Brandy and Aaron's Sweet Summer Vows

10/21/2015

Brandy and Aaron’s rustic wedding took place at AD Makepeace Farms in Tihonet, MA. From the chalkboard menu to the reclaimed wood signs to the pie buffet, their wedding highlighted the beauty of the natural landscape with their country-themed aesthetic.

We are proud to present this blog of their day with photos by Jessica Doherty.

The day kicked off with the bride getting her hair and makeup done by Ali LoMazzo Beauty. The bride, groom, and their family and friends convened for the ceremony on the grassy field overlooking the Tihonet Pond. Guests picked up the creative wedding programs doubling as hand fans. The bridesmaids wore deep teal dresses and were followed by the adorable young ring bearers and flower girls who bounced their way down the aisle. Walking down the aisle to “Ripple” by the Grateful Dead, Brandy wore a gorgeous lace gown accented with her sunflower and wildflower bouquet. The bride and groom recited their own vows surrounded by their loved ones in the scenic setting.

Following the ceremony, guests made their way to the cocktail and reception at the Box Mill Hall barn which was transformed into a beautiful space with wild-flower filled mason jar centerpieces and cascades of string lights illuminating the barn. Guests spilled out into the surrounding green spaces outside the barn while Brandy and Aaron took additional photos with their bridal and groomsmen parties.

The barn opened for the reception which was beautifully decorate the barn with touches like the guest book, which was a tree of life to which guests added their own fingerprint “leaves,” becoming a framed image that would adorn the walls of Brandy and Aaron’s home. The place cards doubled as the guest favor – small bottles of red and white wine custom labeled with a photograph of Brandy and Aaron. Following the introductions, guests enjoyed a pig roast with all the cornbread, biscuit, and collard green fixings prepared by Christian’s Catering. A lively night of dancing followed with music by Each Production. The bride and groom snuck out to capture the sunset in breathtaking photos at the end of the night, then rejoined the party to enjoy a pie buffet overflowing the chocolate cream, pecan, and raspberry deliciousness!

We hope the sweet ending to Brandy and Aaron’s fun-filled summer wedding kicked off the sweet beginning to their lives together!

A Love That Lifts You Up

10/6/2015

Instead of starting off with a quiet brunch to begin their special day, Nate and Glynis decided to "kickstart" their marriage with a kickball game. This friendly game took place just outside of the Overbrook House, the beautiful property where these lovebirds would later in the day say “I do.” Post kickball fun, the bride got dolled up at the house while Party Cape Cod set up the tent, tables, and chairs outdoors. B Lovely Beauty made Glynis sparkle: her curls accompanied by a diamond-studded headband and her makeup neutral to promote her natural beauty. Just outside of the Overbrook House, Nate saw his bride in her white glory for the very first time. We are happy to present these photos from Nate & Glynis’ wedding, courtesy of their friend Heidi Doroghazi.

The ceremony began just after guests were greeted and seated in the yard full of with white satin chairs. Josh Knowles began the ceremony music and the bridal party began walking down the aisle. The adorable 1-year-old flower girl, Magnolia, stole the show for a short second, but all eyes quickly turned to Glynis. Glynis, hand-in-hand with her father, gracefully walked down the aisle. Her bouquet, designed by Jenn Smith Floral Design, was almost as detailed as her dress: all different colors ranging from white to lavender to dark purple.

After the reception, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour while the bride, groom, and family shared a photo session made a little easier with the help of oysters and signature cocktails provided by B&M Catering. The celebration continued into the night with assistance from Murray Hill Talent, who provided great music all night long. After dinner, the DJ had a special announcement: not only were they celebrating their wedding, but also the bride’s father’s 67th birthday. Just prior to cutting the cake, courtesy of Chocolate Rose Cake Shoppe, the whole wedding party sang “Happy Birthday” to Mr. Ritchie. Then, after a quick dress change, Nate and Glyn shared their first dance to “Blame It On The Boogie,” followed by the father/daughter dance to “Born Out Of Mischief.”

The night ended in sparklers, s’mores, and smiles as guests either departed or made their way to the Dance Hall to keep the night young. The day was beautiful and the couple couldn’t have been happier. We were honored to be a part of their special day and we want to thank everyone who aided in this successful celebration of Nate and Glynis.
