[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.

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 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]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Our bride began the day in her first gown, a cream Wilden London scalloped edge dream with delicate bow and ruffled details. The unique design of the gown showed off her Chanel shoes while still having all of the elegance of a full ball gown. She then changed into her reception look, a Sébastien Luke lace gown with a long flowing bow and ruffles. Both gowns captured the day’s commitment to old world glamor and coastal elegance, with exquisite details and unique designs.[/field]

[section title=”The Details”]

[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]
