jeanne & drew : : the mansion at turner hill, ipswich, ma

The Mansion at Turner Hill has been featured as a location in several major films lately, and it's easy to see why -- it's stately but intimate all at once, with lovely gardens and lots of hidden nooks to explore.

Jeanne & Drew's celebration at Turner Hill was lushly decorated in fresh tones of pink and green by the creative team at Ilex Designs of Boston (a special highlight: the escort card table, which floated the cards on clear lucite suspended above a bed of hot-pink carnations). An emotional ceremony was followed by a high-energy reception set to music by Men In Black -- seems like Jeanne & Drew selected their wedding party and guests according to their superior dancing ability (or at least enthusiasm!)

here comes the sun (finally!)

After a cool and rain-soaked June, the sun was an unexpected but very welcome guest at Gretchen & Tom's lovely seaside celebration at the Winslow Estate in Orleans, MA. The couple exchanged 'I do's' in an emotional ceremony under a lush floral arch created by Flowers By Fancy atop a hillside overlooking the ocean. The reception featured a packed dance floor, set to a high-energy soundtrack provided by Horns In The House.

Favorite details: the "chalkboard" wine coaster favors, which doubled as escort cards, and the stunningly detailed butter cream frosted cake by Creative Baking.
