A Timeless Summer Wedding at Glen Manor House in Portsmouth, RI

Drago and Whitney were living in LA when he had a work trip to New York one weekend. He asked if she wanted to join him so they could make a weekend out of it. Between his work obligations, they explored the city and went sightseeing. One of the sights Drago was very adamant about visiting was Central Park. They planned to go each day they were there, but something always came up. The first day, work ran longer than expected. The second evening, they planned to go after dinner, but a major power outage closed the park. On their last day, as they were heading to the airport, Drago insisted that they stop by Central Park on the way. Whitney was surprised at how badly he wanted to see the park, but she agreed, thinking they should make it quick. Luck was on their side, as they found parking right next to Central Park, giving them some extra time. They found a little garden off the main trail with a beautiful view of the city. Drago told Whitney to turn around so he could take her picture. She thought, “How cute!” and posed facing away from the camera. When she turned back around, Drago was kneeling with a ring in hand and asked her to marry him! She said yes!

The wedding gown was the Martini by Grace Loves Lace. It features a modern, stretch crepe fabric that elegantly sculpts the body, -with a scoop neckline, daring low back, and a sleek column silhouette. This luxurious piece is perfect for dancing and makes a dramatic statement with a detachable double-layer silk bow on the train.

Morin's Catering did a fantastic job with the food, offering summer must-haves in New England, like scallops for hors d'oeuvres. The drinks were carefully chosen as perfect late-July refreshers, featuring lavender lemonade and mint iced tea. These selections provided a delightful culinary experience for all the guests.

The florals featured a delicate mix of pinks and greens, carefully chosen to complement the venue. Overall, the arrangements were kept simple and elegant to allow the timeless beauty of Glen Manor House to shine. This understated approach highlighted the venue's natural charm and provided a perfect backdrop for the celebration.

They opted for a vanilla cake with raspberry filling, made by Ellie's Bakery out of Providence. The cake was both delicious and beautifully presented.
