A sailcloth tent hosted the dinner and dancing portion of the evening and was where Kimberly and Peter's vision for the day truly came to life. As a surprise, Peter made a grand entrance to the ceremony, riding in on a firetruck-a nod to his job. Cocktail hour followed on the property’s expansive lawn, as well as in the charming historic barn, where guests nibbled on pint-size eats like tomato soup shooters and mini-grilled cheese and played lawn games. Small bouquets of baby’s breath arranged in mason jars dotted the aisle, while the wedding party’s bouquets of brilliant purple, white and yellow blooms added a fresh pop of color to the expansive outdoor space. “We wanted the ceremony to be simple and personal, which is exactly what it was.” The couple opted for understated decor to let the beauty of the setting shine through. “We had a unity piece written by my sister-in-law’s mother, which was read by our mothers,” Kimberly says. Framed by two majestic birch trees, Kimberly and Peter exchanged heartfelt vows. The day unfolded with an outdoor ceremony overlooking the lush landscape and rolling hills of the Candlewood Mountain valley. “It had the rustic feel that we were going for, and everyone was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery,” Kimberly says. Set on a 600-acre estate surrounded by quaint ponds, paddocks and meadows, the Candlelight Farms Inn provided a picturesque backdrop for the elegant affair. For their late-summer wedding in New Milford, Connecticut, Kimberly Brady (28 and a recruiter) and Peter Aquilino (33 and a professional firefighter) pulled off a relaxed outdoor soiree that exuded rustic charm and sophistication.
