We were so excited to be apart of the planning for the grand opening of the newest event space in Connecticut– the historic Lace Factory in Deep River. It was a gorgeous and fun filled evening hosted by Bliss Celebrations Magazine and catered by Cloud Nine with nosh and nibbly from made to order mac n’ cheese to personal pizzas and sliders. Guests road on the antique Essex Steam Train and were greeted with champagne alongside the newest line of gowns from The White Dress by the shore, Ivy & Aster.

We transformed the raw, industrial style space with gorgeous lounge furniture, custom pillows, driftwood furniture, draping and chandeliers from Ryan Designs. The evening’s plighting and entertainment was provided by Rob Alberti Special Events. We brought in a gorgeous black and white checkered dance floor from Connecticut Rental Center and bright citrus orange linens from Rentals Unlimited.?Datura: A Modern Garden created artistic centerpieces using floral, greenery, rock, moss, and other interesting pieces. Tony even suspended tropicals from the ceiling! Coral Pheasant designed a beautiful e-vitation for the event.

The Lace Factory is a gorgeous location for your wedding or event. With it’s raw, industrial space, the possibilities for a uniquely designed event are endless.

Big thanks to all our amazing vendors who participated and the Lace Factory for inviting us to join them on such a wonderful grand opening!
