[field title=”Wedding Colors”]
The wedding colors were white, soft champagne, sand, green (via the grass, greenery, club shutters), and blue (via the ocean, club decor).

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]
Inspired by the bride’s love of all things white minimalism within interior design, the vision for our wedding was timeless coastal chic with a touch of modern. Wianno Club was the perfect setting – so beautiful on its own filled with character and seaside elegance. We worked to weave in textures and highlight the natural beauty + history of Osterville with rattan accents, pearls, and oyster shells. A refined coastal aesthetic is really hard to achieve without going too nautical, so we were very intentional about where we brought in these design elements.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]In true millennial fashion, the bride popped up on the groom’s Facebook page and he had to find out “why no one was dating this girl”. While from the same hometown, they had never met in high school. It was a long summer of playing hard to get but he never gave up. Many years later, he proposed on Christmas morning after opening stockings at home. Both being December babies, the engagement was special and intimate with time spent celebrating with friends and family. Our wedding day was 10+ years in the making which made 2023 a perfect year for us having begun dating in 2013. Guests received custom golf tees in their wedding welcome totes that were engraved with “REDDI IN TEN” – a play on our last name.[/field]

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]
The bride wore a draping silk gown “Bella” by Grace Loves Lace – a simple yet timeless look that flowed effortlessly in the ocean breeze. Reminiscent of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s minimalist ’90s wedding look which broke bridal rules at the time, the slip dress style was so comfortable and easy to dance in. The Grace Loves Lace dress featured a high slit to show off the bride’s tulle Jimmy Choo heels with pearl accents.

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]
The bridesmaids dresses, by Revelry, brought out the color of the sand in various styles and textures. While the soft champagne satin and tiered styles are modern, the cohesive look felt classic. The dresses were all floor length to create a more formal vibe, and blend seamlessly with the groomsman tuxes. The bride’s vision was that the dresses be as close to white as possible without actually being white. The bridesmaids did however wear white nightgowns lined with feathers in the morning, creating a chic getting ready moment.

[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]
Keeping with the classic, timeless feel, the groomsmen wore black tuxes with peak lapels and bowties. They were also gifted custom cufflinks personalized with their names and the Wianno Club logo. The groom wore David Yurman Mother of Pearl cufflinks gifted by the bride to align with the Osterville setting along with a two-tone Rolex Daytona.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]
The menu catered by Wianno Club included seaside features along with some of the bride and groom’s simple favorites such as mini grilled cheese and kobe sliders. Guests were served a duet entree surf and turf style – filet mignon and herb crusted chatham cod. The massive raw bar housed in a white boat was a crowd pleaser and served as almost a design piece during cocktail hour. The custom cocktails – Aperol Spritz and Palomas – provided a pop of color across the otherwise soothing coastal palette for the day. Guests were surprised with a flatbread late night station to close out the reception and fuel up for the after-party.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]
The stunning florals designed by Botanique of Cape Cod included dahlias, garden roses, ranunculus, and of course classic Cape Cod favorite, hydrangeas. Guests were greeted by a gorgeous floral arbor set against the ocean bluff as they entered the ceremony. The arbor was later repurposed to frame the sweetheart table – an eye catching statement against the white latticework. Classic centerpieces filled with white blooms added texture to the reception space and bud vases were used to add simple elegance to cocktail hour. Florals were a huge priority for us as they allowed us to enhance the already beautiful space rather than overshadowing it with additional decor. The groom also built a custom welcome sign color matched to the bridesmaids dresses which was adorned with more florals.

[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The simple but chic 2-tier wedding cake was a design piece featuring vertical lines, texture, and a raw edge topped with white florals. Guests were also welcomed to a Four Seas ice cream sundae bar, a local Cape Cod favorite since 1934. [/field]

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]
With the popularity of wedding TikTok and DIYs on the rise, the bride took many of the design elements into her own hands with the help of Canva and Cricut. The custom BT monogram (designed on Canva) was used across many elements of the wedding weekend including the letterpress invitation, the invitation and menu wax seals, drink stirrers, cocktail napkins, signature drinks sign, and frosted cups. It was also used to customize golf balls, which the groomsmen used throughout the weekend on Wianno’s signature putting green and golf course. The bride used her Cricut to customize acrylic accents including the card box, welcome table signage, signature drinks menu, and custom wedding welcome bags. The most labor intensive but rewarding project was hand painting 180 oyster shells in pearl and champagne and adding each guest’s name via Cricut to serve as place cards. Other DIYs included: venue envelope liners, invitation suite assembly with wax seals and ribbons, bridesmaid hangers, menu assembly with wax seals, and a hand painted / mod-podged champagne bottle. It was so satisfying to see everything come to life!

The groom, a software engineer, put his DIY skills to use creating all of the table numbers and the welcome sign lettering with his 3D printer. Each frame + number took around 4 hours just to print! He also printed initial wine charms for all of the girls to use on their coupe glasses while getting ready. The printer allowed us to use our wedding fonts and design everything exactly how we wanted when we couldn’t find what we needed available to purchase.

[field title=”Special Detail #3″]The flower girls used Nantucket baskets handmade by the mother of the bride back in the ’90s. We loved that we could give these baskets a new life and the New England aesthetic was exactly what we wanted![/field]
