Mackenzie and Rob wanted the day to read romantic, glamorous, modern, and anything but ordinary for Newport. In our first design meeting, we worked with linen colors and built the design scope from there. Blush was a must for Mackenzie. She has always loved the feminine touches, but she wanted it to also read modern and chic. White, blush, acrylic, and silk were the blueprint colors and materials on how their dream was transformed into a reality. White drapery was pulled in to calm down the teak and yellow tones of The Bohlin at the Newport Yachting Center tent. Crystal chandeliers were brought in as lighting and were able to really transform the mood and feeling under the tent, especially as the sun went down. Guests felt like they were in a fairytale with the crystal lights sparkling over them the entire evening. Every little detail was tied in, from the invitations, to the day-of signage. Callidora Letterpress & Design created the most perfect invitations that were a thoughtful peek into the design vision of the day, which was extremely important not only to their wedding planner, Stephanie King Events, for a design concept but also to give a peek into the guest experience for the day. The invitations featured a custom Bohlin sketch, a vellum wax seal, and a modern logo all tied together with a pretty silk blush bow! Walking into The Bohlin it was breathtaking. From the large-scale blush and acrylic signage designed by Wall to Wall Ink. to the long Tuscan tables draped with an Ibiza white linen from Peak, it was a beautiful, thoughtful vision that was executed as designed. The Bohlin as dressed it had never looked before and wasn’t your average Newport wedding. It was ethereal, romantic, and modern. This was exactly what Mackenzie & Rob wanted. For the tablescape, we went minimal with a champagne blush silk runner paired with an opaque sparkly charger topped with a custom menu. The crystal glassware tied in all the glamorous details of the chandeliers and white drapery. Candles lined the tables, and the blush and white florals were an elegant touch. The acrylic chairs were a must to really emphasize the modern style that the couple loved. Stephanie Berenson Photography did an incredible job telling the story of the evening through photos. The couple lived through the event presently with such joy on their faces, and you can see that translates so well in all their photos. – Stephanie King Events

[field title=”Proposal Story”]Robert and Mackenzie met during the summer of 2017 through one of Mackenzie’s best friends and bridesmaids. They had an instant connection, and after 2 years of a long distance relationship, Mackenzie moved back home to Boston to be closer to family, friends, and of course, Robert. In July of 2022, the two planned a romantic and relaxing getaway to the Bahamas to celebrate Mackenzie’s birthday, and Robert knew this was the perfect location to pop the question. After going back and forth with Baha Mar’s event planner exploring all options, Robert decided to plan an intimate and private proposal on a dock, just the two of them, followed by a celebratory dinner at one of the more upscale restaurants within the resort. When the couple returned home to Boston, Mackenzie’s family planned an engagement party with friends and family to celebrate! [/field]

[field title=”Food & Drink”]During cocktail hour, guests were greeted with glasses of champagne, wine, and signature drinks. Passed hors d’oeuvres included fried chicken sliders, lamb lollipops, scallops wrapped in bacon, and a mushroom bruschetta. The incredible raw bar was a guest favorite, featuring local oysters, little necks, and shrimp cocktail.
The formal sit down dinner started with a mouthwatering burrata salad with heirloom tomatoes, Anaheim peppers, and basil pesto. Guests chose between a lemon bay chicken with charred vegetables, a vegetable terrine, or surf and turf featuring a petite filet mignon, butter poached lobster, and a truffled potato puree. The passed late night snack was a tasty chocolate chip cookie with a vanilla milk shot.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Florals were delicate and luxe, featuring blush and white roses, white ranunculus, and white snapdragons. The ceremony floral install was a floor arch that quietly hugged behind the couple but didn’t block the ocean view. It gave a luxe addition, but didn’t take away from the surrounding beauty of Newport, RI. The arch was then repurposed in front of the band for the evening and was the perfect touch inside of the tent. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The wedding cake was a three tier white clean iced cake with a pop of their wedding logo from their invitation suite. It sat on an acrylic cake stand and was decorated with just enough white and blush roses. [/field]
