Lindsay’s bouquet with soft pinks, purples, yellows and whites- roses, dahlias, berries and more- it had a romantic country garden feel to it.

Her flower girl’s bouquet with similar flowers in a brighter color pallette- yellows and oranges and pinks- was a perfect complement to Lindsay’s bouquet and the coral dresses the bridesmaids wore.

Lindsay is supremely talented, a graphic designer for a game company, a jewelry designer, a cake designer. She can pretty much do it all. And she certainly had her share of DIY projects. Including this beautiful necklace and the necklaces she game to her bridesmaids, each one unique.

She also made this special something for her hair.

The earrings however were an heirloom, something old.

Because they met at Hasbro and love games, their was tons of whimsy and playfulness in their day. Here, our groom’s boutonniere- with yellow calla lily- has a Scrabble letter attached to it. Happens to be an R for his name, Rob. The groomsmen all had similar flowers with their own letters.

The look of the ceremony continued with rustic elegance in fall shades.

Another DIY project by the couple, the ringbearer’s pillow with birch bark and moss.

The Garden House at Look Park looked amazing, warm, romantic, elegant. Then the names of each tables are names of games – Life is at the forefront.

They made a game of it, with the escort cards. Guests had pieces from the game on their name card. They had to match the piece to the game to find their table.

At the guests’ tables, a little entertainment- Trivial Pursuit: the Lindsay and Rob Edition.

Cake designed by Lindsay to match her chocolate brown and coral orange theme, as well as the touches of fall.

The printed pieces also stunning. No surprise there. Menu…

Invitation suite.

The sweetest touch: Lindsay and Rob created cookie mixes for guests to take home. We made one batch for their premiere and instantly became addicted. Out of this world delish!

Lindsay and Rob kicked off their wedding reception in the Garden House with an awesome first dance. Just the two of them at first….

Then the kids joined in.

And then more guests joined in with choreographed moves. And then more guests. A flash mob of awesome creation. And in the end, it was just Lindsay and Rob again. So fun!

Of course, Lindsay’s mom loved it and had to embrace her daughter.

Rob’s brother and best man entertained guests and Rob with one hell of a great speech.

It doesn’t hurt that he is actually a stand-up comic, but still he had his moments of seriousness.

Lindsay and her dad.

Rob and his mom.

Lindsay and her new step-son.

And Lindsay’s parents enjoying the party. Really, everyone wanted to be on this dancefloor.

And the whole family went up in the chair for the hora. First, Lindsay, then Rob…

Then their daughter and finally their son. He seemed to be enjoying this Jewish tradition.

I love that Lindsay had a chance to dance with her girlfriends too.

The party was wild good times with dancing….

And creative use of the game-inspired table names. (More on this bit of genious in a later blog post.)

Congrats to Lindsay and Rob! A fabulous day to begin a fabulous marriage!

Dave popped by Rob’s room at the Hotel Northampton to see how things were going there. He and his son (aka ringbearer) were finishing getting ready. Loved the tailored suits and ties.

Meanwhile Lindsay was getting ready with the help of Rob’s little girl (aka flower girl).

Separately they made their way to the Pines Theater in Look Park, where they would enjoy a first look before the ceremony. Lindsay was so excited to see Rob she couldn’t wait, so she peeked out at him (his back was to her) from behind the bushes.

Then she walked out and made her way down to him.

If you want to see a few more from this first look (which was sweet and fun), check out their sneak peek on our facebook page. Following the first look, we had a good bit of time to enjoy the park and create portraits. We started with a few in the theater. These glorious trees rise behind the stage.

Then made our way over to the kiddie train. We only had a quick moment here because there was a long line of visitors waiting for the train, but the bridal party was able to hop on quickly.

There is some absolutely beautiful scenery in Look Park; one of my favorite spots is by this river.

Playtime? Absolutely (and this is only the beginning).

A super sweet family portrait.

Our ringbearer was hilarious.

Quick trip to mini-golf before the ketubah signing.

The guests have started to arrive and the kids couldn’t help but play with the bubbles in the field below the stage.

A strong embrace when Rob’s son arrives at the chuppah.

Rob’s daughter spreading rose petals for Lindsay to walk on.

A grand entrance.

So here’s the part where being a friend to the bride and groom can actually present challenges. Rob and Lindsay prepared beautiful and touching vows for each other. I couldn’t help myself; I was in tears, just like everyone else.

After the vows.

After the kiss and the glass stomp, Lindsay and Rob dashed off! It was like all of the pent up feelings of the day were released in a physical expression of energetic joy. (And Dave nearly got run over- too funny!)

They were soon followed by the kids.

More to come from the second half of the day and all of their amazing details.

When the brides and grooms-to-be arrived with their families, they were shown to their table, where their personalized tasting menu awaited them.

Each table was decorated with a different theme and all of them were gorgeous.

Love the beach theme with shells and candles for this centerpiece.

I am such a fan of bright colors and especially love tropical flowers. Check out these orchids!

And something a bit more classical, various arrangements including calla lilies, roses, and candles, all in white.

She had her wonderful candy bar all set up, again all whites, a tribute to the winter season.

And the food and service, as always, were amazing. I love the pizzas and the mini-burgers.

Throughout the event, the wedding couples were serenaded with music by either the fabulous string quartet or the rocking band. They toured the grounds and had the opportunity to meet all of their wedding vendors. They could choose to talk with the florist, the fabulous cake designer, the ladies who created custom invitations, a videographer, a jeweler, an officiant, a tux shop, the folks from KISS Spa who will take care of hair and make-up and offer massages, and of course, wedding photographers.

An all around great day!
