A Heartfelt Wedding Story

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Since my Kate Parker Wedding is all about finding the best wedding vendors in our industry, we get so excited for our my KPW family members when they’re featured in other publications, both online and in print.  After we originally posted this story, Style Me Pretty asked to feature this incredible bride and groom in an all day post-a-thon! We wanted to show you more of this beautiful wedding experience and we also wanted to throw a shout out to the fabulous vendors who were involved in such a selfless act of kindness.  To go to Style Me Pretty and read the many stories, click on one of the links below:

When someone is kind enough to donate their resources to help others who are in need, it is always something that should be recognized.  We would like to thank some of our my Kate Parker Wedding family members including Amber Small of Sweetest Thing Weddings, Judy Bourgeois of Flora Fauna, The Retreat at French’s Point and Sperry Tents for being so generous in providing their services to help a deserving couple with their beautiful October 16th, 2009 wedding.

Connecticut Wedding Planner: Jubilee Events, Wedding Inspirations

Monday, November 9th, 2009

My Kate Parker Weddings member Jubilee Events is a Connecticut based wedding planning boutique.  They specialize in chic weddings and occasions.

Phone: 203.632.5654
Website: www.eventjubilee.com
Blog: http://eventjubilee.com/blog
myKPW State and Budget: CT $50-80k and $80k+

Number of years in business: 2 years

Preferred wedding locations: New England, specifically Connecticut. I absolutely ADORE a chic Connecticut wedding!

Pricing information: Our pricing varies based on our clients’ needs, but we start just under $2,000.

What makes me stand out in my industry: I came into the industry with a fresh perspective – I’m young, fun, enthusiastic and have a different eye for weddings and the industry as a whole. I truly believe my art background plays a HUGE role in the design of a Jubilee Event!

What’s the favorite part of what I do: I absolutely love the design process – it’s my favorite part. From the big picture to the small details, I just love it all! I equally love being a part of my clients’ personal history. It is such an incredible thing to be so intimately involved in someone’s wedding day.

What do I like to do in my spare time: Spare time? Ha! No really, most of my time is devoted to doing what I love, and that’s my business. When I’m not working I love to hang with my husband, family, and friends. I love a good glass of wine, a book, and some fun reality TV.

What charity am I supporting and why: I’m supporting the American Cancer Society because SO many of my loved ones have beaten or succumb to cancer. It’s such an important charity, in my eyes, and we all have a personal tie to the disease.

Check some images of Candice’s favorite events from the 2009 season below:

We love the way Candice took traditional wedding elements and added a chic, modern twist so that they would work well in this urban space:

These varying shades of pinks and purples give this table a vibrant pop of color:

How fun is this photo?! We love the emotion so clearly captured:

One of the new wedding traditions is to have your bridesmaids choose a dress style that flatters their body shape. They’ll be happier and more at ease if the dress fits them well and it will show in your wedding photos. We love that this bride chose various shades of blue – proof that you don’t have to be completely matching in your wedding color palette if the colors complement one another.
