Brunch Lovin' for KT & Becky

Getting the chance to coordinate Becky and KT’s wedding was truly an honor.  Becky and our owner/founder Sarah worked together planning events at a Boston nonprofit for several years.  Even though Sarah left her job there several years ago, Becky knew that when it came time for her to plan her own wedding, Sarah would be a part of it.

​Enter KT, her pup Rex, a condo in Roslindale, and an engagement.  It was especially fun to work on this one together not just because of the personal connection, but also because of Becky’s professional work in events and her incredible attention to every detail. Their day of timeline is no less than 8 pages long (which may be a record for us) and the day itself was organized and heartfelt.

The story of their special day, shared below, with photos courtesy of the insanely talented Analog Photo.

​The morning started with getting ready for both of the brides at their Boston home.  Hair and makeup for Becky was done by Adore Styling while KT packed the final, carefully organized details into their car and headed over to the venue, the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham.  All of the vendors were there bright and early for this lunchtime affair.  The caterer, Cuisine Chez Vous, started the room setup and all of the food and bar prep. They also provided all of the pretty floral centerpieces and the personal flowers and the birch chuppah and adornments.  The band, Water and the Night Owls, arrived soon after the caterer to set up their equipment and do a sound check.
 
After we unloaded KT’s car the venue (she brilliantly brought a cart to make it super easy), Becky arrived in style in a limo from ATR and met KT for a “first look” and lots of great photos. KT's boutonniere, Becky's hairpiece, and the flower girl's crown were handmade by the brides themselves - so pretty!

​As guests arrived for the ceremony, they gathered in the museum space. There were a few chairs for sitting, but most of the guests huddled close to the chuppah. KT and the honored chuppah holders took their place first, followed by the adorable flower girl, and then the radiant Becky. The couple chose a friend, Sarah Richard, to officiate the ceremony.  There were a few readings from close friends and the exchanging of rings, which were handmade by local jeweler E.Scott Originals.  It resulted in a very personal and sweet ceremony filled with laughs and tears for all.
 
After the end of the ceremony, and an uplifting recessional song to “Natalie Cole – This Will Be,” guests were ready to mix and mingle for cocktail hour, featuring yummy appetizers and sparkling mimosas.  The brides took a few more photos outdoors before joining their guests.

When guests were ready to transition to the reception space, all of the details that KT and Becky had thought so much about were waiting for them.  In the gallery space was a non-traditional guestbook.  Guests could write on small pieces of paper and put them in the “bottle” for the couple to open on their anniversary.  Photos were strung throughout the gallery showing Becky, KT, and their dog.  And the escort cards were old fashioned time stamp cards, fitting with the theme of the museum.  A sign explained that, in lieu of favors, a donation was made to the MSPCA in honor of the guests.  The MSCPA is where KT adopted Rex from years earlier!

On each table in the Jackson Room were bright, pretty sunflowers. Perfect for a sunny brunch wedding.  Each table also had a container of legos and jenga for guests to play but the cutest part was the table numbers: photos of Rex in little frames!

Becky and KT entered the reception space to raucous applause before starting their first dance to “You Are The Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne.  Guests joined the couple on the dancefloor for the end of the dance and for a few songs while the buffet was set up.   All of the yummy brunch food was served, and guests were so happy to have entertainment, food, and drinks.
​
A few speeches rounded out the lunchtime.  Both Becky and KT’s sisters spoke, followed by friends of the couple Sandra and Maren.  KT and Becky also stood up to say a big thank you to all of the guests for being a part of their day.  The brides actually had two cakes: one was baked by Cuisine Chez Vous and the other, smaller cake was gluten-free and baked by their friend Maddy.  Both were delicious!

​A bit of dancing and mingling and more photos rounded out the party.  Cleanup was simple – everything went back in their car – but to Becky and KT’s surprise, the car had even more decorations on it than they had bargained for, thanks to some eager friends.
 
Congratulations to these two lovebirds from Without A Hitch. We are so happy for you!
