peeps you should know! :: ct wedding industry

This season has been a whirlwind of love stories, fun and a lot of hard work! As the 2013 Wedding Season comes to an end, the networking and end of season events start happening! 

A chance for all of Connecticut Wedding Industry's best to mix, mingle and meet with old and new friends! The first of many was the Bliss Celebrations Magazine event at Hotel Zero Degrees in Norwalk, CT. Great food and a great crew of Wedding Industry friends like photographers, Carla Ten Eyck, Eric Foley, and Bruce Plotkin, The Plumed Serpent Bridal owner, Alison Fischer, The Wedding Loft Ladies, Roseville Designs, Little Random Details and Amy Champagne Events as well as Shindig Lighting, Sperry Tents and my personal favorite, Flowers by Danielle!

Last week we were invited to The Knot Market Mixer at ROIA Restaurant & Cafe in the heart of New Haven, CT and are so honored to be in the running for 2014's Best Of Weddings Award! To be in a room with such talent and industry heavy weights is humbling! Plus we got to hang out with one my favorite friends and  NYC / Hampton's Wedding Planner Extraordinaire, Ashley Douglass Events.

More mingling with the best of the best to come and we are supah excited to start planning our 2014 and 2015 weddings!  

Thanks for reading ... recap of 2013 coming soon ...

All our love,

the heart knows when the search is over :: christina & rob

The Burr Homestead in Fairfield, CT is one of the most historical buildings in this town and boasts of rustic , vintage elegance. The perfect venue for this couples wedding! Filled with custom crown molding, chandeliers and rich, dark wood. The grounds ... luscious trees, florals, ponds ... a beautiful backdrop for a tent. 

Christina + Rob's wedding was definitely one to remember and we had an amazing time planning it with them! Every touch was so personal and from the heart, you could really feel their love story in every detail! Mad props to Christina + Rob for their DIY talents!

as two families become one :: sarah & mike

Sarah + Mike! Probably the cutest couple. Ever. Seriously. Working with these two really made you understand what "teamwork" meant. They were partners, each other's supporters and best friends. 

Sarah was so fun to work with and so creative during the whole process that I cannot take much credit for her Clam Bake by the Beach Wedding! She literally DIY'd everything from her ceremony programs to the mason jar escort cards, favors, wedding signage ... you name it! Sarah and Mike worked so hard on their wedding and it was super fun to help bring their vision to life! They wanted a fun and casual beach atmosphere for their friends and family to enjoy themselves. Winnah, winnah, lobstah dinnah!

Thank you to Vicki + Erik Souza from Vicki + Erik Photographers for capturing such amaze images!
