air filled with pungent perfume at each and every turn.

Last week was a gorgeous birthday garden party a la South of France, and now I am hitting the cobblestones scouting ceremony and reception sites – tough job, I know.

This quiet corner seems perfect for the bride and groom – a green, grassy garden nook with an entrance perfect for a wedding party. The white arbor is of course, covered with roses and picturesque charm.

The stone steps create a fabulous focal point for the altar – and the grassy lawn has the perfect space for rows of crisp white garden chairs.

And best of all…a gilded golden church steeple rises up next to the garden – adding that romantic, finishing wedding detail to this sumptuous setting.
