CAROLINE + BRAD

A BEACH CLUB WEDDING IN CENTERVILLE, MA

Planning Caroline + Brad’s wedding was a special event for me, not only because they are such a beautiful couple, but also because I had planned her sister Joanne's wedding in 2018. I was so thrilled to work with their family again and watch Caroline walk down the aisle! 

Caroline has a great knack for design and together we created an airy, wildflower coastal chic aesthetic  for their big day. 

Caroline and her bridesmaids spent the morning in matching pajamas, getting wedding-ready at her family’s home in Centerville. As she donned her Carolina Herrera for L'Elite Bridal strapless gown, her mother and sister helped to secure the delicate buttons up the back. Such a sweet moment!

We were also able to capture a shot of Caroline and her bridesmaids on the front steps, the same home her sister Joanne got ready in three years prior. 

Across town, Brad and his groomsmen readied themselves before boarding a trolley bound for the ceremony.

Caroline + Brad were married at the Craigville Tabernacle, a charming little chapel with an entryway lined with gorgeous summer blooms.

After the ceremony, family and the wedding party gathered on the beach for photos. The groomsmens’ french blue ties matched the bridesmaids' toile dresses perfectly. 

These photos of Caroline + Brad are so romantic, with her veil blowing in the sea breeze. 

It was so touching to see Caroline pose with her family, including her sister Joanne, brother-in-law, Willie and their baby boy! We so love watching the families we’ve helped come together continue to grow!  

To transform the Centerville Beach Club into the ethereal seaside setting of Caroline’s dreams, we brought in full rentals from Peak Event Services into an empty space.

Sprays of baby’s breath in bud vases lined the tables, while rattan vases of white and blue flowers sat in the center of the tables, draped in white. French blue taper candles cast a warm glow over the room as the sun began to set over the coast. A single sprig of baby’s breath decorated a textured grey napkin at each place setting.

After portraits were done, it was time to dance the night away! Caroline + Brad shared their first dance as husband and wife to Elton John’s “Your Song” as all of their nearest and dearest looked on. Then the floor was opened up and the band, Legends of Summer, kept everyone on their feet.

To end the evening, guests enjoyed treats by Delicious Desserts Cape Cod, including a slice from the couple’s simple, yet elegant, three-tier wedding cake.

I am so honored to have planned both Joanne’s and now Caroline’s wedding. Congratulations to Caroline + Brad! Thank you for allowing us to play a part in your big day!
