A team of creative wedding pros envision three fabulous wedding themes.
Vintage Appeal
Take a waterfront mansion, add tufted chairs, a two-story fireplace and masses of blooms, stir in liberal amounts of sequins, beading and lace trim and you might just find Daisy Buchanan herself on the guest list. The dramatic venue, Branford House Mansion in Groton, CT, complete with its Italian marble staircase, paneled walls and grand ballroom served as inspiration for the team’s creative story. From the sparkling sequins to the antique floral china and the bride’s own vintage feather stole, there was high drama in the details and a refined opulence in the air.
"To play off the lavish attitude of the Gatsby era, we introduced a touch of silver in the table linens by Nuage Linens," says Coppola. "When designing a wedding based on a particular time period, do a bit of research. The best places to look for inspiration are art and architecture books, magazines, movies and even music reflecting the era."
