Spring has Sprung: Perfect Weather at The Lace Factory

Jenna and Sam tied the knot with luscious spring greenery and a vintage train ride for guests!

Jenna & Sam’s spring wedding is ULTIMATE #weddinginspo! Vintage train rides and unforgettable spring florals were just two of the highlights of the Essex Station / Lace Factory wedding.

Jenna and her ladies got ready in a vintage train car at Essex Station. While enjoying the perfect spring weather, they sipped mimosas and got ready for Jenna’s big reveal!

Sam’s final touches were at The Griswold Inn, where Jenna met him for a touching first look. We started bride & groom portraits with this classic Connecticut backdrop, before heading to The Lace Factory for more photos.

Just LOOK at this gorgeous Muse by Berta gown! The silhouetted top is covered in the tiniest flowers which continue to cascade down the dress. Magnificent for floating across the dance floor.

Joined by 170 guests, Jenna and Sam said ‘I do!!’ at Essex Station, before hopping on the 1920’s train with all of their friends and family.

Maple + Mum designed exquisite spring tablescapes, featuring tall bushels of spring greenery, colorful bud vases and adorable train car table number holders. Nothing beats the lighting coming through the industrial windows of The Lace Factory.
