We are gearing up for a BIG holiday weekend of weddings (Branford House Mansion, Saltwater Farm Vineyard and Connecticut River Museum in Essex), which start tonight with Deanna and Dini's rehearsal. This morning I was so excited when I opened my inbox to find their engagement session was featured on the Marantzs' blog, only the beginning of all of the fabulousness that is in-store for this weekend. The pictures from their engagement shoot are absolutely gorgeous!

So to all of our Fourth of July couples, Congratulations!!! Deanna & Dini, Kerry & Andrew, and Theresa & John! Looking forward to sharing all of their incredible details.

Tuesdays are for Mood Boards... Eclectic Summer Wedding on the Water

Connecticut River Museum, Essex CT

This board was created for Theresa and John's upcoming July wedding at the Connecticut River Museum in Essex. Essex is a quintessential New England town, with the most adorable main street, lined with antique stores, gift shops, restaurants, the Griswold Inn (a historic inn) and one of my favorite wine bars in the state. It is the perfect location for guests to stay, all within walking distance to the venue.

When I first met with Theresa she described the mood as whimsical and fun, with unexpected personalized details, eclectic, and crafty. Theresa is a fashion designer so I knew that we would have alot of fun in designing her event. The color palette reminds me of the perfect summer day, bright accents of yellow like the sun and varying shades of blue and turquoise like the water. Lots of detail, layers of texture, and vivid pops of color! Can't wait to share the pictures of their wedding with you which will be shot by the uber talented Dave Robbins.
