Let love sparkle { Sarah & Pete } The Towers, Narragansett Beach

From our beautiful blushing bride: Our ceremony and reception were filled with lovely details perfectly executed by Details with Love. 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. Our interactive Candid Photo Booth was a huge hit with our guests. The backdrop was a beautiful blend of blush and metallics. The Photo Booth provided endless fun and entertainment. 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.
