Oh how do we love Linden Place, let us count the ways! Megan and Travis truly knocked our socks off with their perfectly romantic styling of the already stunning mansion. Part of the allure of Megan is that she doesn’t let her beauty define her. She is a down to earth, incredibly lighthearted woman whose smile lights up the room. When Travis saw her for their first look he was visibly blown away. Wearing a strapless, lace Anne Barge gown and Badgley Mischka heels, Megan was a vision to behold. A color pallet of neutral whites and blush pinks and was carried through from the bridesmaids’ dresses, to the incredible florals by Greenlion Design, to the tablescapes in the Carriage House Ballroom. Guests were witness to an outdoor ceremony followed by cocktail hour in the East Rose Garden surrounded by the sweet sounds of a string trio. Vintage lanterns hung in the trees while family and friends noshed on delicacies cooked up by the fine folks at Russell Morin Catering and enjoyed the most polished game of corn hole ever. The carriage house was styled with thousands of twinkle lights creating a warm glow overhead while sequined, chevron linens and exquisite flowers in found vessels adorned the dinner tables. Before and after dinner Splash! performed for the guests and we got to see how elegance turns rowdy with the proper music! The entire day had a graceful vibe inspired by Megan and Travis’ effortless love. To share in this day was a heartwarming experience and we are nothing short of thankful!

We have been waiting and waiting to do an engagement session at Buttonwood Farm! An entire acre of sunflowers is planted each year and when they bloom it’s pure magic. We were overjoyed to go this summer with Marissa and Carl for their engagement session. You can’t say Marissa without using the word adorable in the same sentence. You also can’t say Marissa without Marisa thinking you’re talking to her. (they are pronounced differently, people!) Carl is totally smitten with his soon-to-be bride and the way Marissa looks at him is wonderful. With some clever positioning we were able to avoid the crowds admiring this huge field of sunflowers. It was seriously breathtaking to be amongst this many flowers. We did have to dodge the occasional tractor pulling children in small cow-shaped carts. There was also a hayride circling and kicking up some (lots) of dirt but it all added to the charm of this hidden gem just outside of Rhode Island. We kind of wanted to keep this place a secret but upon learning that 100% of the proceeds from their $5.00 bunches of cut sunflowers goes to the Make a Wish Foundation of Connecticut we decided that the more people who visit this beautiful place the better.

Marissa and Carl are funny, cool, sweet and just all around awesome. We can’t wait until their wedding at Linden Place next year!

Combine a beautiful, RISD grad bride with a ruggedly handsome, football player groom and you have wedding day magic. We cannot say enough great things about Kate and Tyler. We had a sneak peek of the wedding day awesomeness during their styled engagement session at Blithewold Mansion and Gardens. Kate created and painted a monogram of their first initials, made buntings, brought a quilt and pillows and even a vintage bicycle-for the engagement session! Fast forward to a stunningly gorgeous day at Linden Place in Bristol, RI. It was as if this venue was made for Kate’s wedding. The room in which she got ready is decorated in the colors of her wedding; whites, creams, ivory and shades of green. Special ladies were gifted handmade, monogrammed hankies as Kate got into her beautiful gown, complete with pockets! Meanwhile, downstairs Tyler was shuffling curious family members out of the main house so he could get into place for the first look. Tucked away in the atrium the bride and groom saw each other for the first time on their wedding day. It was a beautiful private moment. But the peacefulness wouldn’t last for long because in came the family! Grandparents, children, siblings, and friends. This couple is beloved! Photo opportunities were everywhere. Who can resist the spinning flower girl?! A perfectly sunny ceremony produced tears and smiles alike. Cocktail hour on the lawn was a feast for the senses. Vintage vessels for flower arrangements, cool little jars for drinks, passed hors d’euvres and music cued everyone in that the party was starting.  Inside the carriage house were Kate’s handmade buntings screen printed with the couple’s monogram. Animal themed vases from Anthropologie showcased the breathtaking florals by Weedweavers of Wakefield. Vintage teacups became scented candle holders (made by Kate) and adorned all of the tables along with favors in muslin pouches also with the couple’s monogram (yup, Kate again). Suzanne from Moondance Productions had everyone up and dancing and celebrating this wonderful couple well into the night. We adored every bit of this wedding and we especially love Kate and Tyler!
