July Weddings at Highgrove






This was a busy weekend at Highgrove, with two weddings-- but what a perfect few days of weather! Our couple on Friday, Julie and Ben, were married at St. Michael's, but enjoyed a fabulous reception at Highgrove. The grounds and ballroom were decorated with festive hot pink and black and white-- perfect complimentary colors to our blooming gardens! Guests dined on Fried Green Tomatoes and Bruschetta for cocktail hour before heading into the ballroom for the party. A buffet dinner was served, including Caesar salads, our famous Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken, Roasted Pork Loin, Risotto with Leeks, and Green Beans Almondine. The bride and groom sent all their guests off with individualized bottles of wine and pencils (the bride was a teacher!). Such a perfect day for such a sweet couple!

Saturday's couple, Jessica and Kevin, were married in our garden pergola area. Cocktails were served on the patio while guests dined on Pulled Pork Sliders and Fried Green Tomatoes (popular choice this weekend!). Dinner included our famous Pecan Crusted Bourbon Chicken, Smoked Beef Brisket with Texas Sauce, Roasted Rosemary Potatoes, and Seasonal Vegetables. I was so busy working that I didn't get a chance to get any pictures-- except for the cake!
