October Wedding

In late October at the fabulous Four Seasons Ballroom in Boston we were part of a gorgeous wedding.  Although it was a gray New England afternoon the ceremony and following reception were anything but dreary.  The bride sparkled in a gorgeous ivory beaded Monique Lhullier gown while her bridesmaids looked classic in draping black dresses accented with pashmina scarves in vibrant autumnal tones.  The guests arrived to the ballroom and were ushered into a crisp white enclave complete with white draping orchids over the chuppa and beautiful harp music played by Felice Pomerance from Gilded Harps of Boston.  The first to walk down the aisle were the couple's three nieces who were by far the best dressed of the night in adorable white and black polka dot dresses.   After the beautiful ceremony the guests moved to Au Jour'Dui for a cocktail hour with a full sushi bar, gourmet sliders and delectable shrimp cocktail to nibble on.

A mere hour following the ceremony the guests returned to the ballroom but were astonished at the transformation of the space.  Everything from the color scheme to the lighting were changed.  The centerpieces designed by Winston Flowers were in deep purple hues that mimicked the bridesmaids bouquets and was a wonderful contrast to the classic white of the ceremony.  The cake by I Dream of Jeanne Cakes looked delicious and combined the two color schemes of the day.  It was perfectly frosted in white with silver accents that looked marvelous in the setting.  SOHO band of Boston kept the crowd dancing with classic hits as well as recent top 40 songs so that all who attended enjoyed themselves, we love weddings where everyone dances!  And in case the incredible band was not enough, Boston Photobooth provided guests with a nostalgic and fun photo session in the foyer.  The party continued into the wee hours of the night thanks to Kyle of Northern Lights who spun all the best songs in the Governors room.

As always the Four Seasons staff was unbelievable and Naomi Raiselle of GENERATIONS Cinema Stories  as well as Heather Waraska Photography were there to capture stunning video and images of the event.  Of course the decor, design and location were phenomenal, but what made this wedding so special was the love between the bride and groom and the two families that officially become one that night!

Mazel Tov to the bride and groom!
