fabulous/not-so-fabulous….ali and sean || willowdale estate

Next up is an entry from Ali, whose wedding will be featured in the next issue of the knot!

“I was so proud and happy with the ceremony Sean and I created – it was original and it was “us”.  We were able to incorporate all my high school friends (aka ”Flower Goddesses”) and all our friends and family during our ring passing ceremony.”

 ”I loved the acoustic guitar and we got one of the only sunny evenings in August 2009!  We got our dream outdoor wedding ceremony.  A hummingbird even decided to take part :)”

“I was very happy I decided to wear Clarks shoes – so comfortable all night!”

“Overall I wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere besides the Willowdale Estate — everything worked out so wonderfully.  The only thing I would change would be reducing my pre-wedding jitters (which had nothing to do with the man I was marrying!).  I had no need to worry about things going smoothly — the ladies at Willowdale and my family wedding helpers made it all come together perfectly! ”

Thanks Ali!!

Liz and Martin || Moraine Farms || Beverly, Massachusetts

Hello friends and fans, thanks for your patience!  These last few weeks have been packed, and keeping up with the blog is an ongoing pleasure and challenge.  I finally have a few moments to share some more images from Liz and Martin’s unique and lovely day.

Let’s start with the flowers by Flowers by Darlene.

Liz looked amazing – hair, dress, everything. She was so pleased her hairdresser from Charlestown came all the way up to Marblehead to do her hair. She was going for a vintage look and feel for the day, and I think did a fabulous job.

Her mother is a big fan of antiques, so we utilized some of the furniture (perfectly matched!) to do some interesting bridesmaid pictures.

Then we stepped out into the gardens…cue the breeze…..lovely.

I love this shot of the two of them on the trolley, they just look so happy & relaxed.  It started raining on our way over to Moraine Farm, you know, like it has practically EVERY DAY this month, but no big deal!  

Once we got there, Linnea Tangorra was on hand to make sure everything ran smoothly. We started with a few relaxed portraits in the parlor.

Doesn’t this one look timeless?  Although Martin’s hip glasses kind of give it away that it’s 2008 and not 1914.

Liz had little details like this men’s room sign all through out the reception.  It even has their monogram on it!

I love the centerpieces…..

The rain lightened up a bit (didn’t stop), so I talked them into a little walk over to the tea house gardens.  Elizabeth’s dress was already soaked from the trolley ride over, so she had no problem with it!

It was STILL raining when we took this, so they just threw the umbrella into the bushes for a quick second while I shot it.  Looks nice, no?

Their friend Glenn from Sweet Tooth made the cake, so we had to get a shot of him with his handiwork.

Ok, so the rain finally did stop for a little bit, so we were able to get a few more shots outside, isn’t this place amazing?


Cotton candy, anyone?  Totally ate one on the way home.

And by the way, you people are killing me with the candy bars!  I only have so much willpower, you know.

Martin with their super awesome band, Night Shift.

Congrats!!!
