Summer Wedding at Bear Brook Valley | Molly & Matt
June 23, 2023
Molly and Matt’s hosted a whimsical August wedding at Bear Brook Valley for their closest friends and family. Bear Brook Valley is a hidden gem tucked in the rolling hills of New Jersey’s greenest county. If you are looking for a venue with rustic charm and natural beauty, look no further!
Getting Ready
Picture this: the sun shining, the air buzzing with excitement, and Molly and her bridesmaids taking over the bridal suite. Bubbly was flowing, tunes were cranking, and the air was filled with contagious laughter and endless giggles. From hair and makeup transformations to heartfelt words of encouragement, Molly and her bridesmaids soaked up every moment, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
The bridal squad showed up ready to slay in an array of dusty blue dresses, the perfect choice for a summer wedding! These ladies knew how to rock their unique styles, showcasing their individuality and adding a touch of vibrant charm to the whole affair.
Molly looked absolutely radiant in a magnificent lace gown that seemed to have been tailor-made for her. The intricate details, delicate lacework, and captivating silhouette transformed her into a vision of pure elegance and grace.
Lastly, let’s take a moment to appreciate the bouquet. The bouquet featured anemones, ranunculus, and thistle—oh my! These exquisite blooms were the true stars of Molly’s bouquet, adding a touch of whimsy, sophistication, and a dash of wild charm.
Matt and his squad spent the morning in blissful relaxation as they geared up for the momentous occasion ahead. The men know how to rock a look that would make James Bond himself proud—blue tuxes with black lapels and bowties. A classic combination that stands the test of time and exudes confidence, charm, and a dash of old Hollywood glamour.
The First Look
With breathtaking landscapes, hidden nooks, and romantic hideaways, Bear Brook Valley is the perfect spot for an unforgettable first look. It’s impossible to look at Molly and Matt’s first look photos without getting teary-eyed! Molly’s wedding day look left Matt (and us) speechless.
The Ceremony
We’ve had the incredible opportunity to decorate the outdoor ceremony space at Bear Brook Valley. We worked with the couple to create an arrangement that enhanced the natural beauty of the lakeside ceremony space.
Unfortunately, the couple had to move their ceremony indoors due to the threat of rain. Our team and coordinators from Bear Brook Valley were able to quickly move and set up the gorgeous indoor space. Nothing could stop Matt and Molly’s dream wedding day from happening!
After the ceremony, the couple was able to take some portraits together on the beautiful grounds of Bear Brook Valley.
The Reception
It’s moments like these that remind us why we love what we do—witnessing couples infuse their special day with unique twists that reflect their personalities. Molly and Matt’s wedding was an absolute masterpiece, meticulously planned down to the finest detail.
We love it when our couples get creative with their seating charts and Molly and Matt had the cutest “party animal” escort cards.
From the elegant arrangements adorned with white, ivory, and lush greenery to the captivating farmhouse tables at Bear Brook Valley, every element created a dreamy summer wedding ambiance. Our team worked with the couple to create lush arrangements that embraced simplicity and sophistication.
Last but certainly not least, we have the wedding cake! This buttercream creation was adorned with intricate detailing and delicate flower accents and was a sight to behold. We almost (almost!) felt guilty cutting into it!
Matt and Molly, we are so happy that we were able to be a part of your special day! We wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness!
