A Jubilee Event: Sandy & Mike’s Vineyard Wedding at Jonathan Edwards Winery in Stonington, Connecticut

Sandy and Mike’s wedding was a day that reminded me why I love my job so much; from seeing their vision come to life, to spending time with their adorable and funny families, I got to know the two of them like friends over the course of a year and consider them to be just that. It was a beautiful September evening at one of our favorite vineyards in Connecticut with one of the most incredible sunsets of the year. Surrounded by 80 of their closest family and friends, they exchanged vows amongst the vines and danced the night away under a romantically lit Sperry Tent. Sandy has undeniable style, and when she came to me with her inspiration, I instantly fell in love with her color palette. It was unique, different, fun, and colorful– and Elisabeth at BLUSH Floral Design really embraced all these elements. I have so many favorite details from this wedding but my absolute favorite was the quote on the program cover, calligraphed by our friend Elizabeth Porcher Jones, that read “It takes two when it use to take one.”

Sandy wrote about her wedding for Style Me Pretty and I wanted to share her perspective of the day…

From the bride...We had a small wedding of less than 100 people, as we really wanted an intimate evening with our closest friends and family. We chose Jonathan Edwards Winery because we are big wine people, and we thought the place had a great mix of Connecticut charm and outdoor elegance. September is the perfect time to get married there, as the grapes are almost fully grown, and the weather is mild. Since many of Mike’s friends and family members live on the West Coast, it was exciting to show them the beauty of New England. The natural, understated beauty of the venue also allowed me to design my own space from the ground up, not only for the ceremony, but inside the gorgeous Sperry tent for the reception. I worked closely with Candice of Jubilee Events to make my vision come to life and loved every minute of it. I didn’t want to go with the typical dark, fall color palette, and chose to mix pops of colors and textures. I have a real love for beautiful typography and had calligraphy strewn throughout the wedding. My Amsale “Dahlia” gown served as a great inspiration for everything, from the floral design and the wedding cake to the welcome bags I designed. We included a lot of thoughtful details that had special meaning for us as a couple. We had succulents throughout the space as a nod to Mike’s home state of Arizona and a tequila signature cocktail to represent our shared love for Mexico (I studied abroad there, and Mike lived there for five years). Robert & Kathleen Photographers captured our day so beautifully, and thanks to them and the rest of our wonderful vendors, we had a lovely wedding day!

And now, the beautiful images by one of our favorite photographers, Robert and Kathleen.. and the wonderful video by our friend Mike Cyr of Buzz Media Company.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to all our amazing creatives that made this wedding one of the most beautiful events we’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. I can’t stretch my arms wide enough to thank Sandy and Mike for letting me be apart of their personal history. Congratulations guys– love ya! XOXO

A Wedding Story: Saryn + David at the Guilford Yacht Club, Guilford Connecticut

Saryn and Dave married on a hot (!) July 4th weekend near the bride’s hometown of Madison at the Guilford Yacht Club in Guilford, Connecticut. We helped them plan a beautiful purple and aqua wedding with some fun and festive accents! We pulled in a vintage sea theme into their paper story and carried it through out the day. They had the talented married duo, Robert and Kathleen Trenske, on hand to capture all the gorgeous photographs below. Tom Morlock of Vantage Point Films was also there to shoot their video!

Saryn began the day at a family member’s home getting ready with all her bridesmaids, who each wore a different color dress in varying shades of purple and blue. Saryn wore the most beautiful Melissa Sweet gown, “Fern” and accessories from The White Dress by the Shore. Her dress was unbelievably gorgeous!!! A dream dress and she looked stunning. With Dana Bartone & Company on board for hair and makeup, the girls got all gussied and headed over to the Yacht Club.

Elisabeth from BLUSH designed their beautiful florals, from colorful purple bouquets dripping with green amaranthus to a white birch chuppah with clutches of purple flowers and flowing greenery. She really outdid herself and brought their color scheme to life. Little bunches of vibrantly colored ribbons were tied to the aisle chairs that lead to the chuppah near the giant flag pole. The ceremony was emotional, funny, and full of meaningful music— all the things that I think represent Saryn and Dave as a couple. The bride walked down the aisle to a beautiful Spanish guitar solo of Led Zeppelin’s “Over the Hills and Far Away…” We designed a gorgeous aqua program with pretty lavender ribbon. We had purple parasols available for guests to shield them from the hot summer sun, which was not only functional but also quite pretty! At the end of the ceremony, guests blew bubbles as Saryn and Dave recessed up the aisle.

Guests transitioned into a cocktail hour on the great lawn overlooking the marshes with pretty cocktail tables decorated by Elisabeth. Jordan Caterers had a wide faire of delicious passed food for guests to nibble on before it was time to be seated inside the ballroom and under the tent. Signature cocktails were passed and a lounge we created on the side deck was the perfect place for quiet conversation. The tablescapes were colorful and simple, with gorgeous high arrangements in shades of purple, green and blue on top of aqua crinkle linen. We had rolled hemstitch linen napkins and tied them with raffia for a sea grass look. They looked fabulous! Simple tented table numbers backed with aqua paper finished off the tablescape.

Saryn and Dave danced their first dance and enjoyed an amazing evening of delicious food, good wine, and amazing family and friends who flew from all over the US to share in their wedding day. John from Powerstation worked their awesome 80′s playlist and kept everyone on their feet for the night! Toward the end of the night we put together a festive and fun candy station, complete with jelly bans, Swedish fish, swirly pops and chocolate covered gummy bears to name a few. I loved how colorful and fun it looked— perfect for a 4th of July wedding. At the very END of the night, Jordan’s Caterer’s brought out mini sliders and milk shakes for guests to nibble on after a LONG night of dancing to great 80’s music!

The night ended with a sparkler send off…!

This wedding was also recently featured on Style Me Pretty. Amazing! Go here to check it out.
