What better way to head into Valentine’s Day weekend than with a wedding recap? Remember Amanda & Chris’s wedding last July? They were finally featured in Greenwich Magazine! Click the photo by Mary Alice Fisher below for the story and more photos.
PS. For those who were curious about the result of my Super Sunday Pretzels – they were a huge hit and you MUST try them!! Mmm.
A few weeks ago, I was having drinks with one of Vassar’s friends who is presently planning her upcoming nuptials, and she chatted about how there is so much pressure to make a wedding unique and different. Yet, every wedding sort of takes the same shape, there is some sort of a rehearsal dinner, then a ceremony and finally there is a reception, in which you are supposed to show to all of your guests just who you two are as a couple, how creative you can be at showing that and make sure that those guys and gals have fun too! As I always believe, it’s in the details. It’s the little things that make a celebration stand out – because anyone can pick that venue, what time of year and those colors.
Which brings me to a wedding which I am honored to say that I was able to participate in over the weekend of July 17th – the wedding of Amanda and Chris! Amanda’s wedding was so perfectly… Amanda. That is honestly the best way to describe the lovely series of events that surrounded Amanda and Chris’s super fun, incredibly moving, and absolutely pretty weekend.
It started with an idyllic venue – Belle Haven Yacht Club.
And a stunning bride.
Nantucket baskets of blue and white flowers for the cutest flower girls!
Look at pretty Lilly amongst the perfectly set tables.
I love that instead of table numbers, guests were assigned to different cities with photos of Amanda and Chris in each one.
In lieu of favors, guests were given shells and a donation was made to a fund affiliated with one of Chris’ army guys. Such a touching personal detail.
The wedding party – so much fun!
Congratulations to such an amazing couple! I can’t wait to visit you both (and Colby – yes, the new dog is named COLBY) in Vegas!
