Their family home in South Dartmouth overlooking Buzzard’s Bay was the stunning backdrop for Lilly and Will’s Wedding Day!

Set between the New Bedford Yacht Club, Ricketson’s Point and Anthony’s Beach, Lilly’s family home has stunning sprawling views of beautiful Buzzard’s Bay!

Naushon Island can be seen in the distance as well as Nashawena Island and the town of Gosnold on Cuttyhunk Island.

 
 

Mavinhouse Events planned an absolutely flawless day alongside Lillian.

Lillian is a Boston-Based Interior Designer and her elegant, effortless style that she brings to her home projects was especially present on her wedding day.

Lillian chose flowing Wedgewood blue floral bridesmaids dresses for her bridesmaids and maid of honor. Flounced sleeves were so flattering!

And for her own gown, a lace overlay dress with sweetheart neckline was perfect for the warm summer day!

 
 

Watercolor Floral Custom Seating Chart

The seating chart from El’s Cards was a custom watercolor and calligraphy design. Including summer jewel tones as well with watercolor flowers painted in a floral crown. Peonies, roses, greenery, hydrangea and delphinium were highlighted.

Guests then made their way to the tents. With its translucent ceiling panels and open feel, the stunning Clear Top Tent is the perfect choice for a venue with a view that you don’t want to stifle.

 
 

Farm Fresh Flowers in the Centerpieces

Carefully arranged in silver bowls Weatherlow Farms designs centerpieces that spoke to the abundant gardens of New England Floral Farmers. Reaching greenery, bold flowers and a variety of garden textures created a low centerpiece that was the highlight of the table.

Floral table linens with lavender and slate blue details were laid onto the tables. And table numbers were accented with a clementine and placed in an silver elephant place holder. No detail was overlooked.

Guests enjoyed amazing local cuisine from Glorious Affairs Catering and a raw bar featuring local oysters, clams and shellfish.

 
 

Fresh Flowers from Famed Weatherlow Farms in Westport, MA added a Summer Flair to the Three Tiered Cake.

A classic buttercream frosting with ruched texture was the canvas for Lillian and Will’s cake. Summer blooms grown in nearby Westport, MA were left in a vase for us to apply to the cake when we arrived. They were the most stunning jewel tones — those bold colors of summer — fushias, blues, and textured greenery — just timeless!

Careful delivery time must be held for a summer wedding in a clear top tent. We arrive during cocktail hour due to the heat and little shade that exists in these locales.

 
 

Choosing a Personal Cake Topper

A Herend Tuxedo Penguin Bride and Groom Cake Topper was an absolutely perfect touch for Lillian and Will’s Wedding Cake! Besides being a personal touch, the colors were just so eye catching!

Lillian chose flowing Wedgewood blue floral bridesmaids dresses for her bridesmaids and maid of honor. And for her own gown, a lace overlay dress with sweetheart neckline was perfect for the warm summer day!

 
 

A Second Dress

A warm summer day means the need for a second look and Lillian chose a light and sparkly sequin dressed accented with pearls for her second look!

 
 

The Prettiest Get Away Car

Adorned with a wreath of flowers, Lilly and Will chose ride away in style at the end of the night in their family’s antique car. The couple used vintage convertible owned by the bride's father for their exit.

With the top down we can just imagine that they were reminscing all about their perfect day and excited to begin their lives as husband and wife.
