You're Going To Want To See This Chic Coastal Color Wedding In Newport

The Planning
Design / Vibe / Vision

The wedding weekend started with a rehearsal dinner and welcome party on the grass courts at the iconic International Tennis Hall Of Fame in Newport, RI. Guests mingled throughout the horseshoe, with chic lounge furniture, lawn games, an antique ice cream cart, a candy bar, and a late-night pizza truck. Wedding day: Coastal, fun, colorful. The next day, wedding festivities were set at a historic private club known for its grand architecture and panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, providing an idyllic backdrop for their exchange of vows. Every element, from the delicate, spring-colored floral design to the sweeping sailcloth Sperry tent, was thoughtfully curated to reflect the couple's unique style and aesthetic and complement the event's natural surroundings. Guests were greeted with a warm welcome and guided through a beautiful ceremony filled with heartfelt vows, luscious floral designs lining the aisle, and an exquisite chuppah with a hand-embroidered tallit. The outdoor cocktail hour, overlooking the sun-kissed coastline transported guests to a world of sophistication and delight. The sail-cloth-tented reception unveiled a meticulously designed space adorned with cascading seasonal flowers, twinkling lights, and elegant tablescapes. The dance floor, filled with laughter and joy, became a testament to the couple's infectious happiness and the love shared by all. Our goal was to create a wedding that captured the essence of Caroline and Michael's love story and the timeless charm of Newport.

The Fashion
Wedding Gown
Rehearsal Dinner: Caroline's Zimmerman dress was the talk of the town during her rehearsal dinner. The floral applique's bold colors and matching shoes and bag were outside the box but still elegant and an absolutely perfect fit for the unique and historical venue while being fashion-forward. Wedding: Caroline's classic style was brought to life in this stunning Carolina Herrera gown with subtle, feminine details and a gorgeous floral pattern elegantly and subtly incorporated throughout.
