Real Wedding: Jean & Bill at Squantum Association

For our last wedding of 2013, we had the pleasure of working with Jean and Bill Dolan on their amazing ceremony and reception at Squantum Association on November 30th. Upon meeting the couple, it was clear to everyone around them how in love they were! Their love radiates and can light up any room; we knew it was going to be a beautiful union.


It was a gorgeous, crisp, fall day outside and the ceremony was held facing the water during the sunset. 

Jean is a musician, so it was essential that their music played an important role throughout the day. The ceremony processional was timed perfectly to a song played by the New England String Quartet; it was a great personal touch.  


The ceremony had many other personal touches such as a Musical Mediation and a unity candle ceremony. Jean and Bill also brought tears to the eyes of their guests when they said a Reflection towards one another, that were so beautifully written and very well said. 

As the evening progressed, guests walked over to the Bakehouse; an incredible room on its own but with the help of the gorgeous flowers provided by Stoneblossom, the amazing cake by Confectionary Designs, and decor that they chose, it was a truly elegant event.



 During the reception, music was provided by the band Total Groove, which was a total hit. Guests danced all night and had a wonderful time.


The evening was a beautiful reflection of their love for each other and we are so glad we could be apart of it!

~Wedding Question Wednesday~ Frame Tent vs. Century Tent

~Wedding Question Wednesday ~ Our New Weekly BlogPost!  A chance for all couples and/or wedding goers to get some real answers on some real life wedding situations. 

This Week's Question: What are the pros and cons of a framed tent v. a century tent?

Answer: Century tents are more commonly used for weddings, and are more aesthetically pleasing. They have graceful peaks in their structure which not only is more attractive, it is the key element in the tent's strength. Century tents can to uphold against winds up to 70 MPH and can be decorated with many types of lights and draping.  However, frame tents, which are just structured around frames on their perimeter, tend to work best when there is little anchoring is available.

~Wedding Question Wednesday~ Receiving Wedding Registry Gifts for Christmas

~Wedding Question Wednesday ~ Our New Weekly BlogPost!  A chance for all couples and/or wedding goers to get some real answers on some real life wedding situations. 

This Week's Question:  Are wedding thank you notes expected if a Christmas gift comes from the registry? Are you expected to not use the gift until the wedding?  (I've read that shower gifts should not be used until after the wedding). 


Answer: If you receive a wedding gift from your registry at Christmas, the same rules of etiquette would apply as if you were to receive one in the mail before the wedding.  You should still send a thank you note and it should be sent one-two weeks after it’s received.  As for using gifts, you can absolutely open them and use them – your guests will love knowing you are happy with them and you can even mention that in your thank you note!
