As much as I love lots of details at a wedding, I also have a strong appreciation for a couple who decides to keep their celebration small and intimate. Alyssa and Howard were married in her parent’s backyard surrounded by 20 of their closest friends and family. The attire for the evening was formal, so the men wore tuxedos and the ladies wore evening gowns and hats. Have I ever mentioned how much I love adore weddings?

Back at the reception, a framed image of a tree had everyone’s table number assignment and gave off the feeling of our own vast family tree. At each chair were “placecards” written on creek stones that we collected together on several trips upstate (we reside in Brooklyn). The candle pillars, table numbers and cake stands were all made by Edward’s father (we kept him very busy!) and everyone was able to take them home. We found our cake topper in an antique shop in New Paltz. We had a cake on each table as the centerpiece with scattered peonies, ranunculuses and seeded eucalyptus making each table scape unique. The cakes were delicious to anyone out there in the Albany area! Yay Crisan!

Thank you so much again to lovely ladies of Belathée for sending over this gorgeous celebration for a feature today. And to Alyce for sharing so many of the details behind her wedding. We wish you and Edward a lifetime of happiness and love!
We chose Sunny Hill Resort in Greenville, NY because ,not only did Edward grow up working there, but it’s also where we had our first kiss. The resort was the perfect setting because ,like us, it’s laid-back, quirky and warm hearted with a great nostalgic feeling (think Dirty Dancing) They opened the entire grounds in the off season for our guests only along with a welcome barbecue for the guests the night before.

Alyce and Edward’s lovely reception is coming up next!
I was absolutely thrilled when the lovely ladies from Belathée sent over the wedding of Alyce and Edward for a feature on the blog. Alyce read Once Wed while planning her wedding, so it was a real treat to hear from her and have the opportunity to share her gorgeous Catskills wedding with everyone today. More from Alyce…
I first met Edward (okay really just saw him) by chance when visiting my parents. He was playing music on the local public access channel and I swiftly looked up his band in the local newspaper. They were having a show that night so I decided I to go. MANY years after this moment, we were engaged! We married in a chapel in the hills of Tannersville, NY with all of Edward’s musician friends from past and present participating in the ceremony. The fireplace was glowing and every other chair had lace draped across the back. The wedding party walked into “Lion’s Mane” by Iron and Wine and my father and I walked into “Which Will” by Nick Drake. Then a duet of “If I should Fall Behind” by Bruce Springstein really brought me to tears.
The flower girls carried paper flower balls and the ring bearer carried our rings on a lovely cross stitch that was made by miniature rhino. I wrapped my grandmother’s necklace around my bouquet as my “something old” to keep her close. The bagpipe player was a gift from a friend and it really made a sweet ending to our ceremony. Being very music oriented himself, my new husband then performed a surprise song for me at the wedding. Finally, a rainbow appeared and I really had to pinch myself!
