Stylish At-Home Wedding Rehearsal Dinner in Connecticut
Celebrating the night before your wedding day should be fun, chic and intimate - like this rehearsal dinner! Ei and Ryan celebrated with their closest family and friends at a friends home in Connecticut - but before you think backyard picnic, think again, because this at-home rehearsal dinner was simply stylish. From decor to attire, every detail was thought out and chic.
Today’s wedding rehearsal dinner is a home run pre-wedding event complete with a bar truck where guests could pour their choice of wine or beer from the tap. We loved the couple’s details throughout the event with their photos scattered perfectly. But the best moment of all goes to that grand entrance in their chic red convertible.
We are so excited to have the photos from Melani Lust Photography to share!
