Jackie and Hutton have DeSales University to thank for bringing them together. They supported each other throughout college and cheered each other on at lacrosse games and dance shows. “I like to think we broadened each other’s horizons through performance arts and sports,” Jackie shared. The night of the engagement started with a dinner date in Belmar, New Jersey. Jackie even jokingly asked Hutton if he was going to propose as she was getting into the car. Following what Jackie said felt like the longest dinner ever, they went for a walk on the beach. As they were taking in the view, Jackie turned to find Hutton down on one knee. “I was so surprised and happy!”

Roll with the Punches: Jackie and Hutton’s wedding day might not have gone exactly as they anticipated, and they even had to re-plan almost everything. Despite the setbacks and COVID-19 restrictions, the couple rolled with the punches, and their wedding day ended up being imperfectly perfect with a small Catholic church ceremony and mass, followed by a micro wedding overlooking the Manasquan River at Jackie’s parents’ home in Brick, NJ.

A Family Affair: The bride decided not to hire a wedding planner, but many of her family and friends helped with details and decorating. Shades of ivory, beige, green, and terra cotta mixed with velvet, dried flowers, and seashells made their fall-at-the-beach wedding come to life. On the reception tables were ivory linens with centerpieces made of dried eucalyptus and bunny tails, with seashells at the bottom of each vase surrounded by candles and a disposable camera for guests to capture moments through their perspective.

Whimsy Romance: Jackie tried on about 12 gowns in total between two different bridal salons and even went to BHLDN by herself, where she narrowed her selections down to three designs. She then went back with her mom and ultimately said “yes!” to the whimsical and romantic Miles gown featuring a touch of lace along the sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder sleeves. Jackie accessorized with a veil handmade by her mom, emerald stud earrings, and a pearl anklet, gifted by one of her maids of honor.

Bouquet Breakdown: Toffee roses, mixed eucalyptus, small pampas, and scabiosa pods made up the bride’s bouquet. Jackie’s mom’s blue sapphire ring was tied around her bouquet, which served as her something blue.

Sweet Treats: The groom is an ice-cream connoisseur, so they knew they needed to incorporate this favorite sweet treat into their wedding day. Lexylicious delivered with a late-night snack, serving up gourmet ice-cream sandwiches including chocolate, vanilla, cookie dough, and mint chip on various flavored cookies.

Road-Tripping: The newlyweds originally planned to honeymoon in New Zealand, but that didn’t work out. They changed plans and drove through upstate New York and visited Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Cold Spring, and Windham.
