Rick and Darren’s Swanky wedding
Are you ready for a 1920′s….Safari….Vintage…Earthy…French….Fall…themed wedding???? Well, then you are really “In for it”! In celebration of the Roaring 20′s, I thought it would be great fun to use some catch phrases from that era to describe this “Swanky” wedding!
Rick and Darren were the “Bees Knees”! Most would think their ideas and tastes were a little “Off the Wall”, but not me! I welcomed every quirky email I got from them…embraced them all.
The Ceremony took place in at Lion Rock Farm, a heavenly farm…seriously…heavenly…you’ll see why! Very intimate and sweet.
But, the reception…was the “Cat’s Pajamas”, under a tent in the courtyard of The Ragamont House Bed and Breakfast…which is where some of the inspiration came from.
Since I can not come up with the words to describe this fabulous affair..I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. Look closely for all the details…1920′s band that sings in French and other languages of love, a forest of lights, safari animal place cards and coordinating menus(Adrienne from Admire always brings it!), vintage and I mean OLD silver, etc etc I won’t give it all away…….
This is only a sampling of their wedding…there will be a TON more pics on my website coming soon……

Tented Garden Wedding
Tina and Brendan loved their home in the Litchfield Hills and thought it would be the perfect place for a garden themed reception…and it was! Not only was the local personal to them, but they had fun going to tag sales and flea markets to find the perfect country-garden containers for their centerpieces and accent creations decorated around their property. Sometimes when you let couples loose to gather their own containers, you can end up with really bazaar items…as you’ll soon see! It all came together beautifully, though.
I not only used garden flowers and locally farm grown flowers; most of the accent containers were filled with blooming plants! So much fun! Centerpieces were different on every table and were a mix of flowers and plants designed in gently used tag sale containers such as wooden boxes, vintage glass, galvanized pots, etc All to create the perfect garden centerpiece.
