I’ve tried to come up with the perfect way to describe this breathtaking wedding by Lauren + Abby Photography at the oh so gorgeous Ocean House, and I can honestly say words just don’t do it justice. It’s one of those weddings were you can literally get lost in the full gallery of images, and still be speechless from all the prettiness at the end of the day. So get ready to be stunned, because this soiree is as seaside chic as they come.

From the bride… Our wedding was my dream combination of my past, present and future. My husband and I met in ski academy high school in Vermont but fell out of touch for over 10 years before we literally ran into each other on the streets of Manhattan, where we were both living. We fell in love with each other as friends and then he became the love of my life. Our photographers were also friends of ours from high school. My bridesmaids are the family I found when I moved to the big city from Vermont. The wedding was in Watch Hill, the town where I want my grandchildren to play on the beach in, as my cousins and I did as children. The gorgeous church across from the Ocean House holds memories of my grandparents and now my wedding. I was left my grandmother’s engagement ring after she passed away, and my husband also was given his grandmother’s ring when she passed away. I wore them both along with a cross given to me by my parents on a chain my husband gave me before the wedding. It was a way to have our loved ones that could not be there close to our hearts. I feel so blessed to have this wonderful town in my life and it was the perfect place to get married.
The theme was inspired by the colors of sea glass. The focus was on having a wonderful weekend. Incredible food, bright and sunny drinks and amazing company made it the best weekend of my life.
Special thanks to Carla from Elements Flowers who was not only an amazing help with the flowers but everything else we did, and to Geoff who made sure our photo booth was a huge success! We custom-ordered our frames from Etsy after trying for a month to find cute photo booth frames and I was thrilled with the result. The bridesmaids’ dresses were custom-made by the extremely talented and sweet Katie Ermilio. Our parents were the most amazing support team during the entire wedding process. It was amazing to have our wonderful parents, incredible friends and beautiful memories made during our sunny wedding weekend in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.
