GALA Weddings Magazine Launch Party

Last week, the historic Bee & Thistle Inn and Spa hosted a party to honor our most recent issue of GALA Weddings magazine and the “All-American Elegance,” Jacqueline Kennedy–inspired photo shoot, which we featured on page 45. Our editor, KB, joined the Inn’s owner Linnea Rufo, her husband, David, and a fabulous group of wedding professionals for an amazing evening filled with beautiful music and delicious cocktails…

The shoot’s fashion on display, including the amazing Anne Barge gown:
