The Berkshires is a lovely region of western Massachusetts.  The old historic towns with quaint B&Bs against the backdrop of colorful leaves is quintessential New England in the fall.

The Save the Date (STD) announcement was mailed in February and the Invitation was mailed in August.  The primary colors were copper and ivory though I incorporated a little turquoise in the STD, as well as an image of the month of October with days 1, 2 and 3 circled and highlighted.  The invitation included inserts with travel arrangements and a tentative itinerary and were embellished with gorgeous copper ribbon and fall leaves.  The birthday girl was very pleased.

The birthday girl wanted a private room for each guest which narrowed the list of Bed & Breakfasts. The Hampton Terrace B&B was ultimately selected for it's location, walking distance to town and friendly innkeeper, Stan, as well as the Common Room (top left photo) in the Carriage House (one of the suites bottom right photo).  I envisioned late night chats in this cozy room and the birthday girl agreed.

The weekend intinerary included a casual dinner on Friday night; a leisurely breakfast on Saturday morning before a Zipline Canopy Tour, which is a 3-hour exhilerating adventure through the trees, followed by a private birthday dinner at Prime Lenox; and relaxing spa treatments at the Cranwell Resort & Spa and shopping at the Prime Outlets before departing on Sunday evening.
