erin didn’t grow up in a huge metropolis, but living just outside of a large city in upstate new york is enough to label her a city girl.  jason grew up in one of the largest agricultural districts in new york.  from different backgrounds, they both saw something in each other that would link the two of them together.  when things got serious between them, erin found the idea of living in a small town so appealing.  when they decided to get married, they knew it would be a fun and casual event filled with lots of country charm and whimsy.  dreaming of a wedding in a barn, they kept having a hard time finding a barn large enough to accommodate their gigantic guest list….  so they looked outside of new york and fell in love with a country manor in the middle of the berkshires.  they were very excited about the wedding turning into a destination event, and yet it was close enough to new york that all of their guests could attend.

the ceremony and reception took place at bucksteep manor in washington, massachusetts

erin chose her mother as her matron of honor

all of the flowers were arranged by frank gallo & son florist

the groomsmen wore brown tuxedos from choppa & son formalwear

the bridesmaids wore dresses from pacificplex

the couple exchanged vows in a gazebo on the grounds with a close friend as the officiant

the wedding theme was “a perfect pear” and the ceremony and reception area were adorned with grape vines and pears

guests left messages on pear themed memory cards that coordinated with the wedding invitations.  erin had custom pear candles made for each guest that also served as escort cards.

the wedding cake was made by erin’s aunt beverly.  erin printed and constructed vellum photo frames so that the candlelight could glow through the pictures.  each photo represented a special moment the bride and groom shared with their friends and family.
