the mayflower inn & spa, CT

bridal editorial

This shoot inspiration originally stemmed from a desire for more red in the wedding industry; it is punchy, fun and chic all at the same time. Liz first spotted Sharland England’s strawberry tablecloth and felt like it brought the perfect whimsical meets English garden feel that aligns with the Mayflower’s Celerie Kemble interiors. Sarah Worden’s lead florist, Lauren Merriam and Liz worked closely to source the perfectly curated reception table. Small intricate details such as vintage wicker napkin rings from a local estate, scalloped glassware and stunning hand painted chargers brought this design together.

For the ceremony, Lauren and Liz wanted an altar piece that felt refreshing and different, but still aligned with the look of the shoot and the Mayflower. They sourced the most stunning lattice urns that framed the couple.

Our models were styled by the incredibly talented Beth Chapman and  beauty was done by Simply Gorgeous by Erin. Classic bridal shoes were selected from Aquazzura and, of course, there was no way for us to avoid using the perfect strawberry clutch from Judith Leiber Couture. This was all captured on film by the talented Mary Dougherty with video done by Brandon Lee.
