We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful way to ring in the new year than with Chelsea and Zach’s vintage, winter wedding. Set in beautiful Bristol, RI, their wedding was dripping with vintage and handmade details. Chelsea personally made anything and everything she could, from the candles at each table setting to beautiful wooden signs with declarations of love. She was absolutely stunning in her long-sleeved lace La Sposa gown. Her updo perfectly showcased the peekaboo back and her golden, sparkly Badgly Mischka open toe heels completed her look. When Zach saw her walk down the isle he was clearly floored. After the heartfelt ceremony we stopped by Coggeshall Farm for some portraits as the sunset began and then made our way to the docks outside of the Bristol Harbor Inn for more portraits just as the sunset was in full bloom. While it was certainly chilly (freezing!) it was well worth it as the sky lit up this already shining couple. Inside the DeWolf Tavern guests were treated to a warm and cozy atmosphere lit with twinkle lights and candlelight. The highlight of the dessert table was the gorgeous cake and treats made by Chelsea’s sister, Jocelyn. The detail she put into these desserts reflects the deep love between these two sisters, and what’s better than a love you can eat! A lovely sit down dinner was followed by upbeat dancing as the reception went into full party mode. Friends and family had the most wonderful time while Chelsea and Zach never stopped smiling the entire day and night. Their happiness on this day will be followed by years and years of true love and bliss for sure.

What could be more perfect than a seaside wedding in beautiful Bristol, RI?  Not much really.  Shelly and John would definitely agree to that.  Bristol Harbor Inn was the perfect setting for this ocean themed wedding.  Shelly picked beautiful blues and yellows as the colors for this event to set the tone.  Shelly’s mother is Japanese.  Family traveled from halfway across the globe to see these guys get married.  It is a Japanese tradition for a bride to be to fold 1,000 paper cranes for the wedding.  It is believed that if you have a special wish, fold one thousand origami cranes. By the time you finish this task, your wish will be granted. This is called Sembazuru, or the folding of one thousand cranes.  A future bride folds the cranes for a long and prosperous marriage.  The crane is a symbol of luck and longevity since they are said to live for a thousand years.  Cranes actually mate for life so it is the perfect symbol for a marriage!  So a big congrats to Shelly and John!  We wish you a thousand years of love and happiness!
