Friday, June 12th at Westover we knew, And of course, the school colors of yellow and blue.
Even before they were engaged, it was always Shelby’s dream to be married at Westover School in Middlebury, Connecticut, where her blood runs deep. Her father has worked there for over 25 years, she attended school herself, and since college has returned to hold a number of positions and now resides on campus. Ryan and Shelby envisioned a late spring country wedding with a bit of panache, and we carried the school colors of yellow and blue throughout. With an exceptionally large guest list in a rambling, unique space we had to be creative, but the end result was awesome and everyone is still raving about what an incredible day it was.
Following the ceremony which took place just a few steps from Westover, the first thing guests saw as they entered the garden for cocktail hour was the two Adirondack chairs guest book, along with escort cards strung on the old stone wall with wide ribbon.
Inside in the dining hall, we swapped the original ladder-back chairs for white chivari. Tables were dressed with navy linens, white folded napkins and Westover’s Spode china. Table numbers and menus complimented the original stationery suite.
It was our honor and privilege to be part of their engagement, as well as their wedding from start to finish. We need not wish them happiness, because it is so clear how much they already have!
