wedding in a zeeland orchard

Thursday 15th of May

Last Thursday Björn & Tanja got married.
In a unique setting, with thirty guests in an old orchard.
Sunshine, beautiful ceremony, moving speeches and toasting on the couple with champagne and Zeeuwse bolussen.
On the veranda under the grapevines, dinner was served at the table with delicious food from the bbq.
Wedding cake for dessert.
And because of the fresh sea breeze in the orchard, DJ & dancing in the barn!

A day full of love, beautiful and pure. That's how a wedding should be.

apples

Saturday morning mini polder tour on the first day of autumn.

A perfect late summer day.

We had a coffee on the terrace at Fluitekruid, (Dutch for cow parsley) in the countryside and bought apples at Izak's orchard.

Throughout the harvest season, we always buy our apples in the wooden barn close to our home #shoplocal and some of you might recognize the wooden barn from 'woodwoolstool shoots' in the past...

good friday

It’s almost Easter weekend and the sun is out!

Today I've been busy at Villa Augustus, working on final preparations for Easter. Arranging colorful bouquets, in large and small vases, decorating the huge chandelier in the restaurant. In the meantime it was super busy in the market shop, but in between I had a relaxed picnic lunch break in the orchard.

Enjoy your Easter weekend, everyone!

At work at Villa Augustus. The garden is always at its most beautiful in August.

It's the best harvest month and all flower fields are in bloom.
