Oh darlings, I’ve been craving a wedding like this… a nautical beauty reminiscent of summer, sand and the sea, planned to perfection by Blissful Events. Beyond the beautiful scenery of Block Island, I can’t help but fall in love with the slightly preppy, but oh-so-romantic details—beachy drift wood place cards, buoy guest book and the dazzling decor from Ryan Designs. I would hug Julia Wade if I could for the stunning imagery she’s filled our galleries with!
From Julia Wade… Liz and Jesse are a very special couple for me. They knew their style through and through and knew immediately they wanted their wedding on Block Island, as the destination offered a beautiful blend of their worlds. Liz grew up on a marina in Rhode Island, and Jesse on sprawling acres of farmland in Connecticut. Block Island boasts just that.. 10 square miles of gorgeous beach front, and undeveloped green farmland. All of their details were put together with care, by Liz herself, an event planner from Manhattan. And Waterford Crystal, one of her clients, generously offered the crystal for her big day. Her maid of honor lovingly hand painted all of the escort cards on driftwood, oysters were shucked at the cocktail hour, and the beautiful palette of corals and navy blues was only highlighted by the beauty of the island. My favorite detail was the engraving of Block Island’s coordinates inside Jesse’s ring.
I can’t begin to tell you the *joy* that was their day. Even the island celebrated with the beautiful weather. I hope you can feel that in these photographs. Thank you again!
