Jubilee Events Featured on the Cover in the Newest Issue of The Connecticut Bride!

We are so fortunate to have been asked again to produce an editorial shoot for The Connecticut Bride Magazine. Inspired by the city of Hartford, we shot in several iconic locations: The Old State House, Gershon Fox Room, Society Room, City Hall, Mark Twain House, and Elizabeth Park. Beth Chapman of The White Dress by the shore styled six amazing looks featuring the world renowned and Connecticut based designer, Modern Trousseau. Tony from Datura: A Modern Garden created gorgeous bouquets inspired by each look, and Dana Bartone & Co. styled all the fabulous hair and makeup. We can’t wait to show you all the amazing images captured by Carla Ten Eyck. Be sure to pick up a copy of The Connecticut Bride on newsstands next week. But before you do– check out a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this shoot through the lens of the talented Jim Altieri of Vintage Cinema.

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

A Spring Inspired Tablescape Featured on Style Me Pretty

Bonjour or should I say Hola?! (where am I today, anyway?!?!) We’re back from Paris and Costa Rica and I can’t wait to share the amazing things we did in both places. Upon my return to Connecticut I noticed…. there are leaves on the trees!!! And flowers coming up from the ground. How wonderful it is to come home and see our giant forsythia bushes in bloom!!!

While away our fun, spring inspired tablescape we created at The Society Room bridal show was featured on Style Me Pretty! I thought there was no better time than to share this with you know as Spring is in full swing. We shared an awesome booth space with the incredibly talented Datura: A Modern Garden and Carla Ten Eyck Photography. Tony and I collaborated on this fun and whimsical set up with touches of pink, gold, and ivory.

Have I ever mentioned that Tony and Cat from Datura: A Modern Garden are complete geniuses? They created all the floral decor for our booth– including the branch and greens centerpiece “umbrella” that rained beautiful purple orchids down onto our tablescape. Gorg!! I love our little touches of cucumber water on the table and lemonade and apricot squares on the sweet table. We were inspired by spring and wanted to creative a festive garden party inside.

We had an amazing dress on display by Melissa Sweet, available at The White Dress by the Shore.
