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 […]

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 […]

pure charm: southern wedding inspiration board

Today I’m heading down to the Emerald Coast for 10 days of white sand and sweet tea cocktails! 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 […]

Our […]

We’re over the moon to have our first *unofficial* Lovely Day wedding grace the pages of our favorite wedding blog and wanted to share the pretty with all of you! 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 […]

signature drink: gin

For many of us, at this point in our lives we’ve been to so many weddings we can’t count them all. There were the straight-off-the-diploma-stage weddings that were quickly planned during college finals on a VERY tight budget, the early-20’s/first-job weddings held at wedding halls with creative DIY additions, and the 30-something weddings at unique […]
