A Jubilee Event: Christina & Doug, A Nautical Affair in Old Saybrook, CT

One of the happiest couples I know, Christina and Doug, were married this past summer on July 2nd, where the weather was beyond perfect as they celebrated with their guests at the Old Saybrook Point Inn and Spa. What can be said about Christina, Doug, and their families? They had a wonderful amount of love between each other and could not wait for this wedding! Nothing in the world could have stood in the way of their bursting excitement, shown through every moment and every detail. The anticipation for this day was so contagious that no one could help but smile from ear to ear in their presence!

A big thank you goes out to the always lovely Jennie and team from Jennie Fresa Beauty Library as Christina and her girls looked stunning!! Wait until you see all of the flowers Yumiko and her team at Hana Floral Design created-breathtaking! How romantic is Christina’s bouquet?!

A Wedding Story: Melissa & Pete at L’escale at the Delamar Hotel, Greenwich Connecticut

Melissa and Peter were married on a chilly November evening in Greenwich on the harbor, with a beautiful vintage / deco wedding style with some modern elements. In a color story of crisp white, blue, and silver– they warmed up their palette with shades of amber and orange.

Their ceremony was held in a local church with 200 of their closest family and friends. Melissa wore a stunning Claire Pettibone dress with a gorgeous lace back. Her bridesmaids were beautiful in state blue j.crew dresses and jewels. Datura: A Modern Garden created a stunning bridal bouquet, choosing white paphiopedilum orchids which were so fresh and perfect, accented with only a single green trick dianthus at the center and a few spirals of grass at the base. The bouquet was wrapped with fabric from her mom’s wedding gown. For her maids, Datura chose bronze cymbidium stems with uluhe fern shoots and grass.

The altar was dressed with two massive 14′ tall fall foliage trees at their autumn peak with Moroccan lanterns strung from the branches. The aisles were lined with fresh autumn leaves and accented with over sized lanterns and nearly 200 candles, designed by Datura.

Melissa and Peter’s reception was held at L’escale, a world famous restaurant in downtown Greenwich with the most delicious french food! They took over the entire restaurant, where guests dined in a room filled with thousands of candles and gorgeous long and round tables with two centerpiece designs: a white orchid and candle component composition in slender stemware along with gathering vases with an art-deco style branch centerpiece strung with white vanda orchids and votives in blown glass globes. For their sweetheart table, Datura designed a custom branch cascade with willow and orchids.

We used a mixture of gorgeous La Tavola Linen in the Andalusian in Silver and Nonius in Silver accented with a deep grey pintuck. Their napkins were Dupionique Iridescence in New Moon were folded horizontally across silver beaded chargers with a deco designed circular menu card.

They had an incredible lounge that guests enjoyed toward the end of the evening! L’escale’s long banquets were lined with silk pillows in varying shades of silver and blue, silver pewter chiavari chairs, and mirrored coffee tables. We created unique lounge vignettes with white leather tuffeted ottomans and mirrored coffee tables, along with a velvet tuffeted couch. Datura created varying centerpieces in square mirrored vases and round glass bowls. We lined the patio with hightops in the Nonius Silver and draped the edges of the patio with fabric and uplighting.

Guests danced the evening away to a sick band from Vali Entertainment and a photobooth by Carla Ten Eyck Photography! Check out the gorgeous images below by Katie Slater and after your finished, head over to Vantage Point Films to check out their highlight reel!

Melissa– Pete– thank you SO much for letting me be part of your wedding day. I miss our daily emails and planning pow-wows. I am so happy for you both and wish you all the very best things that life has to offer. XOXOXO!

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.
