Craft Brews & Celebrations: A Charming Rehearsal Dinner with a Beer Crawl
Planning a personalized wedding rehearsal dinner gives you a great opportunity to share your interests and hobbies with your wedding guests. This couple’s venue was the beautiful Winvian property in Litchfield Hills, Connecticut. Guests dined under a beautiful tent for Kelsey and Ian’s wedding rehearsal dinner and afterwards gathered for a beer crawl from lodge-to-lodge around the venue’s property.
From the welcome bags to the chic picnic tables and lounge furniture under the tent, this pre-wedding event was impeccably designed with no detail left out. The beautiful colors and patterns used throughout the rehearsal dinner reminded us of a fresh spring picnic, up-scale of course! Gorgeous floral designs accented the property at the welcome sign, custom target, and more. Guests were greeted with beautiful stationery for place cards, personalized maps of the property for the beer crawl, welcome bag tags, and more.
We are so thankful to have the photos from Melani Lust Photography to share with you!
