Classic Waveny House Wedding – Jubilee Events – Carla Ten Eyck – Datura: Modern Garden
Modern weddings with a touch of traditional style melt my heart every single time. As do adorable little ring bearers, precious puppies, and couples who are so in love, it’s beautifully obvious. And this Connecticut wedding has all of the above. On top of that, the affair was planned & designed by Jubilee Events, flora’d by Datura: A Modern Garden, and captured by Carla Ten Eyck. A couldn’t-get-any-better trifecta if you ask me. Click here for the rest!
From Carla Ten Eyck … Charmaine and Emanuel were married on a gorgeous September day. Their ceremony was held outside in the garden at the Waveny House. There was alot of energy throughout the whole day, and lots of smiles. The first dance was during sunset on the terrace at the Waveny and was just beautiful!

Modern Morris – Style Me Pretty
Modern Morris Winivan Wedding from Datura + JAGstudios
Having about the blackest thumb one can have, I am always so very, very impressed with floral design. I swear it’s magic – what these designers can do. This Connecticut wedding from Datura – A Modern Garden, brings me to another level of floral-awe with it’s completely different, completely cool designs. And I suppose Datura HAD to bring it to the table, because the rest of this love fest? Well, let’s just say it’s amazing, and that’s an understatement. The glamour, the style, the ambiance, the ring bearer – every single little detail captured by JAGstudios has got me giddy with the cool-ness factor. Can one be giddy over cool? I guess I should play it off an say, I’m down with the cool-ness factor. But I just can’t help it. I love this wedding. Click here for the full image gallery.
We selected the beautiful and breathtaking Winvian property in Morris, CT to be the site of our wedding on June 11, 2011.
The style of our wedding was whimsical, romantic, and with a touch of elegance. We couldn’t have asked for a more talented team of vendors to help craft our perfect wedding.
Our florist did an amazing job of using flowers that were in season and local to the surroundings. The centerpieces were all unique works of art that mirrored our color palette and became a great conversation piece for our guests
Our wedding cake was the best cake we ever ate. It was a chocolate cake with hazelnut and raspberry filling with handcrafted edible orchids running down the side of the cake.
The chef at the Winvian made a fabulous selection of using organic and seasonal ingredients form their garden to create wonderful food for our guests.
The color palette for the wedding was to use earth tones colors with bursts of yellow, blue and purple to compliment the rustic charm of the Gordon Brown House. We added pin spot lighting to the tables, up lighting to the barn house to attain a romantic mood.
We had so many wonderful moments from of our wedding. One moment was hearing the raindrops against the roof of the tent during the exchange our vows. The sound was so peaceful and calming to us. Another favorite moment was our first dance to Andrea Bocelli & Celine Dion’s “The Prayer.”
Our wedding day was filled with love, unity and spirituality. Above all, we could not have got married without the support and love from both our family and friends. For that we are truly thankful and blessed.

Vintage New Haven Wedding from Robert & Kathleen + Jubilee Events
Be still my vintage loving heart. Captured by Robert & Kathleen Photographers, these New Haven nuptials from Jubilee Events at the New Haven Lawn Club have my ticker all a twitter. The bride took her color inspiration from the flowers the groom brought along on their first date (can you say AW?) and the pink and purple could not work better with the vintage, Hollywood charm. I can’t decide what I love the most, be it the lacy cupcake wraps, the stunning flowers from Blush Floral Design, or those amazing art deco chandeliers. But honestly, I can’t stop looking at that gorgeous bride. Didn’t Dana Bartone & Company absolutely nail the sweet, classic hair and makeup? Click here for more!
Clark totally surprised me on our first date when I opened my door and found him outside, smiling, and holding a beautiful bouquet of pink and purple tulips and a small black box. I was totally flattered by the amazing flowers. We had chatted on the phone on the days leading up to our date, and I had told Clark that I loved office supplies, which I chalk up to being an elementary school teacher. I knew that this date was different and I knew that Clark really “got me” when I opened the box he brought for me and found a Staples “Easy Button!” We ended up talking the whole night at an Italian restaurant, and when they were getting ready to close, we took our date to an all-night diner where we shared dessert. We had an instant connection and quickly realized that we were meant to be together.
Clark has the ability to make me smile like no one else can, and I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. There are some ways that we are completely different; I have a type-A personality, and Clark is more laid back and able to calm me down. Clark will also take time to think through his decisions, and I am much more spontaneous… which is why Clark’s proposal almost didn’t work!
In late June of 2009, Clark had purchased a beautiful diamond ring and decided to propose on a summer evening on the beach near our apartment. The only problem is that when Clark decided it was finally time, it rained for an entire week! When it finally stopped raining, Clark took me to the beach and brought a nice picnic. We were enjoying ourselves, but many of my elementary students were there with their families and we kept getting interrupted. We finally finished dinner and headed home. Once we got home and got settled, Clark got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife.
I knew that I wanted to incorporated pink and purple into our wedding, inspired by those beautiful tulips from our first date. We decided that we wanted to have a wedding that was traditional, classic, romantic, and elegant but full of fun touches that it made it our own.

Style Me Pretty – Barns at Wesleyan Hills CT Wedding
Connecticut Wedding by Jubilee Events + Jessica’s Country Flowers
We have a warm and fuzzy place in our hearts for this next couple. They won an AMAZING Deserving Couple’s Contest put on by Jessica’s Country Flowers and their wedding? So many stinking cute details, we’re sort of DYING over here. Jubilee Events donned their excellent party planning hats for this Alice in Wonderland inspired fete and Raw Photo Design captured it gorgeously. Grab a comfy seat and check out the whole shebang here.
Click here to see the entire image gallery!
From Jubilee Events… A wedding with so many carefully thought out details: that was the story of Anna and Matt. They started their planning journey with a rocky start– troubled by hardships. Luckily, they entered a contest on Style Me Pretty and were chosen to receive a wedding with support by a lot of special vendors, including Jessica’s Country Flowers, who organized the give-a-way and designed all of their flowers.
They were destined to have an Alice in Wonderland styled wedding on the last weekend of summer, surrounded by 150 of their nearest and dearest. Mostly do-it-yourself, they took on a ton of projects to truly make their wedding their own. From fabric pennant flags that the bride sewed, to the wedding paper suite expertly designed by the groom (with a little help from an amazing illustrator Krista Wildermuth). Perhaps the most amazing piece of homemade décor was the antique door we suspended above their long, family style head table with dozens of antique medicine bottles hanging above like a chandelier. The sweetest part of their story is they were inspired by so many blogs and other couples!
In this kind of styled event, we were inspired by the original Alice in Wonderland and took some visual cues: pearls that the bride wore, “eat me” and “drink me” signs, a play on cards using them as favors and being inspired by them with their cake, the use of zinnias and dahlias in their flowers. But overall, Anna and Matt wanted a colorful, fun, and quirky look that represented them as a couple. We used fun and playful colors— aqua, blue, pink, red, and shades of silver to bring their vision to life.
Their ceremony took place just a stones throw from where the bride grew up at a little, teeny tiny church called Hope Valley Church. A hydrangea covered wreath greeted guests at the steeple and sweet music from a duo of violins prompted the ceremony, where Anna was escorted down the aisle by her dad. She wore an absolutely gorgeous gown with ruffles that cascaded down the back… And layers, and layers of vintage pearls collected from flea markets & antique shops. A cage veil and pretty fascinator, all from The White Dress by the Shore. Matt wore a Versace suit and tie with a pair of custom chuck taylors.
After the ceremony, guests blew bubbles and saw the newly weds off to their epic reception— complete with gorgeous tablescapes designed by us full of sweet little details, and a lot of fun. The bride and groom had their hand on every piece of décor for their wedding— we scouted vintage china used to serve guests dinner at flea markets (Brimfield, to be exact!) together and borrowed unique pieces from Anna’s father— a man who loves antiques! Each guest plucked their escort card from an antique barn door from Anna’s home that Matt hammered vintage nails into. A tag with their name on it, affixed to a skeleton key, guided them to their table. After dinner, they danced the night away with family and friends into the wee hours!

A Surprise Wedding by Jubilee Events
Who doesn’t love surprises? What about a surprise wedding? They are definitely not for the faint of heart, but if executed correctly, can result in a very magical day for all involved. Jubilee Events helped Nika and Jamar pull off just such a feat and it is filled with traditional gorgeousness and some drop dead beautiful fashion to boot. Head over to the gallery for the blow by blow of this surprise wedding captured by Carla Ten Eyck and Erik Maziarz.

From Jubilee Events:
We began working with Nika and Jamar last year and loved their idea of a surprise wedding! Under the rouse that they were attending the newly engaged couples engagement party, guests arrive at the New Haven Lawn Club to a gorgeous, candlelit ceremony. It was such an amazing surprise months in the making! Family members and longtime friends traveled far and wide and were completely caught off guard.
The bride work a beautiful, layered Vera Wang gown with the most BEAUTIFUL Jimmy Choo, art deco inspired shoes! Her best friend, Mariyka, acted as her maid of honor and wore a beautiful Vineyard one shoulder dress with a black feather fascinator in her hair. Nika chose a really beautiful, rich color story of purples, ivory, silver and a pop of red. Elisabeth from Blush created stunning white arrangements for the ceremony that flanked the fireplace in shades of white and ivory. They had mercury votive candles hanging from curly branches and pussy willows. As the sun set, Nika was escorted by her father to an emotional trio of violin to Cannon D. Their ceremony was by candlelight… and their vows very poignant.
For the reception, BLUSH used brightly colored purples with hints of reds on the cocktail tables in mercury vases. Guests dined on a feast by the New Haven Lawn Club of sumptuous cocktails and hor dourves. They had an incredible ensemble of musicians from Elan Artists, and guests were created into the beautifully lit art deco ballroom with vintage Parisian music by Bon Musique. The night was capped off with a final dance by the bride and groom!
