real LD wedding: savannah + tony

We are absolutely over-the-moon-THRILLED to share our first summer 2013 Lovely Day wedding with you! We had the incredible pleasure of working with Savannah and Tony to plan their DIY wedding in New Milford, CT.  After meeting them in February we were in love – and when Tony asked for a to-go container for the […]

fall: in love!

Fall! Around here, Autumn is one of our favorite times of year. Apple picking, pumpkin carving, apple-cider-donut eating wrapped in scarves and stylish trenchcoats? We absolutely love it. When we aren’t jumping in fallen leaves or burning a pumpkin spice candle, we’re cooking up fall wedding decor ideas for one of our 2014 brides. Here […]

LD styled shoot: farm-to-table inspiration board

It’s smack dab in the middle of wedding season and while we’ve been super busy (and happily so!), we’ve also been a bit neglectful on the blog (our bad). To give you a snapshot, the past few weeks have brought venue walk-through’s, client planning meetings and three new Lovely Day weddings booked – all in […]

bridal style: racerback gowns

The latest bridal trend we’re dreaming of? Racerback gowns. These sophisticated beauties are the best way (we think) to flatter toned arms, and we’re loving the many styles out there. From J.Crew to Claire Pettibone, designers are pulling in fabric to make room for dramatic backs that show a little extra shoulder. Here are some […]

From Beth… Planning my wedding was a labor of love, […]

run for the roses: derby wedding inspiration board

Whether or not you tuned in to see Orb slosh through the mud for the win last weekend, there’s a lot to love about the Kentucky Derby — and it’s not all about the ponies! Derby fashion has been a highlight of the season since Churchill Downs opened in 1875, attracting wagering ladies with hats […]

#tbt

Thanks to the phenomenon of #tbt (that’s “throwback Thursday” for the social media challenged), each Thursday our Instagram feeds are filled with images that take us back in time.  To date, Instagram users have posted close to 19 million #tbt photos to reminisce with friends and share the memories of years past.  As I was […]

trend spotting: peach & coral

For the past few weeks, C & I have been road-tripping all over Connecticut to meet with the best wedding vendors in the state. We’ve put approximately 500 miles on the Prius and met with some increeeeedibly talented people (like, brilliant ya’ll!). We’ve learned so much but above all we’ve made great new friends, and […]

trend spotting: NYFW Fall 2013

New York Fashion Week just ended and Manhattan has been abuzz with talk from the tents at Lincoln Center. Every February and September, the streets of the Upper West Side are filled with sky-high stilettos, furs, fashion-forward hair cuts, and designer handbags worth thousands (like this crazy one). As predicted, jewel tones made a splash all […]
