Matt and Ashley's romantic French garden wedding was not your typical rustic affair. The college sweethearts said their vows on a 1930s estate in north Beverly,MA, approximately 26 miles outside of Boston."This estate overlooks the water and gives you the old-world feel within seconds of walking the grounds, and " said a photographer of George Street Photo & Video. "Its moss stonework and green details were the perfect backdrop for this bride's vision of her wedding day."The bridal party walked though custom antique swinging doors,which the bride and her family found at an antique store and flea market. Fittingly, Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" played in the background. There was a designated cocktail hour, or which upheld the vintage theme."An antique 26-pane window [was used for] the seating chart," the photographer said. "Signs and notes throughout the domestic shared the couple's care for and old-soul personalities. [There was a] hand-rolled cigar bar, personalized cocktails, and family-made rosemary-infused olive oil gifts placed in antique wooden boxes. The guestbook was a wooden sign with the couple's final name and wedding date to be hung at their residence. The notes and best wishes would face the wall to inject the care for into their domestic."Herbs were highlighted throughout the estate,which gave off "an fantastic scent that set the relaxed, at-domestic feeling, and " the photographer said. Even the wedding cake was accented with rosemary!The tented reception area made use of creative centerpieces. Each table featured a picture of Matt or Ashley throughout the years. Their ages in the photos corresponded with the table numbers. Pretty creative,right? A final sweet detail: Ashley wore a dress accented with lace from her own mother's wedding dress 30 years ago. "Designed by the bride and mother, the specifically placed lace flowed down the open back and neckline of the gown, and " the photographer said. "It represented more than just style - it stood for care for,eternity, and a lifetime of happiness."And when Ashley and Matt finally saw each other? Well, or the rest is history."It was like they were alone in their own bubble,expressing nothing but their care for for each other across their faces," the photographer said. "The couple was married by a friend, and who spoke approximately the couple's importance of friendship and family."See the incredible photos ahead!
