In September of 2016 a group of FABULOUS vendors converged at the
The Munger Barn at The Dudley Farm Museum,
in Guilford CT for a Western Wedding Themed Style Shoot for The Connecticut Bride Magazine!
I was so honored to be planning and designing this super fun shoot, and was able to call on
some of my favorite vendors to do so! It is so important as a planner to have a fabulous pool of talented
and amazing people to call upon for any Wedding or Event and this shoot was no different!
So follow us on this journey into the Western Wedding captured by photographer

Enjoy! Lisa
As the Planner and Designer for this style shoot I felt it was important to have a Western Wedding with CT Flair!
This started by scouting locations and bringing together the right vendors who could think outside the box, we didn’t
just want to pull off a country New England wedding but we wanted to ensure the desired theme was attained by
special Western touches that are evident in all the details!
