updates by sue

We hate to leave you hanging, but we've been a little bit busy lately! The summer wedding season has quickly moved to the fall wedding season, and projects have kept us on our toes!

That being said, we wanted to share some of the beautiful things happening at Vintage View!

one - of course, weddings!

Seriously, can you just pause for a second and give yourself some applause? Brides and grooms, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, friends, and friends-of-friends... you all deserve so many hugs (and probably a spa day too...). We are so blessed to know so many wonderful people who "wow" us with their weddings, then refer their friends - who keep the amazing comin'! We appreciate you so much, and each of us at Vintage View by Sue are so proud to live in a community where people support local businesses... even ones ran by crazy mail ladies who hide away treasures in a milk barn! 

two - our website!

You're on it right now, and we hope you think it looks as great as we do. The progress is slow, but the updates to our site keep coming. Check out our rental tab, and you will get a look at what Carly has been slaving away at the last few weeks! Our rental list is LIVE! This means that you can see what we rent (and the price!) before you come to the House!

The rental list coupled with our wedding questionnaire are so cool, or so we think. Have you looked at either? We would love to hear your feedback - message us on FB, leave a comment, or just give us a call.

three - the vintage view house! 

When you came to pick up rentals, we consolidated our goodies and went room by room ripping out carpet and painting our floors. I must say (as a non-painter), that they look pretty awesome! You might have noticed no photos of our newly finished floors on the highlight reel, and that's on purpose. Come out and see them! 

What's changed in your life since we last spoke? We'd love to hear your updates in the comments!

See you soon,

a guide to: dreamy tablescapes

If our Pinterest has not already given it away, we love a good tablescape. For those that do not spend their days living and breathing in the wedding world, this might not be the case. 

Because we know and accept that many brides do not have the time to dedicate to planning perfectly crafted tables, we wanted to give you a good place to start. And of course, we had to start with a theme that is filled to the brim with a vintage, garden part charm that we love!

The Missouri weather was not making nice for a garden dinner party, so we wanted to bring a bit of the outdoors inside for this fun occasion. Most of our summer has been to hot, muggy, and all around sticky, so we needed a bit of garden and a lot of AC.

For this set-up, we worked with our large collection of mismatched china. We love the look they bring to the table (pun intended)! Pairing the fine china with quirky feed sacks added a casual feel to the very fancy floral prints and gold rimmed dishes. We added greenery from one of our $10 tubs, and added votives and candle sticks to add some romance to the occasion.

And we love it all!
