Summer Wedding at Candlewood Inn

Summer Wedding at Candlewood Inn

Anna and Jack 

The Candlewood Inn | Brookfield, Connecticut 

August 2025

 

Anna and Jack's summer wedding at the Candlewood Inn in Brookfield, Connecticut, had a summery vibe that was warm, happy, and fun! The color palette featured sunny hues that brought warmth and joy to the day. The colors popped against the beautiful waterfront views at the Candlewood Inn's outdoor ceremony space, where Anna and Jack said their vows. 

This wedding was especially personal as Anna is my husband's cousin! It was such an honor to design for them and get to celebrate with them. 

Anna's bouquet was designed with texture, summer florals, including our favorite late summer dahlias grown in our own gardens, and splashes of joyful, sunny colors. The same design vibe carried through to the ground floral arch. We love using ground floral arches at waterfront venues. It's a beautiful low frame to the naturally beautiful water-view backdrop. The ground floral arch adds some whimsy and joy to the beautiful setting. The ground floral arch was repurposed and used again at the reception, elevating the sweetheart table. 

It was such a beautiful day, and we were so honored to have been a part of it! Congratulations, Anna and Jack!
