Chapel Blog | Our weddings, events and news

Cozy, antique and settled...

  
Wow.......what a lead-in!  That could describe our lives, Cap's face in the mirror, the chapel or a lot of other things around here...  The latest attempt is to see something that speaks to us visually, and since we're all wearing cameras all the time, to capture it as a window into our surroundings.  That's exactly how this little photo took place.  The chapel cubby is such a special and wonderous place...  housing antiques, functional things, memories, etc.  This trio has spent some time here.  Everything ends up in the cubby wherever it lands...as long as it truly belongs there and also fits the country French colourway.  These three (actually a 4th peaking out from the next cubby!) have their own history, and only recently ended up together at random.  The two smaller cups have kind of collected us from different locations, and our dear friend, Sheri Joseph brought us the neat, banded creamer a while back. This scene just provides a sense of order, warmth and patina.  What a blessing every single day. 
  
Well.......on to larger things.  Setup has begun for the exciting wedding this weekend for L&J (she, being the very FIRST bride photographed in the 1973 Fleetwood Brougham) and we're excited about every step forward to the big day. Not much going on otherwise at the chapel, but the weather is so beautiful today, I've made a trip down there twice for materials for Christmas wrappings, and haven't minded the walk at all!   The dogs are loving the sun as well.   
  
Asking Him for direction and seeing Him in every facet of your life.  Those who things combine to create genuine happiness, we think.  Our prayer for you today is that you embrace what is yours, and have a truly blessed day!

Ok...this was for a baby shower, but we're thinking it's kind of a cool departing prize for a wedding as well. Diggin' the citrus theme of this event to this day, and what an unusual idea for a gift!

Wedding homecoming is one of our favorite nights of the year. Brides and grooms get to meet, greet and have fun together. Such a blessing to bring so many special folks into the same room! Neat!

Absolutely love this photo of an angel who's no longer with us. Susan made every visit special with her sparkling smile and kindness. We miss her, and know she's enjoying a heavenly tea party now!

Bright and beautiful! The Bride's Courtyard is one of our favorite places at the chapel. How many thousands of photographs of these fun, funky, retro beauties have been taken at weddings? Magic!

Well, if you're doing charity at the chapel, you've got to look halfway decent, right??!? Lots of work to make this happen right here, but we're excited about the Murder on the Orient Express event!

This is my annual lecture/wonderment about zinnias. They are our absolute favorite flower, and so few weddings include the sturdy little characters. Taylor and Daniel got the memo, however! Love!

A tremendous event starts with a magical invitation. Who would have thought of using a 'citrus' theme with color neutrality for a non-gender reveal baby shower?! Brilliant, and it set the tone!

Happiness Factor is over.the.top with the wonderful union of Annabelle and John on Saturday! Everything was perfect, and when does a couple get an 86 degree wedding on July 27?!?!? That was great!

Creativity and fun were the hallmarks of chapel activities this last weekend! Laura threw a great baby shower for Karley, and the whole "Little Cutie" theme was tremendous from the invitation on!

Every bride at the Chapel at CaliberOak is beautiful! Even those that need extra help in the beauty department, such as Miss ShelbyMae, here. The crown is all of it! Every bride is a princess here!
