The Eolia Mansion at Harkness Memorial Park is one of the many hidden gems in the state of Connecticut to host a wedding celebration. Anything but a wedding factory, the spectacular mansion and elaborately manicured grounds exude the warmth, charm, and romance of a bygone era. In the peak of the summer season, the colors and textures of the surrounding gardens make this venue an obvious choice for a bride looking for a truly unique backdrop for her wedding day.
The 'Kristy' Gown fromChaviano Couture is a wonderful choice for a wedding at Eolia. The delicate hand painted skirt with blush tones and abstract watercolor flowers  would perfectly compliment a garden wedding ceremony. I would suggest a bouquet with tone on tones shades of whites and ivories with natural elements of berries and soft foliage, to really allow the subtle shades of pink in the skirt to shine through. Bridesmaids could be dressed in a flowing silk organza bridesmaids dress in a deep shade of rose. Groom & Groomsmen in a classic black tuxedo with a soft ivory pocket square. Set amongst the vibrant rose bushes and climbing ivy of Eolia's sunken garden- this bridal party photos would be simply stunning!
