Molto simpatico–that’s what Hollen and Adam are–they just are a couple and complement each other so well.  This pair who’ve dated since the 10th grade were married outside at Adam’s grandmother’s home on Long Island Sound in Branford CT overlooking the village of Stony Creek.  That’s where some thirty years ago Adam’s parents were married (and his grandparents share the June 16 wedding date as well).  I can see a string of beautiful weddings here well into the future.

Beforehand Hollen and Adam shared a first sight at the Madison Beach Hotel and grabbed a few pics with their furry child, the loveable Yellow Lab Brody.  Brody figured big in this wedding, with Adam’s cool silver Lab cufflinks and the signature drink, Brody’s Breeze. As fellow Lab “parents” we totally understand!   Onto Branford, which was the ideal setting for a seaside wedding with a dock extending over the water offering views of the Thimble Islands and a Sperry Tent gracing the lawn.  Inside, the beyond gorgeous flowers from Blush Floral Design in soft pink, yellow and white decorated the tables named for their special places from Paris and London to Mt. Snow and Santorini.

Hollen and Adam looked great, with Hollen in her Modern Trousseau dress from White Dress by the Shore and make-up by Jennie Fresa.  Many cool details in grays and pinks from the parasols to all the beautiful paper–invitation, menus and programs–from Mr. Boddington’s Studio.  A perfect planning job by Kristin and Lauren of Bellafare (and Hollen and Adam too)–and so nice to see you again!

A Thyme To Cook catered the wedding in style and our fave filmmaker Mike from Buzz Media captured tons of footage for his film.

Thanks Hollen and Adam!!  Congratulations!!  To view many, many more photos click here…

When we first spoke with Kyla and Caley, I found myself saying ‘Cayla and Kiley’ and had to keep straight whose name was whose!  Once we met, it all made sense–these two fit together as one so perfectly.

Their choice of Montauk and its new cool Sole East Resort really matched their wedding’s relaxed & real feel.   Of course, islands have unpredictable weather, so everyone geared up for an under-the-tent wedding as it poured down in the morning.  In the span of 30 minutes it all changed, however, and Kyla and Caley got their super-sunny outdoor wedding and cocktail party off without a hitch.  Just lots of good vibes all around, and, as Kyla’s mom noted, this wedding has gone down in history as “LoveFest 2012”!

Onto the reception where all the kids gathered to sing “Kyla and Caley” (written for the occasion and set to “Hey There Delilah”) with the refrain “Ohh Kyla and Caley” then everyone hit the dance floor to the music of Hank Lane’s Dane Wright band.  We’ve seen many bands–these guys truly stand out for their rapport, sound and energy they pour into their performance.  As for fashion…Kyla looked great in her Alix & Kelly wedding dress (with all the bridesmaids in individual blue dresses) as did Caley in his  J. Crew suit and Thomas Pink ties for himself and groomsmen.  And the beautiful roses, hydrangeas and other flowers came from Colony Florist from Greenwich CT

Great families and a wonderful wedding!  Congratulations and thanks so much Kyla and Caley and your families!  Click here to view many more pics…

Montauk NY is less than 60 miles as the crow flies from our home in West Hartford but it’s a wonderful world away–and a great spot to get married!  We loved every part of Kyla and Caley’s wedding last weekend at the cool Sole East resort….here’s a sneak peek from their wedding day with many more coming soon.  Suffice it to say, a weather miracle occurred last Saturday when Kyla and Caley actually got married outside in the brilliant sunshine!  A huge Congratulations to Kyla and Caley….and cheers to you guys down in Nevis…enjoy your honeymoon!!
