Winter is right around the corner and we can hardly believe it.  At the end of last winter, our crews and a few other talented vendors (such as DeCarlo Photo Studio, our photographer) ventured out to play in the snow.  It also happened to be one of the coldest days.  We were going for a Nordic Scandinavian feel. We think we succeeded.  Our location Kivitare, is a private residents in Storrs Connecticut. We have to say everyone was a great sport about it, even if everyone got stuck in the snow at least once.  This style shoot was featured in the Fall/Winter Connecticut Bride Issue.   It was a great fun small style shoot and we are thankful to everyone for their hard work. 

Check out the video by Epic Filmmakers, and take a moment to check out all of our vendors who took part in freezing that day.

When picking a wedding day clutch, make sure it can hold the things you want.  But remember:

On Wedding Day You Won't Need Much!  

• You may want your lipstick or lip gloss
• You may want to have some cash so you can tip if you need too
• and we honestly think that is it! 

Check out these clutches from Nordstrom

 

OR you can look somewhere like Target...they have great choices too!!!  

Find the clutch that works for you but also don't waste a bunch of time searching for the right one.  You will have a little time to use it on wedding day!
