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.
