Aug 30

Amongst a surprise display of gale-force winds and scattered showers, the whirlwind October weather forecasted for Sarah & Greg’s wedding day set a memorable stage. Nestled on the grounds of a family estate in Fairfield, CT Sarah & Greg’s stately wedding day was a stunning testament to their enduring love and creative ideas. Their wedding day reflected their love for one another and the careful attention they paid to even the most minute details.

Despite the best of plans, the team of vendors, as well as Sarah and Greg, were invited to embrace flexibility in the face of unpredictable natural happenings. The morning of the wedding, the ceremony space at the estate flooded, and blustering gale-force winds were potentially standing in the way of their outdoor ceremony. With quick thinking, team discernment, and a bit of laughter, Sarah and Greg transformed the estate’s driveway into their ceremony space, and the two were framed by the warm embrace of the home’s front doors.

The reception took place in a stunning white sailcloth tent, a choice that offered both elegance and a touch of whimsical charm.

Round tables were adorned with ballet slipper pink candles, which cast a warm, inviting glow over the room. Each table featured abundant flower centerpieces, overflowing with seasonal blossoms that echoed the fall blush theme.

The head table was a focal point of the reception, set with a series of bud vases, rectangular floral arrangements, and soft candlelight. Loose foliage added a natural, organic touch, completing the enchanting tableau. The combination of these elements created an atmosphere that was both sophisticated and inviting, perfectly reflecting Sarah and Greg’s description of their wedding.
