Modern Mad Men Photo Shoot at The Study at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut

Let’s face it- we’re obsessed with Mad Men! We love to fawn over Don Draper and his suave demeanor. Or maybe you’re more of a Sterling fan. Either way, we can’t help but desire to be any of its bevy of characters for a day. At least, I know I would love to rummage through their closet and emerge as Christina Hendricks. We felt The Study at Yale in New Haven was the most befitting scene for this, with it’s modern mid-century feel and in the heart of the city. Thankfully we had the fun, creative, energetic group from Raw Photo Design on hand to capture all the glamour!

When it came down to the styling, Beth Chapman from The White Dress by the Shore couldn’t have brought in anything more captivating! She has always been enthralled with the lady-like fashion of the 1960s. Gloves, full skirts, pearls, bouffant hair styles- the whole thing! She just adores it! Couple this with the work of Jennie Fresa Makeup and Skin Care and the W Hair Salon of Madison and we were ready to dine on a three martini lunch. We had Tony Palmieri from Datura, A Modern Garden on hand to push the envelope with his floral decor. Be sure to check out the second table we designed with the glass centerpiece. I absolutely ADORED the look this created- so simple, but so gorgeous! The icing on the cakes were the deco art inspired treats from A Little Imagination Cakes- delicious!

Thank you to all who were a part of this this shoot and to Wedding Chicks for featuring this on their site this week!

Libby & Keith: Today’s the Anniversary of Our Elegant New Haven Lawn Club Wedding in New Haven, CT

Today I am celebrating my one year anniversary. Right around this time last year I was toasting my best girl friends and getting ready to head to the altar. Although a year has passed, I still have crystal clear memories from the entire day. I remember the little things–like how nervous I got during our first dance because my shoe kept slipping off or the moment right after the ceremony when I got to peek inside my new wedding band and read the message my husband had engraved in it. And it will be hard to forget the big moments, like our vows. I remember looking at Keith and thinking, “Nothing else can top this.”

While our ceremony was special (Keith’s parents were married at the same church, and the priest married my parents years earlier) I didn’t neglect the very important party that followed. I picked The New Haven Lawn Club even before I stepped foot inside. I knew from looking at pictures that it was everything I wanted in a wedding venue. Those chandeliers! The black and white floors! The tiled mirror in the ballroom! It was the second time in my life that I experienced love at first sight.

The venue set the tone for the design: Elegant and romantic with vintage touches. I settled on a color palette of blush, apricot and champagne. I wanted the room to be decorated in soft, monochromatic tones and accented with gold and ivory. Elisabeth from Blush Floral Design created the beyond gorgeous florals for the day. She used lots of lush blooms like garden roses, peonies, ranunculus and sweet peas. I wanted to display the centerpieces in something different so my mom and I collected vintage cut glass cake stands. We found them in all shapes and sizes and I loved how they made each table look just a little bit different.

Keith and I knew we didn’t want a traditional wedding cake, so we decided to have eight! Sweet Maria’s in Waterbury helped us bring our vision to life–a cake buffet featuring confections in flavors like Mexican Hot Chocolate, Orange Creamsicle and Heath Bar Crunch. This quickly became my favorite detail from the day. Not only did it look pretty, our guests loved having so many flavors to choose from.

While our wedding design evolved mostly around cake, our lives are really ruled by pizza–mainly pizza from Pepe’s in New Haven. Since it’s our favorite Friday night dinner we decided it was the perfect location for pictures. Cynthia Brown got some amazing shots of us outside our favorite restaurant and throughout the entire day. Have a look!
