First Bride and Groom to "Run Down the Aisle"

From running down the aisle following the garden ceremony to the vintage retro decor, Erica and Collin's Wedding was unique and very special.

Green Tie Gala 2009

The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center recently held its "Green Tie Gala 2009" at the stately Branford House at the Avery Point Campus in Groton. The 20th annual event benefits the DPNC Environmental Education Programs and Services. "Green is the New Black" was the theme for this years event.

We were excited to provide an array of local resourced foods to fit the "green theme". Chef Bill's famous "Pretzel" Rolls were "Hot on the Rocks" and a huge wooden bookcase held a variety of "Club Plates".

"Live Tree People" wandered throughout blending into the natural ambiance.

A Thyme to Cook goes Live on Stage

A Thyme to Cook took center stage at The Katharine Heburn Cultural Arts Center with a dramatic pre-opera Brunch at The "Kate" in Old Saybrook.

The four-course brunch began with a fabulous house made cheddar, apple, cranberry turnover; and finished with an almond bavaroise with brandied white chocolate hollandaise. After brunch, guests took in the Metropolitan Opera's Turnadot on the big screen.

The recently renovated Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center is truly a wonderful addition to Southeastern Connecticut. Check out there website for upcoming shows and events!

Wedding Style Overlooking the Mystic River

Following Sheryl and Greg's Riverside Ceremony guests were greeted with the bride and groom's signature cocktail...vodka, lemon verbena syrup and cranberry juice garnished with an orange peel and a sprig of rosemary served in a martini glass. Cheers!

After cocktails guests were guided inside the Mystic Art Center where the festivities continued with a wonderful meal, cake and dancing.

The brides gown was absolutly gorgeous...truly a work of art!
