Nantucket wedding inspiration (part 1)

About 30 miles south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts is Nantucket – an island New Yorkers escape to during Summer, and a great location for an outdoor wedding beneath a lighthouse overlooking the ocean. The collaboration of Desiree Spinner Events‘ styling talent paired with Trent Bailey‘s naturally beautiful photography make for a stunning shoot that will leave you swooning over a coral and white wedding on the island. The shoot was recently featured in Southern Weddings but, as you can see, we couldn’t resist from sharing all the pretty details that didn’t make it into the mag!

The pants the groom has on are Nantucket Reds – a light, faded red pant, famous in Nantucket!

We see a lot of seating charts on chalk boards and old window frames, but on a mirror? Love it! By far the best way to reflect an already gorgeous view.

We are so happy to see chiavari chairs that aren’t just gold or silver! The pop of the red against the white dining table and blue Nantucket sky is breathtaking! The beer bar was a DIY element; labels were peeled off and replaced with flavored beers names that either had Southern or New England ties. For example, a peachy wheat beer was renamed “Georgia Peach” and blueberry beer was changed to “Maine Blueberry”.

Floral accents were mixed with the stationery and vintage china to bring in Southern charm. The flowers are a mixture of whites to reflect the South and New England elements. As a final touch white vintage laced napkins were used, which felt very traditional to both areas, as well as strawberries.
