Timeless & romantic attire
For this styled wedding shoot, real life couple Curt & Kathryn were selected attire that truly matched the timeless aesthetic of their garden estate venue. Julie Centofanti Styling created a bridal vision that was equal parts glamorous and light & airy! The bride wore a romantic and billowing Flair Boston gown that featured a modern bodice and romantic, off the shoulder puff sleeves.
The bride's stunning look was paired Old Hollywood style waves by Michelle Anne Hair Design and glam makeup by Bombchelle Beauty.
The groom was dressed in a classic black tuxedo - a classic choice to match any style of bride!

A ceremony is the perfect time to connect
As you can imagine, having a blended family (often ignored as the new “norm” in the US) can be super busy and doesn't leave a ton of uninterrupted time for them to focus on each other! The couple appreciated the opportunity to lighten the mood with a luxe & romantic styled ceremony and photography experience, giving them a taste of what their own wedding could feel like and nudged them into finding more time to plan their own special day. We loved the understated elegance of this ceremony set up!
"Curt proposed to Kathryn on the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park in New England with a gorgeous summer sunset backdrop. They have since bought a home together and have an active, fun, and love filled life. Their home is busy, beautiful & blended from their first marriages - with 4 young children ages 10, 11, 12, and 13."

Garden party reception overflowing with flowers
Just a few hours west of where the creative team & couple call home, lies an exquisite setting that feels like you have been transported to another corner of the world. When arriving at Wheatleigh in Lenox, MA, you are met with an experience rooted in the palatial charm of the Gilded Age paired with contemporary accommodations, extraordinary cuisine, and exceptional service. Jessica Hennessey Weddings took this rich aesthetic and enhanced the space through a garden party reception, absolutely overflowing with pastel florals, patterned linens, and pink accents!
Bold textured linens by BBJ La Tavola set the stage for a variety of bespoke vendors at this tablescape! The pink palette was paired with stationery by Max and Maiden Ink and calligraphy by BL Calligraphy.
Every inch of rentals (including the cake table) by Classical Tents were covered in luscious and vibrant floral designs by Kerianne Nelson Flora. Soft peonies and wildflowers created a dreamy and romantic vibe that is ideal for a garden estate venue!
