At first glance Rebekah and Justin are a beautiful, young couple in love. Which is absolutely true. But what you can’t see, not until you spend some time with them, is that they are incredibly fun and WILD! When we first arrived at Rebekah’s room before the ceremony we were greeted by life-sized cardboard photographs of the couple’s beloved dogs. Since they had to stay behind in Colorado, Rebekah’s mother had the standees made so they could be part of the ceremony. This let us know right off the bat that nobody was taking themselves too seriously. That’s not to say that this wedding at the Hyatt Regency in Newport wasn’t decked out. From Rebekah’s gorgeous Galina Signature gown, to the John Orton flowers, and even the whimsical socks that the groom and groomsmen had on, every detail was spot on. It was clear that Rebekah had an incredible wedding planner. Her mother, Liz.  Rebekah and Justin reside in Colorado so Liz orchestrated this amazing affair with style and grace and she was such a pleasure to work with. Now back to their wild side. We heard whispers that Justin’s side of the family pulls a prank at every family wedding so we couldn’t wait to find out what it was! Turns out they had tiny footballs made with the couple’s name on them and passed them out to all of the guests prior to the ceremony. The instructions were to throw them at Rebekah and Justin during the recessional. It went off without a hitch and we have the pictures to prove it! Once Rebekah let down her Rapunzel hair the party was on. At one point during the reception Rebekah was officially inducted as an “outlaw” in an elaborate skit that included camouflaged ties for the men and sashes for the women. We can only imagine a lifetime of love, fun, and of course pranks, for Rebekah and Justin. Congratulations!

Nestled away on Goat Island in Newport, RI is the beautiful Hyatt Regency. Known for their impeccable customer service and attention to detail this venue offers more than meets the eye. Take a few steps out the back doors and you will find beautiful landscaping, adirondack chairs, a lighthouse built in 1842, and a stunning view of the Newport bridge! Caitlin and Dan could not have picked a better day to celebrate here. This classy wedding was a celebration from the get-go. With a 13 person wedding party how could it not be fun?! Everyone was styled beautifully. Bridesmaids were in pretty black, strapless dresses while the men cleaned up nicely in their classic black tuxedos. Caitlin was breathtaking in her strapless lace gown with an embellished sash and fingertip length veil. Dan could not take his eyes off of his new bride. A perfect sunset cocktail hour led to an amazing party inside after dinner. The band D2 had people dancing immediately and the dance floor was hopping all night. Here’s to you, Caitlin and Dan!

The bride and the groom definitely set the tone for their reception.  Matt and Maura were there to have a good time and it made for fun filled party.  If there was music playing they were on the floor dancing with all of their family and friends.  Marisa and I had to stop ourselves from joining in.  The gorgeous flower arrangements were done by Jephry Floral StudioSugar Babies from Boston kept the dance floor packed all night!  They played so many different songs from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zero’s “Home” to the theme song from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
