Thornewood Castle ~ Lori & Jim’s wedding photographs

Lori & Jim chose the historic  Thornewood Castle in Lakewood for their recent wedding and reception.  Lori (of Granny’s Bridal Boutique) devoted countless hours preparing for this big day by making many of the favors for guests and for the decorations.

Lori’s perfectly beautiful ‘Real Touch’ roses were amazingly real looking and perfect for the bride who might have allergies to real flowers.

    Do We?  And they certainly did!  Lori made the sign that was on the table with their guest book.

It had been raining the day before, the day of (sprinkles) and even the day after their wedding.  However, after their ceremony there was a brief period of actual sunshine!  We took advantage of the break in weather and got some portraits outside.

The napkins and the napkin rings were made by Lori.  I’d never have guess they were all ‘homemade’  She was a true perfectionist in everything she touched.

The Swarovski crystals were lovingly and patiently placed on the ladle and tongs one by one by Lori.

         The guests loved the sweet treat table with many different treats from candies to cookies.
