Massachusetts Wedding Ideas and Inspiration

A Winter Editorial Rooted in Heritage, Historic Elegance, and Heirloom Romance at The Mount

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]

Inspired by the idea that historic homes quietly absorb the lives lived within them, this editorial reflects how modern couples step into spaces shaped by generations past, adding something entirely their own. The design narrative centers on the concept of inheritance: not only what we are given, but what we choose to carry forward. It is a dialogue between old and new, tradition and reinterpretation. We intentionally wove in elements from previous generations – heirloom vintage silverware passed down through families, classic Ginori 1735 china, Italian linens, antique silver, and calligraphed menus – to honor the rituals and craftsmanship of the past. These pieces were balanced with a fresh, contemporary palette and playful patterning, creating a layered aesthetic that feels both reverent and modern. At its heart, this editorial is a reflection on continuity – on love carried through space, ritual, and memory. It reminds us that while we inherit places, stories, and traditions, we also have the freedom to reinterpret them, leaving behind something meaningful and uniquely our own.

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Warm winter tones of brown, neutral pink, and deep burgundy were used to mirror the palette of Edith Wharton’s boudoir. Together, they create a sense of richness and warmth indoors, standing in beautiful contrast to the stark white snow just beyond the windows.

[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]

Set within the storied walls of The Mount, the former home of Edith Wharton, this editorial examines the idea of inheritance through a contemporary lens. Wharton was, after all, a storyteller; it felt fitting to consider how modern couples enter spaces already steeped in history, and how they, in turn, add a chapter of their own. Every element was chosen to feel as though it belonged. The setting felt collected rather than styled – resonant with the past while remaining unmistakably of its moment. A grazing table for cocktail hour was layered with texture, fruit, and florals, while the reception was set within the gallery for an intimate celebration among the couple’s closest friends and family. Rather than imposing a new aesthetic, the design listened to the house itself. The Italian marble fireplace and architectural details echoed through our choice of linens, and the color palette was drawn directly from Wharton’s iconic burgundy toile boudoir. As evening fell, the couple slipped away to the library for a dirty martini, surrounded by Wharton’s book collection. In that moment, they weren’t just guests of the house; they were both readers and writers of its stories, adding their own chapter to a narrative that has been handed down through generations.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]

The bride’s first look was a drop-waist Mikado ball gown. The silhouette was pure drama. A plunging sweetheart neckline, framed by sculptural U-wire detailing, gave way to a precisely constructed bodice that felt structured yet feminine. But it was the skirt that truly captivated — a sweeping masterpiece crafted with over 14 yards of satin layered atop structured netting and lining to create exaggerated volume and movement. Finished with horsehair at the hem for added shape and a scalloped zipper guard for a couture-level detail, the gown delivered a regal presence that mirrored the grandeur of the historic setting. It was a statement in modern romance – bold, intentional, and unforgettable. For the second look, the gown offered a softer, more intricate counterpoint: a beaded mermaid silhouette layered in Chantilly lace, glitter tulle, and hand-placed appliqués. The sweetheart neckline and delicate peplum detail created an elongated, sculpted shape, while the sheer bodice gave the illusion of lace floating against the skin. Dozens of appliqués were meticulously arranged over 25 hours, with hundreds of beads, sequins, and pearls applied by hand — each detail catching the light with a quiet shimmer. A sweeping 100-inch train and pearl button accents added just enough drama for the evening, proving that delicacy and impact can coexist beautifully.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The florals, in shades of pink, burnt orange, and deep purple, celebrated the richness of the winter season. The escort table was layered with overflowing fruits and vegetables, interwoven with blooms for a lush, textured effect. Garden-style arrangements of tulips, roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus were crafted to feel abundant yet curated – overflowing, layered, and natural, but never wild, striking the perfect balance between opulence and understated elegance.

[/field]
[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]

One example of traditions reimagined: the couple chose to get ready together. This allowed their wedding morning to unfold much like their everyday life. Side by side, they shared quiet, intimate moments – fastening final details and lingering in each other’s arms. Rather than feeling staged, the morning felt deeply personal, offering a genuine glimpse into their life as a couple and how they begin their days together. Instead of retreating indoors in the low temperatures, the couple embraced the snow, letting the season shape their memories. Stepping outside into the crisp air, the landscape became a backdrop that felt both romantic and real. The bride’s choice to pair her robe with her trusty L.L.Bean boots added a playful, practical touch – a reminder that authenticity often makes the most meaningful statement.

[/field]
[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]

1. Embrace Layered Abundance. Think in textures and heights: mix lush garden-style florals with fruits, vegetables, and greenery for depth. Layer blooms, tulips, roses, ranunculus, and lisianthus over varying surfaces to create a natural yet luxurious feel. The goal is abundant without ever feeling chaotic. 2. Lean on Seasonal Richness Winter-inspired shades like deep purple, burgundy, burnt orange, and blush pink bring warmth and depth. Let your palette flow across flowers, linens, and tableware for cohesion that feels thoughtful and intentional. 3. Mix Old and New Combine heirloom pieces and antiques – like vintage tableware or classic linens – with contemporary textures and modern patterns. This creates visual interest and grounds the design in both history and the present. 4. Let the Space Speak Historic estates have their own stories. Pull inspiration from architectural details, fireplaces, or existing color palettes to ensure the design feels collected rather than imposed. 5. Balance Opulence with Intimacy. Abundance is beautiful, but scale matters. Keep arrangements layered and overflowing, yet proportioned to the space. This ensures luxury feels welcoming, not overwhelming. 6. Infuse Personal Moments Steal a moment away for the couple – whether it’s a quiet drink in a library or a private walk through the gardens. These intimate touches connect the design to the people at the core of the celebration, not just the aesthetics. 7. Play With Edible Deco:r Incorporate fruits, vegetables, or even small edible accents into tablescapes or grazing stations. They add color, texture, and a sense of generosity, while keeping arrangements dynamic and layered.

[/field]
[field title=”DIY Moments”]

While history and luxury defined the atmosphere, it was the intimate, personal moments that gave the celebration its soul. Handwritten letters exchanged between the couple formed quiet, sentimental vignettes, while calligraphy place cards and menus carried an intentional, heirloom-quality, thoughtful piece to be cherished long after this special day has passed. Vintage silverware passed down through generations, and the layered textures on the grazing table introduced a sense of collection and continuity, grounding the design in something tangible. On the escort table, an artful arrangement of fruits, vegetables, and seasonal blooms created a feeling of abundance and depth without excess – a reminder that it is often the simplest, most intentional moments that bring a celebration fully to life.

A New England Wedding with Coastal Touches and Hydrangea-Lined Elegance at Wychmere Beach Club

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The wedding colors were Sage Green, Olive Green, and White.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The overall effect honored Cape Cod’s relaxed refinement while maintaining a sense of structure and intention throughout the space.

[/field]

That same location later became the backdrop for their engagement session, allowing their story to unfold consistently and with continuity from proposal to wedding day.[/field]

The combination felt quietly luxurious, adding refinement through texture and scale rather than excess, and echoed the natural beauty of the Cape without competing with it.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

The wedding cake was a two-tier, buttercream-finished design created by Wychmere Beach Club, intentionally understated in presentation. The triple vanilla flavor—vanilla cake layered with custard and vanilla buttercream—felt classic and comforting, aligning seamlessly with the couple’s overall vision. It was displayed simply, allowing craftsmanship and flavor to take precedence over embellishment.

It was a moment defined by quiet intensity and genuine connection, setting the tone for the day that followed.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Krista handwrote a personal note to each guest, thoughtfully placed at their seat as both a place card and keepsake. This gesture added an intimate layer to the reception, making each guest feel individually acknowledged and deeply valued. It was a simple yet powerful detail that reflected the couple’s generosity and care.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]As the sun began to set, Krista and Paul stepped away for portraits that felt editorial yet unforced, allowing the natural light to guide the moment. The images captured during this time were soft, romantic, and deeply intentional, with the horizon and shifting sky adding quiet drama. These moments felt like a pause in the celebration—gracious, unhurried, and filled with meaning.[/field]

An Elevated Chatham Bars Inn Wedding Rooted in Family, History, and Coastal Romance

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Blue, white, green, tan[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Abigail and David’s wedding was not only an elevated coastal party at the Chatham Bars Inn, but a celebration of their unique journey of love. “I knew from the time I was eight that it’s where I wanted to get married,” wrote Abigail, who had spent summers there with her family. Muted tones cast a soft, romantic aura over the celebration, while cozy, thoughtful details brought family to the forefront. The couple noted that their long-shared history, along with friends and family who had known one another for years, made the night feel like one big family celebration.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Abigail was immediately drawn to David’s confidence when they met at age ten in their fifth-grade homeroom class. They spent their days passing notes and flirting in the hallways. This on-and-off middle school romance continued over the years until they found their way back to each other at a summer party before senior year. From that moment on, they were inseparable. “Our senior prom sealed the deal,” they shared. After college, Brooklyn Heights became their haven, where they spent countless days walking the Promenade with coffee in hand, watching the city across the river. One evening, during one of those walks, David got down on one knee. “It was simple, heartfelt, and perfectly us,” Abigail recalled. After seventeen years of knowing each other and a decade of dating, they celebrated their love with family and friends at the iconic Long Island Bar, reminiscing about every twist and turn of their story.[/field]

A Grand Cape Cod Celebration Inspired by Italian Style and Maximalist Details

[section title=”The Planning”]

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Both entering their second marriage, Nicole and Tucker wanted to celebrate in a grand, unforgettable fashion! Bringing Italy to Cape Cod, the couple opted for a maximalist design style with neutral tones of white, olive green, and dusty blue decorating Tucker’s seaside family home.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]From a dating app to a proposal in the City of Love — Nicole and Tucker’s story truly showcases the transformative power of finding the right person! After connecting online, the pair went on their first date at a local steakhouse in Boston. The connection was instant, and they made things official right away! Following a Christmas trip to Germany with Nicole’s family, Tucker whisked her away for a few days alone in Paris to ring in the new year. He popped the question while walking along the Pont Alexandre III bridge overlooking the Eiffel Tower. Unbeknownst to Nicole, a local photographer was waiting in the wings to capture the moment she said yes![/field]

An Enchanted Conservatory Wedding Blending Organic Warmth With Modern Design

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”][/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

BRIDE: We wanted the color palette and decor to evoke an organic and natural warmth. We also really loved the idea of bringing the outside in, with lush greenery and even real trees! The idea was to make our guests feel like they were at a cozy dinner party under the trees. Our vendor team went above and beyond and completely transformed the space into exactly that! It was amazing!

PLANNER: The overall theme was an “enchanted conservatory,” blending warmth and organic elements into the sleek, modern architecture of the ICA. The Brilliant Event Planning team made the planning process so easy, seamless, and fun! Sarah and her team were incredible. From day one, they understood our vision and did an amazing job bringing it to life! Truly the best team.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

BRIDE: Tim planned a weekend away in Burlington, Vermont. Before dinner, we went to the coziest wine bar, and then while walking over to our next stop, Tim took us through a park in the center of town. It was snowing, all the trees were lit up, and the park was empty beside the two of us; that’s when Tim proposed!

BRIDE: My wedding dress was a custom design. I landed on a custom dress because, although I was looking for a very simple dress, I was having such a difficult time finding the exact design that fit my body best! That’s when I found Bre at Bremelia – a custom wedding dress shop in Boston. It was such a fun and exciting process to work on the design with Bre and see the dress transition from sketch to actuality! Aa ‘trust the process’ moment, but that was what was so cool about it.

BRIDE: We both love food, so this was very important to us during the planning process. We wanted to make sure that from cocktail hour to dinner to the late-night snacks that our guests were well fed! The team at The Catered Affair did such a great job, and our friends are still talking about the heirloom tomato salad.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

BRIDE: For floral designs, we wanted something that was both classic and timeless, but also organic. Given the modern design of the ICA, we knew we had to find the perfect balance between the two as we did not want the space to feel too rustic. Shawna at Wild Dahlia did just that! She mixed timeless white florals with potted plants, and it was absolutely beautiful!

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

PLANNER: The wedding cake was created by their caterer, The Catered Affair – a Lemon Summer Berry Wedding Cake featuring vanilla cake, lemon curd, fresh red raspberries, and vanilla buttercream. It was the perfect light and sweet addition to their June celebration. For the design, the couple opted for something simple and elegant. Wild Dahlia added a delicate touch of greenery, seamlessly tying the cake into the secret garden aesthetic of their wedding.

[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

BRIDE: The entire day was so special – what we loved the most was having all of our favorite people in one place. One of our favorite parts of the day was our ceremony. Libby’s brother was ordained to marry us, and we both wrote our vows. The ceremony was very much ‘us.’ On top of that, it was very cool to look up and see all our family and friends sitting on the ICA steps watching us get married!

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

BRIDE: The dance floor was also one of our favorite parts of the day. The dancing was non-stop and so much fun. The band, Café Wha, exceeded expectations.

A Charming Coastal Celebration at Home on Martha’s Vineyard

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Green & white[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Brooke and Craig brought their love story full circle by hosting their nuptials where it all started: Craig’s summer home in Martha’s Vineyard. Inspired by the island’s coastal vibes, they opted for an elegant New England aesthetic with romantic floral prints, natural wicker accents, and soft shades of green and blue. The couple was wed by Brooke’s uncle at a historic church nearby. After the ceremony, the party moved back to Craig’s family home, where guests mingled during a poolside cocktail hour, followed by a tented reception.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Despite growing up just 15 miles apart in Massachusetts, Brooke and Craig didn’t cross paths until attending the same college in Ohio. They were both on the party planning committee of a business school club when they connected and fell for one another. For their first date, Craig took Brooke to his family’s summer home in Martha’s Vineyard. Several years later, the pair were visiting family back home in Boston when Craig popped the question to Brooke on their way to brunch. She said yes! When they arrived at the restaurant, Brooke was surprised to find both sides of their family waiting to celebrate![/field]

“Immediately following our wedding, we spent one week in Provence, France. It was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. We stayed primarily in Crillon Le Brave, where we enjoyed the gorgeous scenery, drank local wine, and ate far too much bread and cheese! We rented a car and visited several Provincial villages throughout the trip, which provided plenty of interesting history, fantastic food, and kind locals. We were exhausted after our wedding weekend, so it was great to have a quick and easy “mini-moon”. We are currently planning for a big two-week honeymoon trip to Southeast Asia in time to celebrate our first anniversary!”

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Brooke and Craig’s best wedding advice? “When it comes to design, go with your first instinct! It’s so easy to get decision fatigue, so don’t be afraid to trust your gut. Also, make sure to build in 1:1 time with your spouse; it’s amazing how quickly the day flies by. I’m so glad Craig and I were intentional about having a few minutes to ourselves to soak in the joy of the day. For example, just the two of us took photos after our ceremony on our friend’s dock in Edgartown Harbor. This allowed us to be together without the crowd while also capturing some amazing shots!”

A Blossoming Coastal Garden Party Wedding on Martha’s Vineyard at Daniel Fisher House

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]White, dusty blue, peach[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Madelyn and Christopher’s garden party-inspired wedding beautifully embraced the late-summer blooms of Martha’s Vineyard, with the island’s coastal charm serving as the perfect backdrop. Madelyn drew inspiration from the vibrant gardens on their venue’s property, blossoming with incredible color.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]During their freshman year at Providence College, Chris invited Madelyn to join a study group for their final exam – a moment that marked the beginning of their journey together. Nearly a decade later, their bond has grown stronger through college memories and post-grad adventures. In June 2023, Chris proposed during a weekend trip to Martha’s Vineyard, planned as a kickoff to summer with Madelyn’s family. That evening, their group had dinner reservations in Edgartown. Chris devised a clever plan, telling Madelyn that their reservations were delayed. He suggested the two take a stroll to the lighthouse to catch the sunset. With a sailboat drifting in the distance, Chris knelt down and revealed a treasured heirloom: Madelyn’s grandmother’s ring. Overwhelmed by the sentimental ring, Madelyn said yes. Chris’s family was hiding in the brush nearby, secretly capturing the moment in photos. [/field]

“Madelyn is a middle school teacher, so we are headed on our honeymoon in June when school gets out. We are planning to go to the French Riviera and the Amalfi Coast to celebrate our Nuptials. Madelyn is actually a French teacher and we are super excited to go away!”

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]”The advice we would give future couples planning their wedding is to take a moment to enjoy every aspect of their wedding celebration. Many times throughout the weekend, we took a step back and looked at the event taking place in front of us with all the people we love most all together in one place. We made sure to enjoy every moment and every event and note how incredible it was for this to be about celebrating our love and our lives together. Through these moments, we really realized how fortunate we are to be surrounded by so much love and joy.”[/field]

Gabby and Tom’s wedding at Edith Wharton’s estate, The Mount, embraced a timeless color palette of sage green, dusty rose, and ivory.

A Chic Winter Wedding at Boston’s Mandarin Hotel

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Black, White, Gold, Beige[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Jessica Hennessey Weddings imagined a sophisticated winter wedding in the heart of the city at the luxurious Mandarin Hotel. This design exuded modern elegance with a chic palette of black, white, and gold, capturing a timeless sophistication that is both bold and glamorous.

A crisp neutral floral palette, accented with rosey hues and deep burgundy accents lent a fresh, wintry feel, while a mix of sleek black and gold linens elevated each table setting, creating a stunning contrast. Tall glass candle holders cast a warm, ambient glow, reflecting softly off of polished gold accents throughout the space.

Modern, overhead floral installations set an enchanted garden tone for an unforgettable evening. With every detail, from minimalist place cards to a classic white-tiered cake adorned with floral accents, this winter wedding at the Mandarin is a celebration of modern chic sophistication.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]From Gianna + Craig: We had the most perfect low-key proposal on Christmas Eve! We were spending time with our families in the kitchen when Craig said he had something he wanted to show me in the living room. Every year we had purchased a new ornament for our Christmas tree to grow a collection together, but that year, we had not purchased one. Walking into the living room, Craig told me he went and bought an ornament to add to our collection and told me to look for it. Once I found it, he mentioned what it represented and then started to talk about our future together. He then dropped down on one knee and proposed! I’m sure many couples can relate when we say the rest was a bit of a blur because of the rush of emotions we were both feeling, but it was the perfect evening. We were able to experience the intimate moment of having our proposal be just us two then having our families come in and celebrate afterwards. [/field]

[section title=”The Fashion”]
[field title=”Wedding Gown”]From Gianna: I had ideas on what I was looking for in a wedding gown, and this dress exceeded all of those expectations. At Reem Acra, I first saw this dress with my mom, mother in law, sister and aunt and it blew me away. Toward the end of the appointment, the dress consultant said she had one more dress to show me that didn’t have long sleeves (something I really wanted) but thought it perfectly fit the vibe of our wedding. The second she brought the dress in and took it out of the bag, I had a jolt in my body and said “I think that is my dress.” I know it is cliche, but it really was a pinch me moment. I tried it on and everyone had a rush of emotions and also felt it was the one. Since it was my third appointment trying on dresses, though, I was very nervous to say it was the dress because there are just so many options and I was afraid I didn’t try on enough. I went on to try more dresses but ultimately kept comparing all other ones to that one. I then knew that was my dress and went to try it back on. I had the same feelings as I did when I first tried it on and knew it was my dress! We were able to add custom gloves for a sleeve effect, which made it even that more special!

[field title=”Food & Drink”]From Gianna + Craig: We wanted to make sure people always had access to food and drink with little to no wait throughout the night. With that in mind, we added another bar in the Mandarin’s cocktail space and had both passed hors d’oeuvres and extra stations during cocktail hour. The Mandarin provided the best drinks and most delicious food! We still get compliments from people on how the food for cocktail hour and dinner was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. It’s truly top notch![/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Gianna + Craig’s wedding design radiated refined elegance and luxury, transforming the Mandarin Ballroom into a sanctuary of modern sophistication. It was super important to them that their wedding feel winter and not holiday-focused, considering their date was early December. We created an opulent canopy of lush florals, blending neutral floral, soft rosey tones, and deep crimson accents, created two ethereal overhead installations that captivated guests and elevated the room ambiance with the feeling they were looking to achieve.

The tablescapes were draped in rich, black velvet and shimmery gold linens, perfectly offset by gilded chargers that added a lavish touch of grandeur. Delicate taper candles in sleek glass cylinders cast a warm, ambient glow, enhancing the intimate yet opulent atmosphere. Low, meticulously arranged floral compositions mirrored the overhead blooms, unifying the design with a sense of balance and artistry.

Every detail curated with Gianna + Craig was meant to evoke a feeling of upscale, contemporary elegance, creating a truly memorable and sophisticated city wedding experience. Molly Anne Photography captured this feeling in the most perfect way![/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]From Gianna + Craig: We chose a private cake cutting! The day is such a whirlwind of a day that we wanted to have a private moment between us. Everything happens so fast and we felt this was a way for us to reconnect and soak in the day just us two with no audience. After our room reveal, we got to cut it together and get a delicious taste just the two of us before the night’s festivities continued.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Leslie Lee Floral Design’s overhead floral installations were a statement of understated luxury and meticulous craftsmanship. Cascading from the Ryan Designs ceiling trellis, each arrangement featured a carefully curated neutral palette, punctuated by deep burgundy and crimson blooms for contrast. The lush, cascading greenery added texture and volume, creating a suspended canopy that softened the space while introducing a refined, gardenesque element. Each stem and smilax branch was strategically placed to create a balanced, layered effect that felt both abundant and intentional. The installations hovered just above eye level, inviting guests to immerse in the details up close. [/field]

A Quintessential Cape Cod Wedding Day at Chatham Bars Inn

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The colors for Siri and Austin’s wedding were a beautifully curated blend that reflected both the coastal setting and their personal style. Soft blues, inspired by hydrangeas in various shades, formed the foundation of the palette. These blues ranged from delicate sky tones to deeper oceanic hues, evoking the serene coastal atmosphere. To add contrast and dimension, navy blue was introduced, bringing depth and richness to the overall look. In addition to the blue tones, Botanique added vibrant pops of color
throughout the floral arrangements. Bold hues of pink, orange, and purple brought energy and excitement, while shades of green provided a natural, earthy balance. Warm tones like yellow, peach, and blush transitioned smoothly into the blue-dominant palette, making the arrangement feel seamless and harmonious. Overall, the palette not only reflected the couple’s love for the ocean but also brought in playful, vibrant elements that made the day feel joyful and uniquely theirs.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Siri and Austin envisioned a “Cape Cod Chic” wedding, blending the charm of a Charleston garden party with the coastal elegance of Cape Cod. They asked their guests to embrace bold and colorful attire with patterned dresses and suits, adding to the festive and luxurious atmosphere. Their goal was to create a seamless experience, where guests could move effortlessly between the beautiful buildings of Chatham Bars Inn’s extensive property, enjoying the day with ease and elegance. The florals and details were
designed to exude luxury, enhancing the overall sophisticated yet joyful vibe.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Austin proposed New Years Eve (2022-2023); he planned a weekend of events including a night of a thousand candles Christmas orchestra show, and a weekend in the bride’s favorite city (Charleston). Austin surprised Siri at a local park with a completely decorated gazebo decorated with flowers, and a candle lit path, followed by dinner with their families at her favorite Italian restaurant.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]After visiting a few bridal shops, Siri found her dream dress at Madeleine’s Daughter in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and fell in love with Anne Barge’s High Meadow gown. With help from her Charleston neighbor and talented seamstress, Marika Vegh, and guidance from Lesley Brickman, the owner of The One Gowns, the dress was customized to be uniquely hers. Over nearly 14 fittings, Marika carefully removed each “starfish-like flower” and meticulously reapplied them to a redesigned top that better suited Siri. Lesley completed the look, styling the gown with CL Exclusive white sling backs, diamond studs, and Siri’s grandmother’s necklace for the perfect final touch.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Siri encouraged her bridesmaids to choose blue patterned dresses that they felt comfortable and confident wearing, giving them the freedom to find a style that suited each of them individually. The result was exactly what she had envisioned—dresses that varied in cut, shade, and pattern, yet harmonized beautifully together. The mix of different blues and patterns created a dynamic but cohesive look, with each dress reflecting the personality of the bridesmaid while still fitting the overall theme. To complement the dresses, each bridesmaid’s bouquet was thoughtfully designed to subtly reflect the unique colors and tones of their dress, creating a perfect balance between variety and unity. The effect was a stunning blend of individuality and coordinated elegance.[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]The groomsmen and the groom donned stylish navy blue linen suits from J. Crew, exuding a classic yet relaxed vibe perfect for their coastal wedding. Each member of the wedding party selected a bow tie from Brackish, a Charleston-based company known
for its unique designs. Siri and Austin collaborated closely with Brackish to ensure that the bow ties complemented their vision for the day. Just like the bridesmaids, each groomsman, along with their fathers and grandfathers, chose a bow tie that resonated with their individual personalities, adding a personal touch to their ensemble while maintaining a cohesive look. The result was a charming blend of style and individuality that perfectly matched the couple’s aesthetic.[/field]

[board_carousel title=”Cocktail Hour”]

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]Siri and Austin worked closely with the exceptional team at Chatham Bars Inn to curate a menu that reflected their tastes for their special day. They chose signature drinks that captured their personalities: the bride opted for a spicy strawberry margarita adorned with a tajin rim and a dried lime, while the groom
selected a refreshing Nantucket blueberry lemonade made with Nantucket blueberry vodka. Their aim was to create a light and invigorating beverage experience for their guests. As guests arrived for cocktail hour, they were treated to an array of delectable options, including elegant charcuterie boards, a raw bar, and an assortment of passed appetizers, setting the stage for an enjoyable evening. Once it was time for the reception, the culinary delights continued with a fresh local burrata and tomato salad, followed by a sumptuous duet of hanger steak and lobster, ensuring that the dining experience was just as memorable as the celebration itself.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The floral arrangements for Siri and Austin’s wedding beautifully complemented the elegant coastal venue while adding a personal touch that made the space feel entirely their own. Botanique designed the décor using hydrangeas and a palette predominantly featuring blue and white, paying homage to the sea. However, they also infused bold colors and whimsical textures to evoke a vibrant garden party atmosphere. The arrangements showcased stunning blooms such as ranunculus, garden roses, and dahlias, complemented by delicate delphinium, butterfly ranunculus, baby’s breath, and lush greenery, creating an organic, airy feel. The color scheme included warm shades of yellow, orange, and pink, seamlessly transitioning through subtle tones of blush, cream, and peach that blended harmoniously with the blue palette. Candlelight and an eclectic array of vases enhanced the overall celebratory ambiance, making the setting
even more enchanting.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The cake featured cascading Dutch hydrangeas from Botanique for an elegant, floral look. It alternated between two flavors: Lemon Zest Cake with Raspberry Mousse and Fresh Raspberries, and Golden Vanilla Cake with Raspberry Mousse and Fresh Raspberries, offering a fresh, citrusy twist alongside a rich vanilla base, all tied together by the bright raspberry layers.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Incorporating family into their wedding
day was incredibly important to Siri and Austin. They chose the bride’s grandmothers to read poems that held special significance to their relationships. Siri’s Nana shared a heartfelt poem about Cape Cod and its importance to their family, while her Abba read a touching piece that celebrated the power of love. The celebration featured live music to enhance the festive atmosphere, starting with the Island Time Steel Drum Band during cocktail hour. Hot Mess took the stage for both the ceremony and reception, rocking
the crowd with their energy. The night concluded with an exciting horn line by Hot Mess performing “Saints Go Marching,” leading guests through the Main Inn to the after-party, where Cape Cod Tunes DJed the festivities, ensuring an unforgettable celebration.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]With the help of Isamay Signage, Siri and Austin wanted to create meaningful displays. They had seen “Generations of Love” done on a smaller scale a few times, and since family means everything to Austin and Siri, They decided to take it further. They chose large, multi-sided pillars to guide guests from our cocktail hour to the reception. Each side featured wedding photos of their closest family members. As guests sipped cocktails and wandered through the display, it was wonderful to hear reminiscing about the weddings seen in photos they had attended in the past.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Siri and Austin teamed up with Madeleine Warren, the Owner and Lead Designer of MFW Designs, to create a custom shell linen for their wedding. This unique linen design showcased scallop shells, representing the four summers they had spent on Cape Cod gathering them, along with palmetto leaves as a tribute to Charleston, SC, where they first met, and abstract coral for a touch of coastal charm. The linen featured a white background embellished with a light blue motif, perfectly capturing the essence of their love story and the locations that hold special meaning to them.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Siri and Austin hosted a vibrant after-party that kicked off with a festive horn line, guiding guests from the reception area through the Main Inn to the new celebration space. The party featured a Chatham Bars Inn Red Sox-themed food truck, serving up Fenway franks, funnel cakes, and a variety of classic baseball treats. Over-the-top
balloons from the talented team at Elevated Impressions added a whimsical touch to the atmosphere, while a photo booth and DJ from Cape Cod Tunes ensured everyone had a great time. For this lively occasion, the couple changed into striking new outfits. The bride dazzled in a sequin Oscar de la Renta gown, styled by Lesley Brickman, the owner of The One Gowns, and completed with sparkly Golden Goose sneakers and a chic tennis necklace. Meanwhile, the groom opted for a bold sparkly suit from Madeleine’s Daughter, paired with an elegant all-black Brackish feather bow tie, making them the perfect match for their unforgettable celebration.[/field]

Coastal Neutrals and Understated Elegance in Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”The Inspiration”]

The coastal dream of Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard was itself the inspiration for the design. The traditional New England coastal manor was the perfect setting for an elevated soiree, brought to life by Britt Jones Co. Completed by a soft blue palette and delicate florals, this wedding was an homage to the understated elegance of Martha’s Vineyard itself.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

The soft blues, whites, and delicate greens encapsulated coastal neutrals perfectly. From the florals to the linens to the settings, the effortless design pulled in the colors of Edgartown.

[/field]
[field title=”The Venue”]Watchmere in Edgartown was the dream location for this wedding. The coastal manor covered in cedar shingles in the traditional Vineyard architectural style boasts a private estate for a luxury event. Complete with a shimmering pool and plenty of space for a tented reception, Watchmere has all of the coastal charm and minimal elegance required for a Vineyard wedding. [/field]

The unique design of the gown showed off her Chanel shoes while still having all of the elegance of a full ball gown.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Inspired by the florals that bloom in Edgartown in the spring, the hydrangea-forward arrangements filled wicker baskets and bud vases to create a chic minimalistic design. The soft blues, greens, and whites of a New England summer carried through all of the stationery pieces, the place settings, and the decor. The sailboat escort table was a show-stopper, hand painted by Courtney Kibby Designs. Every intentional design element felt cozy and coastal, including the “Coastal Grandmother” signature cocktail and hand painted lamps on the bar. [/field]
[field title=”Favorite Design Element”]My favorite design elements were the tiny, thoughtful, and personal details. The “Coastal Grandmother” signature cocktail was served with fresh sprigs of lavender, which grow naturally on Watchmere’s property. Martha’s Vineyard is a haven for sailing, and the sailboat escort display was breathtaking and intentional. Even the cheeky cocktail napkins that reflected the spirit of the signature cocktail were perfection. The day was filled with small details that brought together the elegant celebration. [/field]
[field title=”Tips To Pull Off The Look”]This coastal elegant wedding can be achieved through a soft color palette, stunning florals throughout, and a commitment to small, personal details. Chic stationery that is perfectly on-theme ties together the elegant design, and understated luxury, which is the definition of Martha’s Vineyard, is essential to this design aesthetic. [/field]

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The couple chose to incorporate gold and ivory accents throughout their reception decor complimented by neutral florals. [/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Meaghan + Brian’s day perfectly encompassed Cape Cod classic with a touch of fall. Because the Cape has always been so special to us, it only felt right that we got married down there! We’ve always loved Falmouth, so when we found the the coonamesset it just felt like the perfect match. The venue was so gorgeous and we loved that it had a view of the water. It made for a picture perfect fall weekend. We wanted a simple elegant look and all the details came together in that way. We had lots of white mixed with green flowers, gold accents, and lots of candles that created a magical atmosphere.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Before getting engaged, we had been together for 8 years and have always loved being on Cape Cod. In September 2022 we had plans for a Cape Cod weekend. We ventured down to Chatham for lunch at the Squire and before heading in we stopped at the Kate Gould Park, where Brian proposed!
