Summer Lovin’ at Great Harbor Yacht Club

A chill is finally in the air as we head in to the holiday season.  We still long for the days of summer so today we thought we’d share our beautiful couple Denise and Michael’s June wedding at the Great Harbor Yacht Club on Nantucket.  This was a fun one for us to put together.  Michael popped the question on Valentine’s Day and before Denise knew it, they were planning a June wedding (June, as in 4 month’s away) and it went from a small affair to a party with the all their close friends.  Denise was a trooper.  Not only was she planning a wedding in four months, she was also building a home and was very hands on with the interior decorating.

We met a few times in NYC before Denise’s dress fittings and a few times on island.  Among Michael’s many talents, he’s a pilot so that it made quite convenient when they needed to head up for wedding meetings.

Denise was adamant that they host their guests with several days of activities.  A welcome party at their new home kicked things off, followed by a rehearsal dinner at The Westmoor Club.  For that event she wanted a tuscan feel so we had fun with organic greens and lots of lemons.  The ceremony and reception were held at the Great Harbor Yacht Club on a spectacular June day.  Denise and I worked on all the tabletop details and wanted to create more of a dinner party atmosphere than a wedding reception.  They had a big band there to keep everyone on the dance floor and Michael surprised Denise by singing to her.  Not to be outdone, Denise had a few of her own tricks up her sleeve.  She rented an antique car to take them around and have photos, and she had a groom’s cake made to look like his plane!  Jodi from Jodi’s Cakes did an amazing job making it look like it was ‘flying’.  So much fun!  As you can see from the photos these two are absolutely smitten with each other.  May you have years of happiness and wedded bliss you two!

What a beautiful family!

Jaclyn and Peter – A Modern Affair at Great Harbor Yacht Club

We’re busy getting ready for Thanksgiving and I’m thinking about putting coral peonies on the table for a more modern take this year.  That thought got me thinking about our beautiful couple Jaclyn and Peter who were married earlier this year and celebrated at Great Harbor Yacht Club.

The minute I saw Jackie’s Pinterest boards I knew she was a girl after my own heart.  Sparkly shoes, fluffy blooms, clean lines – this one was going to be a lot of fun to work on.  Jackie’s mom was a great help in planning and finalizing all of our details.  You can see from the images captured by Zofia & Co that there was a lot of love that day.  We were so honored to be included and we wish them years of wedded bliss!

These shoes – words can’t describe how giddy we were when we went to drop off the bouquets and found these little gems on the counter (I was in love!)

Jackie let each bridesmaid choose a dress in the color coral so they felt comfortable which also kept things low key and light hearted.  Two words that perfectly describe this couple

Could they be any more adorable?

There were so many fun details – a big thanks to Zofia for putting them all together in one pretty little package

There is nothing better than the glow of candlelight as the evening goes on – it just makes the room look magical.

We love using a long head table to differentiate the wedding party seating.  It gives us a lot more freedom to design something different from the rest of the room while still being complimentary (and in some cases, it creates a natural designation of the dance floor).
