Good ol’ Beantown is contributing to the pretty parade with our next featured wedding. Sent to us by Lexi Photography, these garden nuptials are all about fun and of course, a good old fashioned candy bar. Yum! And we love the touch of grosgrain ribbon. It adds a little prep to this wedding’s step. Be sure to check out the gallery for more from this summer affair.

Liz and Joel are high school sweethearts. Joel looks at Liz like she is the only person in the world…like the sun rises and sets in her eyes. It is really incredible to witness. They planned a summer affair at the beautiful Steven’s Estate in Andover, MA (north of Boston). They had a tented wedding with impeccable details—candy buffet, blue and white gosgrain ribbon belts on the menus, funfetti cake—and everything was navy, pink, and white. Her girls wore caspian blue J. Crew dresses with bright pink peony bouquets, and carried handmade clutches in different shades of pink, Liz carried a white garden inspired bouquet and wore a beautiful ivory Enzoani gown. It was a true New England summer affair and Liz made sure every detail represented her upscale garden celebration.

i love this wedding! its beautiful!
Ah! That's my wedding dress, too! Looks great on her :) Yay!
wish i could have been there to see it for myself. the pictures look gorgeous and its so sweet that they're high school sweethearts! <3
Yay Liz, she's a gorgeous bride! They are so sweet together. Great photos by Lexi. :)
Please, fill me in on the favor labels!? Love them... was it a template or did you do them yourself, cardstock or labels??
What a stunning wedding. I love the preppy theme, and this is the best use of navy/pink/white that I've seen in any wedding literature. Gorgeous.
I was unsure about these bridesmaids dresses for my girls, but after seeing this wedding I was speechless! What a gorgeous couple, lovely maids, and breakthtaking day!! Thank you for posting this, SMP!!!
Yay for beantown! I love the clusters of the paper lanterns in the tent!
This will be my venue! I can only hope my wedding will look half this put together. I'm wondering which caterer she went with and who made the cake if the bride stops by here!
I absolutely loved working on this wedding - the bride had so many amazing details!! Thank you so much for the feature!
Hi! Thank you for all the kind words!
@Erin- We went with Simply Elegant. I did a detailed review on Weddingwire, but in short I highly highly recommend them. We used I Dream of Jeanne for the cake...she was also great and makes funfetti, which was key for us :)
@ Amanda- We had DoubleTrouble Designs custom make the labels.
Oh, I also want to add that I would not have been able to execute any of these details without Emilie at Pink Orchid Weddings. I can't rave enough about her. If you don't have a day of coordinator yet, call her!
Wow - you're wedding was beautiful! I love the colors, and all the little details...in particular the bridesmaid's purses. May I ask where you got them from? I'm still trying to find the right gift to give to my bridesmaids, and something like this might just the right thing. Thanks!!
Stunning bride and lovely, well-placed details on the reception and stationery. Gorgeous!
@ Danielle- Thank you :) I ordered them from GraceyBags on etsy. I also included a silver initial necklace from GemsByEm on etsy that was really reasonable and a big hit.
I love the cake topper! Does anyone know where I can find it?
Also, who made the Mr & Mrs chair signs?
Where did you find the stir stick with the M on it?
I love this wedding!! Are those j.crew dresses caspian blue or matisse blue? They look much different online
wow, what amazing wedding pics. i love the candy buffet.
