The inspiration for this styled photo shoot, designed by Cape Cod Celebrations in collaboration with Sperry Tents and Ryan Designs, was a love affair with coastal décor. “We wondered what would happen if we designed an outdoor wedding space using the type of furniture, fabrics, lighting and materials found in the cool, crisp coastal homes featured in our favorite glossy home magazines,” explain event designers and planners of Cape Cod Celebrations, Jamie Bohlin and Stephanie Diaz Eldredge. “We wanted a light and airy seaside feel, with glimmers of shimmery elegance.”

To achieve this look, the team curated a series of coastal-themed vignettes beneath tents provided by Sperry Tents: a lounge area on the beach, reception tent on the lawn, cocktail area under open bistros, and a dessert and espresso bar by The Chocolate Rose under an intricate sailcloth arch. A color palette indicative of the seaside surroundings featured a medley of cream, pale blue and light green hues. Seasonal florals and beachy décor, including nautical rope, driftwood, seaglass and coral, further enhanced the oceanic aesthetic.
