[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Warm golden colors from the surrounding coastal landscape in the fall season were chosen to create a seamless palette from the acres around Castle Hill Inn, the gowns for Jess’s friends, and the tablescape and tent decor. The look was as if the autumn breeze blew in the most beautiful blooms from right outside the tent door to the tables and ceremony arbor.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]In lieu of bouquets for her attendants, Jess chose the girls to carry vintage lanterns, which shone beautifully in the golden hour sun. The vibe was a jovial, family-focused event with family playing a big roll in the wedding – from bridesmaids to groomsmen and also officiant! [/field]
