I am so happy that Heather and Steven’s wedding at New Haven Lawn Club was featured so that more people can see it…..It was the quintessential Sweet Rustic Spring wedding!  It had all the makings…yellow, green and white, mason jars, burlap, twine, garden-style bouquets, antique wooden crates(that I have had for years!), tree stumps cake stands,(thanks to Hurricane Irene we had plenty of trees available to make these little buggers!) etc etc

Heather and Stephen were so involved with the planning, I loved it! The more detailed they got…the more creative I got!  I think there must have been 10 VERY long emails going back and forth one night……we were SO on the same page…it was RIDIC!  So much so, that after the wedding Heather’s sister emailed me to let me know how much I nailed their personality and she couldn’t believe how perfect everything was!  That was it!!!! The reason I do this!!!

I’m so thrilled that this  wedding was featured in Bliss Celebrations and was submitted by the awesome photographer Summer Street Photography!

You can see the full feature and read all about this special couple and their wedding right here on Bliss Celebrations,  but let me give you a sneak peek……

One of my favorite themes to design…Rustic Elegance during my favorite time of year…Fall!  There are so many natural elements to choose from and I love bringing “the outdoors in” by using leaves, pumpkins, birch, branches, etc etc   And it all paired so nicely with the elegance of New Haven Lawn Club!!!

To top it off Diana( and Justin!) were so fun to plan with….she trusted me to take her vision and run with it and I did! Even scouring the entire state for mini white pumpkins well after their season…and found them! Also got to use my awesome dremel and wood burner kits for some great detail and personalization!

I was crying when I received their thank you card……..Love them!

This wedding was so fab that it got featured in a prestigious wedding blog, Rustic Chic Weddings!!! Click the link to see the feature.  We were all very excited to find this out as this wedding was made for that site!!!

I love it when I can create without the pressure of it being a wedding…although I am very good under pressure…a creative shoot is just so much darn fun!  I love working with new vendors within the industry and being able to design styles that I don’t normally get to.

To my surprise, Melani Lust (the photographer) submitted the image of my bouquet to Westport Magazine and they featured it in November’s Issue.

Maria’s wedding is typical Organic – Earthy – Crunchy- New England styled wedding! So much so, it was featured in a high end coffee table book, The Art of Celebration – New England!

Maria had a true vision of her theme and together with Ambiance {chic} Wedding Designs, we were able to create her dream wedding!  Maria gathered some of the containers and elements herself;  Grandma’s vase made it’s debut, hob nail vessels were found at antique shops all along the New England shore, galvanized pales, birch stumps, and of course her obsession…. birds, birds and birds…and feathers!! We had fun marrying it all together with our creative additions.

The paper accents, designed by Admire Designs, really made the event intimate and tied everything together like a big YELLOW bow!
