Kella MacPhee sent over this fun April wedding in Ocean City, New Jersey, and I thought it was a great way to end a week of bright and bold wedding inspiration.
The ceremony was held at Saint Augustine's Roman Catholic Church. After the ceremony, these wreaths were moved to the doors at the reception site, The Flanders Hotel.
The ribbon on Jennifer's bouquet also held miniature picture frames, with photos in remembrance of her two grandfathers, aunt and uncle. The wedding was filled with thoughtful, meaningful details like this.
Jennifer's bouquet and Mark's boutonniere both contained seashells that she and Mark had collected on their first trip together to the Amalfi Coast. Tiny sand dollars were also included in the men's boutonnieres.
All of the bright and beautiful flowers (hydrangeas, tulips as a symbol of when Mark lived in Turkey, ranunculus, berries and blue tweedia) were done by Savannah's Garden.
Seashells, sea urchins, and star fish were a recurring motif, without being overdone.
All of the stationery was done by Jennifer's cousin, Melissa Bielecki with Spruce Avenue. Instead of having inserts, their invitations were in booklet form so that guests could keep all the information organized. For favors, guests took home Ocean City saltwater taffy.
Jennifer's grandparents, married for over fifty years, originally had this cake topper on their wedding cake. The cake, by The Pastry Prince, was orange creamsicle! It was served with creamsicle sodas in glass bottles with pink straws.
In lieu of a traditional guest book, Jennifer and Mark's guests wrote notes on Ocean City postcards. After the wedding, their wedding coordinator, Kristin Barse of Bel Momento, sent them back to Jennifer and Mark's home in Washington D.C.
After the ceremony, Jennifer changed out of high heels into pink Converse sneakers, purchased at Target.
Jennifer's gown and accessories, as well as her bridesmaids' dresses, all came from Adrian Pierce Couture, about which Jennifer could not say enough good things. Just listen to this story!
On the morning of our wedding, the hair and makeup person was finishing up and she said that she would need my veil. I began to panic because I immediately remembered that I didn't pick it up and I was pretty sure that no one else had either. After everyone confirmed that they did not have my veil, we called the dress shop and Brittany [one of the owners] confirmed that she had it there. She called her sister April who took a detour from Berlin, NJ to Ocean City, NJ (about 45 minutes away) to deliver my veil about 15 minutes or so before the ceremony was to begin!
One of the best things Jennifer said to me was I wish I could do it all over again because I loved every minute of the planning - isn't that exactly how you want to feel after your wedding? Thank you so much to Kella for sharing this wedding - your photos capture its fun spirit perfectly! - and congratulations to Jennifer and Mark! (And also, happy belated birthday to Jennifer!)
