Rustic Barn Wedding

Some weddings are just so pretty, it’s almost impossible not to smile. This is one of those weddings. With touches of rustic, DIY, and a soft and oh so sweet color pallet, this is, without a doubt, the perfect mix of chic, elegant, and fun. From the photographer: Rebecca and Brendan’s wedding plan started with the search for the perfect venue. Though originally searching in Cape Cape, because Brendan was raised in Pittsfield, MA. When they came upon the Bucksteep Manor, both Rebecca and Brendan fell in love– it was the perfect combination of relaxed and rustic. Bucksteep, with its many charming traits boasted not only a place to host the ceremony and reception, but also comfortable lodgings complete with cozy fireplaces for those friends and family traveling from afar. The style of the wedding was a beautiful blend of contemporary hues, DIY details and rustic touches. With an elegant palette of cream, butter yellow, grey and creamsicle orange accented with tawny champagne tones, the décor of the reception and the wedding party’s attire was a pure vision. Bridesmaids were each encouraged to select a unique ensemble that complimented the chosen palette. Armed with plenty of inspiration thanks to pinterest, Rebecca rallied her friends and family to help with the transformation of the barn and tent. A barn wall was glittering with vintage mirrors collected by the bride. Each table was graced with a carefree mason jar of hydrangeas, freshly cut from both a neighbor and the mother of the bride’s gardens. Rebecca’s mom strung and hung all the fairy lights. Rebecca, who is a DIY maven, wanted to add a little whimsy and created some fabric garlands and strung pom poms to hang from the ceiling. The hand lettered menu and personalized succulent favors added to the DIY theme. With an amazing spread of tasty entrees thanks to Brennans catering and a relaxed grounds keeper, the whole wedding weekend was an absolute dream.
