An ice cream truck at a wedding? Brilliant! That is, if you don’t mind the little girls at your wedding getting ice cream on their fancy dresses, or the little boys getting dairy on their Dockers. Because there’s a good chance that will happen. There’s a good chance a few mommies might have to whip out the wipes to deal with the sticky aftermath, and they might might flash you the evil eye, but in the end your wedding will always be remembered as the cool wedding with the ice cream cones.
You conform
with your coal black suit
and tie
milk white shirt
and too shiny shoes
But
beneath your cuffs
there is something a little
daring
Something a little
exciting
A bright flicker,
like the flash of a tropical bird
in the forever green of a deep forest
Exotic,
just like the mismatched bride.
And the matching bride too.
You are never boring.

Why did you have an intimate wedding?
We wanted something simple yet elegant. We wanted to be surrounded by our closest friends and family. It was really important to us to have a stress-free event that was centered around our actual union rather then what color the napkins were or what kind of flowers we had.
You are found in cupboards holding preserves, peaches and buttons.
You are humble and timeless and strong.
And now you are shabby chic.
Coveted by brides with shining eyes and good taste.
You are big enough to quench a summer thirst, yet small enough to fit inside the ‘c’ of a human hand.
You are versatile.
You light the way.
You adorn.
You satisfy.
You mark.
You are ubiquitous and cheap.
Come here. I want to hold you.
I want several of these jars (found at Adam and Eve Wedding Consultants), but I have no excuse to buy them. I have no wedding to plan. But there are summer barbecues. Hmm.
Just look at the fabulous homemade drinks from this Montana wedding! The dispensers were used for Arnold Palmer (half iced tea/half lemonade) blackberry vodka, lime gin, and limoncello infusions. I’d say these are on par with the watermelon keg I blogged about recently. A word of caution: The bride pointed out that a couple guests got quite inebriated from some these homemade drinks – namely the blackberry vodka. Apparently, they were drinking it straight up from mason jars and didn’t realize the power of vodka.
I think these would also be great for sangria and a varity of non-alcoholic drinks.
I found them online at Victorian Trading Company for $24.95.
