Vintage Art Deco Connecticut Winter Wedding
Things are about to get real lovely in here. I’m sure you’ve got your pretty heels on, after watching the Royal Wedding this morning, so keep them on a little longer. This Connecticut winter wedding, seen through the lens of the talented Katie Slater of Carla Ten Eyck Photography, stopped us in our tracks. The brides beauty is so fully complemented by the divine flora from Datura – A Modern Garden, we spent more than a few minutes pouring over the images with our jaws on our desks. The entire evening was designed and orchestrated by the lovely ladies at Jubilee Events, which confirms the fact that this fête was flawless. Don’t take our word for it. Check it out, and when you’re done, check it out some more in the gallery.
All the fab rentals came from our favorite Luxe Event Rentals!
We weren’t quite done with this lovely fest, so when we heard the talented team at Vantage Point Films was on hand for the wedding, and had an amazingly beautiful highlight film, we were all over that. Want to see it?

From Jubilee Events … Melissa and Peter were married on a chilly November evening in Greenwich on the harbor, with a beautiful vintage / deco wedding style. Their ceremony was held in a local church with 200 of their closest family and friends. The altar was dressed with two massive fall foliage trees dripping with candles and lanterns as designed by Datura – A Modern Garden. The aisles were flanked with custom iron lanterns and nearly 200 candles.
Melissa and Peter’s reception was held at L’escale, a world famous restaurant in downtown Greenwich with the most delicious french food! Guests dined in a ballroom filled with thousands of candles and gorgeous long and round tables with beautiful branch centerpieces.
From Datura – A Modern Garden … It was clear from the first moment I met Melissa that her bouquet had to be something special. We chose white paphiopedilum orchids which were so fresh and perfect, we decided to accent them with only a single green trick dianthus at the center and a few spirals of grass at the base. For her attendants, we chose bronze cymbidium stems with uluhe fern shoots and grass.
For the ceremony, we brought in 14 foot beech trees at their autumn peak and strung Moroccan lanterns from the branches. We lined the aisle with fresh autumn leaves and accented with over sized lanterns.
At L’escale, we chose two centerpiece styles: we countered a white orchid and candle component composition in slender stemware and gathering vases with an art-deco style branch centerpiece strung with white vanda orchids and votives in blown glass globes. For their sweetheart table, we designed a custom branch cascade with willow and orchids.

I'm IN LOVE with her engagement ring...any idea where it is from/who designed it?
So gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for featuring this. We loved planning this event and loved working with Melissa and Peter :) xo
what an AMAZING gown!
Thank you for the feature!!! Such a beautiful couple--it was an absolute pleasure working with them and so many amazing vendors!
An amazing team that day!! I was so happy to be a part of it, and to work with Melissa + Peter.
What a pretty dress! Let's hope that dresses like this and Princess Kate's dress will mean the end to strapless!
Yes I want my ring reset to look just like that!
Totally in love with those rings!!
@Laura, @Mary Connolly, and @Brittney, it's vintage! And fabulous, right?

Absolutely gorgeous bride. Stunning colors and decorations and beautiful rings! Im in love with the engagement ring...where is it from?

would like to know where the brides earrings are from, lovely wedding.
I am thrilled to see that lace is coming back. Especially after today's Royal Wedding, I expect to see a lot more next year.

love the rings!!
LOVE the shot of the bridesmaids and their cameras :-)
Gorgeous! Those rings are beautiful! Great Reception Location.
Gorgeous dress! I just had my first appointment to try on dresses today, and all of my favorites were just like your dress- I especially love lace capped sleeves/lace tank style. I am also, so not into strapless dresses...
Beautiful wedding. Congrats!
I love the dress! And it is so nice to hear that I am not the only bride who wants to puke every time I see another strapless gown! (They're not all bad- but so many of them are booring!)
I am wondering where the gorgeous hair pin is from. I am looking for something similar to wear with my lace gown this October.
drop dead gorgeous! so so so beautiful. and yay to no strapless!
Flowers have become universal symbols of emotions. Whenever there is a special occasion, people buy flowers to celebrate or to let someone know that they are special. People, especially men...
@Lindsey, isn't that hair pin to die for? It's from Plumed Serpent in Westport, CT - we're not sure on the designer. Hope that helps :)
Are all the rings vintage? specifically the one on the bottom left? I LOVE that one & must find it if possible!!
@Bradye, they are all vintage. Aren't they AMAZING?
i cant find the dress on the internet! please help me I love it!!!
joann, we're looking into the dress now!
Hi joann, we're thinking you may have to call the designer direct for the dress. It may be out of production. Sorry we don't have more info!
Just spotted this feature...sorry a little late! For anyone looking for info on this gown, it is my "Chantilly" Italian lace beaded gown. We're in the Little Black Book, or you can visit clairepettibone.com for info. Love this wedding, such a beautiful bride! xoxo
I really love the look of her lace wedding dress
