With a color palette of soft blues and chinoiserie-inspired details, every aspect of the day was curated to perfection. From a grand bridal party to a stunning tented reception on the lawn, the bride made sure that both beauty and thoughtfulness woven into every moment and it was a pleasure to photograph!

A Romantic Ceremony by the Water

The couple exchanged vows beneath a lush floral arch that framed the serene waters of Whitehall Bay. The talented team at Floret and Vine designed a breathtaking floral installation, overflowing with delicate blue and white blooms that perfectly complemented the venue’s natural beauty. As the bride made her entrance, all eyes were on her exquisite gown with ethereal tulle sleeves, a true showstopper that added an element of romance and whimsy to the day.

With their closest family and friends gathered, the couple’s heartfelt vows were set against the peaceful, glistening water—an unforgettable scene of love and serenity.

A Chinoiserie-Inspired Tented Reception

Following the ceremony, guests were welcomed to an elegant tented reception on the lawn at Whitehall, thoughtfully designed by Rachel Kelly Events. The tent, provided by Honeywood Rentals, was adorned with luxurious draping, twinkling lights, and exquisite tablescapes filled with chinoiserie vases bursting with fresh blooms. Pretty Little Wedding Co. and Floret and Vine worked their magic to transform the space into an inviting, sophisticated setting where guests could dine, dance, and celebrate.

One of the most unique highlights of the evening was the espresso martini signature cocktail, served in true style—poured through a custom ice luge featuring the couple’s wedding crest, intricately carved into the ice. This one-of-a-kind detail was a guest favorite, bringing a chic and interactive element to the celebration.

From the very beginning, this wedding was infused with artistry and intention. The invitations, designed by Just Ink on Paper and featuring custom artwork by Amanda C. Bee, set the tone for the event’s refined aesthetic. Every detail, from the personalized stationery to the carefully selected décor, reflected the couple’s vision of a timeless yet modern wedding experience.
