After nearly two decades together, high school sweethearts Masha + Orr decided to gather all their friends and fam together to celebrate their commitment to each other.
But the question was: where? The bride + groom were both raised in Miami, FL but are now based in NYC. “Picking a venue turned out to not be so simple,” says the couple, “until we visited the small town of Mystic, Connecticut and fell in love with its beautiful farms, riverside main street, and absolutely charming people.”
As their enchanting + ethereal design vision began to take shape, historic venue Stone Acres Farm proved to be the perfect spot for their celebration. “We loved the idea of a Fall wedding to truly connect with our theme,” the bride + groom say, “and booked our wedding for Friday, October 13th.” Then, together with Coll It Entertaining, Masha + Orr created an intimate day full of meaningful touches, vintage vibes, and an antique mysticism that fit perfectly in Mystic, CT.
And we are so obsessed with the otherworldly feel of these pictures from Claudia Photos!
“From our tarot card themed wedding invitations, florals and seasonal table decor, custom made decor, masquerade table favor masks and fortune teller entertainment,” say Masha + Orr, “we felt like our entire day was a dream.”
“From each moment of the day music was a key element,” Masha + Orr say. “We displayed our personalities by using scores from movies to walk down the aisle, Moonlight Serenade by Glenn Miller orchestra and the like at cocktail hour, and original songs from our favorite spooky movies and TV shows during reception.”
Then—thanks to Power Posse Productions—it was time to dance! “Once our first and parent dances were complete, the party turned up and we boogied to disco, electronic, and everything in between.”
“Celestial operator” Beth Metal stopped by to provide Masha, Orr, and their guests with tarot readings and spiritual insights.
We are absolutely DAZZLED by Masha’s long sleeved sequin mini reception dress by Nadine Merabi!
This two-tier chocolate drizzle fresh fruit-adorned wedding cake from Zest Fresh Pastry looks beyond delicious.
