The Commons 1854 Wedding, Topsfield, MA: Amanda + Jay

The rain held off at all the right times for Jay and Amanda’s beautiful wedding at The Commons 1854 in Topsfield! These two sweet souls are some of the kindest and most thoughtful people I’ve met, and it was such a fun day getting to witness them start on their journey of marriage together. I met the girls getting ready at Amanda’s house. She picked out the most beautiful details with mismatched pink bridesmaids dresses, gorgeous floral getting ready robes, and one of my favorite bouquets/dress combos ever. The bouquet had pretty light pink flowers with some darker pops of color – perfect for the start of fall! Jay and Amanda did a first look and some pictures at the barn across the street from The Commons 1854. It’s such a unique venue – you get the elegance of the venue itself, the rustic charm of the barn, and there’s even an adorable little garden. We also did all the wedding party pictures before the ceremony, and it was such a fun crew! The ceremony was outside in the garden and the most beautiful flowers were in bloom around it. The reception space was elegantly decorated with tall flower centerpieces and included some personalized touches from each of their heritages – like chopsticks as the wedding favor and a gelato bar for dessert. I couldn’t be more happy for this sweet couple! Here are some highlights of their special day!
