Real Wedding: Sarah and Reid, V

Amanda Herzberger of Orchard Cove Photography sent us today’s featured wedding and it’s just lovely. Sarah is one of those brides that reminds us of what is really important in planning a wedding…to not sweat the small stuff, to show a sense of grace and elegance even when the skies rain on your parade…

A few last words from Sarah…

Off to the reception! What would a Cape Cod wedding be without East Dennis Oysters?? We served tapas, family style on the tables in multiple courses. Chef Paul Lively of Brewster did a fantastic job with the food. For dessert, again, we went against tradition and did without a cake. Instead, my Mom made cookies, Reid’s uncles made their famous family Ice Cream, and we had cupcakes. We had a self-serve dessert bar. Reid is a musician and we both love Latin jazz, so we hired the fantastic Carlos deLeon Band from Providence, RI, to provide the salsa music. Everyone had a blast. It was such a relaxed, enjoyable, intimate party!

Thank you so much to Amanda of Orchard Cove and to Sarah and Reid for sharing their day with us!

Oh and by the way, if you haven’t already checked out Sarah’s absolutely beautiful line of children’s clothing, Sarah Waldo, it’s so worth the trip. You’ll see that her laid back chic style really touches every part of her life!

Real Wedding: Sarah and Reid, IV

A bit more from Sarah, the gorgeous bride from today’s featured wedding…

Children made up our wedding party; all kids I have nannied for; two from NYC while I was a student at Parsons and the other two from the Cape, whom Reid had taught tennis to as well. I made the girl’s dresses using styles from my children’s clothing line in silk the color of sea glass. I added bolero jackets in with beading the like the inside of seashells to dress them up a bit. Noah, our ring bearer, wore seersucker pants from Crew Cuts and a boy’s linen guayabera from My Cuban Store. While we were all getting ready, he spotted a boater hat of my father’s and it was the perfect addition. I got ready with my family and the kids – even doing my mom’s hair and my own.

More to come!
