THE WEDDING OF LINDSAY & MICHAEL

August

4, 2017 Watch Hill, Rhode Island

While Lindsay and Michael’s love blossomed in the Sunshine State, it was on the opposite end of the eastern seaboard, at one of their favorite travel destinations—the small town of Watch Hill, Rhode Island—where they were engaged and tied the knot.

Ocean House, a Victorian-style venue with sweeping water views, was the perfect setting for their wedding. Says Lindsay, “We started to think about the rich history and old-time beauty there and knew it was right.”

Inspired by the venue, the bride decided on a wedding theme that she describes— with a touch of humor—as “Hollywood glam goes on vacation.” And the couple’s vacation destination did not disappoint. Between the surf and sand, the spa and a day-after beach party, there was something for every guest to enjoy. “On the day of the wedding, my girls and I did the sauna, spa and brunch,” says Lindsay. Another fun touch: “Since my new last name is Rose, it was a ‘Rosé All Day’ theme.”

A few special keepsakes added meaning to the day. Lindsay’s “something new” was a stunning handmade veil, and her “borrowed” item was a best friend’s bracelet that she had worn at her own wedding. Most important to the bride, however, was her “something old”: a hot air balloon trinket from Lindsay’s grandmother placed inside her flower bouquet.

As for Michael, having his father officiate their wedding was a moment that neither he nor Lindsay will ever forget. She says, “Michael and I really felt like husband and wife in that moment.”
