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.

all about love

A mini photo report of the wedding of our friends Marieke & Stefan, or as we call them Marie & Steef...

Marieke is a wonderful friend and we share a lot of passions, like crochet, gardening (ginkgo's), Cuba, flowers, vintage, oldtimers and golden shoes.

Marieke and I met for the first time in October 2010, when she joined the crochet workshop for beginners I organized with Yvestown's Yvonne in Den Bosch, the Netherlands.

It was great fun and Marieke also joined the second crochet workshop in March 2011, this time for experienced crocheteers, haha.

From then on our friendship blossomed into something special.

Marieke joined me during the Cool Crochet workshop April 2015 with her niece Marleen. We had so much fun together and the three of us became soulmates! We share the same sense of humor and all three of us are equally emotional...

On Saturday we celebrated the wedding of Marie & Steef. Everything was right; the couple, love, fairytale setting, weather, atmosphere, live Cuban music, flowers (by Marleen), home baked cakes, champagne and all dear family and friends! And her husband Steef surprised her with a vintage Porsche on the wedding day, no doubt that almost everyone wanted to be photographed with that beauty!

Like Marie's father mentioned in his loving speech during dinner; 'Marie is a pearl!'

eindhoven

Photo report of last weekend in Eindhoven.

After our friends wedding party at Het Ketelhuis on Saturday night, we stayed in the Student Hotel, on the 19th floor.
The morning after, we had a 'hangover breakfast' at the Coffeelab next to the hotel.
In the afternoon we had lunch at area Strijp and visited Radio Royaal, such an inspiring place!

occasional dress

Some dresses you only wear on special occasions. The dress I wear every few years.

The silk Fornarina dress is a bit over the top, but above all very elegant and feminine. It's almost vintage, because I already have it for many years. It popped up from my wardrobe, to be the party dress for the wedding party part two of our friends Marleen and Mick last Saturday.



The last time I was wearing it before, was when we visited the Theatre-Museum Dalí in Fiqueres in July 2014.

And the previous occasion was in Paris, April 2009, see below the funny 'upskirt' picture, with mini Pippa in the background.
