Last February we collaborated with
Jessica’s Country Flowers on a winter wonderland inspired wedding that was also a photo shoot specifically for
Style Me Pretty. Jessica pulled together a pretty mean all star cast of contributing vendors and the wedding was an incredible execution of intermingled talents. Imaginations ran wild as we all thought of ways to make our couple’s wedding beautiful, unique and most definitely a winter wonderland.
Katie and her maids began their morning getting ready at
The Society Room, which has the most beautiful and welcoming bridal suite. Katie wore
Watters gown that was so detailed and fluttery, just exquisite. Katie’s dress inspired her incredible sweet pea and garden rose bouquet that Jessica totally knocked out of the park, accented by a fabulous
Regina B. broach. The girls in metallic eggplant cocktail dresses and champaign bejeweled shoes looked absolutely gorgeous. Katie and Alan had their first sighting at the
Old State House, and then shots were taken around Hartford, including the majestic City Hall. How glamorous are our couple walking in the snow lined street???? Love it!
Katie and Alan were married on the first floor of Society Room flanked by two of Jessica’s signature branchy arrangements with orchid garland and tiny votives.
Sixpence For Your Shoe provided all the stationery and we hung all the ceremony programs from chairs for symmetry. The mood was exceptionally romantic as they pledged their love to one another forever.
The reception was a glorious mix of rustic wood, white flower and crystal admist the old world grandeur of the two storied ballroom. Tables were dressed with an ivory shimmer linen, while napkins were adorned with an eggplant ribbon and broach accent. Table numbers were mismatched silver vintage frames, inspired by designs on the couple’s stationery. Centerpieces were a combination of all white fluttery blooms overflowing low fleur des lis containers and atop more rustic tall wooden "trees" made of recycled wood. Simple yet beautiful sweet pea, calla and hydrangea arrangements were in every nook and cranny you could possibly put them; our favorite being stacked on the lit mirrored backed bar that seemed to glow. Escort cards were hung on a crystal draped Manzanita branch arrangement that dazzled like a chandelier. A fondant cake with snowflake and crystal detail stood on top of a silver custom stand, accented by ribbon and broach. Guests feasted via a formal sit down dinner and following, a New York DJ kept the dance floor packed with modern beats. Late night guests treated themselves to an extensive all white candy bar and white chocolate dipped candy apples. Vintage inspired custom linen napkins were a sweet accompaniment to the evening’s goodies.
Katie and Alan, you are among the kindest and most in love couples we have ever encountered. Being a party of your day, from design to execution was a pure privilege. We also thank all of the vendors involved for inspiring us both on this project and many others going forward. It was a pleasure to work with you! Last but not least, if you haven’t already, please see our end result here on
Style Me Pretty!
