She Said Yes
he very first issue of VintageKC featured Becky Budke’s beautiful home, designed with our friend, interior designer Deb Vogler. So when Becky told us she threw an engagement party for her son, Brett Budke, and his fiancé Jessica Geiss, we definitely wanted to see. Here’s some of our favorite ideas from her romantic, spring-filled, vintage party. Becky gathered family wedding heirlooms from generations for the vintage celebration. Guests were greeted on the front porch with bride and groom Barbie dolls in vintage wedding attire tucked inside a flower urn. Once inside, the main decorative attraction was a fresh floral arrangement inside a 1950s powder-pink bridal gown. All floral designs were by Deb Huber, a family cousin and interior decorator. Heirloom dishes displayed custom sugar cookies and creme-filled cupcakes. Two masculine surpirs- es awaited the groom: antique golf clubs accenting the bar area; and a “tie the knot” table of neckties from years gone by. A Gourmet popcorn tree with tags that read “he popped the question” added to the take-home treat selection. A stone wine bar was transformed into the “He Put a Ring on it Saloon” with signature drinks like, “Brown Eyed Bride” and “Lucky in Love Lemonade.” A getaway suitcase for the honeymoon was packed with a mirror and brush set from the 1920s, a wedding purse from the 1950s, bridal magazines, and a going-away dress from the 1930s. An antique wedding topper and tiny brides- maid dolls added charm to the décor. With a party this fun and creative, we’re sure Brett and Jessica’s wedding will be a hit this May!
