An Elegant Country Wedding at Gunstock

Because of the large open space of the reception site, the desire was to create a more intimate space for the head table, highlighting the stone fireplace. When seated at the table, the tree with its overhanging branches, mimicked the feeling of being inside of an enchanted forest through the use of moss and wicker globes, soft copper wire lights, cascading strands of greenery, ninebark seed pods, and trailing green amaranthus. The tree itself was made entirely of foraged and hand-twisted bittersweet vines, lending to the natural feel.

The goal was to highlight the rich history of Gunstock Resort, the stonework inside the reception space, and the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Rather than opting for traditional wedding favors, custom bud vases add to the table decor and are meaningful keepsakes for guests to take home.Because of the large open space of the reception site, the desire was to create a more intimate space for the head table, highlighting the stone fireplace.

The theme selected was enchanted forest to bring all three of these elements together with an emphasis on wild, yet sophisticated. This goal was reached by bringing in local ceramics artist, Sarah Burns of Sweet Fern Pottery. Her work was a perfect fit due to her from influenced by the organic, ever-changing world around us.
