One that is neat and tidy, moving smoothly from place to place, or homespun and filled with charm. If there’s one thing we can see from Adrienne’s lengthy portfolio of work, it’s that no two weddings are the same. She makes sure of it. Her career in weddings started while she was working in advertising, but she soon realized it was working with couples to bring their visions to life where she was most passionate. Adrienne took on the position of exclusive Planner/Designer for Island Farm at Elihu Island in 2010, before taking the leap and starting Ruffles & Tweed. The decision transformed her life, and her work has transformed the lives of so many others. The secret to the success of Ruffles & Tweed is Adrienne’s commitment to getting to know clients on a deeper level. She doesn’t just learn what they want, she takes the time to understand why they want something, and the deeper meaning behind that. This approach colors the rest of the design process, with items becoming motifs that can recur throughout the event. The colorful farm-based affair for Elizabeth and Dan showcases her work excellently. This wedding drew on floral and garden imagery, with pieces of terracotta pots used to number the tables and a mini greenhouse was used for the card box display. Fly fishing hooks adorned the groomsmen’s suits in place of Weddings encompass so many things. They’re a celebration, they’re a union, they’re the embodiment of love in its purest form.
