FALL WEDDING INSPIRATION AT CHAMARD VINEYARDS
Last year I was chatting with my sweet friend Cindy, owner and planner of Detaille Weddings and Events, about the vineyards here in Connecticut, specifically Chamard Vineyards in Clinton. We love the unique space it provides for weddings because you really can’t beat the grounds of Chamard for photos! Cindy and I got to chatting about different wedding designs and styles that would work at Chamard Vineyards, so we decided to organize an editorial shoot in October.
Being a wedding planner, Cindy took the full lead in the design process. She was inspired by the rich colors of the New England fall months and wanted to create a design concept that showed the romance of a wedding celebration, particularly one at sunset. The goal was to highlight some of the fall foliage of Connecticut, especially in the romantic portraits of the bride and groom. Bold and vivid colors were incorporated into several design elements including the linens and florals. Aubergine linens and chair covers, paired with pops of coral and soft oranges in the flowers, made for just the right contrast against the grounds of the vineyard. Gold accents gave this inspiration shoot luxe vibe overall!
For portraits, we used various locations to showcase the beauty of this Connecticut vineyard. We started in the wine cellar, before moving onto the grounds among the grapevines. The vivid pinks and rust oranges of the bouquet popped well against the softer greens that surrounded us. As the sun was setting over the rows of vines, it beautifully illuminated the fall colors and trees of this little Connecticut coastal town!
The evening ended with more portraits of our couple near the outdoor reception space with the last bit of sunlight we had. The sun was showing off a soft pink hue that added just an extra touch of romance to an already spectacular day!
Enjoy a handful of my favorite moments from the day below!
