We had the pleasure of driving out to Lenox, MA (that’s Berkshire territory for you coastal dwellers) for Annette and Todd’s wedding a few weeks ago. Not having spent much time in western MA, I was bowled over by the plethora of drop-dead-gorgeous wedding locations hidden in those woods. This couple’s wedding spot, Seven Hills Inn, was no exception! A former mansion with Victorian flair, the Inn was the perfect spot for this New York duo's nuptials.
Luckily our good friend, the supremely talented Brooke McConnell of Hudson Photo, was attending the events as a guest and snapped a few photos of the decor for us. If you are in the upstate New York area and need personal or professional photos, she’s your gal. Brooke took many of the photos you see on our website and has a gift for capturing the spirits of young ones as well. We love her, so you should check out her site: http://bshudsonphoto.com/.
Annette adores Sunflowers and we used them prominently in the centerpieces.
The entire Inn is filled with touches of gold, so these brushed metallic squares filled with blooms in hot summer colors were the perfect fit.
The look was “sophisticated yet garden-esque.” Each centerpiece featured an appropriately dramatic “cage” of Curly Willow to give the arrangement an organic touch.
As a nod to Todd’s hometown of Saratoga (a horseracing town if you weren’t aware) we used silver mercury glass mint julep cups and greened them up with actual mint! They were the perfect accent to the small cocktails tables in the Music Room where the dancing and bar could be found.
And here’s a shot taken by armature photographer, Tom, who came along for the scenic ride. Passing storms with torrential rain pushed the festivities indoors, which is a pity, since they were supposed to be married in front of this stunning planter by Pam. Fortunately all the other ceremony floral were easily repurposed indoors.
Just a taste of Annette & Todd’s wedding for now. A little something to whet your appetite for more. Check back in too see their photographer’s shots as soon as we have them!
