I may be Southern, but I have a soft spot for my yankee friends. And, an even bigger soft spot for gorgeous New England weddings, with Southern inspirations. Now that I've said my piece on that, the next thing I have to say is, "All you Lilly Pulitzer loving, Jack Rodger wearing, classic brides need to check out this iconic New England wedding that will have you make a B-line to the Cape." This wedding has so many inspirations, I can barely keep up! I love the classic J Crew-esque color palette and the grand location of this wedding. Any summer bride can draw inspiration from this seaside affair!
So here's a little background on this couple: Alex and Andrew met while attending Vanderbilt University. The ceremony and reception was at the Castle Hill at Crane Estate in Ipswich, Mass.
The bride and groom used a fun color palette of navy, hot pink, and celery green in their table settings. Although the wedding was in Massachusetts, the couple added southern elements in their reception, including a signature cocktail of sweet tea vodka and lemonade. The couple also chose a nautical Kate Spade invitation and created pin wheels (my favorite!) for place cards. Personal touches were visible throughout this wedding, from incorporating the couples dog in photos on each table to pinning the couples sorority and fraternity pins on the brides bouquet.
I know you will just fall in love and gather tons of inspiration from this classic New England wedding... I know I did!

Rather than a traditional guest book, the couple asked guests to write words of wisdom
and well wishes for married life. |
