Real Connecticut Wedding: Lisa & Marc in Greenwich | Part IV

So I am in love with Lisa & Marc’s purple and lavender reception. Purple is such an underused color and I love when brides use it (particularly because it is one of MY wedding colors!). L’escale added the perfect backdrop of elegance mixed with Parisian food. I love the white birch tree used to hold the table numbers (which are written in french), and the dainty silver chargers. The centerpieces are so lovely too, with lavender roses, white hydrangea and ranunculus.

For favors, Lisa and Marc gave out customized Hershey’s kisses in purple and chocolate covered pretzels. Yum! Guests filled up white craft bags that were personalized with the letter “L”, their monogram, which was carried through out.

Their three tiered wedding cake was covered in a beautiful lavender fondant with white sugar flowers and their monogram. Love it!

Stay tuned for more from Lisa & Marc’s reception!

What I Love

The intimate dining veranda swagged and drapped in white fabric, giving it a romantic and airy feeling, the wedding gown and suit that looks to be made out of the same bolts of fabric, the intimate family style table with lush roses and tall, thick pillar candles, and the different french country style antique chairs.
