CASTLE HILL INN: A NEW ENGLAND COASTAL DREAM
For Ali and Ian, their journey to the altar was always destined to lead them to one special place—Castle Hill Inn in Newport, Rhode Island. From the very beginning of their relationship, they knew that this beautiful property, steeped in memories and magic, would be the perfect backdrop for their wedding. The love they both shared for the area, the water, and its significance to Ian’s family made the decision feel like a natural one.

Wentworth by the SeaCountry Club Summer Wedding
The culmination of a weekend filled with love, laughter, connection, and a lifetime of memories in the making.
Stephanie and Jake’s wedding day was the epitome of classic, romantic, and timeless. The design incorporated soft linen & velvet textures, handmade paper, a cream, white and blush color palette, elegant fonts with touches of gold, and romantic draping and ribbon detail.
"From the start of the planning process to their execution on our wedding day, Lia went above and beyond to ensure our tented, seacoast wedding was exactly what we envisioned! Lia listened to what was important to us and incorporated personal details that did not go unnoticed. My husband’s love for golf, my love for guest hospitality, and design elements like frosted glass signage and heirloom matte china that looked and felt like it was graced by the salt of the sea."

The room reveal that caused THIS (➡️) reaction!
It will forever be our favorite moment from Susan & Nick’s wedding day: watching their joy as they stepped into a space crafted just for them.
This effortless design was a true labor of love: from monochrome periwinkle hydrangeas cascading across the tables, to layers of blues and whites woven through textures and patterns. Every detail came together to create a quintessential New England look—fresh, timeless, and uniquely theirs.

Alix & Cam | August 9, 2026
Alix & Cam set out to design a wedding that felt entirely their own, and they did just that. At Alix’s family home in Truro, they traded the idea of a formal dinner for a chic, cocktail-style celebration that pulsed with energy from start to finish. 🍸
Think bistro-style seating, cocktail menus curated with intention, and napkins playfully doodled with sketches honoring their relationship on the Cape. Guests grazed, mingled, and danced as music filled every corner of the night.
The most meaningful detail? Incorporating produce from the family’s own @shapiroproduce - woven into the menu, cocktails, and even a vibrant melon bar. A true homage to legacy, love, and the joy of gathering. 🍅
A wedding unlike any other, crafted for a couple who wanted different, interesting, and unforgettable. Cheers to Mr. & Mrs. McClain!
