THE WEDDING OF KELLY & DAVID

November 4, 2017 Madison, Connecticut

By Kelly Vaughan

For their beachside nuptials, Kelly Morrone and David Mazzariello wanted to keep every element of their day classic and elegant. An intimate wedding with 125 of their closest family and friends allowed the couple to genuinely connect with everyone in attendance. “We picked Madison Beach Hotel [as our venue] because it was really intimate, and we loved that it was a hotel as well as a function space so all our family and friends could stay there,” says Kelly.

The couple relied on Hamden, Connecticut-based Flowers From the Farm for their classic ivory arrangements. “The owner is a friend of my mom’s, so we were able to be really honest with her about what we did and didn’t want,” says David. Small vases of roses and calla lilies surrounded by candles perfectly executed the simple, classy look they both envisioned.

Black, white and gold flowers embellished their three-tier cake. After going through a series of cake tastings, which David admits was his favorite part of wedding planning, the couple decided on two different flavors—an almond cake with Nutella frosting and a lemon cake with vanilla buttercream from Guilford’s But a Dream Custom Cakes.

Kelly and David’s nearly two-year engagement allowed them to take their time planning each detail without feeling overwhelmed. Plus, they were able to secure the date they wanted: “The earlier you can pick a date, the better. We were shocked that pretty much every Saturday from May to October books up super early,” says David.
