the details

Frances and Ben wanted an intimate and joyful experience for their 250 guests. It was very important to them that the space feel inviting and be a celebration of color, with vibrant tabletop rentals. A garden influence was also something close to their hearts, that was expressed through potted plants and local flora.

A collaboration by primarily local and friend-of-the-family vendors, this event ended up with the perfect weather for it's tented and outdoor nature, culminating in a bonfire at the beach under a twinkling sky.
