Jessica and John – April Wedding

April 27, 2019 By Wendy Leave a Comment

I’m obsessed with Jessica’s dress! Late April is the perfect time for a gorgeous and green background! Rebecca Stone was the photographer for Jessica and John’s wedding. I had promised them perfect weather and they got it! Jessica’s therapy dog was trimmed and gorgeous for the ceremony. The wood arbor had plum and cream silk decor provided by the 1812 Hitching Post.

We used plum and cream lace to decorate for the reception and they gave apple butter in mason jars for party favors. The “almost” naked cake was provided by the 1812 Hitching Post bakery.

My favorite photo is of the S’mores on the firepit – Yum!!!

Tierney & Matt – November Wedding

November 24, 2018 By Wendy Leave a Comment

The autumn colors of early November were the gorgeous backdrop for this memorable and emotion filled wedding.

The arbor was decorated with simple autumn leaves. The bride made a dramatic entrance to the lower field through tulle draped trees. The couple tied a God’s Knot during the ceremony. Guests signed quilt squares for the “guestbook.”

The dining tables had navy tablecloths with silver overlay. Centerpieces were submerged orchids with floating candles in a vase wrapped with pearls on a mirror also surrounded by pearls. The couple brought home brew for their guests with custom labels from engagement photos.

From the day I met them, Tierney and Matt were so sweet and kind and loving to each other and to me. Their friends and family were all the same way. This is the kind of wedding that reminds us of the powerful commitment of marriage.

Wendy and her team at the 1812 Hitching Post are talented professionals who helped us design and carry out the perfect wedding. My husband and I fell in love with the beauty of the location the first time we visited and it provided a vivid backdrop to our celebration. Wendy was an amazing partner in the planning process, even though I was doing much of the planning from a distance. Her passion for her work was evident in everything she did to prepare for the wedding day and she handled it with absolute calm and aplomb, ensuring that I considered all the little details I would otherwise have overlooked. The result was the simply elegant wedding we had envisioned from the start. Reverend Waldron officiated a poignant ceremony, Taylor took beautiful photos by running all over the place, and the food was delicious and worked around all our allergy needs. Wendy and her team made the planning and implementation easy so that my husband and I could fully enjoy the day. Thank you, 1812 Hitching Post, for helping us celebrate our love!

Ariel & Josh – November Wedding

Burlap and babies breath in mason jars provided the ceremony decor for this early November wedding with 60 guests. We decorated the aisle with silk fall leaves and the bride’s provided pumpkins and welcome sign. Guests signed a canvas and had cute blankets for the guests with a “in case you get cold” sign.

The reception menu included pulled pork, honey baked chicken, roasted red potatoes, mac and cheese, french cut green beans, and appetizers of fruit, asparagus in asiago, and crostini with pimento cheese and bacon.

The bride provide menu cards which we placed on white china plates and gold charges. Tables were decorated in burlap and lace.

Ashley & Jesse – October Wedding

October 28, 2018 By Wendy Leave a Comment

Ashley planned a 5:30 ceremony on the side lawn with dramatic lighting and colors for her wedding the third weekend in October. The wood arbor was decorated with burlap curtains, our white cross, and lots of sunflowers and fall foliage and flowers. The bride’s bouquet had fall flowers accented with peacock feathers. The bride’s processional song was “Arrival of Queen Sheba.” The couple’s children participated in the family sand ceremony and each son was presented with a personalized Bible to the song of “How Beautiful” by Twila Paris. The congregation of about 25 guests sung “Great is Thy Faithfulness” together.

The cake was butterscotch maple flavored with orange marmalade filling. Each table at the reception had a different overlay and centerpiece created by the 1812 Hitching Post. The colors used were burgundy, lime, chocolate, pumpkin, and yellow. The couple had a candy bar and hot cider bar with toppings.

Near the fire pit, the bride designed a “pumpkin patch” with hay bales and pumpkins for photos and fun for the kids. The bride sung a Barbara Streisand love song as a surprise to the groom at the reception. The couple spent two nights in the cottage for their wedding.
