Another snowstorm is on the way here in CT but just think…only 86 days until JUNE!  And June of course is prime wedding season…and come June 16th our clients Hollen and Adam celebrate their 1st anniversary. Last week their Branford CT seaside wedding was featured on Martha Stewart Weddings along with a post on the Martha Stewart Brides Guide.

Hollen and Adam are true soul mates with a love of travel and adventure…at their wedding the tables were named for their favorite trip locations…and you can see their photos from their Greek honeymoon on the Martha Stewart Wedding site too…nice shots!   A really nice couple, their wedding at Adam’s grandmother’s home overlooking Stony Creek harbor was meaningful and stylish…and lots of fun.   As always, it was a pleasure working with Kristen and Lauren from Bellafare wedding planners and a great group of vendors including Sperry Tents, Buzz Media video, Blush Floral Design, The White Dress by the Shore,  Jennie Fresa makeup and A Thyme to Cook.  Click here or the image below to see their article.

 

Let the games begin!  It’s been mighty chilly this past few weeks in Connecticut…so we all could really use a dose of summer.  Go ahead and crank up the heat and take a look at Alex’s fun Fairfield County birthday bash from last summer!

Wonderfully planned by Alex’s family and Elizabeth Allen, the party started in the yard with some serious competition in an assortment of games including the classic egg and water balloon toss and a hula hoop contest, accompanied by a raw bar from Nantucket’s Spanky’s Clam Shack and a great spread of charcuterie.  The “piggy” theme was carried throughout, with team shirts and prizes…topped off by a hand-turned pig roast by Chef Jeremy Stanton’s Fire Roasted Catering.  We’ll be blogging later in the week on these fab foodies based in the Berkshires.

The party shifted gears later in the evening for dinner under the Stamford Tent–beautifully decked out in bold orangey red by LMD Lewis Miller Design–including more games like pinball and basketball arcade…along with lots of dancing.  A super summery birthday…thanks Alex and your family for having us photograph your party!  To see lots more photos click here…and think spring!

Britt and Peter really put their stamp of personality on their relaxed & friendly vineyard wedding a few weeks back at Jonathan Edwards Winery in North Stonington CT!  They laughed, danced and partied with their families and big support system of friends from the ’08 Obama Advance Team to their Stanford and Yale classmates.  Support system is right…these guys held the poles of the Chuppah against the wind during the ceremony!

We met first at The Inn at Stonington in the Borough before heading up country to the winery, where the Sperry Tent was decked out beautifully in rustic elegance…a great job by the unflappable Candice Coppola of Jubilee Events.  White bird netting covered the nearly-ripe vines, making a dreamy setting for their outdoor wedding ceremony in the vineyard. Very “farm to table” vibe with guests enjoying Jonathan Edwards’ Stone Table Red–a nice blend of cab, merlot and petite sirah–and caterer A Thyme to Cook featuring food from Connecticut’s LoPresti Farms and Maple Lane Farms.  And the creative folks from Blush Floral from Madison CT provided the really nice flowers.

Loved Britt’s shimmery dress by British designer David Fielden..beautiful!  Look no further for a wonderful JOP…Mary Coburn–she’s so upbeat and really personalizes the ceremony.  For music under the Sperry tent, DJ Eko of the Love Junkies spun Stevie Wonder to the latest hip hop…not your typical DJ!  She raises DJing to an artform.  The night ended with a crazy-train bus ride to the afterparty at the Skipper’s Dock back in the Borough..fun to the end!

Thanks so much Britt and Peter!!  Take care and congratulations!  To view lots more pics click here…
