Bespoke Wedding Weekend

Happy Monday friends! What a weekend!! Jackie and I were lucky enough to share the weekend with a beautiful couple and see their start as a newly married duo! All our weather prayers were answered because the weather was truly perfect! Jessi & Pat are Boston-based and what's more, Jessi is actually a blogger over at Mascara + Medicine! 

We made our way down to The Cape for their rehearsal on Friday! The venue, Nauticus Marina was beyond words gorgeous! It's a beautiful space that really is quintessential New England! Overlooking the water and boats rolling in, there really is not much more you can ask for in terms of scenery! 

The rehearsal went off without a hitch and thankfully it was more of the same on the day of! 

If you've never been to the Cape, every little town is too cute and looks like it can be in a Nancy Meyers movie! We chose Five Bays Bistro in Osterville for dinner - and they were the caters for the wedding as well! 

The food and ambiance was great and we couldn't be more thankful that they were able to squeeze us in on a Friday night! We like to cheers the night before to a successful wedding - sort of like a little tradition we have! 

Everything that was done for this wedding, was done with love and care - the bride & grooms' family made all the little details a reality, from a reclaimed wood sign to all the flower arrangements- it was elegant, crisp & clean! 

The first look is one of my favorite parts of a wedding day - that initial first glance, it's so special and seeing Pat & Jessi have theirs was very touching! 

Speaking of first looks - check out the dapper groom in his amazing look for the night! 

I felt like the paparazzi trying to get stealth-like photos of them!

After the ceremony it was time to take a minute to breath and of course take a selfie! Side note - these are my favorite sunnies and as you can see - Jackie and I have different face shapes but they compliment both of ours equally! 

The mini lighthouse was a beautiful space for the ceremony, but it also provided a lot of fun for guests, that were able to go up the spiral staircase and enjoy the views from the top! 

Right before it was time to cue Jessi & Pat for their introductions, they shared a special moment and I was lucky to capture it - stealth like again! 

The cake was custom made by the bride's aunt and the cake topper is from Anthropologie's wedding selection. The cake was ceremonial for Jessi & Pat, but they wanted to treat guests to something fun and different - cupcakes from a cupcake truck! 

Something Sweet from Cape Cod pulled up and served guests three different varieties of cupcakes for an hour! It was such a great treat and a great way to break up the night! 

While the guests were dancing and eating cupcakes, the bride & groom snuck away for some sunset photos! 

Jessi had asked us about ideas for an exit in one of our initial meetings and I remembered the DIY Confetti Poppers from Style Me Pretty - well wouldn't you know the bride's 13 year old sister spent so much time creating the perfect poppers for them to have for their exit! They also had some custom converse sneakers made to make dancing the night away a little more fun! 

The dance floor was always packed and the drinks were constantly flowing - I'd call that an incredibly successful wedding! Huge thank you to Jessi & Pat for having Jacki & I as your wedding coordinators for the last few months!! 

Funny enough - Gary and I are going to my cousins wedding next weekend and getting out of wedding planner mode will be very interesting! 

Hope you all have a wonderful start to the week - Link up below to share your weekends!
