Sarah & Pete's Rustic Narragansett Wedding *as seen on SMP

From SMP: If you’ve ever wondered why we can’t seem to get enough of gorgeous Rhode Island weddings, here’s your answer: their awesome.  And this pretty little Narragansett affair from Details With Love and Adeline & Grace Photography?  It’s a little bit rustic, a little bit romantic and soooo heartwarming.  In other words, it’s the kind of wedding that takes your regular Wednesday and kicks it up a notch.  See it all here.

From the Bride… Our ceremony and reception were filled with lovely details perfectly executed by Details with Love and beautifully captured by Adeline & Grace Photography. South Ferry Church was a rustic and simple chapel that we always dreamed of. By adding seasonal flowers on the pews, potted plants and antiques, we were able to maintain the rustic charm while making it reflect us as a couple. The Towers is such a natural and beautiful iconic venue that encompasses everything we love about Rhode Island. We saw it as rustic blank slate and decided to personalize it by bringing in a variety of details. One of our favorite details was definitely the custom chandeliers from Ryan Designs that were brought in and hung from the beams. When the sun went down and the venue was lit up at night, the chandeliers added a romantic, elegant feel to the room.
 
The flowers by Sprigs were another favorite detail of ours. Instead of having a centerpiece in the middle of each table, we had an ongoing tablescape across the long Tuscan tables with a mix of seasonal florals in creamy ivory and blush, tied together with gold table numbers, metallic wrapped favors and mercury glass vases and votives. In addition to all the tablescape, there were so many other details that tied the reception together. We had wedding photos of our parents on their wedding day and a variety of custom made signs for our photo booth, bar and dancing shoes. The custom backdrop Candid Photo Booth designed was a beautiful blend of blush satin ribbons and metallics. The photo booth provided endless fun and entertainment and was a huge hit with our guests. And when the reception was over we had a sparkling send off through a sea of lit sparklers held by all the people we love.

 Every shade of love, gifted by my husband in this collection of swoon worthy love letters from history's greatest men.


One of my favorites, culled from the private papers of Ludwig Van Beethoven, a beautiful declaration of love and longing.



In an age of texts and emails, this timeless and unique collection reminds us that none of our new modes of communication can compare to the simple joy of sitting down to read a letter from the person you love most.

We hope it inspires you, handwritten vows, a gifted keepsake, or perhaps a love letter;)
