Planning a Connecticut wedding for a couple who lives and works in Texas is not without its challenges (what did we do before Zoom?), but this collaboration between bride and groom, mother of the bride/florist and yours truly turned out as magical as any of us might have imagined. You are invited to Jessie and Matt’s stately New England meets Texas flair, late-summer wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion in Connecticut!

The mother of the bride, who doubled as the florist for this celebration, added even more sophistication to the proceedings.
