Ivy and Tyler's Connecticut wedding in early September was a polished hybrid of a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony at the family home, and a scaled back Western ceremony and reception at The Lace Factory in Deep River. With a change of outfits and only family in attendance, this wedding proved that you can have it all without going all out in your planning and guest invites!
