Uncommon Feasts x Hummingbird Bridal Pop-Up Feast (#3)

Amanda Connor March 31, 2018

This was the third opportunity that we have had in the past year to partner with the divine team from Uncommon Feasts to design a pop-up feast to celebrate the season. Michelle Mulford, Owner and Head Chef of Uncommon Feasts, partnered with an incredible cast of local artisans for this feast that included handmade wooden serving platters from John Francis Designs, a signature chai from Curio Spice and a variety of foods from local farms and purveyors (like Buckle Farm, New Deal Fish Market and Formaggio Kitchen) to create a finely curated feast for the eyes and the taste buds.

Ali and Kyle at Belle Mer

Amanda Connor February 6, 2018

Picture it: Floor-to-ceiling windows in an all-white building that sits directly on the waterfront in Newport. Long white curtains blow in the breeze of the open doors and cool salty air floats across the grassy lawn that leads down to the water. But the sunsets are the real gem at this venue.

A Hummingbird Bridal Maternity Shoot featured on The Bump

Amanda Connor February 5, 2018

It's not often (ok, it's never...) that I get in front of a camera. I prefer to be behind the scenes doing the styling, design and conceptual work, but given my current state (7 months pregnant) and the fact that I am very blessed to know so many talented photographers and stylists, it seemed only fitting that for once I would give myself over to the vulnerability and excitement of being in front of a professional camera.

Steph wanted a hip, modern, urban chic downtown wedding. Brennan had his heart set on a classic, idyllic New England sophisticated Estate wedding. So what did they do? They did both. In one day.  The ceremony was held at Barcelona in Boston and the reception was held at The Crane Estate.

Abigail and Tom at Overbrook House

Amanda Connor October 30, 2017

The bridal party started the morning with a swim in the beautiful pool at this gorgeous Cape Cod property while the Hummingbird Bridal team got to work arranging flowers gathered from nearby flower fields. Overbook House is a private home located on Cape Cod that you can rent for the week. The surrounding hills and fields provide organic spots for beautiful ceremonies, and the carriage house on the far end of the property is the perfect space for celebrating into the wee hours.

The Hummingbird Bridal Story and The Philosophy That Drives Us

Amanda Connor September 4, 2017

I recently had the extreme honor of meeting with News Macarons founder, Hannah Foerster, to discuss women in business and the challenges of starting and maintaining your own business. 

Hannah has a gift for drawing extreme honesty out of her interviewees, and in doing this interview I found that I could comfortably share the fears and challenges that we faced as my husband and I established Hummingbird Bridal and Events together. 

To read the full interview and to understand more about who we are and how we truly came to be, read Hannah's full interview here: https://newsmacarons.com/mandy-connor-hummingbird-bridal/

A very special thank you to Hannah for giving us the opportunity to share our story, and my deepest thanks to all of the strong and empowered women who have served as inspiration and mentors to me as I navigate my own journey. As Hannah summarized, "it's important that we focus on the light that we generate together." (Photo courtesy of Alexandra Roberts.)

Michele and Erik on Thompson Island

Amanda Connor January 14, 2017

Everything was going perfectly prior to the arrival of our raccoon-friend! Thompson Island provided an amazing backdrop to this unique wedding day. Ferries were coordinated to shuttle guests to the island where they were treated to refined barbecue and seafood, extremely rare and hard-to-find craft beer options and homemade pie and cookies. For these true beer lovers, Bittersweet Gardens designed long trails of beautiful hop-filled garlands to decorate every inch of the reception space.
