They said “I do” before anyone arrived—then threw open the doors of Branford House for one thing only: the party. Those dark wood-paneled rooms eat color, so we went soft and luminous, with blush roses, anemones, lisianthus, sweet pea and astilbe, plus wisps of dried fern for movement. Airy, low centerpieces in gold compotes lit up the guest tables, fourteen bud vases scattered blush through cocktail hour, and all three of the mansion’s fireplaces got lush smilax garlands layered with candlelight. The best detail of the night was the couple’s own: photos of their life together, tucked right in among the greenery. Add a grazing table, a dance floor in the West Room and the Connecticut shoreline glittering outside, and you’ve got a reception-only celebration that proves you don’t need an aisle to make an entrance.

“We absolutely loved working with Emma & her team. From first conversation to proposal, we felt she really "got" us, and our coordinator agreed. She worked within our budget and timeframe, providing different options for spaces at different price points, and even allowed us to swap vases at the last minute so that relatives could bring home some of her beautiful flowers. Which, let's talk about the flowers - they were GORGEOUS. You won't be disappointed!”
