Ali and Dan had always wanted to incorporate their love of history into their special day. After discovering the Hillstead Museum for the ceremony and The Society Room for their reception, the couple knew these two locations would be perfect to host their closest family and friends. With details that incorporated some of the couple’s favorite things, including an elegant reception using black and gold, with pops of colors from the floral centerpieces. After a dream ceremony at the Hillstead Museum, the guests enjoyed a casual cocktail hour at the museum.
After tours of the historic mansion and delicious cocktails, guests traveled to the The Society Room that was shimmering from the reflection of gold accents throughout the room. Fleurescent used natural colors of pinks and blushes to accent the bride and groom’s style. After a delicious meal thoughtfully planned out by the The Society Room, it was time to enjoy a sweet ending by the The Simbury Inn Bake Shop.
