Alex & Breck - A Spring Wedding in Connecticut - Hartford Golf Club Wedding

Alex & Breck got married on a beautiful Spring day in Hartford, Connecticut. They met while in college at Sewanee: University of the South, in Tennessee.  From the first time I met them at their wedding cake tasting at our Cheshire, Connecticut studio,  I could see that they just exuded love for each other.  Take an inside look at their beautiful Spring wedding!

A glorious day for a Spring wedding at St. John's Church in West Hartford, Connecticut

The gorgeous custom wedding flowers at the reception and lush bride's bouquet created by Jane Rynalski from Just For You Flower Design.

The wedding cake we created for Alex & Breck consisted of five round tiers with alternating flavors: White Tahitian vanilla cake with layers of raspberry and French vanilla mousseline & Dark chocolate cake with layers of chocolate mousseline and bittersweet ganache over raspberry preserves. "Not only did the cake look beautiful, but it tasted delicious!" were the words I heard from Alex's mom when she called me the day after the wedding.  It always makes our day when we hear that the guests raved about the wedding cake!

Vanilla meringue buttercream and Swiss white fondant finished cake, with hand-molded fondant pearls borders, gumpaste monogram, and cascading hand-made sugar flowers.

Wedding cake details: Gumpaste custom monogram plaque with piped initials painted with pearl dust, hand-molded pearls, & cascading sugar flowers
