We are so excited to share Liz and Bill’s wedding featured on Carrots & Cake!!

As we are sitting down to write this post there is snow on the ground and the temperatures are below freezing, but these gorgeous photos byErin McGinn Photography are bringing us back to the beautiful fall weddings we feel so grateful to be a part of. Working with Liz and Bill was one of those fun and exciting experiences that a wedding planner always hopes for. Their fun and free spirits came through with every aspect of planning.

Jonathan Edwards Winery provided the perfect whimsical and garden inspired setting Liz and Bill imagined. The key design elements we decided to incorporate were elegant, classic and black tie. We chose elegant pieces including white with gold rim china, standard flatware, beautiful organic menus. The gold chiavari chairs added a classic touch to the tent and  brought the table design together. Hana Floral Design designed the flowers with the winery in mind. The greenery, soft roses and touches of eucalyptus picked up the organic feel the couple was going for. Liz’s bridesmaids wore all black floor length dresses and Bill’s groomsmen wore black tuxes, adding the perfect elegance to the night.

As the sun was setting Liz and Bill said their I do’s intertwined in the fields of grapes. After the ceremony, guests made their way to an elegant cocktail  hour where Russell Morin Catering provided small bites and delicious wines from the vineyards themselves. After cocktail hour, guests found their seats under the magnificent tent to celebrate Liz and Bill with outstanding speeches, a delicious three course meal, and party on the dance floor with Ariel Music & Events. To finish off the evening guests were treated to miniature donuts and mini milkshakes, what a fun treat!

One of the best parts of wedding planning is being able to design new and interesting palettes, so when a bride comes to us and says she is getting married at Gedney Farm you are overjoyed. Gedney Farm is one of those magical places that offers its guests a secluded get away for their weekend of festivities. The property boasts an original working barn that can accommodate 250 of your closet friends and family. In addition to the luxurious event barn, the property offers the couple accommodations to stay on-site for the wedding weekend!

When we started working with Ashely and Brad it was certain that they wanted to keep their wedding elegant and festive while still being in intimate country side space. The design included elements of a black tie affair, with the grand floral center pieces by Pedestals Floral Decorators, a calligraphy mirror by Ink Revival and fine linens from La Tavola. These elegant details were just the prefect accents to bring to Ashley and Brad’s wedding.

On the big day the weather was one of the perfect New England days, so we were of course elated when we could stick with our plan to host the ceremony at the Knoll, the properties secluded outdoor ceremony space. After the ceremony guests made their way down to the sun drenched cocktail hour where they dined on delicious small bites constructed by the talented chefs at Gedney Farm. As cocktail hour came to a close guests found the elegant calligraphy mirror indicating where they would be taking their seats for the evening of festivities. TheGuests found their seats in the properties event barn featuring intimate touches of soft lighting by Ryan Design. After dinner was served guests celebrated the happy couple by surrounding them on the dance floor to the musical talent of Hank Lane – Steve Delisi Band.
