Wedding Story
Vendor Comments: “We wanted to create a styled shoot that not only stands out to couples on the East Coast that are planning a wedding but also to all Love & Lavender readers that might be unaware of the potential that Connecticut offers. This state along with the rest of the East Coast provides ideal beaches and vineyards as backdrops but what about the couples in this area that are looking for something a bit more unique?
“Tamarack Lodge is a fairly new venue for adventurous couples that are inspired by off the grid, woodland weddings without having to travel out of New England! The venue provides many options for ceremony locations, but what they’re known for is their tipi in the woods with a babbling brook and rustic benches for all the guests.
“Our florist decked out the tipi with so much greenery to make the site look beautifully overgrown and enchanting. You truly feel fully immersed in nature during the whole experience that this venue offers.
“Even when inside the lodge, there are so many nods to the great outdoors (including taxidermy for those that are into oddities!)
“We wanted the feel of the wedding to be soft, moody, and intimate while incorporating lots of vintage elements to create an almost abandoned secret garden vibe.
“There’s so much potential to incorporate festival, boho, glamping, or romantic/vintage styled weddings at Tamarack Lodge and we as wedding vendors hope that this shoot can show readers that you don’t always have to travel very far to have the wedding of your dreams.
