Nantucket Wedding Inspirations

We can’t believe it’s almost October here on island. It’s been a fast, fun filled summer with all things wedding. Today, we wanted to share a project that brought some of Nantucket’s finest wedding vendors together  back in May (that seems so long ago). This shoot was done for Wellwed magazine (a must read if you are getting married here on island). As you’ll see in the video, this was a collective effort chock full of the tiniest details. From chargers meant to evoke the grey shingled homes here on Nantucket, to amazing letter press invitations that were over the top, to custom knit mini sweaters, and even ‘snowflakes’ to hang off the tablescape. Add in faux fur chair covers on a wintry-like grey day in May and you have the perfect backdrop to host a formal affair.

This chic inspiration board from Snippet & Ink is a fab starting point for a shipwrecked island wedding! We are in love with the easy, breezy, soft tones!

Here’s wishing everyone a safe, and happy 4th of July!  The island is jamming with lots of happy people.  Water fight in town is done and everyone’s heading the beach.  Enjoy!

I can not think of anything more Nantucket than blue and white! It’s preppy, nautical and just classic! This inspiration board could be the perfect spring board for your seaside wedding or rehearsal dinner. The hydrangea, stripes and grey shingles just screams Nantucket!

With  4th of July celebrations on the horizon we thought it was time to talk lobster!

Lobsters are a way of life in New England and nearly a summer time staple on Nantucket. Many couples kick of their wedding weekends with a clambake or lobster dinner. Some go for the formal lobster dinner at their wedding and some opt for the casual clambake on the beach. Either way you need the proper gear! We spotted these adorable “Lobsters in Love” bibs on the Bird and Banner website. Festive, fun and practical! What more could you ask for.

We spotted this creative escort card display and loved the idea enough to share it with all of you! This wedding was a recent feature in the Knot… but on the West Coast! Yes, everyone loves a little nautical inspiration on their wedding day! You can see more photos from this wedding on the inspired by this blog.

We saw this inspiration board over on Snippet and Ink and it fits our island style to a T!  Don’t you love that crisp green and white combo?  Having your flowers girls feet dressed in green is a great way to add a little pop of color as they make their way down the aisle.

A little bit of sparkle from Jimmy Choo! What a perfect way to add a little glamor to your nautical nuptials.
