Mood of our wedding
Mood: Tranquil Wedding
The defining characteristic-Oceanside wedding ceremony and reception
Best setting: Remote Island somewhere in the Caribbean, white sands, warm ocean beach
Most expensive version: Yachts that hold entire guests for ceremony and vows, private balcony for newly engaged couple to view sunset: dropped off after vows to outside cabanas for wedding reception complete with a lobster bake and picked back up on the yacht afterwards for private wedding night sail
Make due with: Local beach and function hall
Colors to be seen: ocean colors of midnight blue, tan and ivory
Wearing: long simple fitted gown, ‘flowy’ off white material
Cake: 3-tiered, beach-like effect with beach chair and sand (graham cracker or brown sugar) or beach cupcakes
Food: Buffet style with some seafood choices (crab stuffed mushrooms)
Favors: Beach rocks that are heart shaped and topped with small stones for paperweights (emulate a rock cairn for Misha’s love of hiking)
After party: YES! Taken to by trolley to the beach side Inn On The Blues with live music and late night food and beverage and cottages to sleep in afterwards
Morning-after-brunch: Yes, upstairs at the private room overlooking the short sands ocean for breakfast
What would I hope to hear as the guests leave on Sunday: That this goes down as by far the best Seacoast wedding that wasn’t rushed, well thought out, planned and personal touches present, and the best time they’ve ever had at a wedding!
