In a time when many people are overworked and busy, few find time for the simpler things in life; things like taking in nature's beauty or enjoying a nursing meal around the table with friends.
Today, many of these basic pleasures are showing up in what use to be extravagant affairs, such as weddings. Suddenly, there is a great return to home, comfort, nature, earth, and friendship. Rather than seeing weddings that are jewel encrusted with lush high-end materials and imported flowers, where the hosts of the party are all but removed from their guests, we are beginning to see a trend for the simpler affair. Forward thinking couples are looking for options like small collections of feast tables scattered in a meadow, soft gauzy fabrics blowing in the wind, locally grown vegetables and succulents used as centerpieces - allowing the Bride & Groom to be mixed in amongst their guests as they laugh and clink their glasses to the setting sun.
While people's calendars and schedules stay as busy as ever, many are comforted to know that there is a way back; a way back to a simpler time and a simpler place - at least for one special day.
