New England Wedding + Wedding Giveaway Winner!

March 4th. 2010 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 16 comments

Yep, you read that right. Not only do you get to swoon over this gorgeous New England wedding, you also get to hear the winners of the wedding giveaway that Jessica’s Country Flowers, Justin and Mary Marantz and a whole collection of amazing vendors are gifting two very lucky couples. So let’s get to it. First up, the gorgeous wedding that Jessica sent our way to celebrate the big announcement! To see the full wedding, click here.

The wedding was held in September with the ceremony at the Ethel Walker Chapel and reception following just down the road at Hopmeadow Country Club. It was a cocktail-style reception with tons of hors d’oeuvres and many different stations for guests to choose from.  The bride was very detail oriented and hand-painted white pumpkins with their monogram, plus brought in all of her own jar luminaries from her father’s glass company.

Overall Meghan wanted the wedding to have a very organic, rustic and earthy feel to it.  She used the ivory cotton linens provided by the reception site and added burlap squares for texture, color and feel of rustic New England.  Her bouquets were hand-tied bouquets of white dahlias, white button mums, seeded eucalyptus and white mini calla lilies along with white snowberries.  Simple boutonnieres were created using white/creamy color dahlias.  The which paired beautifully with the gentleman’s tan color suits.  I would say this wedding had a little bit of a preppy feel to it with the bridesmaids gowns, the stunning stationery and the ties the bride chose for the gentlemen.  She wanted a really fun atmosphere and a lasting impression on her guests.

    Those pumpkins are SO cute and such a great idea to paint them white!

    And I love to see people drinking out of Mason Jars! Growing up in the south, that's what we always used as our drinking glasses.

    An interesting discussion is worth to comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on this blog. To the next. Cheers, Susan.

    Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks
