Rain or shine, love prevails. πŸ’–β˜”οΈ

But what do you do when there's rain in the forecast?
1. Stay positive, roll with the punches, and focus on the joy of the occasion.
2. Maybe buy some cute umbrellas or rain boots.
3. Our favorite piece of advice: Love your rain plan!

A rainy wedding day can still be incredibly beautiful and memorable!

A relaxed vibe with a refined, luxurious touch.

Let's rewind to the unforgettable late September wedding of Carolyn + Will at the Bridgeport Art Center in 2022. From lush white blooms to verdant greenery at every turn, including a breathtaking floral arch and ceiling adorned with twinkling lights, elegance filled the air.

Gold lanterns and centerpieces added a touch of glamour, while blue napkins popped against crisp white linens. Votive candles cast a warm glow, enveloping the tables in romance. πŸ’«πŸŒΏπŸ•―οΈ
