Elegant Real Wedding in Connecticut by Robin Dini Photography
Courtney and Evan’s wedding events took place in the town of Stamford, Connecticut, which is where the bride's family resides. The church where the couple was married, Saint Cecilia Parish, holds very strong sentimental and emotional history for Courtney as her grandparents were married there years ago. Courtney and Evan chose to do a first look prior to the ceremony as well as portraits with their families and bridal party. It was an incredibly hot day but both took the heat in stride and enjoyed being photographed. Their ceremony was somber and beautiful as the minister from Courtney’s childhood officiated. After a full mass, guests were received at Madonia Restaurant, owned by a family friend, which was decorated from top to body with elegant lighting, delicate flower arrangements and cozy candle light. Guests enjoyed signature drinks and cigars during cocktail hour, followed by introductions, first dance, and toasts to the newlywed couple. After the cake cutting, the night continued with the hum of talk and laughter as guests wined and dined and enjoyed music and dance.
LOVE!

Once Upon A Time | A Fairy Tale Wedding Inspiration | A Closer Look At Lela New York's Box Luxury Invitations
Hi all! Today we wanted to share with you a closer look into the fairy-tale inspired luxury invitation designed by Lela New York!
When I was first asked to create the luxury invitations for a dinner party that would be inviting the top of the wedding industry, I knew it had to be unique in a big way. The theme we were going with was "Enchanted Forest" and the colors chosen were rich purples and fun golds and greens!
I wanted guests to be wowed when they opened up their luxurious boxed invites and want to come to this festive celebration. I sketched out some ideas first that included initial thoughts and colors. The finish product as you can see is pretty close. I decided to use a boxed invitation that the guests can later use as a keep sake and included a real mirror on the top lid that was screen printed with the words, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, the time has come to celebrate fall." It was a great line and would immediately lead the reader to want to read further and hinted at our fairy tale theme. The actual invitation card was printed on a gold paper and die-cut into an apple shape that spoke of the Snow White character and was later repeated in the decor at the dinner party. The end result was a luxury invitation that was screen printed in deep eggplant forest patterns and boxed in a lovely box that made an amazing intro to this great event!
