real LD wedding: amy & adam

This wedding was one word. OK, two. COMPLETELY GORGEOUS. Amy and Adam got married on a perfect early fall day in September at the Waveny House. The sun was bright in New Canaan but there was a chill in the evening air that helped guests dance on the patio all night long. The mansion was […]

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.

I can’t wait to trade steamy Connecticut for coastal Alabama on this part-family reunion, part-beach vacation trip, and it got me thinking about my southern roots. You see, my Mother is a real Southern lady. She was […]

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 […]
