A Traditional Pink Wedding at the Hilton Hotel in Stamford, Connecticut

Jennifer and John’s wedding had all the trappings of a traditional, romantic affair for their spring wedding. They threw the entire at the Hilton Hotel in Stamford, CT, where the couples’ families are from. “We wanted the wedding at a hotel to make everything easier and to create a one-stop shop, for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and hotel rooms. Not only was the location two miles from our home, but the hotel is very nicely done and has a gorgeous garden pavilion tent,” says Jennifer. But what really makes Jennifer and John’s wedding stand out are the sentimental details they tied in throughout the day to remember family members who had passed away. “We had a remembrance table with photos of family who were not able to join us, but were there in spirit,” says Jennifer. The bride also made a special tribute to her aunt that passed away when she was young. “Very soon before I was born, my aunt passed away in a very tragic way. It was a devastating loss for our family, especially my mother and grandmother. I wanted to do something special to honor her, so I sent my florist a small picture of my aunt, as well as a piece of lace from her wedding dress. My florist, Melissa, wrapped my bouquet in the lace and pinned her picture on the front. It was beautiful and emotional and the best way I could have honored her memory,” says Jennifer.
