New England Waterfront Wedding

Ali and John got married at The Point at Norwalk Cove on a rainy autumn day.

Autumn Wedding on the Coast 

Despite the cloudy sky, their wedding day was filled with joy and love. The bride is like sunshine in human form, which inspired the bright, happy colors of the design: vibrant oranges, yellows, and splashes of blue, reminiscent of the sunset over the New England water.

Pearl Weddings placed warm blankets at each seat for guests to cozy up, in preparation for a chilly autumn storm. Not that they needed it once everyone started dancing and the espresso martinis started flowing!

New England Waterfront with a Whimsical Flare 

The wedding’s design highlighted autumn colors such as pink, orange, gold, and deep red and navy blue accents. The surrounding nature of the New England fall inspired the warm colors. Gorgeous floral arrangements by Flowers by Justine pulled on the colors to create a luscious autumn wonderland that beautifully contrasted with the New England waterfront.

The custom farm tables showcased the groom’s love for handcrafted wood. The tables from Gather and Lounge curated a warm rustic flare to the overall design. As guests found their way to the reception area, they found the seating chart where each of their names was placed in a small bottle with sand and tiny shells, homage to the coastal venue and the song Message in a Bottle

Ryan Designs hung gold geometric chandeliers among the sprawling greenery to add a whimsical flare to the overall design. Flowers by Justine decorated the reception tables with pieces of fresh fruit. The renowned twenty-sided die-shaped table numbers adorned the reception tables, a tribute to Ali and John’s passion for Dungeon and Dragons.
