[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The color pallet of the wedding is seen through the palette of white and ivory from classical white, light pale caramel, creamy shade and halftones echoing in flower decor of this majestic total white wedding. [/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]The Hotel Villa Cipressi, set in Varenna, is a lost paradise with its picturesque gorgeous garden on the bank of lake Como, Eden in all senses especially for the couples who are really eager to exchange their vows and to swear in eternal love.
All possible and impossible shades of blue and sapphire and turquoise of the lake are the protogonists of any lake wedding just framing and spilling over everywhere. The botanic garden with winding paths, stairs and small terraces serve a natural amphitheater and a splendid backstage for an ideal wedding. Their wedding is a masterpiece of details and harmony of each element twisted and tailored to correspond their expectations. Great ones to come true to life. Signed by GUIA PUSTERLA, wedding planner, whose female hand conducted the melody of the day, tuning everything according to the modern trends and desires of the couple.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Anthony’s and Cristina’s love love story began in 2021. It was their first trip to Europe together when they fell in love with Lake Como and knew they wanted to get married there with friends and family! After the engagement a year later, at Cabo San Lucas at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, the choice of the ideal wedding location was certain – only Como.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]The bride’s dress by Tom Sebastien is more than just a dress – it’s a story told. Being handmade and with high-end couture beauty it underlines every single curve with lace and slashes on the earth with a gorgeous trail, and a veil, all together forming an intricate harmony of textures and elements. ‘Something blue’ is a ruling element of the shoes, even though being “The right shoe which make everything different.”, especially signed by Jimmy Choo.

[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]Masculine reply of the groom sounds classy and balanced, silent luxury, with the sound of old money. And once again custom suiting which is in Mike Mohan’s blood. The tailor acquired his vast knowledge of fabrics and client-centric approach from his family to reflect the ideal image of the perfect groom. Shoes in our groom’s case are Ferragamo’s. Heritage inspired, classy, and ideal touch to complite a refine style of the groom. In his case tuned with Italy and distinguished by the originality of design.[/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]The food was served by the catering of Villa Cipressi. It was a traditional and delicious Northern Italy dinner. Was served with
Paccheri with pistachios and prawns pesto souse
Garganelli with crunchy vegetables and pecorino cheese
Sea bass stewed with shrimp
Crunchy vegetables
Sliced beef tenderloin with rosemary
[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The floral design is far from being sobre. Splashes of roses of all sizes, floral clouds on the ground along the aisle add the note of charm and echo the foam of goddess Venus (the arch which corresponds to fully grown shell, in accordance with tradition). What a lovely metaphor to symbolise the birth of a new family created by the garden of love. Their Lake Como wedding design and floral atelier provides wonderful flowers and bespoke experiences for fairy tale weddings and events in timeless italian style. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]It was a traditional Italian cake made of layered pastry sheets, filled with the most delicate cream and various berries. The cake presentation was also a memorable part of the wedding. The bride and groom practically assembled it themselves. They added the cream, dusted the cake with sugar and berries, and laughed wholeheartedly. During the cake-cutting, stunning and festive cold sparklers were set off.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]The wedding rings – an emblem of eternal love are unique and personalized, that perfectly symbolize love and commitment of the couple, reflecting their personalities and characters.

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Italian fine art stationary lab “the lights factory” managed to translate the words of love and the personal story of the couple into a subtle stationary from the intimations, to the guest signs and even fans with intricate linking details and personalised approach.

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The bride, Rebecka, initially wanted a pale pink and white color scheme but as the wedding day drew closer changed her mind to wanting all the colors! The end result was a sort of pastel rainbow of beautiful early summer blooms set against a background of light and summery neutrals. [/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The vision for the wedding was an expansive celebration influenced by Swedish Midsummer and minimalism to honor Rebecka’s heritage and memories of time spent in Sweden. The couple wanted to fully embrace the beauty of an outdoor wedding, giving their guests an elevated garden party experience from start to finish. The understated backdrop of white linens, white draping, and natural wood helped the colorful florals pop, giving the guests the experience of an elegant summer celebration!

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Rebecka’s parents live on Cape Cod in Barnstable, so she and Nick visited Nantucket often. In 2021, they took a trip to the Nantucket Christmas Stroll with their golden retriever Ryder, her sister and her parents. They all split up once the ferry arrived to the island but Rebecka didn’t think much of it. Nick suggested that they go to the Brant Point lighthouse to take some photos. Rebecka thought that was a little weird since Nick isn’t the one who usually wants to take pictures. She quickly realized what was about to happen when they got to the beach and she noticed him looking around anxiously. When they reached “the spot”, Nick handed her Ryder’s leash and when she looked back at him he said “are you ready to do this” and got down on one knee. Nick then pointed out that her family was also at the lighthouse watching in the distance. They spent the rest of the weekend celebrating at Cisco Brewery and The Chicken Box. Rebecka’s engagement ring is actually from a Nantucket based jeweler, Calista West, so that made Nantucket more of a perfect place for the proposal.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Finding the perfect dress was quite the challenge for Rebecka. It started when she said yes to a dress then canceled the order an hour later. She then found “the one” at L’Elite in Boston a couple weeks after that. When it came time for my first fitting, I quickly realized the dress I picked didn’t feel like me. Luckily, the staff at L’Elite was so helpful with restarting the search. A sales associate pulled a beautiful drop waist Carolina Herrera gown off the rack, even though it wasn’t close to what she was searching for. The dress fit like a glove. She was obsessed the very second she put it on and still obsessed to this day. For the reception, she wore a lace Brock Collection gown. She wanted something feminine and easy to run around in. [/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]The bridesmaids dresses were from Amsale. Rebecka’s sister (MOH) wore a Monique Lhullier dress. She wanted the girls to feel good in what they were wearing so she told them to wear any style they felt best in. As for the color, she went with a blush pink. To her, blush is a timeless/summery color so she knew it would fit the wedding perfectly. A common theme throughout was wanting the girls to feel their best!

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]Powerhouse Cafe and Catering out of Woburn, MA catered the cocktail hour and dinner, with a special dessert surprise from Mr. Ding-a-Ling![/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The florals from Avela Floral Design were vibrant and airy arrangements of flowers, primarily locally grown in the Berkshires. Celebrating June and Midsummer through the use of poppies, peonies, ranunculus, and sweet peas the colors really popped against the neutral design elements chosen by Rebecka, who was instrumental in bringing her vision together with her amazing eye for design!

For Rebecka’s bouquet Amy with Avela Floral Design was inspired by Rebecka’s Carolina Herrera dress which was so classically elegant yet luxurious, Amy knew the bouquet needed to emulate that same look. She kept it simple and small, choosing locally grown specialty blooms in creamy tones with light touches of blush.

Rebecka pulled together design elements from Drape Art Designs who transformed the tent with their simple and elegant draping, bistro lights, and rattan pendants which Avela Floral Design adorned with simple vines to keep the entire design ethereal and spacious. Rebecka chose natural wooden elements throughout, sourcing her own candle holders and pulling together rentals from various companies to achieve the overall Swedish minimalist look.

For the stationary Abby Armistead created custom floral filled illustrations to adorn the couple’s stationary suite. The delicate floral illustrations were the perfect addition to the garden party aesthetic. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The cake was classic and simple, designed by Stacie’s Cookie World and adorned with dried and pressed flowers. [/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]On what looked like a rainy and overcast day, Rebecka and Nick’s dream ceremony location on the lawns of Chesterwood with views of the Berkshire Hills didn’t seem like it would be a possibility. But at the very last minute the skies cleared up and lead by the extraordinary Mary Kate Morrissey of MK Your Dream Day the entire vendor team lent a hand to move the ceremony out onto the lawn and the couple’s outdoor ceremony dreams came true! [/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Rebecka’s mom is from Sweden, so she grew up spending half of her childhood there with family. It was important that they incorporated that part of her into their wedding day and overall wedding weekend. The wedding fell on Midsummer, so their rehearsal/welcome party was centered around the holiday. Rebecka’s in-laws actually surprised her with a beautiful maypole that they built for it. Rebecka and Nick also incorporated Swedish heritage throughout the wedding with a Swedish reading during the ceremony by a close family friend and Swedish meatballs during cocktail hour (they also had Italian meatballs for Nick). And they couldn’t forget about ABBA. They made sure the band played plenty of it all night long.
[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]With Nick being a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, Rebecka wanted to do something special for him and their ceremony music was the perfect thing to surprise him with. She reached out to Stephen Beerkens to create a piano mashup version of Nick’s favorite Springsteen songs, which was then performed by the pianist/keyboard player who was part of their band, The Sultans. Shockingly, she was able to keep this secret from Nick and he realized the surprise when he started walking towards the aisle and heard the music playing.

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The couple wanted to incorporate colors reminiscent of a coastal summer sunset using colors of fuchsia, orange, coral, pink, yellow tones, watermelon, bright pinks.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]This wedding was an ode to California inspired elements, with modern and elegant infusions of sunset tones. Selecting Terranea as the backdrop to host this wedding, guests were asked to dress West Coast formal with fun and colorful designs.

Important elements of comfort and bright colors of the wedding were required and requested by the couple and families. With the first part of the wedding ceremony, cocktail and dinner being outdoors against Terranea’s breathtaking ocean cliff view, the couple requested to have some of the outdoor/coastal elements brought indoors.

We brought in large trees and vignettes of lounge seating that still allowed for flow and access to the dance floor, bars and desserts. Most importantly was highlighting the band as this was a dancing crowd. Ensuring that the band stage and backdrop also continued with the themed colors and elements, adding a subtle touch on the stage helped to make the space feel more colorful and intimate. [/field]

Their first dance song is one we all love, a classic, Fade Into You by Mozzy Star. The bride and groom each danced with their supportive and loving parents to Strangers In The Night by Frank Sinatra and La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong.[/field]

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

The couple were planning to get married in 2021 but they had to cancel it due to coronavirus. Their wedding was eventually planned for the 29th of May 2022 and it was marvellous in every way. The British couple traveled with their families and friends to Syros Island, which is very special for the couple, and got married at Ermoupolis Town Hall. Chris’s wedding ring is antique in the family and Nadia’s is made from Carter and Follows Brighton. The Town Hall of Ermoupolis on Miaouli Square is one of the largest and most impressive Town Halls in all of Greece. It was built in 1876 under the supervision of Ernst Ziller and costed a very large for the time! This is a very unique building with a three-storey facade on the side of the square and two-storey facade on the back side of the building which bears striking details, two wings with five vertical window shafts left and right, overhangs, towers, and more generally a typical architecture inspired by 3 different architectural styles. The Tuscan style is featured on the 1st floor with the imposing staircase of 15.5 meters in width, the Ionic style is found on the 2nd floor, and the Corinthian that can be observed in the towers. The couple chose Syros as Chris’s Grandparents built a villa on the island in the 70’s and his family come on holiday there every year. They love it’s incredibly friendly people, charm and it’s beauty. The first time they visited the island together, eight years ago before the wedding, they said if they ever got married, it would be there, and they were excited to share this special place with all their friends and family.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Just before their 10th anniversary Chris proposed by setting up a fake job for Nadia – Nadia is a makeup artist, so he had a friend of a friend book her for a pretend job at a hotel by their favorite spot in London, and waited for her in the room to surprise her. She has never been so shocked and they spent the weekend soaking it all up on cloud 9. The Diamond ring (engagement ring) is Chris’s great-grandmother’s.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Our reception was held at one of our favourite restaurants in Syros called Mazi. Their food is exceptional and as this was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for us we knew we were in safe hands. The food just kept coming! It was a mixture of family sharing style starters and salads along with main courses and a chocolate dessert. The style of food is Greek fusion with the freshest seasonal and local ingredients. We also had late night gyros and free flowing cocktails all evening.

Our favorite crafted detail was our invitations, the Syros sealine hand drawn by my maid of honor Megan, we used this drawing throughout the wedding.
[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Chris and I have been together since we were 16! We’ve grown up together, so have watched each other take on many challenges and seasons in life that have brought us closer together and made us who we are today. We don’t have a lot of typical hobbies that we share, but we love going for walks together, getting coffee, and talking about life. Likewise we’re very different on paper, but that means we challenge (hopefully!) complement each other, and instead have a lot of shared values and philosophies on life.

We chose Syros as Chris’s Grandparents built a villa on the island in the 70s and his family come on holiday here every year. We loved its incredibly friendly people, charm and it’s beauty. The first time we visited the island together, eight years ago, we said if we ever get married it would be here, and we were excited to share this special place with all our friends and family.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]The bride and groom had always been captivated by the enchanting beauty and the warmth of Italy during their past visits. They dreamt of a wedding that would weave together a whimsical, soft, and romantic ambiance, while also creating an intimate atmosphere where they and their loved ones could immerse themselves in the magic of Italy. The key element was choosing a charming Italian villa nestled in the hills of Positano. There were breathtaking views and lush gardens that provided the perfect backdrop for their love story.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]We hosted our welcome dinner at La Tagliata in Positano. We chose to serve classic mom-and-pop Italian dishes that were all prepared with locally grown produce. Guests were welcomed with glasses of sparkling prosecco, accompanied by delightful appetizers. What followed was a symphony of courses that was never ending. The vegetables, fresh from La Tagliata’s garden, were paired with homemade pastas and meats. The wine and limoncello flowed freely and were both crafted in house. On our wedding day, we continued the celebration with a full open bar. We offered a four-course meal that was a true indulgence. We began with sweet melon draped in Parma ham and tender buffalo cherry mozzarella. The first course was a creamy lemon fettuccini, delicately crowned with toasted pistachios. Then came the second course, a tender filet mignon, perfectly seared and bathed in a rich mushroom and green pepper Aglianico sauce. And finally, dessert was a sweet serenade of wedding cake and an assortment of delicate Italian cookies.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]We’ve always been enchanted by lush floral designs, so we filled every corner of our venue with beautiful blooms. We wanted our reception to feel like a dreamy garden where flowers floated gently above us, creating an atmosphere of romance and magic for the evening. Our floral arrangements were created using large English roses, Delphiniums, white Rununculus, and Italian Ruscus greenery.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]We loved our four-tier wedding cake! Inside was a rich red velvet, while the outside was adorned with a delicate Chantilly layer of icing.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]Choosing the officiant for our wedding felt like the most natural decision. My husband and I wanted someone at the altar who could bring us a sense of peace amidst all the emotions of the day. We asked our best friend, who had been by our side for over a decade, to officiate. He guided us through the wedding ceremony with such warmth, elegance, and heartfelt humor. We could not have asked for a more perfect voice to lead our ceremony.

We discovered the incredible professional wedding singer, Louis Vlahakis, who truly set the perfect tone for our special day. He played a stunning rendition of “Until I Found You” for the processional, got everyone moving with “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” for the recessional, and made our first dance enchanting with “Heaven.” When he surprised us with “Take Me Home, Country Roads” at the reception, it turned into a heartfelt sing-along that made the day even more unforgettable.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]To honor the bride’s Vietnamese background, they embraced her traditions by hosting a beautiful tea ceremony during the wedding week. The venue was adorned in rich red and gold which are the traditional colors of a tea ceremony. The bride, groom, and entire wedding party were elegantly dressed in stunning silk Áo dài. The ceremony was deeply heartfelt, far surpassing everyone’s expectations in its meaning and grace—a memory that will be cherished forever.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Our wedding brought together family members from all over the United States, as well as Europe and Africa, creating a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was a truly special moment for us, as it was the first time everyone was together in one place and likely the only time it will ever happen.
[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Traveling the world has been a special part of our journey together, and we wanted to share that joy with the people we love most. We invited friends and family, including those who had never ventured outside the U.S., to be part of this memorable experience. To show our deep appreciation for their effort and support, we hosted a post-wedding sailing trip along the breathtaking Amalfi Coast and Capri. It was a day filled with beauty and happiness, creating cherished memories for everyone.[/field]

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Mackenzie wanted a Fall palette that encompassed all of her favorite earth tone hues. Neutrals of bone, sand, camel, leather and coffee earth tones paired with dijon, butter yellow, soft rose and varying shades of green, along with accents of black and gold with touches of stone and pops of dyed denim weaved through the dress code, decor details and flowers for the wedding, walking a beautiful line between high contrast and softness.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Classic Modern Architectural Romance with a touch of playful! While our groom described himself as a “Jeans and a T-Shirt” type of guy, our bride loved all things rich textures, velvet, and dressing up which led us to a day where casual & comfortable met formal & fancy. We blended layers of texture all while keeping things minimal and clean with architectural elements that spoke to finding both the simple things in life that count along with that unexpected something special in one another. A ceremony aisle foraged from wild grasses and flora with woven chairs and natural elements played created an environment that felt elevated yet at home. Bridesmaids were dressed in the color palette of camel, leather, dijon, soft rose, and deep green carrying bouquets with single stems that matched their dresses and wrapped in denim as a nod to both the groom’s style and our bride’s middle name “Jean.” A reception out under the stars welcomed guests to thoughtfully curated tables with camel velvet linens, nude glassware and braided dishware with ribbed taper candles and wild flowers running down the tables. A denim pocket place card sat upon each plate with guests names hand calligraphed to pair along with the Jean escort wall.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Mackenzie wanted to keep things timeless and elegant for her wedding fashion. She chose a simple but stunning Sarah Seven wedding dress with draped sleeves off of the shoulder and a long and dramatic train that looked gorgeous in her photos![/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]The bridesmaids all wore Autumn-hued tones that fit perfectly within the design motif of the wedding. Shades of olive and sage green, mustard yellow, dusty rose, and coppery brown married together to create a colorful, fun bridal party look.[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]Ryan wanted to keep it classic and wore a black suit on his wedding day, which was dressed up for this “jeans and t-shirt guy!”[/field]

[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]The bride and groom love pizza (and Mackenzie’s dad is a firefighter) so they thought it would be perfect to hire Dang Brother Pizza, a catering company serving wood-fired pizzas from inside their own fire trucks on property. It was the perfect nod to Mackenzie’s childhood and favorite food.

The couple both had signature drinks served from either of their custom bars on the property- a spicy “Mackenzie Jean” margarita, and RTG “Really Tipsy Garrett” old-fashioned, complete with hand-illustrated koozies and napkins.

Also, Ryan has worked in the corporate side of Chick-Fil-A for years, helping open up new franchises all over the world, so of course the late night snack had to be Chick-Fil-A original chicken sandwiches, which guests were so happy to devour after hours of dancing.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]The bride wanted a mix of Autumn colors and textures to elevate the wedding throughout. Posey Pop created everything from lush, overflowing centerpieces to whimsical wild grasses and flora dotted throughout the ceremony aisles and head table. The best of season florals included cosmos, lizzy, orlaya, dogwood blossoms, scabiosa, sweet peas, ranunculus, smoke bush and mock orange with tall grasses.

For the decor of the wedding, Adore Folklore and Hostess Haven teamed up under the brilliant design of Amorology team to create a marriage of rich textures and visuals as well. Velvet linens, woodgrain tables, natural chairs, and black lacquer cane was the canvas for three stunning and unique place setting designs, featuring everything from olive wood chargers, chocolate seeded + tortoiseshell glass, hand-embroidered napkins and sculptural wood table numbers. Backup Backdrops kept touches of deep black throughout as a contrast, creating both a custom “mac bar” and dance floor with the same b&w textile patterns. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]While Mackenzie opted to have a beautiful wedding cake by Hey There, Cupcake!, the real “piece de resistance” was the custom “Mac” macaron bar, adorned with stacks of macarons and flowers. Mackenzie is known by her friends and family as “Mac,” so this was the perfect personal detail for dessert.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Mackenzie’s middle name is Jean, and Ryan is a “jeans and t-shirt kind of guy!” so for their escort display, Amorology and Backup Backdrops created a “jean” pocket escort display made from vintage recycled jeans. There were also jean pockets created and hand-painted with each guests name at their place setting that was a keepsake to take with them from the wedding.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Upon each place setting at the head table, every napkin was custom embroidered with sweet love notes from the couple’s time dating, a nod to their love and commitment to one another even as Ryan would be away on business many weeks out of the year when they first became a couple.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]Mackenzie has been the #2 at CA wedding design firm, Amorology, for years. When it came time to pick her wedding venue, there was no other choice than using the owner Heather’s home, Chez Balliet. Mackenzie has spent many days working there at the home office, as well as planned many weddings on the property, so it was very nostalgic and close to her heart to plan her very own garden wedding at Heather’s estate.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Green and turquoise have always been two of my favorite colors, so when it came to curating a palette for our day, I knew I didn’t want to overshadow Positano’s gorgeous turquoise sea or the colorful houses and buildings that line the city. We opted for a classic palette of green and white with some touches of gold. A favorite addition was our dinner napkins that Alessandra helped us pick with a gorgeous pattern and a pop of blue.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]As for the rest of the decor, we wanted to play off of our palette and choose decor that was classic, elegant, and whimsical. We opted for white flowers with greenery, a special bouquet of purple flowers to honor my mom’s favorite color, classic white chairs and linens, gold and silver chandeliers and fairy lights.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Adam proposed in October 2019 after over 4 years of dating. He decided to propose in Disneyland, a special place to us as a couple since we officially started dating after reconnecting on a trip with our families there in July of 2015. Disneyland was also a special place to my family and me as it was one of my mom’s all-time favorite places and we would go every year as a family before she passed away in February of 2010. Adam planned the most special proposal in front of the Wishing Well, one of the last places I have pictures with my mom during a trip to Disneyland for my 16th birthday, a few months before she passed. He wanted to make sure she was there to celebrate our proposal, and he also surprised me with members of my family that I didn’t know would be there to witness our proposal. It was so special and just like Adam to go above and beyond to honor my mom’s memory in such an intentional way, and ensure that she was there with us and very much a part of a pivotal moment in our lives.

[field title=”Wedding Colors”]The wedding colors were creams, butter yellow, cantaloupe, blush, coral, peach, and apricot hues.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Casey and Kenny’s wedding was a celebration of energy, joy, and, above all, love. Their vision was clear: a day that was as fun and lively as it was romantic and colorful—a wedding that encouraged their guests to “let their hair down” and enjoy every moment of their special day. The couple’s vibrant spirit was reflected in every detail, from the playful color palette to the personal touches that brought their vision to life.

The day began with a first look at The Elms, the iconic Newport mansion. Surrounded by historic grandeur and impeccable gardens, it was the perfect backdrop for the couple’s intimate moment before they headed to the Newport Beach House, where the rest of their celebration awaited. After a quiet moment, they arrived at the venue, buzzing with anticipation as they prepared for their ceremony.

The ceremony itself was set on the Terrace, just steps from the beach. A stunning floral arch by Sayles Livingston Design—designed in a loose, garden-style arrangement—was draped with an exquisite sherbet palette of creams, butter yellow, cantaloupe, blush, coral, peach, and apricot hues, all blending beautifully with the summery, coastal setting. As Casey walked down the aisle with both of her parents with music by Allegro Chamber Players, the love and emotion in the air were palpable. The vows exchanged were deeply personal, officiated by a close family friend who made the ceremony even more meaningful.

As the couple sealed their vows with a kiss, guests were invited to enjoy a lively cocktail hour at Surfside. The energy was set with an electrifying violin performance by Big Lux, and guests mingled at rattan-adorned cocktail tables, sipping signature drinks served with custom napkins and drink toppers featuring Casey and Kenny’s bespoke crest. An espresso cart by Espresso Dave and passed hors d’oeuvres kept guests energized while they soaked in the stunning views of the Newport beach.

The transition to the reception at Eventide was nothing short of spectacular. The space was transformed into a glowing, vibrant celebration, with candlelight flickering on every table and rich, lively floral arrangements stealing the show. Specialty linens from Stradley Davidson, elegant tabletop décor from La Affitto, Reverie Social, and Peak Event Services elevated the design, while Something Borrowed Event Decor created bespoke menu and place cards that tied seamlessly to the couple’s invitation design. Guests marveled at the thoughtfulness and elegance in every detail.

When Casey and Kenny entered their reception, the excitement in the air was palpable. The couple was introduced to the high-energy beats of “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC, brought to life by their band, Night Shift Entertainment, and the electric violin of Big Lux, creating an unforgettable moment of collaboration between music and energy. Their first dance to “Love You For a Long Time” by Maggie Rogers was a heartfelt moment, made even more special by the dance lessons they’d taken together in preparation for their big day. It was the perfect balance of romance and fun.

The rest of the evening was a celebration of life and love, with the dance floor opening up as Night Shift Entertainment took over, ensuring the party never stopped. Espresso Dave was relocated upstairs to keep the energy high and the guests fully fueled for the celebration.

Casey wanted to make her wedding day even more special by honoring a beloved family tradition—a skit that had been performed at every wedding in her family. Inspired by her childhood memories of watching her parents’ wedding video, Casey was eager to recreate the fun, with a twist. With Kenny’s name, how could they not perform the “I’m Just Ken” song from Barbie? The family’s rendition was a playful tribute to the movie’s iconic Grammy performance, bringing smiles and laughter to everyone in the room. To close the tradition, all the men in Casey’s life performed “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” by Frankie Valli, creating a moment so unique that it left everyone talking for the rest of the night.

As the reception came to a close, the couple invited their guests to the Oyster Lounge for an unforgettable after-party. Casey slipped into her final ensemble change and danced the night away with Kenny, while guests immersed themselves in a club-like atmosphere, complete with pin light spinning disco balls by Ryan Designs, shimmering linens from Peak Event Services, and custom Newport hats to keep the energy going. DJ Lana brought the beats, keeping everyone on their feet well into the night.

For Casey and Kenny, their wedding was a true reflection of their personalities—vibrant, energetic, and filled with love. It was a day that celebrated the joy of life, the excitement of the future, and the bonds that bring family and friends together. The details, from the florals to the entertainment, were carefully curated to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience—a wedding that guests will remember for years to come. All stunningly captured by Kati Rosado Photography and K+A Films.

This celebration was the epitome of energy, and heart, a perfect fit for those who want their wedding day to be as unforgettable as their love story. For couples seeking to craft a wedding experience that is both timeless and memorable experiences, Casey and Kenny’s day is a true inspiration.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]After seven years together, Kenny knew the perfect moment had finally arrived to ask Casey to be his forever. In October 2022, he orchestrated a surprise weekend getaway to Montauk, New York—a coastal retreat renowned for its serene beauty and unparalleled charm. Nestled in a chic, luxurious hotel, their stay was set against the backdrop of the Atlantic’s rolling waves, with the crisp, cool air of fall enveloping them in a perfect embrace.
On their first evening in Montauk, as they walked hand-in-hand toward dinner, Kenny asked the front desk for a recommendation for a drink spot. What appeared to be a casual request turned into an unforgettable surprise. Rather than a simple bar, they were led to a secluded stretch of beach, where a meticulously curated, intimate setting awaited them—a romantic lounge area with champagne flutes glistening in the fading sunlight.
It was here, with the ocean gently lapping at the shore and the soft glow of the evening light, that Casey was handed a special surprise. A QR code titled “The Menu of Our Life Together” led her through a personal journey, showcasing their love story through creatively named dishes paired with heartwarming anecdotes and memories. Each item on the menu reflected milestones and intimate moments they had shared over the years. It was a beautifully crafted homage to their relationship. Kenny asked Casey to marry him and it was a moment that perfectly captured the essence of their relationship—a mix of elegance, heartfelt intimacy, and an unspoken connection that only true love can create and no detail was spared.[/field]

One evening for dinner with her family, she made her way to the stunning courtyard of the restaurant. As she made her way through the courtyard, she heard a violin begin to play. She looked up to see Ben standing there, surrounded by the romantic glow of candles. With tears of joy, Eunice said “YES” to the love of her life.

The vision was an elevated garden party. The Bride loved the whimsical vibe of the garden party but still wanted the event to feel elevated and luxurious.

Will proposed to me at the venue I have always wanted to get married at.

He told me we were just going to tour it (we knew we wanted to get married there so wanted to book before it filled up). He arrived at my house and got out of the car immediately tearing up, and holding my favorite white dress for me to change into, and drove me to the Baumberhof. We sat in silence on the drive there trying not to look at each other so we wouldn’t cry! He proposed, I said yes, and then he planned a surprise party with over 100 of our friends for me!
