Wedding Photography by Ron Klein
Ceremony at 5. Reception to follow at the home of the bride’s parents,
HOME COMPANION style editor Kathy Curotto and her husband, Frank. Expect a fun
menu and surprises: favor boxes almost too pretty to open, button-dotted escort
cards, a photo guest book. You’re cordially invited to borrow our ideas. And
don’t forget to take home some caramels!
(a) “Meet me in St. Louis” takes on new meaning when your guest list tops 300,
but mom and daughter were up to the challenge. Flowers, Bloomin’ Buckets.
THIRD TIME’S A CHARM
(b) Burlap strips
hand-stitched with DMC embroidery floss serve as tablecloths. Kathy slipcovered
sling and director’s chairs in vintage grain sacks. (c) Contrasting orange pillows
add oomph. Pillow dye, Tulip. Vintage grain sacks, Blue Ocean Traders. Throws,
Jeanette Farrier. (d) Libby and Greg Kueneke are the third generation to celebrate
their wedding at this home. “My grandparents’ and my parents’ receptions also
took place here,” says Libby.
(e) “We really wanted to get away from white linens,” says Kathy. The solution?
Harvest tables topped by two layers of burlap and vintage hemp runners. Oil and
vinegar carafes, Sagaform USA.
OLIVE YOU
(f) Libby sported a bright orange ribbon sash for
the reception, matching the glowing paper lanterns overhead, some as large as 3
feet in diameter. Their song? “Tupelo Honey,” by Van Morrison. Ribbon sash,
Tinsel Trading. Lanterns, Cultural Intrigue. (g) and (h) Food was served family style,
starting with bowls of olives, platters of heirloom tomatoes, and herb-decorated
bread. (i) Raspberry-lemon cake with white chocolate ruffles.
