First of all — those shoes! Love! There was not a single detail missed by an amazing team of designers — Connecticut wedding planner, Ambiance Chic, and floral designer, Candi’s Floral Creations. From peacock feathers embellishing the bride’s bouquet to enchanted tree centerpieces, I think the only thing to do is just sit back and take it all in.

I am such a holiday snob so this IS my favorite time of the year! Ok, well last night my holiday cheer disappeared after struggling with putting up a 15-foot tree. I’ve always wanted a tall tree so we did it and I’m not sure I’ll ever do it again! But I must say, when it’s all lit up, it was worth the effort (maybe not the sap in my hair).
One of the things I struggled with when planning my own wedding was when to have it. I love the winter and wanted a super cozy event with snow falling and trees galore — however my husband hates the cold so I couldn’t sell him on it. But having a holiday event can be sooo much fun as there are so many decor elements one could work with. And basically several event spots already have decorations that you can incorporate without any additional cost. Just imagine a cozy fire, lots of candle light and lit trees, yummy hot chocolate and fun holiday cookies…it endless!
So what’s my favorite feature about this inspiration board? Of course all is perfect, though when I saw this engagement session by Rodeo & Co. for the first time, I fell in love. Maybe it’s the throwback Patriot’s knit hat? You don’t see it below, but to see the full engagement session, check it out on Rodeo’s full feature!
I hope you enjoy! {ls}

Are you ready for fall? I know, sometimes it’s hard to let go of the summer sun, but what’s more cozy than the crisp autumn air and the cozy, intimate feeling it brings? To get you in the mood, just check out the incredible design work by Connecticut floral designer, Datura – A Modern Garden.
Tony from Datura: Jenny and Tom were married at Jenny’s parent’s house in Connecticut – a stunning home that sits nestled in the trees atop a hill. For the ceremony, they chose a spot right in front of the pasture, hoping that the horses would come and be a part of the festivities. We decorated our custom iron arch with tons of southern smilax vine, then accented with purple kale and amaranthus for a natural, earthy look. The aisle was lined, from the house to the rows of benches, with our iron lantern stands. One crook of each stand held a floating candle, the other a simple design of kale, rosehips and amaranthus accented with cranberries.
