A Heart Full of Thanks This Thanksgiving!

November 24, 2015

Soiree just wrapped up it’s 2015 season, and what a season it’s been. I feel like just yesterday we were doing winter weddings in March and April followed by Mother’s Day weddings in May and then we were off to the races come June. I can’t believe Thanksgiving is this Thursday.

I have so many things to be Thankful for this season and instead of waxing poetic about it all, I think I’ll just let these images speak for themselves. A lot of these images show our hard work, and this job isn’t for sissies – so I left the not so glamorous shots in there. I’m blessed to be graced with a team that shows up week after week ready to do battle. I gave this season a hashtag, a very appropriate hashtag – #badass!

A very special Thank You from the bottom of my heart, to my dear friends The Chapel Designers!! I couldn’t have taken on the tasks I did without you. Also, a huge thank you to Nantucket Party Rentals for providing our village with a little shelter earlier this summer, our neighbors, Verde Nantucket Green Build for being our strong men behind the scenes and Stacey Perry for feeding our crew and keeping us fueled with those magic energy oat and chia balls! (We’re still talking about them!)

This world can be a crazy place, and in case I don’t say it enough, just know I am so very thankful for each and every one of you listed above and so many more that I get the pleasure of working with on a daily basis. XOXOXO

(when I say it felt like 110 degrees in this tent, I’m not joking! These gals were troopers!)

(literally 30+ mph winds this day, and our bride wanted to be married on the beach, so a beach wedding we gave her – and it wasn’t easy!!). #Teamwork!!!!!

Cheers!

Nantucket Rehearsal Dinner at Galley Beach with Zofia & Co. Photography

August 11, 2015 · 1 Comment

Are you still dreaming of coral peonies and garden roses from our post last week? (Yeah, we are, too!) Today we’re sharing the rehearsal dinner of our lovely couple, Betsy and Colin that took place at Galley Beach on June 19th.

With an airy, Nantucket feel, we created custom white washed hand turned pedestals for our arrangements and surrounded them with lush wreaths of hydrangea and roses. We kept things simple for this event, using a gorgeous blue faux burlap linen for the tables and mother of pearl chargers from Placesetters, Inc. along with white cross back chairs from NECR. We loved the round menu’s that Ceci New York created for this fabulous fete.

Take a peek at their rehearsal below!
