Sometimes the simplest themes are the best as was the case with the wonderfully colorful
Bat Mitzvah party we planned at the Golf Club of Avon. Enjoy reliving with us Marisa’s Outdoor
Rose Gold & Blue Bat Mitzvah.

Party guests were seated “family style” in large tables where everybody could interact and be part
of the proceedings every step of the way.

Marisa’s friends and family were invited to leave a few words on the giant “M” mirror that the
guest of honor will keep as a memento for years to come.

There were some beautiful touches throughout the venue, like this inspirational message penned
by the mitzvah girl’s mother:

And this beautifully designed card box which accentuated the party’s color theme perfectly.

The outdoor deck made for a perfect pallet with which to set the tables to match the theme and
take advantage of the wonderful late spring weather.

A special spot was saved for the center of attention and her VIP friends.

The touching moments continued with a poignant and beautiful candle lighting ceremony,
featuring floating candles in vases accented with rose gold beads.

It wasn’t all sedentary activities, there was some serious dancing to be done too! Comfy socks were
certainly appreciated by the boogying crowd!

Everyone was invited to watch this fun and touching montage created by Reel Video Group in conjunction with Plan-it Vicki.

All in all, it was a beautiful evening in a beautiful setting for a beautiful mitzvah girl.
Mazel Tov Marisa!

From start to finish this was the perfect wedding. The beautiful bride, the handsome groom,
the supportive and warm families, the great venue, the coordinated vendors, everything
went according to plan. I’m so grateful to have been welcomed into this wonderful couple’s
world and to have played a small part in sending them off to married life in the way they
deserved. Miranda and Jesse this one’s for you! Let’s take you through the amazing day
starting with the preps.

The Badgley Mischka shoes were definitely on point! I want these!

And that gorgeous Maggie Sottero dress was just so perfect! Add to the fact that the bride’s
mother bought her dress at the same shop, Mariella Creations, some 30 years earlier,
made it that much more special.

The men prepped at the groom’s house, while the ladies got ready at the hotel, both with
sustenance provided by the Harvest Cafe.

We spent the day getting Farmington Gardens polished and prepped to host Miranda & Jesse
and dozens of their family and friends for the ceremony and the wonderful party that was to follow.

Flowers, prepared expertly by Melissa Bernard of The Honey Bee Florist, were everywhere,
including this spectacular display in the lobby.

Looks like everything is ready to go!

But first, a few formalities. The Best Man made sure the groom was all boutonniered-up.

There was the touching private exchange of vows.

And now we were ready to go. Cue the music, let’s do this thing!

We did it!

There were some post-ceremony duties as well, namely posing for many, many pictures.

There was even a candid moment or two away from the formalities for this wonderful couple.

While the bridal party took care of their business, guests enjoyed some appetizers and drinks,
lawn games and even an amazing cigar bar from the CT Cigar Company.

Guests were invited inside the ballroom for dinner and a wild night of dancing!

A beautifully decorated ring hung above the sweetheart table during the reception.

Each place setting featured a dressed up spice bottle, containing a unique mixture created
by the mother of the bride. We added this special saying, reminding us what the night was all about.

Plan-it Vicki even got to put the finishing touches on this amazing cake made by Harvest Cafe,
dressing it up with real flowers. It came out pretty well, don’t you think?

The formalities of earlier in the evening gave way to one heck of a dance party, led, of
course by the newlyweds. Go, Jesse!

And don’t think the canine friends were forgotten. The bride’s grandmother made some yummy
treats for guests to take home to their furry friends.

A perfect evening for a perfect couple! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness Miranda and Jesse.
You’re off to a wonderful start.

Easy! Done! Enjoy!
