| I am excited to be a part of this wonderful book cover, my love sign created by me Dore Callaway PRAIRIE-STYLE WEDDINGS By FIFI O'NEILL A new kind of wedding book, one with a voice to its pageantry of ceremonies where one will find inspiration in styling with architectural salvage, trends in home and garden decor, reclaimed rustic prairie styles, European and American vintage and antique furnishings a key mix in the romance and beauty of prairie-style weddings. Stylist Fifi O'Neill went to extraordinary lengths to win back when prairie weddings were planned around what inspired life on the plains of the prairies, where it was common to hold a wedding in a home or barn. This was not a practical desire for simplicity rather than minimalism. Prairie-Style Weddings has and inherent purity to the authentic feel in each of its home weddings. its pages of simplicity in time worn invites a cozy welcoming feeling to its softer relaxed side of elegance stylishly through the passage of time; all encouraging the best in prairie-style designs and decor. |

| Fifi O'Neill grew up in Paris, France. She lived in Manitoba, Canada, for 15 years where she first fell in love with the vast and beautiful plains of the prairies. As editor, writer and stylist, Fifi O'Neill has produced numerous features on home decorating, food, and gardening for American and European magazines and now a number of books to her name. Fifi O'Neill again brings her readers a special wedding book unique to its own with each page vowing to make you fall in love all over again. |

| To assure your copy or copies reserved for you, as well as a perfect Christmas gift for a family member or friend, you may now purchase through Amazon. Take a closer look into Prairie-Style Weddings, a book that inspires more than weddings, it's a book looking towards the road ahead with prairie-style and designs for all things creatively interrupted prairie. |

| Thank you Fifi O'Neill, for the all around romance in Prairie-Style Weddings that will inspire weddings or not weddings; a beautifully inspiring coffee table book that adds much more than its title. xox Dore |

Lovely ideas here with such an organic feel and connection with nature!! Have a lovely weekend,K
Doré your post conveys Fifi's dream of her fascinating wedding book. I already over a month ago put in my advance order/reserve through Amazon. I look forward to the amazing photography and the organically fresh creative wedding designs. Hannah is a beautiful young woman and will one day make the most beautiful blushing bride.
I am sure I will find much inspiration for our Gabrielle's wedding one day in the future ... years ahead.
Fifi's book's are always enchanting and I can see why your Love salvaged sign made it to the cover. What an honor Doré. Everything you create is artistry and soulful perfection.
Beautiful post my friend.
Sending love
XOXO,
Vera

Hi Dore. What gorgeous photos. Your Hannah is so beautiful.
Thank you for visiting. In february I tried to buy one of your crowns from your shop, but it was not possible to ship to Norway. What did I do? Yes I made a couple. I also had a post about it, and linked to your blog. I could not make them as beautiful as yours, but I tried. Hope it`s ok.
Hugs from here

BEAUTIFUL DORÉ!
How happy I am to open my comments to see your words! I so wish I could see you, speak to you, paint with you, create with you! Thank you for feeling the French feel of burlap, stone fireplaces, stone floors and comforting surroundings with me today.
I did tell you about that gold table! I found it in a warehouse parking lot with a sign: "FREE." I took it, painted it gold and then wiped the chalk paint over it and I love it. However, taking photos that are good during my work week is impossible since when I get home, it's dark. I am hoping to get photos today, but I need to really chase the sunshine to do so. I know you'll appreciate the transformation of the table!
Well my dear one, so much goodness here. Your daughter's participation in this book, your style continuing to inspire, and the gift that we have to keep reaching for beauty.
Enjoy your Sunday! Anita

how exciting, dore! to see your work accompany and enhance such a beautiful book must be such a thrill. hannah looks gorgeous, and bravo to Fifi for kicking up the lovely in this prairie project by bringing you two on board! i will be sure to get a copy! and this is gonna sound bizarre, but i just put together a post about pandeia studio, and an image i found on kelsi's site to share is a prairie hippie sort of gal holding a rustic love sign that blew me away and sent me scrambling for scrap wood to paint out simply. the universe has spoken loud and clear i must say. LOVE SIGNS. the words stick in my brain and trigger all sorts of layers of meaning. thank you for sharing this lovely.
je suis heureux de vous rencontrer. Thank you for stopping by the market and I agree with your comments, the shops in SB are really extraordinary!
SO much beauty hear at Burlap Luxe! I am adding you to my blog roll so I can see all of your future posts. Your daughter is a beauty and I love the charm of the Prairie!

Beautiful. I love weddings that feel organic and natural yet still beautiful. to me they represent what a wedding is all about.
Such beautiful eye candy in each of these photos. Love your LOVE sign, and your daughter is stunning!
Dearest Dore,
Your words always fill my heart with happiness.. I am so happy you enjoyed White bear and little owl. Yes, you know a red berry garland would have been just the thing.. I had crocheted him a collar, the same color as little owl's cap. I forgot to include the photo.
I just adore this post! I have been back a few times to just soak in the beauty.
fondly,
Penny
Your Hannah is beautiful. My daughter was just married, I am dog sitting now. What wonderful idea's for a wedding. yvonne
Dore, I can't wait for this book to come out and I don't have any wedding to plan (my daughter's far too young)! When Fifi was at my house in May, I got to peek at the book on her laptop. OH MY GOODNESS! It is gorgeous and I just adore your sign. Your daughter is so beautiful and makes a perfect model. She looks a lot like you!
This book will be a treasure. :)
Oh, how exciting for you both, Dore! I love Fifi's work and know that this will be just as wonderful. I can't wait! Congratulations, you do the most amazing work, and deserve this honor.
Big hugs,
Patti
You have a very beautiful blog and I'm so glad I have found this post. Rustic charm and stunning photos, so romantic!
Congratulations to you. The book looks wonderful. I also see you have an Etsy shop. I will now favourite it and take a further look.
I will visit here again!
Best wishes,
Jo.x
I just noticed that metal heart with the initials, A. R. that's ME AND RUBEN! hahahahahaahhah
How lovely Hannah is my dear....
And thank you so much for your comment last night...aren't those images GLORIOUS in their French grays? What is it about that color, the French touch and the frailty of an aged piece that makes our hearts flutter? Maybe it's the suggestion of a death that tugs at our hearts to remind us to embrace the life....whatever it is, we share it. BISOUS MA CHÈRE!
Dear Dore,
Your comment this evening just made my day... Thank you so much for your most encouraging words.
I really enjoyed creating Cosmo. He is my first crow.
Did you just love Vera's post on Poe? I truly did.
Enjoy your evening dear friend,
and many heartfelt thanks.
fondly,
Penny
