From Lisa Berry, Photographer: Both creative RISD grads, these two managed to tame their perfectionist, project oriented tendencies, and worked hard to keep their wedding very simple. I was impressed by their restraint when it came to the details. They focused on the big picture, on their relationships and the things that really mattered, and the day felt substantial and joyful. They were high school sweethearts, so the wedding was a long time coming!
Emily knew just where to splurge and where to hold back and managed this sweet wedding on a modest budget. The whole event felt balanced, and in perfect proportion, much like the bride herself. They invited a small gathering of best friends and family and held the ceremony in the garden behind their Cape Cod Bed & Breakfast. Jon’s step-mother made the flower arrangements with Emily’s ideas, and they added a soft subtle color to the reception rooms. The garden basically adorned itself, and they added only the white japanese lanterns and a very natural arch at the front. Photography was a splurge for them, and they brought in a film photographer and fellow RISD grad.
Cupcakes were brought in from their favorite bakery in NY – taste over looks with these little cakes, possibly the most scrumptious I have ever had and I eat a lot of wedding cake. The men intentionally left off having boutonnieres, and it gave a clean look to their suits. The maids were chic in short midnight blue sheath dresses, and held small bouquets of gathered roses. While dressing, Emily wanted to recreate a b&w photograph of her mother putting on her veil from a few decades back. In the frame, you can see Emily with her veil in the mirror, and also the original print in the shot.

What type of fabric is the veil made out of? I love how it's amlost invisible. Can we get the designer name? Beautiful dress too!!
What were those adorable manilla tags with the paper doilies used for?!
Where did the bride get her tulle birdcage veil? I've been searching for one just like that!
It's so great to see a unique Cape Cod wedding without the expected seashells and sand. I love it!
LOVE the manilla tags - were they for guests to leave notes? And who made your "Ceremony/Celebration" sign?? Love!
Where are the bridesmaid shoes from? They look really nice against the navy blue dresses.
What a lovely wedding! The bride looks gorgeous (love the dress!), and the feeling is very romantic.
To the bride, if you're looking to sell the wooden sign indicating "ceremony/celebration," I would be happy to buy it!
what a beautiful dress and i love their table plan!
Your shoes are gorgeous! If you don't mind, can I ask what brand they are and where you bought them?
Thanks so much for all the comments. I loved my veil too. I picked it up right before the wedding. It is from this tiny shop in NYC called Bridal Veil Falls. The woman is older and has been making veils for years. She does all the work to order and is so easy to work with and not at all pricey.

My shoes are Kate Spade. I can't remember the who makes the girls shoes. I let them do the shopping.
My talented Mom made the ceremony and celebration sign the day before.
The Manilla cards are a guest book. The maid of honer glued the dollies on the manila cards (all supplies from Staples). They were for the guest to write notes and they were put on a tree at the entrance.
This wedding is BEAUTIFUL. I am from Brewster and am considering having my wedding at the Sea Pines Inn...I would love to know what you thought of the Inn and if you would recommend it. Did you have guests stay at the Inn/ how many people attended your wedding? One of my concerns was that with the number of people at my receptions (planning on around 110) there may not be enough room for dancing etc.
Anyway, thanks so much for any suggestions you may have!
Hi Megan,
Your post was on our one year anniversary, how funny!
I had the exact same concern when we choose the Sea Pines for our wedding. But honestly the space was perfect. I had exactly 100 guest and it was not over crowded and there was plenty of dancing that night. I would say the smaller size felt cozy in a friendly way. We did have people stay at the inn but a lot of guests stayed down the road at ocean's edge. People stayed late and had great weekend! If i had to do it all again i would still use Sea Pines. I will always have amazing memories of that day. The owners of the Inn let me do what ever i wanted for decorations and we very accomidating.
Good luck planning your wedding! And don't forget to savor every moment, it goes by so fast.
