Ambiance Luxe Wedding | New Haven Connecticut Wedding at the New Haven Lawn Club {Photography by Binary Flips}

Diana & Alex were married yesterday at a Church in New Haven, and their ceremony was so beautiful! I loved their pastor and everything she chose to say. After the ceremony we had their wedding reception at the elegant New Haven Lawn Club.



 
















 









Eileen Fogarty & The Very Best played both at the cocktail hour as a solo performer playing the piano, and as a full band at the reception. They were so amazing! The singers could sing anything from Frank Sinatra, to Etta James, and even Madonna! They were truly the best wedding band I have ever seen!

As the night progressed the lighting by Correlation Productions became increasingly more beautiful. We had such a great time! Thank you so much to all of our vendors, the photographers were Binary Flips, and I cannot wait to see their artful photographs and their interpretation of Diana & Alex's beautiful day. Thank you so much to Diana & Alex for asking us to be a part of your wedding day! We couldn't have enjoyed it more!

Ambiance Luxe Wedding | Manchester Connecticut Wedding at the Wickham Park {Photography by Erik Maziarz}

Sarah & Greg were married in Wickham Park, June 7, 2009. Their amazing photographer Erik Maziarz did such a gorgeous job on both their unbelievable Engagement Shoot and their Wedding Day photos. Let's start with some of their engagement photos.



Here are a few of Erik's photos from Sarah & Greg's wedding day.

Sarah had her hair and make-up done at Studio Mac, in Windsor.



Sarah and Greg's first time seeing each other on their wedding day. Erik set it up so that they could see each other for the first time in the Garden at Wickham Park.

We loved working with these two, they were full of positive energy and fun. Sarah and Greg are so in love! It doesn't get better than this.
Erik took gorgeous photos of the girls and all of our details. Our bride, Sarah, is a florist at Jordan Florist in Windsor CT. Karen and her team there did such a beautiful job with Sarah's flowers.
Sarah and her dad had their father and daughter dance inside Wickham Park's Log Cabin.



Sarah and Greg had their first dance as newlyweds inside our beautifully decorated tent.
In order to see closer views of any of these photos click the photos to zoom in. Don Anderson of Tasteful Productions kept the music flowing and the guests dancing all night!



Sarah's cake was one of the most fabulous pieces of art in a cake I have ever seen. We ordered a simple white swiss dot buttercream cake from Mozzicato's Bakery in Hartford, CT. Karen from Jordan Florist adorned the cake with Sarah's choice in flowers and dainty white butterflies. We set the cake on top of hydro grass and also used some grass to label the buffet items, which Rochelle worked on. Rochelle also created the lovely placecard arrangement and Sarah's placecard board.



Wickham Park is located in Manchester, CT. The Log Cabin is available for weddings and has an adjoining white tent for dinner. Most of the dancing takes place in the Log Cabin where the bar is located. For more information about the Log Cabin at Wickham Park, contact Rhonda. If you're interested in having your wedding at Wickham Park, we would love to work with you as well! We love this location!



Erik took a night photo of Sarah in Greg at the top of the hill where the Log Cabin is located. The Log Cabin overlooks the Hartford Skyline.



Visit Erik's Blog for more photos of Sarah & Greg's amazing wedding. Thank you so much to Erik, the Staff at Wickham Park, Jordan Florist, Tastebuds Catering, Tasteful Productions DJ Don Anderson, and all of Sarah & Greg's vendors for making their wedding day so special. Thank you so much to Sarah & Greg for hiring us to make your wedding day complete!

Ambiance Luxe Wedding | Waterfront Connecticut Wedding at the Amarante's Sea Cliff {Photography by HK Photography}


 
We were so happy with Amanda & Bill's wedding this past Sunday at Amarante's in New Haven, and according to Amanda & Bill, so were their guests! Amanda's classic, tuscany-inspired color palette of reds, whites, and black was beautiful and traditional. Candi, owner of Candi's Floral Creations, designed these beautiful modern arrangements and bouquets.



This low centerpiece was a hit with all of the guests, and they were all taken home at the end of the evening. We covered all of the tables with rose petals and votives for a unique and romantic look. The ceremony was beautiful too, and I can't wait to see the photos from Hubert and Alka of HK Photography.
This view is from behind the sweetheart table where you can see the tall arrangements in the background. Since Amanda & Bill are musicians, their song choices were impecable! We had a great time dancing and mingling with all of their guests. It was also funny that Bill had been a previous music teacher of Lyssa, who was working on their event with me.
Instead of wedding favors, Amanda & Bill decided to make a donation to the East Haven Food Pantry. We placed the donation favor cards at each of their guests seats at the reception. The pattern I chose for the bottom of the favor card and for the table numbers truly matched Amanda & Bill's style! Amanda was wearing a red and white wedding dress, and Bill had a beautiful shirt with a similar red and white pattern. I can't wait to see the photos of the bridal party from Hubert and Alka!


The wedding cake was designed and delivered by Creative Cakes by Donna out of Haddam, CT. She did a beautiful job on the cake, and it was absolutely delicious! Amanda & Bill cut the cake to "When I'm 64" by the Beatles, one of my favorite cake cutting songs.
At the end of the night I wanted to take a fun photo of Amanda's gorgeous red shoes, so I set them up in front of her awesome bouquets. Candi did such a beautiful job with the flowers! Thank you so much to Amanda and Bill for allowing us to be a part of your wedding day! We are looking forward to seeing the rest of your photos! Stay tuned for our major site re-model showcasing full galleries of our favorite wedding. It is in the works and coming soon along with a total blog re-model as well. We can't wait!

Ambiance Luxe Wedding | West Hartford Connecticut Wedding at Barcelona Restaurant

Melissa and Angie flew into Connecticut from Michigan to have their beautiful wedding at Wickham Park in Manchester, CT. We had the ceremony in the Lotus Garden, after weeks of June rain, all 6 of their guests fit perfectly in the Pagoda overlooking the pond and fountain.


Here is a candid shot I stole of Melissa & Angie after the ceremony. Candi from Candi's Floral Creations made their gorgeous melon calla lily arrangements for the ceremony which we also used at the reception. They were simple and stunning, modern and fun! After the ceremony we traveled to Barcelona Wine Bar in West Hartford for an intimate reception with unbelievable food.



Barcelona was kind enough to close off the main dining room so that we could have the loft and the surrounding space all to ourselves. The striking reception location was an instant hit with all of the guests.

We used Candi's beautiful arrangements to flank Melissa's bouquet at the dinner table. We had a delicious food selection that Melissa & Angie created with Maggie from Barcelona including Lobster Risotto, Filet Mignon, and the most amazing Tapas. Every bite we took was sheer heaven!
After the wedding, Melissa & Angie went on a romantic tour of Cape Cod and Boston before returning home. The wedding was truly unique and absolutely perfect. Thank you Melissa & Angie for letting us plan your wedding. We loved every minute of it!
