Nautical Preppy Wedding Photoshoot in Essex, Connecticut for The Connecticut Bride

 

This past fall we had the fun opportunity to co-create and design a fun, summer editorial shoot for The Connecticut Bride Magazine. Having just come off our fashion obsession of nautical glam, we worked with our creative counterparts to design this fun, preppy, and dressed up version of nautical on the Connecticut shoreline! We worked in your traditional seaside color story– blues, reds and yellows– with a bit of sparkle, lots of stripes and a little kate spade. What I’m also excited about is half my summer accessories got incorporated into this gorgeousness! A huge thank you to our talented team who made the day so fun: Carla Ten Eyck, Beth Chapman, Datura: A Modern Garden, Dana Bartone & Company, A Little Imagination Cakes, Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design, and a HUGE thank you to our dear friend Rachel Edwards at Dreamscapes Design Group for not being just lovely and wonderful, but such a gracious hostess for the day!! An additional thank you to Alison Fischer of The Plumed Serpent in Westport for also participating in this shoot and lending her gorgeous gowns!

I just love this first look– colored shoes, colored jewels, those lockets (! which we all immediately purchased on the spot from Aquinnah and all now proudly own, and hope to not wear all at the same time, accidentally), striped puffy sleeved top, sparkly anchor bag…. love it all! The paper suite that Nichole from Coral Pheasant put together was spectacular. Sign. Me. Up. It was so well executed with so many fun little surprises– which I feel like is her signature.

Bliss Celebrations Guide Cover Shoot: A Dreamy Pink and Gold Inspired Photoshoot

I’m not sure you are able to handle so much pretty. I’m so excited to share with you some of the AMAZING images captured by Carla Ten Eyck at our Bliss Celebrations Cover shoot just a few short weeks ago. When Bliss contacted us to design a photoshoot for their cover they sent us a beautiful inspiration image of a woman pouring herself a glass of bubbly in a very 1950′s setting. We wanted to recreate that with a twist (of course!) for the modern woman looking to host a grand feminine soiree. What I love most about this shoot is how versatile it is– you can be inspired by the colors, textures, and details that our team pulled together for any kind of party– not just a wedding!

From the gorgeous Ivy & Aster gowns (and can we discuss that blush lace bolero?!) to the detailed and sweet paper from Coral Pheasant, this shoot has all the makings of what I love most! With a pink and gold color story, we brought in a lot of unique textures and shot this in a very raw construction space in downtown Hartford. In fact, it just so happens to be the first space our little creative team ever collaborated in (and was also on the first cover of Bliss Celebrations..!). I absolutely love Tony from Datura: A Modern Garden’s “classic” floral design. He made a container for our centerpiece out of boxwood (brilliant) and even created a mask bouquet for one of our models. Can you not see yourself toting a floral mask to your next party? I also love the boxwood trim that edged our gorgeous tablescape, which was overflowing with the prettiest cakes and macaroon tower from Confectionery Designs. The wide banded gold rimmed goblets to the individual raspberry trifles made for the most perfect setting. A special thank you to the amazing Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore who was our fashion stylist / director on this shoot and DD Nickel who is the artist behind the gorgeous beauty!

I want to extend a huge, opened arm hug to all our amazing vendors who prove time and time again that they are the best of the BEST! Be sure to pick up your copy of Bliss Celebrations Guide to see the images they chose from this shoot and head over to our galleries to see more!

A Classic Wedding Inspired by Jackie & JFK at The Bee and Thistle Inn and Spa, featured in Gala Weddings Magazine!

In honor of tonight’s soiree at The Bee and Thistle Inn and Spa to celebrate the newest issue of Gala Weddings Magazine, I wanted to share with you all images from the gorgeous photoshoot we collaborated on with our amazing creative team! All of us share a special love for the undeniably beautiful Jackie Kennedy Onassis and have been dying to work together on designing a photoshoot inspired by her classic and effortless style. At Anne Barge‘s market run way show, Beth Chapman and I saw “Jackie” walk down the runway and we instantly knew we had to plan a shoot around this incredible gown that Anne designed, inspired by Jackie’s original dress. It just so happens that our shoot took place on the anniversary of Jackie and John’s magical Newport wedding (not even intended!). We worked with our team to design a classic, yet modernized wedding in shades of hydrangea blue with soft and bright yellows.

Some of my favorite details from this shoot include the customized menus made out of gorgeous satin ribbon with gold foil engraving, the ghost chairs we designed with Datura: A Modern Garden that included inset calligraphy as a place card and boxwood trimming on the chair backs, the classic half wedge of pineapple that guests truly dinned at at Jackie and John’s wedding, the customized blue taffeta skirt and white collared shirt by Coren Moore (Beth’s vision that was designed especially for our shoot), the classic hair and makeup by Dana Bartone, and of course, my own personal Louie Vuitton suitcase as part of the going away look!
