Connecticut Wedding by Blush Floral Design
There is only one word that can properly describe how I feel about this wedding. Obsessed. Totally and completely obsessed. The flowers by Blush Floral Design alone are enough to elicit squeals of glee, but add to that a gorgeous gown, three perfect bridesmaids and a style that is as sweet and whimsical as it is totally elegant…well, my heart is a fluttering. Oh! And we have TONS of additional images loaded into our galleries.

Lauran and Carlos had an intimate early September wedding for 60 of their closest family and friends at Lauran’s parents’ home in East Haddam, CT located on the Connecticut River. This wedding was all about the little details! Lauran, a trained chef, wanted to incorporate her love of vintage and her and Carlos’ love of food into the decor to create an intimate atmosphere.
They were married in front of her mother’s gardening shed with vintage chairs mixed in with white folding garden chairs. Locally grown Zinnias in tomato cans adorned the cocktail tables to coordinate with the Bruschetta bar setup for guests. Hanging lanterns, pomander balls and strung orchids swayed in the breeze from the trees around the property.
Lauran’s mother, a talented gardener made the grounds immaculate and planted flowers in every nook and cranny. She also hung her handmade Sprite Fairies (which she makes from dried materials) and handmade paper flower lanterns from their pergola. The organically styled centerpieces featured Garden Roses, Dahlias, Ranunculus, local heirloom tomatoes, and other seasonal flowers. Patterned napkins were sewn by Lauran’s mother. Lauran and Carlos made a donation to the Humane Society in lieu of favors but had Nina of Les Petites Presents create a Doggie Bone Favor Bar where guests could take home homemade dog biscuits to their pooches!

Love the bouquets & boutonnieres! Also the lemons in milk glass bowl...beautiful!
Thank you for all of the kind words on the attire. We loved dressing Lauren! She looked stunning!
The gown is "Tania" by Modern Trousseau and the headpeice was a custom creation by The White Dress by the shore.
This is such a beautiful wedding. Very inspiring.
So beautiful!
I am so thrilled to see Elisabeth featured. She was my florist at my wedding last year. She is exceptionally talented, professional, and knows truly how to bring your vision to fruition while bringing in her own personal touches. A absolute dream to work with! I adore her.
XOXO
The flowers are stunning! What a beautiful wedding.
Those florals are TO. DIE. FOR. Even the little bouquet for the mother is so adorable, and the use of the tomato and the lemons....there are no words!
Just stunning! I love the place cards on the artichokes!
The gown is by Modern Trousseau. You look incredible......

Amazing - simply amazing flowers!! WOW
What are the little round yellow flowers? i love them! I hope they come in pink too! :)
What a beautiful wedding. I'm planning an outdoor wedding in New England and the flowers are really inspiring. Also I like the birdhouse, I might use that idea for note cards in lieu of a guest book.
This is long overdue!! As you found, the tie is from Paul Fredrick, nothing fancy, but we really wanted something bright and fun. Beth from Blush Studio did an INCREDIBLE job, my day would have in no way taken form the way it did without her inspiration. I can't even put into words how many wonderful ways she has changed my life as a friend and a visionary for my big day. Little Miss Nina from Le Petit Presents was so fantastic, professional and went so far beyond to help me with my favors. Her presentation was outstanding. Tulaloo did the invites and all the graphics. I can't say enough about Jessica. I found her on Etsy.com and we hit it off right away. She is creative, professional and so flexible as I changed my colors and fonts, etc. To this day I can't name one person who responds faster to emails. Her invitations set the tone for the entire event. I still use her for lots of events & things. My photographer, Meg from Creative Image Collection out of Danbury, what can I say- you see the pictures. She is so talented and managed to capture all the little moments. To see these pictures with all the details captured, I am so grateful for her abilities AND she was so much darn fun to have around. Lastly, my look, thanks to Beth, Kelley, Lindsey, Flo, Jose and the rest of the gang at White Dress by the Shore for helping me find the right dress and head piece. Also thanks to Soho Hair salon where I had my hair done by the very talented and my great friend, Brittany. My make-up was done by Stacey (sister-in-law to Eric from Raw Photo). Most importantly, thanks to my mom for making her backyard a wedding wonderland. Oh and to that fabulous man, Carlos for marrying me!! If I forgot anyone, I am sorry!
