I’m so excited to share with you two major features in the newest issue of Connecticut Bride! Our amazing June wedding of Danielle and John, which was a true collaboration of the entire Jubilee team, made the cover of their Spring / Summer 2011 issue. This is the FIRST time Connecticut Bride has ever put a real bride on the cover! A testimate to the beautiful spirits and love shared between Danielle and John, and the beautiful photography from our dear friend, Carla Ten Eyck. Danielle’s gorgeous beauty was by Jennie Fresa, with fashion styling by The White Dress by the Shore. And that gorgeous, GORGEOUS bouquet? Elisabeth from BLUSH! You can see a recap of her wedding in our galleries, or, pick up the magazine to read their story!
Equally as exciting is the fashion spread Connecticut Bride asked our team to do for their magazine. We had been DYING to do a midsummer night’s dream styled shoot and thought this would be the perfect outlet. It was a bit challenging in the late fall to pull off, but so easy on the beautiful property at Lord Thompson Manor. We designed a shoot in rich colors of pink, green and purple and brought the mid summer by way of gorgeous flowers, garlands, and details. You’ll have to buy the magazine to see the images, but in the meantime, here are some fun behind-the-scenes! For the 4-page fashion shoot in Connecticut Bride our team was comprised of the best of the best! These behind-the-scenes shots are courtesy of Carla, Jazzy and Alison!

Jubilee Events Featured in Grace Ormonde Weddings Style New England Magazine!

I had the opportunity to co-design a tablescape with my colleages Tony and Cat of Datura: A Modern Garden this summer at the Ocean House for Grace Ormonde. We were sent an image of a beautiful water colored Elie Saab gown to use as inspiration– and this is what we came up with! We used a gorgeous mirrored dinning table with chargers made from floral in shades of blue, pink and green. Victoria Ghost Chairs were accentuated with white petal chair backs with rhinestone broaches. Posh Paperie created gorgeous triple mounted menu cards with a beautiful floral water color motif. Tony and Cat created this gorgeous orchid chandelier that we suspended above the table.

When our team got together and started to collaborate on our inspirational wedding photoshoots I had always dreamed of the day we’d be sharing with you our work in print. Never did we think that our work would be featured in 11 (that’s right, ELEVEN!) beautiful, full bleed pages of nothing but gorgeous images– but that we would also have our work on the cover of a magazine! I am so excited for our talented team, whose hard work and creativity are the reason for this post–
- Photography: Carla Ten Eyck and her team– Sara, Rebecca, and GREG LEWIS!
- Hair & Makeup: Dana Bartone & Co.
- Fashion & Accessory Styling: Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the Shore
- Floral Design: Datura: A Modern Garden
- Paper: Posh Paperie
- Confections: Lovely Lollies
- Shoot Styling & Tablescape: Jubilee Events with special thank you to our dynamite team– Diana, Amanda and Ashley.
Members of our team (myself included) would tell you that we really do this for the love of it– the love of creating, collaborating, working with our friends, being inspired, having fun. That’s the truth of it and it’s not a lie. It’s the reason why we do all these fun shoots, and because of that, it’s even more sweeter to have our work featured.
Our shoot took place at the gorgeous and world renowned Mayflower Inn & Spa which is, by the way, one of the most beautiful, amazing, and gorgeous places to have a wedding. We were inspired by winter, the color blue, toile, and interesting textures like birch, evergreen, yarn, and vintage paper. Tony created several amazing bouquets– one of which has been a steady contender for my all time favorite bouquet. Ever. And it’s featured! Beth created a preppy look that my heart continues to lust after– gorgeous dress, cardigan, sparkly belt, layered pearls. Yum! Posh Paperie sent me a box of THE MOST gorgeous creations– paper pinwheels made of vintage music sheets, die cut “lace” paper embellishments, menu’s that open with a surprise hidden inside, and the prettiest invitation you ever did see (also featured!). Lovely Lollies delivered delicious dessert table that we styled– filled with peppermint patties, homemade marshmallows, candy can sticks, french macarons, and SO much more.
Our team compiled two beautiful and inspiration stories, one of which you can see in the new issue of Gala Weddings (which is on newsstands now– I promise– I saw it in Big Y!). You can see our behind-the-scenes post from 2009 with stories behind some of the images that made it into the magazine. Carla also posted her perspective this morning– and Tony is sharing his gorgeous bouquet work with you on his blog today from the shoot.
There are also so many images left to share– so be on the look out for them in the next few weeks. A big thank you to Gala Weddings and our incredible team of friends and colleagues for all your hard work!

On Royal Street: French Inspired Photoshoot in New Orleans | Part III
For the last post of 2010 I thought we’d end on where our adventures began this year with the final installment from our New Orleans Shoot! You can see the beginning of our shoot here, and the second feature here. There were so many beautiful and gorgeous details — from the dramatic linen draping on the table, pinned with fabric, paper, and real flowers– to the amazing desserts designed by Sucre. I especially love the escort card display on someone’s front door shutters, which was styled on a whim as we were looking for the right backdrop!
Enjoy! xoxo
