Emily and Brendan

Emily and Brendan were married on July 17th, 2010 on a beautiful day in Cape Cod.  Yes, Better Together Events happily travels!   The wedding style was classic Cape Cod with a strong palette of navy, green, and whites.  Stripes were utilized wherever possible in the decor.

Their celebrations started early with a rehearsal lobster dinner on a cruise boat1

After the feast, the wedding party boarded a bus to the Welcome Party that was held at the Cape Cod Museum of Art.   Guests were treated to light fare, drinks, and the best cupcakes I’ve ever had courtesy of The Casual Gourmet.   What was really nice about this venue is that guests could mingle while taking in some of the amazing art the museum had to offer.

The next day, the bride and her ladies got ready at Wequasset Resort in Chatham.  Charlotte Phinney came to do hair and makeup styling.   Soon the bridal party arrived at Wychmere Harbor Club, and the bride was ready in a gorgeous knee-length Priscilla of Boston gown and veil.   The rest of the bridal party was decked out in J.Crew.  Bridesmaids shoes are Lands End, and the flower girl shoes are Baby Gap!  The brides heels are J.Crew and her red, party flats are Prada.

The wonderful Wendy from Wendy Cahill Photography documented the wedding day and provided all the beautiful images to follow.   Wendy actually took Emily’s photos growing up, and I think that personal connection brought that much more out of the photos.  They literally come to life!

Emily and Brendan decided to do a first look, which is always so sweet and seems to make the rest of the day so much more relaxing for the bride and groom!

The setting could not have been more beautiful, with the hydrangeas out in full bloom and the sun shining.

Soon it was time for the ceremony to begin.  The Scorton Chamber Ensemble provided impeccable ceremony music.  Lilac’s Florals designed some truly incredible floral artistry that fit perfectly with the classic and clean wedding style.   All wedding stationary was done by Wedding Paper Divas.

What stood out to me about this wedding was all the LOVE present.  All the guests from different families and groups of friends truly got along, enjoyed each other, and came together in support of the bride and groom.  It was awesome!

The reception was set-up beautifully with a clean, elegant, and romantic ambiance.   Casual Gourmet made the delicious and gorgeous wedding cake.

One of my favorite reception ideas was the table numbers!  Each table represented a year in the life of the bride and groom with a photo of each of them from that age.  It was a lot of fun for guests to check out and was such a personal detail that just added to the warmth and love in the room.
