Sarah Worden Natural Design is known for putting an organic spin on traditional design for weddings and special events using unexpected combinations and textural elements. The Litchfield Hills are its greatest source of inspiration, whether it is the perfect dahlia from a local grower or a unique vessel from the potter down the street.
