Julie and Jason were married in a late afternoon ceremony on May 8th at Hartford City Hall. Their wedding blended different Christian and Jewish traditions and was a huge celebration among their family and friends. Julie’s color story was a muted purple, moss green and white with accents of gold. With their busy lives in D.C. we were so happy to help them coordinate their wedding back home in Connecticut where Julie grew up. In looking through their pictures as we prepared for this blog post, I couldn’t help but notice how excited, happy, and joyful everyone looked on this day. Julie literally beamed– and let me tell you– she has the most beautiful smile. And Jason… well, every time he looked at his beautiful wife, he beamed too.

The morning began with the both of them getting ready in Glastonbury at the bride’s parents home. I absolutely loved the gown that Julie wore, which was embellished just below her hip with a fabric flower, feathers and crystals. She wore a gorgeous cage veil with feathers… perfectly classic and vintage! Her maids were all dressed in purple strapless satin gowns. The groomsmen wore black tuxes with purple pocket squares– while Jason wore some sentimental Curious George cuff-links.

Julie and Jason opted to have an emotional first look prior to the ceremony.

City Hall is a spectacular place for a ceremony– especially for this vintage affair. Julie and her parents were driven to City Hall in a vintage rolls royce, which pulled up front just in time for her to meet Jason at the end of the aisle.

After the ceremony the two of them dashed down the aisle to awaiting congratulations from family and friends. Could there not be a more perfect picture above and below? Robert Norman! After the ceremony, it was off to the gorgeous The Society Room of Hartford to celebrate! The room was lit by our friend, Rob Alberti (who also kept the crowd on their feet all night long!). Julie chose a gorgeous moss green pintuck linen with black lamour napkins. The centerpieces were tall, classic white arrangements… perfect for the setting. Guests dined on a delicious meal, with a generous display of delicious desserts to follow. Jason loves pie– and so the miniature pie dessert table was created!

Their hora was certainly a lively one! We love that a lot of family members, both jewish and non-jewish got lifted up in celebration!

Julie and Jason– congratulations! It was such a pleasure to be with you on your wedding day and to be part of your personal history. You two are a perfect match full of love and laughter. We wish you a life full of just that! We’ve also been secretly stalking your new blog.. and think all our readers should check it out, too! So visit Julie and Jason’s journey through wine and food, aptly named, Wine & Swine.

A big thank you to Robert Norman Photography for the beautiful images!
xoxo
