The Reception Hall


I thought I'd post some photos of the reception at the Fort Langley Hall, 
mainly for the beautiful way in which it was prepared by the family.


The 1930's era building looked festive and charming with
greenery, flowers, lights and candles 
adorning the vintage paneling, ledges and window sills.


Long tables were set with navy napkins and
 notes for each guest tucked into a tiny black envelope.


An assortment of vases stuffed with white floral bouquets lined the window sills


as well as the tables.


I just loved these arrangements . . . each one a little different!


Some of the cousins of the bride (on the Janzen side) gathered at the end of our table.
Seated here are Katie, Nathan, Mark, Rosalynn, Kristal, Shaun and Darren.
Larissa must have been up and about (she came from Edmonton)
and Chelsea also missed the photo.
We missed Ben and Kari and Julene and Chris at this wedding.


Carmen's near favorite uncle and aunt . . .
(I see  the other near favorite aunt
talking to the missing Chelsea in the background.)


and everyone else!


Need I say there were thoughtfully written speeches and toasts by parents and friends,
games, wonderful food and a dance to end this wonderful day.

OH such a pretty setting for a wedding reception. The flowers and the decor just add to the beautiful venue. Family weddings are most special and I can see that everyone was thrilled to be there.

How beautiful! I was especially intrigued by the garlands on the lights across the ceiling. I love the table bouquets, too. How thoughtful to write a note for each guest! Who has that kind of time before a wedding? Lovely!
