A Fall, Apple Themed Wedding at Quonquont Farm in Whately, Massachusetts

It's a tale as old as time: boy, Jonathan Joy (28, an electrical lineman for National Grid), meets girl, Alexandra Tillotson (26, a culinary center chef and instructor for Whole Foods) at party and friends her on Facebook. Five years after their fateful meeting at a UMass Amherst party, Jon proposed in the privacy of their home. For their rustic, fall wedding the couple chose Quonquont Farm because "it’s absolutely gorgeous and was big enough to hold our large group," explains Alex. Instead of the typical barn wedding, they wanted the whole thing to feel rustic but still very elegant. "We knew we didn’t want to do the typical barn wedding with the mason jars, burlap and lace that you see everywhere now," says Alex. "We wanted to really transform the barn into this super-elegant, upscale space." They added glamour to the overall look with neutral shades of white and green and pops of gold. An apple theme, inspired by their October wedding date and their farm setting brought it all to life.
