Real Wedding: Ali & Art's Summer Wedding, Veronica Lola Photography, Bayonet Farms

Tuesday, July 1, 2014


It is hot out there! Not that we are complaining. And if you are tempted to complain, I will remind you of our Arctic winter. No thank you. This weather reminds me of some of our warmer weddings last summer and I realized I never blogged Veronica Lola's gorgeous pictures of Ali and Art's wedding last year.  Now we understand that there are no weddings at Bayonet Farms at the moment {maybe that will change again}but the rustic, chic color palette and details of Ali and Art's big day can translate to many different venues.

Just as a note for couples that are planning their wedding from afar... Ali and Art lived in Australia for much of the design and planning process before the wedding. There were a few local visits to the States {Art is from New Jersey so he understands cold but Ali saw the space in the dead of a brutally cold and snow-y winter but she was a good sport about it.} No matter the distance, it can be done with the right team of people behind you {us!}






Ali and Art knew they would be moving to Texas after their honeymoon so as a nod to both Australia {Ali's home and where the couple met and fell in love}, and the great State of Texas {where their lives would continue} we placed gilded kangaroos and cattle on the place settings of mixed vintage China. And guests, having traveled from all over the world, were encouraged to sign a vintage globe- we think the coolest guest book out there.



We used much of Trunk Vintage Rental's  inventory to create the lounge areas in the cocktail space, the ladder escort card display, and the cocktail bars.




It was a warm day, sure. But it was one for the fun record books too. The couple and their guests danced the night away in the beautiful barn and we are just happy to be a part of it all.

We have recently learned that Ali and Art have welcomed a little bundle of joy into their lives! We wish all the best things in the world for them and their daughter. xo.






Ali and Art's wedding was featured on A Paper Proposal and the girls' bouquets were featured on Love Inc. Magazine.



Real Wedding: Marianne and Michael, Perona Farms (Andover, NJ), Kay English Photography

Tuesday, March 18, 2014

Marianne and Michael got married on crisp fall day last October at Perona Farms (Andover, NJ) I met with Marianne, a wedding photographer, and her sweet mom a few months before their wedding to talk about the overall feel of the day and the sentiment the couple wished to express through the decor. They wanted to stay true to the wildflower, rustic aesthetic {as evidenced by the super cool cowboy boots} but with a pop of bright color. We chose dahlias, roses, asters, astilbe, peppers, lavender and dusty miller for the bouquets, bouts, and centerpieces. We adore the way the colors played such a dramatic role in the day {especially against the gray sky}and the hand-picked feel the arrangements stayed true to. The day was perfectly captured by Kay English Photography.




















We wish the newlyweds so much love and luck and the best to Marianne in this upcoming wedding season.


Weekend Wrap-up... Styled Holiday Sessions with Two Wonderful Photographers and our Favorite Textile Company

Wednesday, November 20, 2013



This weekend we were delighted to partner with a couple of wonderful photographers to style some fabulous holiday sessions for families, couples, babies, and pets! We wanted to share our set-ups with you!

Keep in mind if you are local to the NJ/NY area you can arrange to rent some of our items for your holiday pictures. We can discuss details with you and your photographer. Our rental website is www.trunkvintagerental.com and while NOT everything is pictured on it, it should give you a sense of what we have available.

One of our shoots was at the 6th Borough Market in Jersey City and we were joined there by Angela Newton Roy Photography and The Casa Pino.  



Our other shoot was at the Plut Tree Farm in Washington, NJ with DHM Photography and we created two very fun set-ups for all of the families that came by {we had our holiday pics taken too so we will be sure to share!}
